@@gerardorodriguez7858 Hey thanks for asking. Not too bad. Used about 3 batteries. I'll be honest I filmed most of it in 1080 because that record timer going down just gives me anxiety (even if it probably wouldn't have overheated). However, after the ceremony, I did a lot of 4k60 for the reception and exit and it was totally fine. I'm going to try to take a bit larger of a risk with 4k for my next one.

@@WaywardNorth agreed. I use my Sony a7siii for everything. I’m probably going to sale the R6 because it’s just not reliable at all for anything but photos
Great video. Big fan of the R6. Also the c100mkiis. Powerful combo! There’s plenty of advantages of using a gimbal over handheld as well though.

Great to see your work along with the review. You made photography a craft. It is great to see. I have been shooting the R and 90D. I have the R6. I am always nervous about shooting a wedding with a new camera. I am encouraged by your examples.
@@vedder7373 I use RF lens. I have the standard 35mm, 50 mm and 85mm. I have the L kit lenses 24-105 mm. 3 of those I purchased used. The 90D I have a sigma 17-70 and a 50 and a old 75-300.

I’ve had mine overheat multiple times on simple real estate shoots while recording to a ninja v. The wobble from the ibis can kill a shot but it’s definitely an upgrade from the eos r. I love hate it.
I totally get that. I have heard that if you are on a wide angle lens like a 16mm with IBIS on you will see that wobble for sure. I feel real estate shooting may be more beneficial with a Ronin and IBIS off? Ill have to try that next time and see if I experience that. Thanks so much for commenting!
@@PeacefulMoments1844 no idea. I saw other videographers fixing the overheating with the r5 by recording to a ninja v but that doesn’t seem to work on the r6.
@@DonnieRosie The R6? I have not found that to be the case. The Autofocus is incredibly smooth, touch to focus is a game changer especially when operating a gimbal. From my experience I have nothing but positive remarks regarding Autofocus.
Where do you stand on the lenses? I can't decide if I want to pick up the RF 24-70 f2.8 or RF 28-70 f2? As a wedding filmmaker do you think it's worth having those .8 additional aperture or should I just get the adapter and switch to using my 50mm 1.4 for reception/exit?
Great questions! I think both lenses serve a purpose and ultimately boils down to preference. On one hand, having the 24-70 gives you flexible focal lengths to cover more ground. The adding .8 aperture does two things, more light, and shallower depth of field. I love using my 35mm and 50mm primes on a wedding day and certainly prove helpful during low light receptions.
From what I understand - the quality out of the 28 - 70 is so good - it will replace all your primes. But quality is one thing and a shallower depth is another. If money is not an issue - I would say replace the 24-70 with 28-70 and see how you get on - or rent the 28 - 70. If money is an issue I will just stick to the ef glass. From my understanding the 28-70 is around £1000 more than the 24-70 - if it replaces all your primes the. It’s worth it over the 24-70. If you still need some primes - then it’s not worth it 😂😂😂 Hope that helps.

VE Videography hey man, comments on your videos are locked, so I’m gonna say this here: I love your videos! I got married years ago, but if I could, I would have you shoot my wedding any time! 👍🏻
@@FlavioDeFeo, it's always great to hear from others about how much they appreciate the films we create. From the bottom of my heart, I really appreciate your comment and it strives me to want to be a better filmmaker personally and with my team when we film weddings. If you haven't I'd love for you to follow our RUclips channel and others (instagram.com/vevideography, facebook.com/vevideography) as we'd love that! We always love sharing our work and getting our name out to whomever we can so we can create great films for those who desire to relive their beautiful fun-filled occasions and more so.
@@GioBenavidez Hey, yep! I recorded in 4K 60 for the entire shoot, roughly 8 hours, didn’t have an issue. Keep in mind your shooting times, if you are filming 5-8 minute clips, the camera is more likely to get hot and overheat. For weddings most of my shots are 8-10 seconds.
Thanks so much! I use the adapter for sure and have used the 18-35mm on the R6. Since this is a full frame camera you will need to have the APS-C mode on while using this lens to avoid vignetting at 18mm. I have the GH5 as well and the sigma is such a great lens for that camera.
