Great info on macro filming, I appreciate the explanation of the difference in the lens workings between macro and regular. Helps make better decisions on the right lens choice. Love the content looking forward to November!
Thank you for the tips on macro lenses. We use them in our videos at church to exaggerate the size of things on tables. Keep the informative videos coming!
Dude... I was just looking for a straight explanation in physical and practical differences between macro and ordinary lenses. Couldn't find a good one... So just moved on to my next question... Macro lensen for video... TaDdaaaa!!! The answer to both my questions! Thanks a bunch...!!! #placingorder 😂
A quarter isn't going to show up as an inch in your video unless your screen is the same size as your camera sensor. Think about what you're actually saying...if I watch a macro video of a quarter on my 80 inch TV do you really think it's going to show up as an inch?
Great video!! Very easy to understand and i look forward to future videos to hopefully inspire me to make some nice videos or even macro photographs!! New subscriber!!
That's a very nice video! I didn't really understand why I need more light - I think I missed a crucial point. Also, for regular filming, are there any benefits of using a macro lens versus non-macro? Thanks, Ron
Awesome info for the beginners like myself! By the way, if I want to film something really close, such as a product review video, do I need to buy a macro lens to achieve the shorter minimum focus distance? I am trying to film a product review video in the first person perspective using both of my hands, but I realized that my Sony Alpha 6500 with kit lens does not allow me to focus on a product when I tried to bring it closer to capture the details.
Hi, thanks for the videos, it has helped me a lot to understand how to make videos. I'm a hairdresser and I'm going to start recording video lessons, we'll use two DSLR canon SL2, one to film the whole complete space (me, the model and assistant) and for that purpose what canon lens tells me? the second camera will be used to film only the head of the model to better show how I am cutting the hair of the same, and for this camera what lens tells me? in short, a lens to film three people and another lens to just to film the model's head. It does not have to be lenses with good focus because the background of the scene is totally white. I need good, inexpensive lenses to film my course.
How do these macro tubes work with 4k cams like the Pana G7 and also tubes cause some slight relsolution loss is what ive heard. So is this problem not so bad for 4K shooters who are going to do a final render to 2K ?
Very nice. I don't know much about video and photography. But I want to set up a miniature planet setup. The idea is to use a 12" are as the plane and just about 10" above I want to use very small LED lights to emulate the sun. In the shot the camera will be sub-plane looking up through a 12" diameter hole as to get the camera right at the surface of the plane and to tilt it up on a pan/tilt motor and to scan the "sky". The idea is to make the shot look like the light source is really far away and in focus I guess? What would you suggest? Is this considered a Macro shot? Or What would make the shot look more realistic?
Hi fellow filmmaker :) I want to shoot insects and nature macro video, what do you think about the tamron sp di 90mm vc usd on a t6i? Keep up the good work :) I just subscribed for more tips. Thanks and have a nice day!
Hey Richard, I haven't shot with a macro lens on a full-frame camera myself, but check out this great list from TechRadar! www.techradar.com/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/best-macro-lens-1310544
I know this is an old question but that's a lottt of light. Shooting 180° shutter for 120fps is 1/240 (1/250 in non cinema cams), and f11 requires 16x more light than 2.8 for example, so you'd need about 64x the amount of light as 24fps at 2.8. Get a 300Dii at the least or some bright tungstens at that point
That bubbles shot though... so awesome. Looks like I’ll be saving up for a Storytape subscription and some new lenses.
Wow macro lens make things look bigger - that's awesome!
Didn’t know the stuff about needed extra light for a macro. Good to know!

5 year old video but I cant seem to find anyone comparing storytape and storyblocks, similar stock service.

Another great vid guys, loving the tips
Really love the 1:1 explanation. I've used macros a good bit, but I haven't ever thought of it in those terms!
Katie Winton the 1:1 explanation is incorrect
These are really good tips!

Love me some Macro lenses... when used correctly... this is good stuff

I was just about to say the same. That part was a bit confusing but everything else was spot on.
Can you recommend a videography setup for recording detailed dental work?
In Samsung phones, you can take pictures in macro mode, but you can't take videos. Is there a way to take macro video on Samsung phones?
Great content. Going to have to look into some macro lenses to play around with.
Good to know! Will have to try macro for my next project.
awesome video
Great video!! Very easy to understand and i look forward to future videos to hopefully inspire me to make some nice videos or even macro photographs!! New subscriber!!
Great to have you!
Geez, these are incredible shots! Macro all the way!
Great info man.. thanks for the video!!
This looks awesome! Will definitely have to give macro a go, thanks for all your help :)
More great info and tutorial!!

Looking good!
Great perspectives!
What camera and lens would you recommend for taking videos of say moving insects like butterflies or bees? Thanks!

hey what lens i should buy for filming Ultra macro video for EF ?

Sooooo dope!!!
Could you do a tutorial on your Instagram stories?
Great idea! We’re actually releasing a podcast on that on October 24th. You can find it when it goes live at prochurchpodcast.com!
thanks for the info
great video Brady.. thanks for sharing your knowledge!
do you have any recommendations for macro lenses for a full sensor Canon DSLR?
Hey Richard, I haven't shot with a macro lens on a full-frame camera myself, but check out this great list from TechRadar! www.techradar.com/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/best-macro-lens-1310544
Is this lens compatable with canon xa30 camera?
you use the rokinon 100 macro with sony ? really curious to know cuz I'm thinking to get it for my a6500
What's the difference between "macro" and "micro"? Lenses and photography?
Great video. I have a question regarding light. Let’s say you are recording at 120fps at f11 or f16, what lighting kit do you recommend?
I know this is an old question but that's a lottt of light. Shooting 180° shutter for 120fps is 1/240 (1/250 in non cinema cams), and f11 requires 16x more light than 2.8 for example, so you'd need about 64x the amount of light as 24fps at 2.8.
