CANON EOSM IS NOT FOR YOU! 

Lol I tried but I can't deny the help he gave me in the early days 😁

Zeek is the eos m king!!!

he is by far the King of M ;)

@@Altcine I’m late to this comment, but I should 3d model my man Zeek a EosM crown LOL, he deserves one

POV: You arrive in Australia with Eos M in hand (stock battery, old ML build) go to the underground Eos M meetup at golden hour by the water with pretty girls dancing around all the bros with their rigged out M's, someone's like "You're the new guy here, that over there's Zeek, better known as MK." "What does MK mean?" "Ha-ha you don't know? M-KING"

Nailed it! I can imagine how the frustration got to you and can kill the initial feelings of excitement. Then when you notice that a lot of clients are fine with 8bit/10bit you have to start questioning things. I know raw is great but I've been in the position where I'm shooting celebs and they don't care about the camera for their web series...just good light, sound & a clean image.....I'm really starting to look at things differently lately. Also that was a good example you made about learning via spending time on RU-vid and only real life scenarios can prepare you. Thank for the comment 👍🏾👍🏾

Well stated! I started on RU-vid about 14 years ago... with a Olympus TG-1 ( picked-up a cople of Canon's since, a T1i and a Powershot 540HS). Took a break from shooting videos for RU-vid when I moved to Nevada a few years ago. I returned to creating for my RU-vid channel about a year and a half ago. Have been shooting and posting with my cellphone. Going to dust off my old gear and get shooting with them again.

Bro....you nailed it! I don't think a lot of people understand that wisdom...when something forces you think more about what you do...you get much better and resilient in the long run. There is still an element of excitement using the eos-m that keeps you on your toes. Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it.

That’s like saying I gave up my house to be homeless, being homeless forced me to eat out of the dumpster it’s humbling and IMCE replied nailed it 😂😂💀💀💀

@@boomboombaby9140 It's about being in control of the camera, rather than the camera controlling you. But one is free to choose.

@@theodoreivanov6257 in the video he said shooting in the day and certain times in the day will give you the best footage the magic hour . With the fx30 you can shoot anything of the day even at night it will look like magic hour .I understand what he was talking about a long time ago I had a t5i and I got the best footage when the sun was in a certain spot or when a cloud covers it . Actually the camera is in control because it will give you the best images a certain time of the day . The fx30 will give you Netflix quality anytime anywhere

@@boomboombaby9140 OK

Hey Marcos, thank you for the comment and fantastic you're at film school....I've always thought about taking a small class myself. Yes the eos-m is definitely capable and perfect for you to get experience. Just make sure you don't get too bogged down with buying lenses and all sorts of stuff and put what you've learned into practice 🙌🏾🙌🏾 all the best bro and hopefully I get to watch one of your productions soon.

Awesome bro. Like anything this market is a hard road....but it can be done!

Yeah that's true. It sounds like you've been in the game for a while and have lots of experience though. But yes...doing your own stuff is very rewarding 👍🏾👍🏾 Awesome that you've ordered an Eos-M, right on time for the new build that's just been released. Make sure you join the group, thousands of us there if you ever need help.

Definitely bro, and the great thing is it teaches you about other brands too because the menu is quite in-depth.🙌🏾

Thank you 🙌🏾 and yes I know it's not easy. The best magic lantern experience is on the Eos-M & 5d2 & 3. With the others it's doable but you just gotta tinker until you get something. Stick at it though...magic lantern is a great teacher.

We can make a club. The knee mud club.😂😂

That's it bro, just start over...it'll all make sense soon and you'll be out there doing all sorts of things. You'll learn so much with this camera if you persevere 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Thank you, yes it was a great opportunity 🙌🏾 The Fuji line up is great and definitely something you can get good images from.

Hey Ricky 👏🏾👏🏾 exactly bro..just keep it simple at the start and work on creativity.