Thanks for this video. Great insight. Any overheating issues? I work in Florida a lot and am very concerned about everything I'm reading. If I record a ceremony that lasts approx 30mins I think I'm gonna be screwed. But I REALLY WANT IT!! Especially for photography.
Thanks so much! I totally get the concern. I personally have not recorded a ceremony solely with the R6 because I do know it has a 17 minute record limit before overheating happens. I wouldn't rely on this camera being your A camera, but definitely a great B cam or Floater for the Ceremony. I love the camera and have been really happy with it! Especially photography!
Hey Matthew, great questions! I am using the Control Ring Adapter and the Autofocus is super fast with this thing! The sigma glass can be a little noisy when focusing but it is super quick.
Thanks so much! I only ended up using one card for the whole day. It was a 256gb card and I’d say I used half of it. The files are pretty beefy but that’s to be expected.
@@WaywardNorth That's awesome!! We currently fill up a 125gb card and a 64gb card on average only shooting 1080p. Yeah Canon's 340Mbps bit rate for 4k is no joke, but really comes in handy when grading! Time for us to upgrade into the big boy cards I guess!
Great video! I noticed that some footage was in a longer aspect ratio was that done in post or can you film in that aspect ratio right out of the camera?
Amazing footage you've got here! I'm torn between getting this or the fuji xt4 strictly for wedding filmmaking as well as corporate videos. Which will you recommend?
Ive seen really good things about the XT4 but haven't had a chance to work with it yet. Personally, I do LOVE the R6 but would but if you are torn I would strongly recommend renting these two cameras and see which one might fit your workflow best!
@@WaywardNorth Thanks for responding so quickly. I also noticed that you use c100ii. Would you recommend this ahead of the r6 for wedding filmmaking? I currently use canon 200d so I'm leaning towards remaining with canon as I already have some lenses I'd like to keep.
@@joelnyatse3852 I definitely recommend the C100 mark ii's. These cameras are still amazing to work with and they give you great quality as well. Files sizes are small, built in ND filters, Battery Life is excellent, Picture quality excellent, no record time limit, no overheating potentials, 10/10 would recommend.
I'm so glad to see the Canon R6 reviewed so positively! I loved your footage and was quite surprised (and TBH happy) to see you didn't have overheating issues despite filming the whole day! Do you think the R6 overheats while shooting short clips but several of them back to back? As an example, can you film 15 to 20 (or even 10?) clips with length of each clip falling in the range 3 to 8 minutes without getting the camera to overheat (assume that the camera is ideal for about 30 to 60 seconds between each shot)?
Raviteja Karanam Hey! Great questions and thanks so much! I will say that when I was getting b-roll shots 10-15 seconds intermittently throughout the day, this was the best practice to avoid overheating. Anything longer than 2 minutes and you could feel the camera getting warm. It also it dependent on the environment you are in as well. But honestly I had a blast shooting with it and the results are incredible! I haven’t tested longer shooting times yet but I assume just following canons guide you have roughly 15 minutes before getting to that point.
What lens are you using in this footage or which do you use the most when focusing on wedding films? Definitely will be transitioning to the R6 but discovering what lens compliments it best for weddings + elopements in specific is my current hangup.
I’m so excited to try out this camera one day! Thanks for your video, really made me feel good about this decision. Do you use DSLR lenses? Or RF? Thanks
Thanks Karina! I am still using my Canon EF lenses with my R6. I have tested the RF glass and it is beautiful! Definitely an investment either route you go.
Nice review, and reeeeally nice sample footage! I think one of the key points you mentioned here was that the R6 was primarily your B-roll cam, which indicates to me that a camera like this cannot be trusted as an A cam for most longer form video content which is a real shame, as I was planning on getting it!
Yeah there are a few factors that don’t solidify the camera as A Cam due to the no backup SD Recording, Overheating past 17 minute continuous record. My narrative cam is the C100 but paired with the R6 for the portraits, dancing, little moments through the day. It’s a beast.
@@WaywardNorth I see, yeah I rented it out for the weekend and managed to do a short review based on the short-bursts B-roll experience I had. Loved it! Is that 17 minute recording limit on 4K only, or 1080p?
