  • One thing I hate in RUclips videos is jump cuts, when I'm editing my video I insert B-Roll. In this video, I'll show you how I record my insect macro video.

    Nice one Stewart, I moved to Macro Videography too when I got my A7Siii, I love it, it brings the macro world to life and gives a great inside in to how these little creatures move, clean and even eat. Look forward to seeing more Macro Video from you Stewart, I know it will be amazing and inspiring.

    Im right about at 3:26 in the video, and the reason im watching is that id love to do long video/live stream content of my pets!
    I have a 20 gallon long tank of Velvet ants and beetles adapated to desert living.
    Its incredibly entertaining to watch and i really want to do an hour of high quality recording of them all running around and playing with each other.
    I don't want to spend 750+ dollars for a camera or a lens, because i don't even make that much in a week.
    I will need a tripod as I have the shakiest hands known to man, a macro lens of some sort.
    A raw video processing program.
    And a long lasting camera.
    For all of this i don't want to spend over $1,000 because thats crazy expensive.
    I have a steam deck which i can probably process the footage on as i have a dock that can connect usb electronics like sd cars readers, mouse, keyboard, hdmi, microphone etc.
    I will keep watching to see, sorry for the essay lol

    Super-solid video. Comprehensive. Since you’re using manual focus in video, how do you feel about using a Laowa 90mm 2x macro APO?

    • @StewartWoodArt
      @StewartWoodArt  3 месяца назад

      It would be a solid lens with more magnification but you would loose the lens stabilisation.

Are there certain lens properties or lens that someone like me should at least consider looking into or ones that folks are using for photo that you definitely would not recommend? No worries if not thanks for the help!

    Hi Stewart, thanks for putting out quality videos. I’m a current Canon user with lots invested in lenses and different bodies. I’ve been struggling with macro using an R5/laowa 100/Godox 350C/ and AK diffuser. Can’t stack with flash, and find the whole rig very heavy and impossible for single-hand operation. I’m 75 years old, but still going, so I’d like to make things easier.
    Since you’ve moved to OM, I value your advice. What would you recommend for $1,000/$2,000/$3,000 kit? Thank you.

    • @StewartWoodArt
      @StewartWoodArt  2 месяца назад

      Budget friendly kit: Olympus OM-D E-M1 mk2, 60mm lens, Godox V359o and a Cygnustech diffuser. For a higher budget replace the E-M1 with an OM1 mk1 or mk2.

      @@StewartWoodArt Thanks Stewart. I was leaning toward Olympus/OM and your input seals the deal. Also, I’ve been following you for some time now, and credit you with introducing me to jumping spiders. I’m raising only one now, but have had several others in the past. Aside from the photography, they’re just amazing creatures.

    I find holding an iPhone far easier for macro videography, lighter and easier to get into hard to reach places. The screen and the lens are closer to the subject.
