Hi Austin. Came across your video and seems very helpful. I will go home tonight and try out those settings. I have a question though. I am usually not to happy with my nighttime pictures. What do you recommend for nighttime pictures with and without city lights, also with and without flash for portraits. Finally what do you recommend for regular daylight pics. Thank you so much in advance.
After several shoots, I can count on my A1 for ONE thing… overheating! Use two FX3 (that fan makes all the difference) and leave the A1 for Wide Shot Context and photography. I use Blue Kondor cage and cobbled together a V-Mount, Monitor and Matt Box… all Audio is off cameras
100 dollars?! At our second hand I got one for about 12.5 dollars. Next day they have a cooler purple one in the window for 9.9 dollars XL. Why me. I wish I could cruise more easily. A great guy at our candy shop told me the biggest issue with cruising on a penny board is you have to stomp it 2 times then immediately again. It looses speed fast. Practiced in the basement with a smooth surface. Then when I got comfortable enough I tried outside on the newly paved walk way and I understand immediately what he meant. Not just does it loose velocity fast but DAMN that small size makes it a haunted house. Every uneven parts hits your legs and it feels in the entire board. Not even a minute on it and I could feel my lower legs tickle inside from the vibrations. And every single tiny pebble or rock gives me a heart attack. Hope I can get good enough to actually use it one day. My biggest problem is pushing then moving my foot back to the side. I quickly loose control when trying to move. And turning to the side my back is pointing is impossible for me right now. It's like my entire body is thrown to the side by the board.
Hey, I’m thinking of getting either the A1 or S3 for video and did want to do some slow motion- what makes the S3 better for slow motion ? Also have you had any issues with the A1 overheating ? Thanks
My rig is a Canon 5D mark iv (about to upgrade to the R6!), with a Tamron 45 1.8. All on a DJI Ronin RS2. I also use 4 Sony AX100's for stationary footage. I also believe in overly redundant backups. That goes for Audio (I mic the groom for my audio needs that captures Bride, Groom, and Pastor. I also plug into the DJ's board to record his aduio all night. And I have all stationary cams and my gimble capturing audio as last resort). I've been told I am going overboard for 1 person. I dont have a problem with the setup. That is of course until I get a DJ that isnt cooperating! I love it! Its me and my wife! We are a husband and wife Photography and Videography team.

people get wet dreams for all new lenses in mirrorless cameras, to me the best part about mirrorless is not having to use first party lenses and instead buying vintage
I like to use a 50mm f1.8 by Canon and 45mm Minolta f2, however shooting pics of kids is hard since when they are open, it's super hard to get tack sharp eyes.
I’d love to know your settings to shoot video… do you shoot 680 ISO with sufficient light… where your sweet spot for high ISO? Any Profile? Cine? S-Log? Mostly Run & Gun? CF Express?
I’ll answer my own question with another post… Josh Sattin says 4000 thru 16000 (whether shooting 4K or 8K) and 800 at Base ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T7osqlmmXh0.htmlsi=hd5sg6Oetjj89TN5 Also, Gerald Undone’s suggestion of shooting 8K internally and 4K out to the Atomos Ninja… over heated in a matter of minutes in a cool studio
Just bought my first Sony and I chose the Alpha 1 precisely because of the reasons mentioned - but I’m following Gerald Undone’s suggestion of shooting 8K internally but to get 4K - externally - over HDMI to my Ninja V and stay in Ty’s ProRes raw Apple FCPX ecosystem… I tried using Nikon’s Z “Filmmaker’s Kit” but Apple never supported it and I figure I can use Sony and relegate the Z6 (which still uses the Sony video chip) as a 2nd camera… at least until I can afford a 2nd Alpha or whatever Sony comes up with as its replacement
What kind of set up would you recommend for a documentary? I really like the idea of using a small rig with a handle. I'm not worried about the monitor. Also I saw you like the Sony digital shotgun mic. This is the first time I have seen it or heard about it. What would you recommend for a documentary for a on camera mic. I'm on a budget right now of 400 to either get a gimbal and shot gun mic or a small rig cage with a handle like yours and shot gun mic. Thank you
Cool stuff; I'm guessing the tilt/shift nikkor was actually a PC lens- the t/s lenses seem to be quite a bit more expensive. I've been buying old nikkors to use on a dslr but also because I can adapt them to my Sony. Two-fer !
I had 7,5 years Sony RX100IV and now I have RX100VA and I love it. Great photos, super nice slow motion and overall beautiful low light performance in video and photo as well. Thats why I think is better then mark VI. Awesome pro camera in innocent small body.
@@esterix101 Yes, if do not need low light performance and instead you need zoom, then is better VI. I just dont need zoom and I prefer low light performance. Good luck.
just came across the video! Thanks for such great information. As a sony shooter and looking to purchase the A1 my concern is the quality of the 4k footage - full frame. I get the oversampled super 35 4k is gorgeous but would you say the FF 4k is good enough to stand on it's own. Curious as to how it'll match against my fx3 and fx6. Would I be better off just shooting it in super35 than FF at 4k? Thanks so much!
It's much better with detail and dynamic range than the fx3/fx6. I used to own the a7siii and sold it for the a1, the quality is a super noticeable jump.
Quick question: Is there a sort of "docking station" for cameras? I have a lot of things in want to plug into the camera, but Im having an issue where my hand keep hitting some of the stuff I have plugged in as I'm operating the camera I have a handle, but my left hand is still too close to the cords that plug in on that side, causing me to knock some loose or weaken their integrity.
