@@christophergreen515 I no longer use my 60D for video, but when I did I never sported a cage. Didn't find an option that worked for it - but I did get a top handle that clamps onto the cold shoe from SmallRig.
The MadThing wassup, you can buy gels to go over your lights to create that look, not expensive at all. Or if you need to buy some lights, Amazon also has some nice led lights you can use to light the walls, cover them with gels, and you get a great look!
Sam Beckman Hey Mr. Beckman, I was wondering if there is any other way of extending battery life while recording that's is more compact and it just has to give more than 2 hours, also is it possible for the t3i to record over 30 mins without stopping
Very Nice! I too got the Camvate and did it for my 80D. I used to have the T3i and it was a great camera (flippy screen + Magic Lantern Firmware). I want my T3i back :)
+NothingButTech88 You'd just need to buy the QR adaptors too. Then you attach the 502 plates to the adaptors. Hopefully that makes sense. It has changed my life having everything compatible!
My favorite lenses are a Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 and a 50mm f1.4. Almost the same as your favorites. All around solid hardware. Got the same Rode mic as yours , just need some better tripods / mounts for b-roll. Great video though, great choice of hardware
That looks sick! Anyway I could buy a side pipe for when I want to include a battery grip to my 70d? The rod that comes with this is only 145 mm and I need about 195 mm.
I have a similar rig and am thinking about adding a PD Movie wired motorized follow Focus. I was wondering if you have tried something like that on your rig. Plus something else I've noticed - I can't find any examples of handheld DSLR video footage using a cage with or without a follow focus. Whenever I see a cage it's mounted on a tripod. Seems to me that next to using a gimbal, it's the best way to hand hold when shooting moving targets.
thank you so much for this video. it's hard to find videos specifically using the t3i and I appreciate that. I do have a question: is there a way to do this rig plus being able to put it on your shoulder? thank you.
+Sam Beckman Hi Sam I really liked your video. I have a Canon 80d with a Canon BG E14 battery grip, will this cage work for my camera with the battery grip on?
Help. I just want the Sony batteries, the 2 seat adapter you have, and the dumby battery that way I can get 8 hours. Only having 35 mins on the stock battery ruins everything
Do you use the top handle for filming ever? Or only transportation. Trying to decide if its going to be a worthwile improvement over handheld for at least a tiny bit of stabilization.
I actually shot this on the Canon T2i - which is not a 4K camera, and in fact has the same image quality to the T3i. I upscale all my videos to 4K in editing because RU-vid handles the compression a lot better if uploaded in 4K.
+Mike Lubrano I have just come to a place in my filmmaking where I much prefer the aesthetic a telephoto lens will give me. The wide angle shots don't tend to give off that really cinematic vibe that I'm after.
Hey, I have a question that you might be able to answer for me. I currently have a vintage 50 1.8 and my kit 16-50 (on an a6000) and I plan to be shooting mountain biking videos with it. Is a 24mm prime something that you would even consider for that kind of application? thanks!
Ah gee that's a good question! I think that I would look at getting a zoom lens, something like an 18-105mm or something. Because with mountain biking, you're not in complete control of what's happening in front of the camera - so you want to be able to cover it as efficiently as possible. So a zoom lens would compliment your 50mm perfectly!
Sam Beckman Okay, thanks! Sony has an f4 18-105 that is decently sharp, so maybe I'll get that and an 8mm or something wide like that to go along with it. Keep up the great work with your videos!
is there a way i can use a mic for my canon 1300d because it has no mic input for example is there an adaptor or maybe a audio recorder for my rode ntusb microphone you can recomend
