I'm reassured to see a quality pro using "older" gear and getting pro results. I'm a hobbyist (high school sports for now) and have a lot of what you run, so I know my gear is capable.....the problem lies with the photographer!
Better gear certainly helps, especially as technology develops, but don't let it stop you
@@RobSambles Regarding a secondary/backup camera....I'm selling my 6D today. It's a nice full frame Canon, but it's really not suited for sports. This leaves me with just my 1Dx. We have about the same setup (70-200 2.8 mk-I, 24-70 2.8 mk-II, 400mm 2.8 IS mk-I), so your experience is super relevant to me. I'm planning on having a backup/secondary camera at some point. Locally, I can find a 1Dx for under $800, or a 7D mkII for around $650. Would you recommend getting a second 1Dx as a backup, or save a little and get the 7D mkII?
@@erik5024 It's always best to have two identical bodies if you plan on using both at the same time. Otherwise the difference in button positions be they large or small will catch you out under pressure and you'll miss a shot.
As a professional you're running a business and there are only two good reasons to replace gear, one is your existing equipment is at the end of its life and the other is when new equipment gives your competitors an advantage in the eyes of your clients. Otherwise you don't have to buy gear just because something new comes along especially as you'll often find new equipment actually is more about reducing manufacturing costs than genuinely useful new features and things you like and use are sometimes removed until the next iteration.
iv just sold my panasonic fz1000 bridge camera - i had previously owned fuji stuff but sold that because the lenses were just far too expensive for me as a hobbyist to justify - iv had a good couple of years with the bridge camera and im at the point were i want a larger sensor and the ability to swap lenses etc for shooting motorsports - i was going to buy a canon m50 but then iv been looking at the 7d mk2, a7ii, d750 and so on that sort of level - the 7d is REALLY cheap i can pick up a mint example from MPB for around £175 and then put the £ towards a USM 100-400 or 75-200 f2.8 - i was looking through flickR and came across some albums of motorbiking at the track shot on the original 7d and my god, the files are SERIOUSLY CLEAN!
Great Information. Must places only allow clear bags period
Rob--may be worth looking into upgrading to the 70-200 IS II if you ever use it with the R6. I know the documentation says you need the III to get 12fps mechanical shutter but the II gets it also...I upgraded from a used I to a used II when I got my R6 for a reasonable sum, got a significant performance boost but was mostly to get that green H+
Thanks, Rob! So now my camera bag is pretty extensive. For a volleyball tournament, I bring:
--Canon R6
--Canon 5D mkiv
--Canon 7D mkii
--Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L mk ii (EF mount)
--Canon 50mm f/1.4
--Canon 85mm f/1.8
--Canon 200mm f/2.8L
--Canon 10-22mm
--Canon (old film lenses)
--Canon 420 EZ Speedlite (2)
--Neewer Flashgun
(This is for the crew to use as well as myself)
I wanted to warn you about your bike-lock setup that a pair of scissors could make the lock irrelevant. A quick snip through the handle and the bag and everything in it would be gone, leaving you with the lock still in one piece.
Yep you're right. Its more of a deterant though, its never left alone generally.
It's more about deterring a crime of convenience. If a kid wanders by and sees something unattended, they might be tempted, but even the presence of a lock is going to make them think twice. If someone is targeting the theft, they're just as likely to have wire cutters than scissors and just cut the cable. But it prevents the most preventable thefts. Anything else would require effort and will draw attention on the sidelines.
Great video as always, Rob! Great reminder that I need to take a laptop cable with me. I often stop at a restaurant after a game to eat, edit and submit and I'd feel better about running to the head when I'm alone. I'll grab a bike lock as well. I can use that with my rolling tool box set.
I also keep a white balance card in my bag (I'm terrible at remembering to use it) for indoor games. I have a small pop-out grey card from Neewer.
My gear R5 R6 90d lenses RF 15-35, 24-70,70-200, 100mm macro nifty fifty, 100-500mm EF lenses niftyfity, 24mm, 10-18mm for 90d vlogging HP Omen laptop 65g memory full adobe suite bought the rain covers as recommended by you lots of scandish sd cards and anglebird cfexpress cards 128-512g got 8 of them pd carbon tripod plus rf 2x extended
Hi Rob! I am new to sports photography and looking at purchasing my first 1DX! Very very small budget but there are a couple I can get within that, the only issue I have is that they have around 1,000,000 (yep 6 0’s) shutter count. Do you think that’s maybe too much?
So what would you recommend with sd card size for sports because i have two 128gb size but write speed like 120 and 90, should i get ,for future cards, two cards like 64gbs with fast write speed or 2 cards that are 128gbs with the same speed as the 64gbs. Is it worth the extra money for more space or 64gbs is enough?
