When I thought photography was expensive af, then this guy appears with a robot on a rail system.
Thanks for the tips xD

[@wmpx34]

😂

[@anuivs2007]

Tip No.2 get an Oscar winning, car size, prohibitive expensive robot to move the camera

[@collintilton9555]

I thought it was really fun seeing the pro gear. The tips were good. I especially liked seeing what the different focal lengths do.

[@walidbenkaida1917]

This series with Steve is so good 👍👍 keep up

[@blakkneit9779]

Bro just wanted to flex on us with his cool stuff 😂

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

Nicely done. Thank you.

[@closeupvideos51]

At about .30 seconds did you just hit the lense with that thing in your hand? Nice tips

[@fityfive]

I like this guy.

[@TheSilverGate]

Tip 1: buy one of these big ass robots 🤖
Jk loved the video😄

[@mixeddrinks8100]

that prob len is pretty epic.

[@theanimaster]

So to sum up, how to shoot awesome macro video: buy gear that will cost more than your house and kids sold into slavery. Gotcha.

[@nelsonjt60]

Great content, what brand of monitor was used ?

[@vperalta]

Great video Steve.

[@wagonwheelfarm3092]

Very nice comparison. It gets me to thinking.

[@GoTravelPlanet]

great video thanks, new sub here

[@robertecarpenter]

so where are the videos this behemoth took?

[@codysimmons5525]

Very cool to see all this crazy equipment but not very realistic. Your tips are to find a $200,000 robot to keep shots steady and how much is that probe, like $3k. I will run right out and start practicing 😂

[@RevZafod]

Yeah, I just need to empty my living room ans install rails for the Milo to get great macro shots. Truly practical tips for the macro enthusiast. Now lemme go out and find a few hundred thou...

[@InuManiac906]

So strange out the 50mm looks wider

[@BikesAndSnacks]

Anyone else watch this and decide to buy a robot too?

[@focuscapes3903]

Tip #1 Buy a Milo!

[@850Tech]

Why is everyone using these super expensive macro lenses. Does that mean you can't get a decent video using something like an extension tube ?

[@850Tech]

Thousands than thousands of Dollars of equipment in this video. Aaaaaaand I just have an led panel and a macro extension tube on a kit lens 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ( Bye Bye Macro )
