@@paulyeung6608 really?? You think? Ahh they are so niche, my only worry is it’ll be so hard to post them because IG hates landscape

Thank you man! Idk how you make these so often, there’s so much work that goes into it!

@@mandula10 thank you!!! Let us know if there’s anything you’ve been wanting to see from us!

@@R3DLINE13 I think we were manually focusing on this one so it was user error that missed, the autofocus is pretty reliable, we just testing out a focus puller attachment. Which we don’t really use anymore because the autofocus is great.

@@raymond8897 Thank you for watching!! I love doing stop motion so I was super excited to share what I’ve learned, hope my insights help you not make the same mistakes I did when starting out! We have a 3rd video in this series as well if you didn’t see, should be 3 videos total from this stop motion tutorial series. Let me know if you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer anything! ~ Marc

@@raymond8897 oh wow thank you!! I’m so glad you found our stop motion videos! When we first released these with Kessler Crane, they didn’t do so well so we kind of stopped showcasing our stop motion work but I’m so glad you found it helpful!!

@@Mattspeak86 thank you!! We had a good time with these 🤩

It depends based on your workflow and how big you wish your files to be, but we use lossless compression usually on our Nikons!

This is the Fuji GA645! Super intuitive and produces some really sharp film photos. This model is an anniversary model so it has a bit of unique styling but still the same model

It's really cheap too.

@@diremooninite yeah it’s a pretty good deal!

On the video you mean?

Thank you!! We really love it, it’s so underrated!

No no we didn't throw it away, Marc actually uses it now. Landon still uses the Nomatic one though and it's been great! Both are great bags, Landon is just a little sore from his Z9 falling out of the open side of the Peak Design. He has strong feelings

Thank you! We actually ended up sending it back and found one that was in much better condition! But that’s great to know they’re actually pretty simple to do on your own. Thanks for watching!

The flash should have a hot shoe with electrical pins. Slide the flash into your camera’s hot shoe and that’s how you connect it

Landon here! Congrats on getting the Sony! For travel flashes, I’d suggest looking for something on-camera. The LightPix Lab M20 and Q20ii are great options. They’re manual flashes but I think the M20 has a Sony TTL option. TTL means it’ll meter through the lens and give you the right flash output automatically. These are also nice because they can be remotely triggered by their built in receiver like an off-camera strobe. The M20 is the one I use as my portable flash for digital photography.

The company where you bought it wouldn't be able to help, you will have to send it in to Nikon and have them look at it. Try emailing them first and see if they have a solution you would be able to do on your own.

This sounds like the same issue we had with ours initially. We ended up having to send it in, and they were able to fix it and return it

We’ve usually used Peak Design backpacks and shoulder bags. We still use those too though! No one got ditched lol

For the reasons in the vid

You got it!

Thanks! YT Shorts is a great way to be direct

Happy Shooting!

Yes it can!

Oh wow thanks @TiffenCompany for watching! We're really happy with the Black Pro-Mist. We're actually taking a set with us to film a Documentary in Japan this week! One of the reasons we did this big comparison

We have a Peak Design one too. Marc uses that one, Landon used to use it but once forgot to zip the side and his Z9 fell out. So he’s still bitter and doesn’t use it anymore 😆 But they all pretty much do the same thing

Thanks for watching! Glad they help!

Same as which one?

It is very good video! And yes Red’s patent when it was granted was so general and widespread, it shouldn’t have been granted. But hopefully whatever settlement Red and Nikon came to (which we’ll probably never know exactly) will pave the way for more cameras to unlock the RAW video format. Nikon’s definitely been doing great in the video world though, we’re very happy with it

@@RetroRocketStudios It was funny actually. Because I used a Nikon D7100 DSLR before, and the video quality is absolutely dogshit (but i've seen worse, and it's from a Fujifilm X-T1.) Both great for stills (loved the Nikon more though) but both having shitty video. It's funny because both Fuji and Nikon went from "crap video" to having some of the best video specs and quality in mirrorless cameras today.

@@RetroRocketStudios imo it's like Red is doing some patent trolling at this point. They sued Nokia, Sony (both lost, hence the FX9 requiring that stupid attachment to enable internal RAW video) and even Apple (lost as well, but ended up having Apple pay royalties to RED for the ProRes RAW) and also made others such as Kinefinity and DJI remove internal RAW video specs out of the box.

@@Jan-xf8sk They swooped in and took over the video market! Well they would if people tried them out over Sony's now

@@Jan-xf8sk Yeah it would be interesting to know what agreement Nikon and Red came to that allowed Nikon to keep their internal Raw

We haven’t got our hands on an f2 yet but everyone has their preferences. The 1.4 is a chunky softball. Have you tried the new Z 85 1.2??