Thank you, appreciate the comment bro. Yeah 5kfrtp is a great mode and it's crazy that the Devs have found so many cool ways to navigate around the issues this camera has. I definitely think one should progress down the line and seems you know it well. I just don't get it when people try this setup for 2 weeks then put out a video complaining about it lol Thank you for the comment 🙏🏾

@@Altcine , my pleasure bro. Yeah, I agree that people can give up too early. But to be frank, if not the 14bit colors I would run away a long time ago. I mean, this picture (especially with a good light ;))... It's just mesmerizing. You need to shell out around 20 times more for a good camera to get similar picture without the compromises of the EOS M and Magic Lantern. Just buy a good glass, audio, and some lights, and shoot with EOS M. And shoot a LOT. Do it for free at first. Create a showreel. And when you start making some money, then and only then upgrade.

@@realad88 that's it bro... have a plan and work to sharpen those skills 👌🏾👌🏾

Looool you've moved on now 😁 Imagine me posting this on the Blackmagic group....there'd be a witch-hunt for me lol

Thank you 👍🏾👍🏾 Yes you can increase the bit-rate for normal recording. It not a WOW difference but it definitely helps. The only problem is you could be left with focus dots etc so definitely try it before you shoot anything meaningful.

@@Altcine Thanks man

Hey man, thank you.. I think the same rules apply when shooting with any camera ie exposure and lighting. The only tip I can give outside of the usual rules is when using 1080p for the most reliable recording, things like glasses and necklaces can cause aliasing and moiré. Also stripes on shirts etc can cause artefacts so just pay attention to what client is wearing.

@@Altcine Ah ok perfect, thank you so much for the advice man!

Yes that's true👌🏾👌🏾 lens and body are less than that though imo....I'd say light takes an extremely high percentage but it's just an opinion 😁

That's it bro, 100% agree with all your statement and that's why it has this cult following because some people have mastered it. I'm truly shocked by some of the great content I've seen made with this camera.

😅😅 yes bro....I can imagine some people from the community not liking certain comments and I think my nervousness came across in this video. I do stand by what I'm saying though, we...the old hats need to build this community more and show how powerful the camera is but it seems like everyone just loves B-roll & settings videos. I think this is why people tinker then move on without creating at least one meaningful project.

@@Altcine well I personally back all you said. There's no growth if you continue to follow the line. Sometimes you have to leave it and forge a new path.

@@titaniumshell thanks mate, that means a lot coming from you as you're very active in the community 🙌🏾

Thank you Chaplin. I fully understand....the camera level was definitely off. It's the first time I used this setup so thanks to you and another person I now know how to fix it. Thank you

Thank you bro, hopefully one day we can work together 🙌🏾

That's such a good use for it bro and I think you're the textbook on why we still use the m even though we have more capable cam's. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Depends on what you're buying the camera for. If it's to learn about raw video and colour grading then eos-m. If it's for making RU-vid videos, capturing events etc then the Sony will be more reliable. I think the a5100 with a speedbooster and decent lenses will produce a good image without fuss. The eos-m is like magic but it it does have its problems.

Awesome brother...I can't wait to see it... SERIOUSLY 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Good point bro and your guess is right!!! The journey is great, the people you meet and the excitement of it all. I would never have met the guys I currently do paid work with (on other cams) Wilson from Brazil and probably wouldn't be doing cinematography if it wasn't for the eos-m so you can see how this cheap camera changed my life. Sorry to turn your comments to "about me" but one more example. I used to love flying manual drones, the excitement that full control was in your abilities alone was very enjoyable. I moved to Parrot & Dji and the fun went away. Yes I was getting better footage but I didn't have to try and that kinda ruined the hobby. I should have went fpv but the drone thing passed. The eos-m keeps things fresh for us and gives us new perspective what and really teaches you how to overcome most other camera's limitations. Just subbed to your channel as it's my kind of content 😁🙌🏾🙌🏾

@@Altcine no you haven't turned the comment about yourself. You are talking about the things that are real, the good stuff, the real world experiences. Thanks for the sub, I provide G.A.S Support as a way to justify my own purchases, its not a good thing. I know exactly what you mean, limitation encourages growth, sometimes boosts creativity. Otherwise after a while everyone's footage, review, blog looks and sounds the same, right? . Did I mention I learned a lot from your videos .

