Just out of curiosity, with just ballpark figures, for a space like yours, what does your rental and outgoings cost per annum? Just as my business partner and I are looking at a space as well. We're mainly a production company and shoot on-site but we're about up to 7 people across the state of Western Australia, which is big, so we're spread out a lot. Pros and Cons are quite equal in terms of weight on how it would affect us rather than quantity. Your opinions were helpful!
@@chanenchong hi and thanks for watching! For me it costs about 10k to keep it going yearly once you consider maintenance and insurance too. I know this is going to vary depending on where you're located. If you have about seven people who will be sharing the space, You may want to consider something that's much bigger than what I'm working with so you have room to work along with any amenities that you or the client might need. Hope this helps and best of wishes in your endeavors!
A lot of good information here but we should all remember that the need for higher bit rates is not related to a target platform's bit rate. That information is needed for editing. The lower the bit rate you record in, the easier that image breaks apart in edit. For example, significantly raising shadows in an 8bit video would result in a great amount of noise versus no noise in a 16bit video. I'm certain there's an Arri video around here somewhere demonstrating this.
I’ve bought some of the alternatives to Sony. Note these cards are VPG 200 (the 200 in the slate). This means the card ensures a minimum sustained write speed of 200 megabytes per second . The VPG400 address your statement @ 08:50.
Agree with all the above - great video. The P3 is perfect for pro use and essential for holidays. The 10 bit HDR footage I shot recently of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence was just sensational - far better than the DSLR/Gimbal footage I recorded a few years prior. I dropped mine recently during a gig and the gimbal vibrates slightly at extreme angles and although it still works, ruggedness is an issue for pro work. I'm still waiting for the chunkier pro version with optical zoom and all day battery with a detachable monitor/remote - there must be a huge market for that.
I own the DJI Pocket 2, and a few months ago, I purchased the Pocket 3. Unfortunately, I am now disappointed because the screen is malfunctioning despite my careful handling. While the image quality is excellent, the screen malfunction renders the camera practically unusable. Since I am on the other side of the world, sending it back for repair is extremely expensive.
always with me when going out, great small stable video camera, been using this since November 2023. great travel camera, and great B or C cam for client's project. 🎉
I was surprised to see you only have 222 subscribers. You don't get this level of quality at these low sub numbers. Great work. I'm sure you're gonna blow up
Lighting in photography is all about knowing how to use and control the light you have. I have used the AD200 and even used a V1 in outdoor photography and got amazing results. Thanks for the video.
I've been weight training with cardio for about 50 years now. I currently have two gym memberships (I work at one, so I get a free membership) but I have also always maintained my own home gym for the exact reasons you cited. I have no problem with working out alone, but I also enjoyed working out in the company of people who know how to act in a gym (not always the case). My home gym has the exact same rack you have (bought from Amazon during the pandemic lockdowns). I also have a LifeFitness elliptical machine, a bunch of weights, bars, benches, dumbbells, etc.).
I think the only other comment here so far missed the point you made repeatedly. I agree with you. Not many videos on the Godox AD 200/200 pro being used outdoors. Again, the comment below talks about the better modeling lamp of the 300 pro, and the modeling lamp is certainly useful (indoors) for me. This said, you can pop a round head on the AD 200 pro (if you can find one that fits correctly - took three tries and two returns), and solve the better modeling light issue - and modifiers as well (magnetic kit). For the price, my experience with the AD 200 pro has been very useful, and a great way to get started indoors and out. There are situations where I'd need a bit more distance between subject and light (and a larger light source) where the 200 might struggle to fill the bill, but other than that, for what you were shooting, clearly good for your needs (and I'm sure lots of others).
thanks for the response and for catching on! when I was looking for reviews on the AD200pro, i didn't see many people speak about its outdoor use case. there were many commentaries and breakdown of the specs, but no one really provided any photo samples or experiences in real time so I was hoping I could capture some of that in this video. for the price, the weight, and portability, you cant go wrong with the ad200pro so im glad to hear its been useful for you as well! i have a Bowens adapter for the ad200 pro, along with other modifiers so maybe next time I'll take it out with a few modifiers to show what it can do outdoors 😁
@@flproductions90 Agreed. I have the S2 Bowens mount as well and use it indoors with the Cheetah Stand 34" rapid box (bulb attachment) or with one of the several magnet modifiers with the round head (i.e. gels, barn doors, grids, diffusion, or snoot). I have not used the 200pro outdoors a lot yet, but I'll test it out as well with those modifiers.
