Hey Guys,
As promised, here is my test of the quad mode on the Vimo Q:

Thank you so much for watching!
I think the early 2010's Canon DSLR's is how most of us got our start into "cinematography" instead of "videography". Being able to use vintage glass primes I'd find in thrift shops for $10-20 with adapters really made me think about my framing and focus.
The Canon 700D was my upgrade from the Canon XHA1 HDV camera which just looked like broadcast video.
Even though the Fuji was so much better than the Canon in your side-by-sides, on their own the Canon footage still holds up thanks to great framing and lighting which really speaks to your skills as a cinematographer!
I had to drop in on this one. I had the 60D first... and the X-H2S (and X-H2) now as well. Very familiar journey.
Great video so far but you may want to re-think your font choices at around 5.59 if you do another video with similar slides. It's hard to read and the wriggling is distracting. And now back to video
I appreciate the feedback! I'll keep that in mind.
Distracting and not great readability, not me but I would think that people with reading problems could be really annoyed
@@brandonyleeI actually really liked it, but I can see what some people mean
Awesome video man. Really loved that comparison at the end, it's wild to see those differences after all these years! I missed the second shot though, but saw immediately once your partner started pointing out the differences!
Thanks for sharing your progression
Great video and I feel like this is the best “how-to” and “why-for” video I’ve seen.
I got all 3 correct immediately. The difference in sharpness was night and day.
Buy a Ronin 4d, flycam backpack, Sony mount adapter, sigma 35, DJI pro mics with 32 bit float. All you need.
Thank you for the great content!
I got all 3 shots correctly, but from the dynamic range side more than the sharpness, because I'm watching on a 14" laptop screen at an unoptimal distance
BTW I still own a 60D until now, and I still love it, even after upgrading to EOS R system
Yeah, I used dynamic range as a distinguishing feature as well in the first two shots, the last shot with the cat, the difference in the fur was rather evident, which could be attributed to better ISPs?
I did get the three samples right, but it's not double the quality, let alone triple. If the videographer does his or her part, as Mr. lee does, and the glass is good, the 60D produces more than good enough video for social media, especially considering the equipment most often used to view it.
Thinking about my first camera (Canon T6i) is giving me so much nostalgia!
Nice one Brandon! Yeah I absolutely agree. A lot of the 'professional' gears are for pros for a reason and one should always choose their gear after assessing their own empirical use cases and needs. Of course this is already difficult enough for newbies like me, added to that the general dominance of consumerism and manufacturers constantly coming up with whatever that's more betterer, you just feel pseudo 'need' to upgrade whatever gears you've got. I've got a Tascam recorder, it's a D70 or something and it works absolutely fine. But for the past year I've been struggling to suppress the urge to get a MixPre 3. Like I knew the MixPre is better than the Tascam in pretty much every single aspect, it even looks better. But I also knew that realistically I don't need it, at least for now. Still, the urge persists.
I feel like the lavs don't really sound that good 😬
I'm a gimbal shooter, I've never used cages, side handles, top handles (apart from on FS7/FS6 style bodies), and rarely need a follow focus because of the functionality of cameras these days. I only bother with monitors when I'm on a static shoot - as run and gun they add weight, power requirements and most cameras can zoom right into pixels while shooting to check focus anyway.
There are a lot you can go without here. However, that adjustable plate, rigging cameras with V-lock instead of expensive internal batteries, and a range of ND filters are essential. These days, if you buy a V-lock with USB-C PD and your camera can accept USB-C PD while shooting, it can be even cheaper than buying dummy batteries (but this setup can be hindering on a gimbal).
Definitely agree with the sentiment about using the Kit Superzoom and find the focal length you find most useful. I love 65mm FF. Just wish Sigma would release their 65mm F1.4 for Canon Ef or Sony E mount....
Really nice segment with your partner. I got all those right, and yea, the difference is clear but the canon still looks really good without better video by it's side. Love your content. Have you thought about making a video about drone cameras?
1:16 roy is so fucking cool i wanna grow up to be like him one day
Great video, interested in the mike
Interesting journey. ✨
Mine is similar. I started with the Canon 7D + 28f1.8 and my iPod touch, swapped the 7D to the Sony a7II briefly, to then upgraded to the Fujifilm X-T2 + 27f2.8 and X70. Now I've finally come full circle with the Canon R8 + 35f1.8 and Ricoh GRIII.