2 года назад
So such a good camera is crippling without this basic video option. It seems that the R6 cannot record on the card at the same time and keep the monitoring on the camera and via the HDMI connector? I hope Canon will solve this soon with new firmware. We have been denied that monitoring via Hdmi and touch autofocus on camera, option that much worse cameras have.
Do you think I can use this camera to shoot all broll, getting ready shots, first looks and stuff like that in 4k60 and then shooting 1080 during ceremony and speeches or will it need to be completely turned off through ceremony/speeches to recover ? Mine is being delivered tomorrow :)
Not much, I’ve been in photo mode (M) and been able to record video but the image won’t be c-log it will be a standard picture profile. You could adjust your standard profile to be more neutral so that there’s not so much saturation and contrast but there’s currently no option for being in video mode and capturing photos from that mode. Annoying for sure
Something I'm still confused about: How do you switch between 8-bit and 10-bit video? Or is Log automatically 10-bit, and non log profiles always 8-bit? I wish the menu would specify the bit depth of the shooting format.
Great question! It was something that took me a few to realize it as well. When you set your camera into C-log or C-log 3 it switches the output to H.265(10 bit) when you switch or shoot in a standard picture profile it compresses to H.264. Hope this helps!
Wow, that footage looks awesome! Love everything about it! What kind of cards did you use during the day to shoot 4k60? V30, V60.. Also do you use autofocus on your sigmas with the adapter or go all manual? I Love manual but sometimes auto is useful and haven’t had a chance to try it yet. What were your main lenses during the day with the r6? the channel is awesome, thanks for sharing so much great content!
Hey Roger, thanks so much for your kind words! For the cards I am using SanDisk 128 and 256GB cards SDXC Class 10. I have utilized the autofocus a few times, especially for tracking shots, it is so fast! I use a 24, 35, and 50mm for most of the day.
Loved this content! Really like the idea of having a roaming camera at wedding ceremonies! Where do you leave the gh5 as your center shot? do you put it on a tripod or leave the ronin on the ground?
Thanks so much! I have done both, most times I leave the GH5 on the tripod and then take it off when they exit but now I just leave it in the center and use the R6 as my exit cam
Great review and thanks for sharing. Question, I heard you say your GH5 was in the centre, how are you finding aligning colours to the R6? I'm a GH5 user shooting Real Estate and some corporate work, have been thinking of switching up to R6 or A7SIII while keeping the GH5 as well. Any thoughts? I'm really happy with GH5's log 4K 60p 10 bit when recorded externally but it's least impressive in low light. Thank you
Thanks so much! I used to use the GH5 for real estate but I do think having either the R6 and AS7iii would be better suited. Especially the R6 because of its versatility. As far as colors, I do notice the GH5 leans towards the yellow/green spectrum while the R6 is more red. I’ve gotten accustomed to the workflow and matching cameras but if you are in real estate I definitely recommend either canon or Sony!
@@WaywardNorth I couldn't agree more. I have some canon glass especially the macro lens that I love. So tough deciding between the A7III and R6, I absolutely LOVE the canon colours but Sony really stepped it up this time. I absolutely agree on the colour side of things and I have been able to match some footage from my 80D to GH5 when shot 1080p. Thanks again
@@WaywardNorth awesome man! I’m waiting to receive my art6 today so I’m pretty excited! 😅 Tomorrow I half to travel to work on a Elopement so I’m trying to research as much as possible in order to know a little bit more before using it. & sorry for my english! 😬
I have a 128GB Sandisk UHS-II. These are going to be the best for overall speed when recording in C-Log/H.264. For 8 bit recording, you can use the standard UHS-I Class 10 Sandisk Cards. The UHS-I is significantly cheaper but the UHS-II is better for speed and longevity. Here are a few links of what I use: Sandisk UHS-II - amzn.to/3GTCuQA UHS-1 - amzn.to/3LbFgDs
I know it makes sense on the R because of the 4k crop factor, but would there ever be a reason to use an EF-S lens like the Sigma 18-35 on the R6? I was thinking of using it with the Drop In Filter adapter.
