Ep. 109 - A Case Against Image Stabilization 

This is gold. I've been doing video and photography since 2001 and the amount of new auto-based features in the cameras have been impressive. That said, just because a feature is there, it's not always the best to have turned on. Take the classic debate on autofocus - MOST people just leave it on even though it's not always giving you the best result. There is - and I guess there will always be - some parts, that are better done manually and this includes stabilization - use a gimbal or a shoulder rig instead, heck, even just add some weight to the camera to counteract the micro jitters. MAIN problems is, that doing focus manually, turning off ibis, exposing manually etc. is a REALLY tough job even for professionals and it might only give us the last 20% of the total performance / outcome / quality but it takes 80% ekstra work - I get that - but maybe we should play the devils advocate at admit, that the 80% result can just as well be obtained by the clients themselves and they might only be booking us to get the extra 20% in the future instead of just doing the pictures / recordings themselves in full auto.

The Canon RF 24-105, 2.8 is stunning. I'd sell all my others to get another one. Checks all the boxes. And it's a cinema lens first. Sony will have one too. It's a must. You can check mine out if you want. Just to see. IBIS can be on par with a Gimbal. That's why I use a strap. 3 points. You use IBIS with a tripod?