I'm still waiting for a nice 40mm equivalent like i started with on my 7D, but it's more or less full circle. 😂
Super video! Could you maybe for the next episode compare the 60D and maybe even XH2-S to a mobile camera? Any semi-modern Android with MotionCam will do. That will allow full ProRes or RAW video which should be even more powerfull than the iPhone
Good idea
Magic Lantern on the 60D and I guarantee you, you'll have much harder time telling the difference. 1080p in Uncompressed linear raw is hard to tell from 4k on a laptop screen
Have you been trying out the s5 and s5ii or any other L mount alliance gear? My g80 is half broken and I need an upgrade. I will either get a used g9 or used s5. I know they are very different cameras but I know m43, I would like to hear what you think of the l mount
Wow, that 4-in1 would be great for my interviews
As an owner of the 60D, I can tell straight away which one is it on the A/B test. Typical Digic4 video performance: very soft footage.
🎉 sweet setup, also brings me back haha
I'm seriously considering the Ronin 4D because it'll allow me to sell basically the entirety of my rig, it's such a pain to pack, travel with and deploy
we had one at my old company, the cameraman there didn't like it. Was too buggy to use for normal stuff. He'd rather have a separate Gimbal when necessary
@@TechMediaLifr the new upgrade just came out and they addressed a ton of issues, it's pretty great now
But even that aside, for a solo shooter being able to set up a d get going in a minute and have every possible bell and whistle built in is invaluable imo
@@MaxRovensky good points. Just wanted to report my experiences but I haven't kept up with current developements. If you're confident, get it!
Something odd with the audio for this video. Its quiet and sounds tinny and compressed.
Compare it back to back with another video.
Unfortunate, considering the sponsor is an audio system.
Bizarrely, the section with Sophia sounded far far better than the rest of it.
Otherwise great video.
i compared my old canon 6D and my sony A7SIII in movie mode. the 6D looks way more cinematic than slog3 colorgraded.... i have magiclantern on my canon.
You nailed one thing but didn't expand on it... My Canon 80d videos looks fine in perfect studio lighting, (A bit saturated perhaps, but whatever) Vs. my Sony FX3 looks fan-f'n-tastic and is a pleasure to film in any situation. As a casual hobbyist you'll find out soon that strapping audio recorders to your body isn't as practical as one hoped.(I did it too, funny how my 80d rigged out for video looks just like your Canon 60D)
Canon footage there looks as if I had smudges on my glasses. Unfocused and soft. It felt uncomfortable to look at. I feel form a far it's serviceable, but some sort of clever upscaling must be done today to pass it. Colors look fine though
At 16:00 the switch to talking about comparing the setups was really confusing to me. Seems like a hard cut with no conclusion to the previous mic comparison. Took me a bit thinking something happened to the video just to go back and realize It's not me.
For the xh2s battery door do you have to leave it open? I swear there this piece that looks like it can be removed maybe to be able to close the door but I cannot remove it.
Yeah I do, it's a bit of an annoying oversight since older cameras allowed you to remove it but you can't on the XH2-S
Please sir make more videos
More on the way! I've been quietly working away at a bunch of stuff
i answered correctly. i didnt even look for details - i just was like "mmm dynamic range says it all"
Big matte box means big experience hahah
wow the 60D is really a decent camera for how old it is.
We all seem to start with canon EF 😅
Are you still working with LTT or you left ?
He left a long time ago lul
Your videos are a similar style to mkbhd. Love it
You had to come this far into the video to talk about audio? Really?
I've been using Comica Boom xd pro for over a year now - Best bang for your buck.
Would be saving up for the sweet looking shotgun
Well i'll be damn, i started with a 60D back in 2015, kit lens + niffty 50 until i got the sigma 18-35f 1.8..now im running nikon 😂
Hard to compare the resolution on a phone screen but the highlights were pretty washed on the 60d
I saw more dynamic range, specifically in the midtones on the Fuji, but still very comparable images for such a time apart.
1rd
why are all your videos on a warmer color side? @brandonylee
I have always had a general preference for warmth in my color grades and photos makes it feel more inviting.
@@brandonylee makes sense,thanks for replying brandon :)