You can definitely use the Simga 18-35mm. The R6 has an APS-C mode that I actually love! I was concerned about that at first but I still use this lens on the R6
@@WaywardNorth Have you noticed any quality issues when going into crop mode. It's obviously just using a smaller portion of the sensor so I imagine there is slight drop off.
The 135mm works well for my ceremony angles, is the 70-200 F2.8L IS something that I would love to have..ABSOLUTELY. Primarily because of the Image Stabilization but honestly with the R6 paired with the 135mm it is like having the 70-200 with IS. Super smooth and clean. But honesty, the 135 looks great and gets the job done and not to mean isn't enormous like the 70-200.
Wayward North So tempting but so $$$. Appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I’m looking at getting the 135 sigma Art because your R6 with sigma glass looks like butter!! Thanks for the help!! Subscribed!!
@@WaywardNorth I had the R6 in my B&H cart and then saw Potato Jet say it froze on him a few times right before I checked out and it made me all worried haha. Needed to hear it from a fellow wedding filmmaker! Thanks for all the info on his camera! You also inspired me to start looking at pairing it with a C100mkii! Appreciate you & your videos!
@@TheOliveBungalow Oh no! Well I have been using it religiously since I got it and haven't experienced any freezing as of yet. Fingers crossed I don't. Thank you so much for the kind words, that means so much!
@@WaywardNorth they were videos when it first came out and I'm thinking maybe it was an early bug in some cameras that got fixed with a firmware update? Or maybe he got a dud! lol
@@TheOliveBungalow haha idk! There could be a variety of reasons why that happened but I would just make sure you do some extensive tests with yours and keep that warranty card handy just in case!
hey 👋🏿 this footage is amazing, but how is the editing process for this camera? I heard it’s a nightmare but I’m hoping that’s not so true bc I’m planning on buying the R6
@@TevinFosterDP The other option is to convert the files into something like Apple ProRes. Recording to a Ninja V, for example, can do this straight outta cam. Makes editing way smoother.
@@matrimonymedia7770 hmm I have heard that wider focal lengths can have an effect of the IBIS but I thought I read there was an update. Could be wrong. I haven’t noticed much shake at 24mm I’ll test that out.
I had the R6 for a week...after my first even in wich the camera overheated from 5 to 5 min I sold it! I use Canon camera for over 15 years but this one is TRASH on the video side. Incredibile AF but that overheating issue breaks the whole camera.
I mean it is definitely possible. It all depends on your shooting style, how long you are letting the camera run, how hot the temperature is outside, etc. For me, I am using this camera in 8-10 second increments and even when I do have to push it to a 2-3 minute clip, the camera does fine. I think if you were wanting to do a commercial project/interview etc where the camera would need to be recording for longer than 15 minutes is where you would start to see overheating.
@@WaywardNorth Thanks for this answer, I'm debating on this camera or the Panasonic S5. Have you had any expereince with the S5? What part of NC are you from?
What about the actual wedding ceremony. From the bride walking down the isle, to the ceremony to the exit. Very nervous about purchasing due to the horror stories I've read

VE Videography hey man, comments on your videos are locked, so I’m gonna say this here: I love your videos! I got married years ago, but if I could, I would have you shoot my wedding any time! 👍🏻
@@FlavioDeFeo, it's always great to hear from others about how much they appreciate the films we create. From the bottom of my heart, I really appreciate your comment and it strives me to want to be a better filmmaker personally and with my team when we film weddings. If you haven't I'd love for you to follow our RUclips channel and others (instagram.com/vevideography, facebook.com/vevideography) as we'd love that! We always love sharing our work and getting our name out to whomever we can so we can create great films for those who desire to relive their beautiful fun-filled occasions and more so.
@@vevideography same here, waiting for the r6, haven't arrived yet beacuse they jatve a silent recall of R5 amd R6 as the store have told me
Looks great! What SD cards did you use and how many did you use throughout the day?
I have a 128GB and a 256GB. I can use a 256 all day no problems!
@@WaywardNorth Ou! Did you do 4k60 8bit? No overheating?
@@GioBenavidez Hey, yep! I recorded in 4K 60 for the entire shoot, roughly 8 hours, didn’t have an issue. Keep in mind your shooting times, if you are filming 5-8 minute clips, the camera is more likely to get hot and overheat. For weddings most of my shots are 8-10 seconds.
