The BEST 3rd party battery for Nikon? (works with Nikon Z8)
Hello there and LONG time no see!
Today I'm talking about the best 3rd party battery for Nikon Z cameras (especially the Nikon Z8)
If you have a Nikon Z8, then you've probably already discovered that most 3rd party batteries DON'T work when paired with this camera. This was a big shock and somewhat disappointing to learn when I first received my shiny new Nikon Z8.
Up until now (to my knowledge) you have to use 1st Party Nikon EN-EL15c batteries to use this camera. That changes with Smallrig's release of their wonderful BLUE battery. It's affordable, performs well, and can be charged DIRECTLY with a USB-C cable.
This is a huge win for Nikon Z8 owners, as they now have access to a less expen...

    So, a decent video; but is misleading to call it a video settings for beginners. I think you need to get more basic if you want to say it is for beginners. This to me was more intermediate and I agree with one person who commented it would have been good if you did some settings and then showed examples of what those settings achieved.

    • @ZacharyEldridge
      @ZacharyEldridge 5 месяцев назад

      No audio? I'd go 4k 60 or 1080 60. This way you can slow down footage to 40-50% in your editing software to make it look smoother. Most importantly, think about what kind of video you want to put together before you shoot. That way you can shoot with the edit in mind.

  • @willywags7

    I decided to try one. I have a Z8 and Zf, and the SmallRig website says the new versions of this battery will now (since November) work with the Zf. I first contacted SmartRig and asked how I know if a battery at B&H is the old version that doesn't work with the Zf, or the updated version that does. They told me to contact B&H, which I interpreted to mean that there is no way to tell by looking at the battery. I then contacted B&H and they had no clue. They said as far as they know, there is only one version and it's not compatible with the Zf. So, I guess I'm not that happy with SmallRig for their non-answer. And, seems the only way to know is to buy one and return it if it doesn't work. I could, of course, just buy from SmallRig, but they will charge me tax and shipping, which B&H does not.

    Just did a shoot today and saw that the 4k 60 does crop into a DX mode. To get that fixed, just move your quality over to 1080p if you're uploading to RUclips. Otherwise, if you're using a 14-24 or 14-30 lens, you're in effect getting a 21-36 or 21-45 on your z6/z6ii

    Your video is extremely helpful. I understand you do your settings in the Manual (M) mode. What about the Speed (S) mode? In the Speed mode, I am unable to change the shutter speed. At 24 fps, the shutter speed is stuck at 1/30 and at 60fps, it is set at 1/60. I am unable to double the speed to follow the 180 degrees rule. Why is it not possible to change the shutter speed in videos as it is the case with photos? I am curious. Also, what is the difference between the Norm and High in the movie quality setting? Thanks

    • @ZacharyEldridge
      @ZacharyEldridge 11 месяцев назад

      It's a limitation of the Nikon Z6ii (S mode for video) which is why I stick to M- to give me that degree of control). Norm and High determine the bitrate of your video file. Higher bit rate means better image quality, less artifacts g, etc. With how cheap storage and cards are I recommend always shooting at high bitrate to ensure the best quality possible.