@@SuperSlackOff awesome, I'm glad you understood where I was coming from 😁 Ahhh man GAS is a real problem lol at some point it settles down though. This is what I mean about being "over qualified " we spend so much time on the gear and not shooting but it does go away when you get busier. Yeah I'm going to binge watch you channel and see what I can learn👌🏾 thank you for watching and commenting

@@Altcine I have to warn you that my stuff is a bit amateurish though, but very personal, like old RU-vid before monetization.

@@SuperSlackOff Bro, don't worry...I respect the sharing of information....not how pretty things look. It's like those videos shot on a mobile phone telling you how to fix your car. Nobody cares about the quality when you're saving hundreds of pounds 🤣

Youd be looking at 5kfrtp or 2.8k. But you're always going to get a crop of some sort. The only way to offset this is to get a very wide lens.

@@Altcine how much crop for this mode?

@@toxotis70 are you a member of the Facebook group? There's a fantastic comparison made of overlays by a user called Belal m.facebook.com/groups/375018026655820/permalink/988744158616534/

Do it bro! You can create videos about anything! Spec ads, a 1 min short...even a tutorial about a passion you have. As long as it forces you to be creative and requires some level of planning you'll learn so much. And thank you for watching & commenting.

We had a long conversation on phone with lots of information passed but I'm sure he said it was a 5d2.

Respect Hasan 🙌🏾 are they not available where you are?

i've honestly looked everywhere in my country and i can't find any. i'll have to have it shipped from overseas 👍🏼 and to be fair, it is kind of for a niche audience so i wasn't expecting to find it here anyway. but recently ive really gotten into your videos and zeek's and they're really helped a lot. cheers habibi 💙

@@noureddinehasan Ahh I understand. I spoke to a few people from different regions who had trouble getting them. Hopefully you come across one soon as it's a great tool to get. Blessings my bro and thank you for watching & commenting.

Thank you. Mate.....it's unreal what you can do with this camera, I absolutely love it. He used a 5dmkii or iii can't remember exactly but definitely a 5d. He actually used it on one of recent films too along side an arri. They needed a motorbike helmet shot so they used that for it's versatility.

@@Altcine That'a awesome! Notice 2 looks awesome! I play with my EOS M when I have moments. To my eye, I could sneak some footage in with a higher res camera, and it might not be that noticeable.

@@adrianneely5882 ahhh cheers man...movie was a struggle but a great learning process. I think you're right! Nobody would notice and still wouldn't even of you told them. I'm trying to get out more with the m myself. I got so serious that I kinda just saw things as work & money. Trying to get that love of random shoots again.

@@Altcine Amen. Trying to make money causes all of us to lose that sense of play for a moment. I've been finding it again lately.

@@adrianneely5882 Yes bro that's right!!! I'm enjoying filming for fun again.

Hi Noty,, The first thing you must realise that magic lantern is not official fw and can have bugs. That being said, if you learn about it and don't follow the high resolution race then you can have a good experience with it. I started out with the eosm as my very first camera and don't regret it one bit. It taught me a lot about raw, cinematography and grading raw images and as you can tell I'm still a big fan despite owning quite a few other cams. The outlay is very cheap so if you don't like it you can easily sell it. Btw which country are you in because $200 seems a bit high unless it comes with a lens? I would have recommended a bmpcc OG but the prices have gone crazy so there is nothing....NOTHING in the price range of the m that will shoot raw...just know you have to know what you're doing so join the Facebook group if possible.

@@Altcine yoooooo i bought it today for 175$ incl basic kit lens 18-55mm and i guess it would be a great start for my journey thank you for your suggestion. :)

Hey, great price 😁🙌🏾🙌🏾 there's good deals if you look around and that's what people need to do ...don't rush and pay over the odds just because there's a bit of hype going around. Make sure you join the group in description and if you have any issues ..it's probably been asked many times already or we can help you.

@@Altcine thankk you bro appreciate it, your videos re greaaaat loved it, sure i will be joining the group

yo i cant find the group link can u re share it

Thank you, I'm glad 👍🏾👍🏾

Thank you 😊 yes man....it's still doing good things.