Great video :) Do you maybe use EF-RF adapter with R6? I am using GH5 with Sigma 18-35 and I am curious how this lens would work with R6.
Thanks so much! I use the adapter for sure and have used the 18-35mm on the R6. Since this is a full frame camera you will need to have the APS-C mode on while using this lens to avoid vignetting at 18mm. I have the GH5 as well and the sigma is such a great lens for that camera.
Thanks for this video. Great insight. Any overheating issues? I work in Florida a lot and am very concerned about everything I'm reading. If I record a ceremony that lasts approx 30mins I think I'm gonna be screwed. But I REALLY WANT IT!! Especially for photography.
Thanks so much! I totally get the concern. I personally have not recorded a ceremony solely with the R6 because I do know it has a 17 minute record limit before overheating happens. I wouldn't rely on this camera being your A camera, but definitely a great B cam or Floater for the Ceremony. I love the camera and have been really happy with it! Especially photography!
How is the autofocus while working with an adapter to the RF mount to your sigma glass? Which adapter are you using? Thanks!!
Hey Matthew, great questions! I am using the Control Ring Adapter and the Autofocus is super fast with this thing! The sigma glass can be a little noisy when focusing but it is super quick.
Wayward North Okay great! Haha yes I know the sigma glass needs a muzzle 😂
Awesome review! Just got me so stoked on the R6! Would love to hear which/how many memory cards you used for a wedding with the R6!
Thanks so much! I only ended up using one card for the whole day. It was a 256gb card and I’d say I used half of it. The files are pretty beefy but that’s to be expected.
@@WaywardNorth That's awesome!! We currently fill up a 125gb card and a 64gb card on average only shooting 1080p. Yeah Canon's 340Mbps bit rate for 4k is no joke, but really comes in handy when grading! Time for us to upgrade into the big boy cards I guess!
Great video! I noticed that some footage was in a longer aspect ratio was that done in post or can you film in that aspect ratio right out of the camera?
Tony Capo Thanks so much. So I did add the 2:39 aspect ratio bars in post. I always like to dress up my wedding films this way.
Hi - which lens are you using for this wedding? Is it the Sigma 18-35mm? Thank you
@@vivianwong5503 I believe I was using a 50mm prime along with the 18-35
How do you export to youtube with the EOSR6? It will be nice to know your specific settings as I upload and it compresses a lot. Anyway, nice video!!
Hey! I use H.264 and export in 4K to RUclips for all of my videos. Hope this helps! Thanks a lot
Amazing footage you've got here! I'm torn between getting this or the fuji xt4 strictly for wedding filmmaking as well as corporate videos. Which will you recommend?
Ive seen really good things about the XT4 but haven't had a chance to work with it yet. Personally, I do LOVE the R6 but would but if you are torn I would strongly recommend renting these two cameras and see which one might fit your workflow best!
@@WaywardNorth Thanks for responding so quickly. I also noticed that you use c100ii. Would you recommend this ahead of the r6 for wedding filmmaking? I currently use canon 200d so I'm leaning towards remaining with canon as I already have some lenses I'd like to keep.
@@joelnyatse3852 I definitely recommend the C100 mark ii's. These cameras are still amazing to work with and they give you great quality as well. Files sizes are small, built in ND filters, Battery Life is excellent, Picture quality excellent, no record time limit, no overheating potentials, 10/10 would recommend.
@@WaywardNorth thanks for the feedback!
can you make a tutorial on how to shoot clog and editing. Thank You.:)
That’s a great idea!
Hey when filming with your R6 and using an external monitor are you still able to use the touch screen on the camera?
I'm so glad to see the Canon R6 reviewed so positively! I loved your footage and was quite surprised (and TBH happy) to see you didn't have overheating issues despite filming the whole day! Do you think the R6 overheats while shooting short clips but several of them back to back? As an example, can you film 15 to 20 (or even 10?) clips with length of each clip falling in the range 3 to 8 minutes without getting the camera to overheat (assume that the camera is ideal for about 30 to 60 seconds between each shot)?
