It takes years of experience to find the gear that works best for your needs. And if your are serious, it's a never-ending process. However, price tag and high end gear does not guarantee quality or satisfaction. Some of what I feel are my best shots happen with the lowest-end, cheapest gear. It's the photographer and not necessarily the cameras. And if my photos suck, I convert them to black and white. B&W make everything look better. Thank you, Zdenka for putting in the work and time to produce excellent videos.
I laughed so much to comment about black-and-white photos. Yes, that is a secret we all apply. 😂 for video I’m finding that unfortunately the cheapest gear is not good. With photography you can certainly get away with it and just like you said it takes years to figure out the best set up. Thank you so much for sharing and have a wonderful day.
You forgot one thing....how do you fit time into your bag? 😊 I have all the gear...and desire, but i just dont get enough to time to head out on an adventure with it to make videos....and the worst is editing...i hate editing... talking about getting older, in my 50s now and i just am burnt out with editing...takes way too much time..and so i haven't done a lot anymore...
I hear you. Speaking of time I am going to be publishing a video next week addressing just that… I’ll share my systems how I manage my family time with business combined
I am getting into understanding video making and vlogging to help my daughter with her business. I wish I had found you ad your excellent videos sooner! You are so good at this!!
Thank you so much for your support. I’m glad you’re liking the videos. it is never ending learning journey and you will see. It’s going to get better and easier over the time. Best wishes.
Excellent video, really simplify and the word from the monento, the important thing is knowing how to operate the equipment we have, and really using what is essential 😊👏👏👏👏👏
Great video as always. Yah, I like the setup you have as a base. My bag has Canon R10 mirrorless, Insta360 1R, cellphone gimbal, and iFootage monopod. You can never go wrong with an Insta360 product. So versatile. Comica wireless microphones also when needed. Looking forward to seeing this new platform you are mentioning. Sounds exciting ! Cheers. Frank-
A very helpful video. Thanks! I'm totally with you in regard to clamps on tripod legs being highly superior to compression knobs. Another tripod must is a center post that raises and lowers for fine tuning.
Perhaps as I speak for myself, as I get older I want to go lighter. Back in the day, I would have 2 camera bodies and 4 or so lenses with all my accessories! My bag would be very VERY heavy. I was a commercial photographer then so I always prepared for all eventualities. Turns out, I learned I didn't "NEED" this or I didn't "NEED" that so I have culled it WAY down to a relatively light setup. I do use the iPhone 15 now as a personal travel camera . . . perfect? no, not at all, but it is light and very usable as long as you know its shortcomings. . . TEENY TINY Sensor!! :) Thx for the video, always nice to see what others use. :) (I use my iPhone but still pack a sony FX30 . . is that wrong?! :) )
I agree with you 100%. I am seeing the same thing. The older I am getting I just won’t think easy…. Thank you so much for sharing. Best wishes and have a great day.
As a freelance photographer and videographer I always carry two cameras and at least three lens and also few spare batteries with me. I am a APSC camera user luckily nowadays most of the new APSC Lens are small and compact. I am curious how those full frame user can stand the weight of all their big and heavy gears?😅
Lol I was thinking if you’d be using the hover x and guessed you’d be ditching the drone 😂, only didn’t realise about the 360 ace pro which is what I will use now after your explanation on it 😊 Cheers so much ❤ Are you able to please do a tutorial of how you sink your Sony camera’s audio with the Insta 360 ace pro?
Thank you so much for your comment. It is super easy to sync, the audio in the video editor. I use it premier so it has it. Just place the clip on top of each other right click and select audio sync.
@ZdenkaDarula you're welcome anytime Thanks for the free audio syncing tip as well I will have a look if you have a beginners RU-vidr course in any of your links ☺️❤️
Ahoj Zdeni! Nejoblíbenější gear je asi DJI Osmo Pocket 3 a hned za ní Canon RP. Mám ještě ZV1M2, ale tu prakticky nepoužívám, bere si ji dcera, když jdeme někam fotit pro radost. Drona mám taky, MIni 3 Pro a tak nějak zjišťuju, že to asi nebyla úplně dobrá investice, díky všem těm restrikcím. Za 3 týdny jedeme na Mallorcu, snad ho tam využiju, ale jinak... Nevím, no. Prodat ho nechci, finanční ztráta by byla asi citelná, protože jsem k němu pořídil další vybavení a to se mi nevrátí ani z poloviny v případě prodeje. Moc se mi líbí ten tvůj Hover, ale asi ještě počkám na druhou generaci. Ale vypadá super. Jinak obecně bojuju s tím, jaké sklo s sebou na dovolenou. Poprvé jsem vzal všechny a nakonec použil jen dvě. Paradoxně mám nejradší 85mm f2, ale zase mě to limituje šířkou záběru. Vždycky s sebou beru 24-105, ale pak je situace, kdy byla skvělá 16mm. Je to občas peklo :-) Jinak hezké video, jako vždy a těším se na další! Měj se krásně!
Děkuji mockrát za Sdílení.. Mám takový pocit že máme dost stejné myšlenky. Já jsem ten dron prodala protože jsem se baľa že ztratím na tom peníze když to budu chvilku držet.. Mockrát zdravím a užijte si dovolenou
Hi Zdenka, i have the insta 360 go3 & hover x1 .. just wondering about video editing from smart phone from either of both devices ... I'm travelling so thinking of weight, can i edit videos from both apps?, is it easy and functional or do you recommend someting else?, please I have a 1tb flash storage for backup Thanks for any help or advice really aporeciate your videos do informative and helpful 😊
Yes, and no…. at first you would think of it as a natural solution and easy solution however there are always so many issues with smart phones and once you actually try a normal camera you realize that it is thousand times easier….