Yeah I hear that, you really have to be careful with it. I actually did a video titled 1080p kings. When I got my BMPCC OG they were reasonably cheap...I paid £350ish. Now people are asking ridiculous amounts for them. It really is a great camera but the price is too high now.

@@Altcine Absolutely. I was watching YT videos on how great they are, and now they cost over 1,000. FML

Xt4 is fantastic

too sharp and contrasty for film making.but great for retro photos

That's the way forward. I see so many people dissatisfied with the process but it's not always the users fault. I notice a lot of people either show the good parts or completely trash it .

@@Altcine I want to take this on and build out another cinema rig with the EOS M and Magic Lantern and learn as much as I can. It'll be nice having four cameras instead of three.

@@UnauthorizedCreations I hope it works out well 👍🏾👍🏾

💯 mate! I've been seeing some great stuff pip up lately but we definitely need more quality content.

Hey bro, You can still learn on the 10D so that's a good thing. Also you might want to look up 650d or 700d. They work very well with ml now and you might find a better deal than the Eos-M.

@@Altcine Oh.... my. :) Thank you very much, I will allow myself to feel perked up and delve into yon suggestions. Yup yup. Ahhh, the joys of hunting down info. Back in the mid 80s ws taking a lil' break from NYC and we rented an off season room at the end of Long Island in October. Dark storms, windy as fuck, and I had a lil' boombox with SW. And I discovered some Numbers Stations. Turned the holiday into creeepiness, and mystery. Decades later I find out I was hearing the Lincolnshire Poacher among other things. So, ty interthenets for fast info. Thanks Altcine, muchly.

@@janedagger sounds like a nightmare 🤣🤣. No probs brother, anytime 🙌🏾

@@Altcine Hi Alt, I have a question if you don't mind. I'm looking at the 600D and it looks like a good fit... however, I'm also playing with lenses, have a Konica to EF adapter which works well on the 10D. My focus cos of the tiny viewfinder is awful and really lke that live view. Can the 600D handle manual F/stops made on my lens? Or will it just dump its lunch? ty in advance.

@@janedagger if you plan to use magic lantern then it's 650d or 700d...not 600. The 100d works too but I've never used it so can't give feedback on that. Everything from you 10d should work fine on the above camera's 👌🏾👌🏾

Thank you 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Oh damn...really? I actually was looking into the camera lens apart from when I was thinking about what to say. So does it look like I'm not looking at the lens at all? I've been thinking about using a teleprompter so I'm continually focused but can't be bothered to type it all out lol. Thanks you and thanks for feedback.

I see what you mean bro, it's just when my eyes look around the room👌🏾👌🏾

I need help with my audio bro lol it's something I don't spend enough time on

@@Altcine same here brother

Zeek spoke about it on his new video he uploaded two weeks ago.

Hi, I will very soon 👍🏾👍🏾

@@Altcine thanks and am switching the notification bell on.

@@birianination7097 yeah that's right, I saw his post on the Eos-M group. I had a few issues myself so will start a third round of testing asap.

@@AltcineHi how is the testing going

Thank you, I appreciate every single sub 🙌🏾

Thank you 😁

I hear you bro! Sometimes it is very taxing and frustrating but it can work. Honestly the best way is to find was to shoot in 1080p. Look for ways to avoid aliasing patterns etc

@@Altcine Yer right, 1080p seems to work for me without too much head scratching. I tried the 2K preset as I have a c-mount TV lens to try...so far that's not been playing as expected....even if I follow Zeek to the letter.

Soft lenses can work great in certain circumstances and really help with 1080p on eos-m

@@Altcine definitely

Helloooo 😁

Absolutely! Interesting fact that Apke, the guy I mentioned in this video shot one of his later films on a big boy camera but still used magic lantern for a helmet cam shot.

I don't know how I missed all these comments 😔

@@Altcine youtube playing games don’t worry bro 😎

It's like the Microsoft bing ads....too much information.

🤣🤣 it's true though bro