Raviteja Karanam Hey! Great questions and thanks so much! I will say that when I was getting b-roll shots 10-15 seconds intermittently throughout the day, this was the best practice to avoid overheating. Anything longer than 2 minutes and you could feel the camera getting warm. It also it dependent on the environment you are in as well. But honestly I had a blast shooting with it and the results are incredible! I haven’t tested longer shooting times yet but I assume just following canons guide you have roughly 15 minutes before getting to that point.
What lens are you using in this footage or which do you use the most when focusing on wedding films? Definitely will be transitioning to the R6 but discovering what lens compliments it best for weddings + elopements in specific is my current hangup.
I’m so excited to try out this camera one day! Thanks for your video, really made me feel good about this decision. Do you use DSLR lenses? Or RF? Thanks
Thanks Karina! I am still using my Canon EF lenses with my R6. I have tested the RF glass and it is beautiful! Definitely an investment either route you go.
Nice review, and reeeeally nice sample footage! I think one of the key points you mentioned here was that the R6 was primarily your B-roll cam, which indicates to me that a camera like this cannot be trusted as an A cam for most longer form video content which is a real shame, as I was planning on getting it!
Yeah there are a few factors that don’t solidify the camera as A Cam due to the no backup SD Recording, Overheating past 17 minute continuous record. My narrative cam is the C100 but paired with the R6 for the portraits, dancing, little moments through the day. It’s a beast.
@@WaywardNorth I see, yeah I rented it out for the weekend and managed to do a short review based on the short-bursts B-roll experience I had. Loved it! Is that 17 minute recording limit on 4K only, or 1080p?
So such a good camera is crippling without this basic video option. It seems that the R6 cannot record on the card at the same time and keep the monitoring on the camera and via the HDMI connector? I hope Canon will solve this soon with new firmware.
We have been denied that monitoring via Hdmi and touch autofocus on camera, option that much worse cameras have.
Do you think I can use this camera to shoot all broll, getting ready shots, first looks and stuff like that in 4k60 and then shooting 1080 during ceremony and speeches or will it need to be completely turned off through ceremony/speeches to recover ? Mine is being delivered tomorrow :)
I honestly think you will be fine if you went that route! Let me know how that works!
Nice colorgrades, what editing software you are using
do you have any tips or work arounds with going back and forth between photo and video?
Not much, I’ve been in photo mode (M) and been able to record video but the image won’t be c-log it will be a standard picture profile. You could adjust your standard profile to be more neutral so that there’s not so much saturation and contrast but there’s currently no option for being in video mode and capturing photos from that mode. Annoying for sure
Something I'm still confused about: How do you switch between 8-bit and 10-bit video? Or is Log automatically 10-bit, and non log profiles always 8-bit? I wish the menu would specify the bit depth of the shooting format.
Great question! It was something that took me a few to realize it as well. When you set your camera into C-log or C-log 3 it switches the output to H.265(10 bit) when you switch or shoot in a standard picture profile it compresses to H.264. Hope this helps!
Wow, that footage looks awesome! Love everything about it! What kind of cards did you use during the day to shoot 4k60? V30, V60.. Also do you use autofocus on your sigmas with the adapter or go all manual? I Love manual but sometimes auto is useful and haven’t had a chance to try it yet. What were your main lenses during the day with the r6? the channel is awesome, thanks for sharing so much great content!
Hey Roger, thanks so much for your kind words! For the cards I am using SanDisk 128 and 256GB cards SDXC Class 10. I have utilized the autofocus a few times, especially for tracking shots, it is so fast! I use a 24, 35, and 50mm for most of the day.
Loved this content! Really like the idea of having a roaming camera at wedding ceremonies! Where do you leave the gh5 as your center shot? do you put it on a tripod or leave the ronin on the ground?
Thanks so much! I have done both, most times I leave the GH5 on the tripod and then take it off when they exit but now I just leave it in the center and use the R6 as my exit cam
@@WaywardNorth Thanks so much! good thoughts!