It's a telescopic stool Rob 😂
**SUBBED** excellent video, in mine i have the R6 (with converter) & 5D mkIII & 90D - 150-600/ 100-400/ 17-40/24-105/ 150 macro (wildlife & Nature) Laptop HP EliteBook 850 G3.
Waiting for the new Nikon Z9 cameras and new Z mount 400mm f2.8 tc lens and the Z 70-200mm f2.8 I'm Waiting for
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I have an R6 and 5DM4. I was to upgrade the 5DM4. Would you recommend a second R6 or one of the 1DX used? I like the R6 fine, but am I missing out not having a 1DX. I only have EF lenses currently.
Liked your informative video, which is in an interest area so very different from mine. I (husband part of the duo) am a hiker first and foremost and do lot of wildlife, landscape and hiking activity photography on the go. Would appreciate if you could suggest where can I watch some examples of your work. I just like to watch other people's work and appreciate it 🙂
Make sure you rent the RF 70-200 before you commit to it (or take a loaner from CPS). I found it unusable for sports. The zoom ring is too difficult to use in action. I barely made it through half a basketball game before it went back in the bag. The external zoom requires too much travel and effort to use compared to the EF.
I like pelican cases because they're convenient chair wherever you go, and 3 different heights, plus you can stand on it. I have the rare one that doesn't have the top handle so its more comfortable to sit on
Hi rob great video as usual have you found a good Touchup paint which you can use on a canon 1dx ??????
Excellent video Rob. Always enjoy your input on gear and sports photography in general. In this video you explain that the r6 and the 1dx are your main bodies. My question is when you crop images for editing, is the resolution good in the r6 and 1 dx .. I have a r5 but wish to get a second body either the r6 or perhaps the r7. I have no issues with the r5 when it comes to cropping but how do you find the r6 when cropping an image?
That rubber lens hood is fantastic. Mine keeps coming off the threaded ring but nothing a little "super glue" didn't solve
Nice video! I have one question, how do you pass the lock through the bag zippers so that someone can't just open it and take the contents? Thanks
Interesting as always Rob. I use my R6 on the 400 and found I no longer need the converter. I just flip the R6 into 1.6x crop mode to get the extra reach. Added advantage is I don’t lose 2 stops doing it can still shoot at 2.8
That's a good shout John. I'll give that a try
Your image size gets reduced on the 1.6 setting. Might as well crop the original full frame picture.
Personally, I also have a big battery bank that can output to a UK plug for my older laptop that bearly copes with one match. Essentially if I ever do more than one match or a very long event.
Great idea that
Reely reely good 👍
Good video Rob 👍
Another great vlog.
Very entertaining and interesting video Rob. I was having a cup of tea made on my camping stove as the storm down here in W. Wales has brought down the power lines, when your notification pinged up. Good timing.
I,ve been thinking of getting a roller case myself as the old body is getting a bit tired of carrying heavy bags. Also, as I seem to be shooting quite a bit more sport these days I am considering getting a 300 f2. 8 to go with the 70-200. I cannot afford to get a 400 so figured the 300 to be a reasonable compromise.
Best wishes.
Hi Rob. I got a 300MM 2.8 and I love it. I have a roller bag. I wish it had bigger wheels for going across grass. I hope you didn’t mind me commenting. 👍🏻
@@garymann499 No problem Gary. A 4x4 camera roller bag would be handy 😄😄. What are you shooting with the 300? I am currently shooting a lot of school rugby and although I have the 100-400 mkii I prefer to use the fast 70-200 as light down here is often crap. I think the 300 on a second body would be very useful and if absolutely necessary I could always pop the 1.4x extender on it to give me a 420 f4.
@@robertlawrence7958 Normally wildlife & football. You can’t go wrong with a 70/200mm 2.8 lens. I use the 70/200mm 2.8 & 300mm 2.8 for football mainly. I use a 500mm 4.0 for wildlife.
If you find a 4X4 roller bag, put me down for one. 👍🏻😂
Cheers Rob. The 300mm is still a great lens
Managed to drop and break the “neck” of my EF 400 mk1 Rob, any ideas where I might get it repaired other than fixation who won’t touch it due to its age ? Great Vid BTW .
There are some private repair places who might do it but if it needs parts you might struggling. Hopefully you have insurance if not!
Try Lehmann’s in Stoke or Colchester camera repair. If they can’t do it unfortunately it sounds like it might be a write off as the Mark I was discontinued some years ago now so the repair centres simply don’t have the parts anymore. Good luck!
There's also The Lens Doctor in Scotland you can try.
@@chankwanting I was tempted to mention him but he has some shocking “reviews”..
@@1964karlos Yeah, a bit marmite'ity reviews. Either he's the best thing since sliced bread or a horror show.