Really no point in getting an AD200pro now that the AD300Pro exists. It's smaller, has more output, has a modeling light, and has a better mount with much better modifier options.
thanks for the comment! while i do agree with all of these points, the purpose of this video was to show that even a smaller and cheaper flash like the AD200Pro can still be a great tool for problem solving when it comes to outdoor shoots. i did consider the ad300pro but for the price, half the weight, and the form factor, the ad200pro is still great for both indoor and outdoor usage.
Yeah you right about the size. But the ad200 is far more versatile then that of a ad300. You can change the heads,you can use two ad200 with an adb2 to get 400w,You can use the ring flash which is great for events. AD 300 you just stuck with what you got after buying it. I have 3 ad200 pros and I want one more
A great review and I’ll probably go for the bag. But I’m fascinated by all the Ryobi batteries you carry round, but not any power tools to use them in?! 🤣
Thank you! As for the ryobi tools, they're all over the place lol i do use the inverter that allows me to use the batteries as a power supply which is extremely handy on long shoots
Thanks for watching! And I've had most of my luck surprisingly on walmart and Amazon where I've been able to get weights for less than $1 per lbs. The 'brand name' ones seldom go on sale but I'm almost 5 years in with the off brand stuff and have had no issues. I recommend adding them to your cart/watchlist to see when the price goes down.
@@flproductions90 , I have the original and looking to buy one with a waist strap to take the weight off my shoulders and put it onto my hips. Have you ever tried that while traveling? I too travel often.
just got myself this OneMo 35L bag and it a game changer 3:57 not sure if you knew this but there is a hidden slot inside the bag that you put your airtag or tracker or Tile ( check out inside where the bag tags paper is. 11:00 you slide in the tracker with your bagtags clean and hidden)
Awesome! And yeah it's been a game changer! Unfortunately the tile that I have is the big rectangular one so it doesn't fit in there 😞 and I'll definitely look into the tracker!
Nice review! It really seems a very good camera bag. How about the bag's weight? According to the specs, with the dividers it's 2.11 kg. I own a 1.4 kg backpack, so this worries me a bit when considering OneMo 2 25L.
Thanks! Personally the weight never bothered me, whoever came up with the design did a good job evenly distributing everything. I have a smaller 20L bag, a 40L bag and I always reach for this one.
As of today they still hold up! Still using them on a day to day basic for personal / client work and they havent failed me yet. Maybe its time for an update video? 😁
Excellent camera. I bought mine in September of 2021 upgrading from my A7III for my corporate video work. There were so many advantages to having a dedicated video camera with professional audio (especially when your audio is crucial). It is excellent on a tripod to film your speaker and excellent on a gimbal to shoot B-Roll. I added an FX-6 about a year later. They’re both great cameras and both have their strengths and weaknesses. For an all day workhorse on a tripod the FX-6 is invaluable. For running and gunning and moving around with your subject the FX-3 is your go to camera. They also pair well in tandem when you need another camera angle and want a b-cam.
You my friend have a dream set up and yes the FX3 is amazing after I upgraded to the a74 from an a73 and then paired it up with this FX3 to prevent any more overheating issues. All of my work has been A1 smooth
@@flproductions90 it’s a big difference between the A7IV and the FX-3. I had to get the A7IV to replace the photo capability on my A7III. I tried to use the A7IV for video and inside of 10 minutes it overheated and shut itself off. I would be in a lot of trouble if I was on a job and was using an A7IV for video. I wouldn’t trust the 7IV for video. Imagine how incompetent I would look to a client? Always bring a backup camera (even if you have to rent a backup camera body) with you on a paid job. Trust me, you will lose all credibility as a professional if you have to finish a shoot with your iPhone.