Great review and thanks for sharing. Question, I heard you say your GH5 was in the centre, how are you finding aligning colours to the R6? I'm a GH5 user shooting Real Estate and some corporate work, have been thinking of switching up to R6 or A7SIII while keeping the GH5 as well. Any thoughts? I'm really happy with GH5's log 4K 60p 10 bit when recorded externally but it's least impressive in low light. Thank you
Thanks so much! I used to use the GH5 for real estate but I do think having either the R6 and AS7iii would be better suited. Especially the R6 because of its versatility. As far as colors, I do notice the GH5 leans towards the yellow/green spectrum while the R6 is more red. I’ve gotten accustomed to the workflow and matching cameras but if you are in real estate I definitely recommend either canon or Sony!
@@WaywardNorth I couldn't agree more. I have some canon glass especially the macro lens that I love. So tough deciding between the A7III and R6, I absolutely LOVE the canon colours but Sony really stepped it up this time. I absolutely agree on the colour side of things and I have been able to match some footage from my 80D to GH5 when shot 1080p. Thanks again
The reason I buy my canon r6 if because off you thank you I used to have canon 6D mark ii
Man!!!! Love the wedding video example! So on point! ✨❤️
You record this on C-log ???
Thanks so much man! Yeah I recorded this whole event in C-log and love how everything turned out!
@@WaywardNorth awesome man! I’m waiting to receive my art6 today so I’m pretty excited! 😅 Tomorrow I half to travel to work on a Elopement so I’m trying to research as much as possible in order to know a little bit more before using it.

Bro 5d mark iv and and EOS R and r6 which one is best for wedding photography and long term use
Any of these would be a great long term solution for wedding photography
hi! i was wondering what SD card you use for filming? mine keeps stopping after 10 seconds.
I have a 128GB Sandisk UHS-II. These are going to be the best for overall speed when recording in C-Log/H.264. For 8 bit recording, you can use the standard UHS-I Class 10 Sandisk Cards. The UHS-I is significantly cheaper but the UHS-II is better for speed and longevity.
Here are a few links of what I use:
Sandisk UHS-II - amzn.to/3GTCuQA
UHS-1 - amzn.to/3LbFgDs
@@WaywardNorth Awesome! Thank you so much!!
I know it makes sense on the R because of the 4k crop factor, but would there ever be a reason to use an EF-S lens like the Sigma 18-35 on the R6? I was thinking of using it with the Drop In Filter adapter.
You can definitely use the Simga 18-35mm. The R6 has an APS-C mode that I actually love! I was concerned about that at first but I still use this lens on the R6
@@WaywardNorth Have you noticed any quality issues when going into crop mode. It's obviously just using a smaller portion of the sensor so I imagine there is slight drop off.
@@trogdor I haven't thus far but I will keep an eye out for that
Do you use a 70-200 for your ceremony? Or do you find your 135 works well for a shot / reverse shot of the B + G from the sides of the aisle?
The 135mm works well for my ceremony angles, is the 70-200 F2.8L IS something that I would love to have..ABSOLUTELY. Primarily because of the Image Stabilization but honestly with the R6 paired with the 135mm it is like having the 70-200 with IS. Super smooth and clean. But honesty, the 135 looks great and gets the job done and not to mean isn't enormous like the 70-200.
Wayward North So tempting but so $$$. Appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I’m looking at getting the 135 sigma Art because your R6 with sigma glass looks like butter!! Thanks for the help!! Subscribed!!
@@matthewbirks2159 For sure man! I agree, I love the Sigma lineup and the 135 is a good choice! Wouldn't mind having that as well!
Is that color graded video or original footage from r6 ?
The footage you see is color graded for sure!
Hey Jaired! LOVE your reviews and films! Have you ever had any freezing/glitching issues with the R6?
Hey, great questions! I haven't experienced that yet - did that happen to you?
@@WaywardNorth I had the R6 in my B&H cart and then saw Potato Jet say it froze on him a few times right before I checked out and it made me all worried haha. Needed to hear it from a fellow wedding filmmaker! Thanks for all the info on his camera! You also inspired me to start looking at pairing it with a C100mkii! Appreciate you & your videos!
@@TheOliveBungalow Oh no! Well I have been using it religiously since I got it and haven't experienced any freezing as of yet. Fingers crossed I don't. Thank you so much for the kind words, that means so much!