@@RetroRocketStudios I have never owned a Nikon digital. When Canon went EF, I was like most photographers of the time, I switched to Canon. Although, come to think of it my Kodak DCS in 1992 had a Nikon N8008 partial body hacked onto the top of it that could take my old Nikkors. Other than that, I stuck with Canon until I went mirrorless, first Panasonic, then Sony, so I can use my Zeiss ZF2 lenses and old Nikkors on both systems. Happy with both MFT and Sony, so don't see myself going back to Nikon any time soon. Consequently I have no ability to try any of the Z lenses. I do stay loyal, however to my old AI-S lenses on SLR as well as Lumix and Sony mirrorless, and shoot film on both FA and FG. That is when I am at my happiest.

@@artistjoh Oh that sounds like a great setup! The AI-S lenses have been great on one of our Nikon F4's also

Thanks for watching!

This was all taken with Kodak Portra 400!

Beautiful texture!

The Z9's flexibility is arguably better than the Red at this point, there is no crop factor when doing higher frame rates like on the Red, which is one of their drawbacks for sure

Thank you! Appreciate it!!

They are beasts! What do you mostly shoot with it??

@@RetroRocketStudios Landscapes and nightscapes.

@@Astro_Aladfar Oh nightscapes too! That's awesome

@@RetroRocketStudios as I'm writing this, although not with film, I am shooting the Aurora Borealis.

@@Astro_Aladfar that’s incredible! If you post the photos on Instagram, feel free to share it with us, we’d love to see your shots! That’s quite an adventure

Luckily we resolved it, we had to send it back to Nikon but after we got it back we haven't had the issue anymore. For us, the problem still persisted after we cleaned the contacts on the lens.

Aw man sorry to hear that!! We were hoping those issues had been resolved by now, is your Z9 new?

ot it in December @@RetroRocketStudios

@@RetroRocketStudios got it in December

@@rrr46060 Oh wow very recent, dang sorry to hear you experienced this too. After we sent it in, we haven't had the issue anymore.

Lol see if more people only tried Nikon!! They’d never go back haha. All the Nikon hate on RUclips is usually from people who haven’t even used one before! Happy shooting!

I guess you could say our educated guess was correct? haha This myth is now BUSTED. We're super excited about the new lens, so far the videos of the RUclipsrs that received test units have been incredible. Sounds like Nikon is pushing this 85 1.2 as a heavy hitter portrait lens, but the application this thing has for video and film is something else. The focus pulling on it is phenomenal, and happy they made it with no visible focus breathing also

@@RetroRocketStudios Ooops, I should have commented after watching the video lol.... but indeed, people can keep bashing Nikon, but they will learn who Nikon is and why they have been in the game for so long, #humbly :) lol ... the new bodies will be super exciting too, let's see what they have been cooking for us..

@@felm.974 Thank you for watching! We're thinking about making a video now that it's been announced but we haven't gotten to try one in person yet so we may wait, but yes unfortunately people will always bash Nikon, but they usually don't even have first hand experience. Nikon for us has been really pushing the boundaries with their Z line of bodies and lenses, and we're so lucky to be in their ecosystem. I'm (Marc) really looking forward to seeing what the Z8 has in store. But with this new lens, I'm so tempted to get the Z9 like Landon now!

@@felm.974 What do you primarily shoot? Just curious!

@@RetroRocketStudios I currently use the Z6ii and it is GREAT and amazing in low-light. I recently bought the 50 1.2 and it is insane, can't wait to shoot more with it. I also have the 24mm, 24-70 2.8, 24-120 F4, the 35 1.8, the 28 2.8, the 16-50, and the 85 1.8 which is a beauty but at some point I'll invest in the 1.2 lol ....and I also recently bought the Zfc in black.

Just downloaded it 🙌

Lol I did! It’s in the description :) it’s called Mental Canvas

Lol if you have a clean shirt 👕

Oh that would make sense! That’d definitely be handy

Oh we gotta check them out! Yeah I think we’d really like to have a complete set of 1.2’s first too

Thank you!! Happy new year to you too! Any big plans for 2023?

@@RetroRocketStudios just keep shooting and saving money for all this new gear lol

@@KibbitUpIt ohhh yeah! It’s gonna be a pricey year haha 😂

@@RetroRocketStudios can’t wait to see you guys with the new 85

@@KibbitUpIt Us too! We're actually writing a short script now to hopefully film once we have the 85. Completely filmed on the Z9 with all the goodies. We're getting anxious waiting for that preorder list haha

Thanks for watching!

Dreams do come true! Hopefully within the next month!

Thanks for watching! :)

Let us know!