@@WaywardNorth they were videos when it first came out and I'm thinking maybe it was an early bug in some cameras that got fixed with a firmware update? Or maybe he got a dud! lol
@@TheOliveBungalow haha idk! There could be a variety of reasons why that happened but I would just make sure you do some extensive tests with yours and keep that warranty card handy just in case!
Nice video man! Beautiful footage!
Ricardo Dorame Thanks so much!
Hey do you still have custom profiles with the R6
Sir ,
I'm going to buy EOS R6 but I need to inquire one thing about R6 the All-i video format is missing in this model or not?
love the review brother!
Thanks so much brother!
hey 👋🏿 this footage is amazing, but how is the editing process for this camera? I heard it’s a nightmare but I’m hoping that’s not so true bc I’m planning on buying the R6
If you're planning to shoot 4K C-log 10-bit 422 videos from the Canon R6, get ready to use proxies!
@@usmanmajid7837 thanks for the reply and I have some patience lol I don’t mind using proxies
@@TevinFosterDP The other option is to convert the files into something like Apple ProRes. Recording to a Ninja V, for example, can do this straight outta cam. Makes editing way smoother.
@@usmanmajid7837 oh right! I think I might actually go with this option for a smoother workflow
@@TevinFosterDP Yeah smoother. Just be aware that file sizes are huge!
Ok love the colors 😍
Thanks so much!
Wayward North did you use a mist filter here if so which one?
I did! My latest video talks about that here!
ruclips.net/video/5zdiavMTxe8/видео.html
can you do a filming wedding course? im a beginner and would love to grow and make that part of my package!

@@WaywardNorth YAY! So exited!
How did you find the overheating? I heard it's basically resolved at 24fps with the latest firmware.
That’s good to know! I haven’t had this camera overheat on me yet but it has gotten warm when I shoot anything longer than 2 minutes at a time.
I feel like Im getting a lot of IBIS wobble going handheld with the R6....any tips?
What focal length are you at?
@@WaywardNorth 24-35, but primarily at 24.
@@matrimonymedia7770 hmm I have heard that wider focal lengths can have an effect of the IBIS but I thought I read there was an update. Could be wrong. I haven’t noticed much shake at 24mm I’ll test that out.

Any overheating on the eos R6 while shooting vid??
Javit soi Hey, no I didn’t not run into any overheating issues but the camera did get warm a few times.
do r6 has backup record on sd cards
Unfortunately it doesn’t
@@WaywardNorth what about R5
I had the R6 for a week...after my first even in wich the camera overheated from 5 to 5 min I sold it! I use Canon camera for over 15 years but this one is TRASH on the video side. Incredibile AF but that overheating issue breaks the whole camera.
First of all: the footage is very impressive! Second: loved hearing your perspective on this! Really enjoyed the video! 👍🏻
Thanks so much for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Does r6 overheats st 1080p?
What do you think about not having dual card slots? Aren't you scared that something may go wrong
Noam Roth This camera does have dual SD card slots. 🙏🏻
@@WaywardNorth but it doesn't record video to both cards simultaneously :(
@@noamroth5752 basically if you only format in camera .... buy quality cards ... you will be fine. i also rotate new cards in every two years.
@@markarnold8308 I guess you're right. I'm gonna get the r6 next week. Excited
EOS R6 No Dual Card Video Recording, mmm it's a big problem when you are alone with just 1 camera, in an unrepeatable ceremony!
All i miss video
How possible is overheating when filming a wedding. 4K60
I mean it is definitely possible. It all depends on your shooting style, how long you are letting the camera run, how hot the temperature is outside, etc. For me, I am using this camera in 8-10 second increments and even when I do have to push it to a 2-3 minute clip, the camera does fine. I think if you were wanting to do a commercial project/interview etc where the camera would need to be recording for longer than 15 minutes is where you would start to see overheating.
@@WaywardNorth Thanks for this answer, I'm debating on this camera or the Panasonic S5. Have you had any expereince with the S5? What part of NC are you from?
What about the actual wedding ceremony. From the bride walking down the isle, to the ceremony to the exit. Very nervous about purchasing due to the horror stories I've read
@@desertbornproductions I sold my EOS R and went to Sony because it was just the last straw. I can’t be happier.
Overheating???
Hasn’t yet 🤞
