Peak design cuff and clutch are very recommendable if you're tired of a neck strap (clutch has the better support for a heavier camera)! Been using them for a couple of years, really comfortable in my opinion :)
My first thought on grabbing/hand below was a resounding "NO!" But you make a good point on being able to tuck in that elbow. Stability is a good thing, especially at low light and/or lower shutter speeds. As far as bumping into others... I just glare at them if they come near me.😅 I love my R5!
I shoot concerts a lot in crowds and I shoot grip up. If it's too crowded around me at a particular moment I bring my elbow in close. My wrist is at more of an angle and I switch my shutter finger to my middle finger which is way more comfy elbow in.
Great video ☺️✌🏽 Gonna try that af joystick setting, I’ve been using face detection mostly and when that fails switching to center group af. I have however been using the cf b card as my main and Sd as backup because the upload speeds to my computer are the fastest I’ve ever seen, my only complaint there is the card and card reader so get quite hot.
The problem with the Peak Design strap is that it can activate the touch screen of the R5 And R6 which is annoying cause sometimes it moves the focal point or activates something on the screen menu when using it wrapped around a hand.I suggest to just buy the set that can attach to the original canon strap.
Really? I'll have to test that out, I've never noticed it happen but good to be aware of. I agree that it's the clips that are more useful than their specific strap
The Canon R5 is an amazing camera. I'd say it's my dream camera at this point. I've bought Sony A7IV a few months back. It does a great job and is very portable with the Sigma 28-70 lens. But when I saw images that someone took of our Halloween party with the Canon was blown away. How heavy is the R5 with the 24-70 lens? That's the combo I'd get. Also, do you have any experience shooting with the Sony. I know that's 33 vs 45 megapixels comparison. A little unfair but do you think that spending about double the money on the Canon is worth it?
Much appreciate these great tips, especially coming from a former 5D user. Could I ask a quick question re your 24-70mm f/2.8? You mention that you continue with it, despite it being not quite as sharp as the similar RF version. I have also heard other pros say that the RF is better, but not by much. Here's the Q: I have the Canon 24-70 mm f/4 L. I am considering whether to upgrade to the f/2.8. I like the lighter weight of the f/4, but if I knew I could see a significant difference in image quality, I carry that extra weight. I do love good image quality. I shoot flowers and landscape a lot, and edit on a good, calibrated monitor. I have a 5D4 and may get an R5. Have you had occasion to use the 24-70mm f/4? Do you have an opinion on this? I plan also to go to the camera store, take a bouquet with me, and using an f/2.8, shoot a couple of dozen shots of it at various apertures, and a few out the door of the shop also, and do exactly the same shots with my f/4, and study the results at home. Thanks for any insight you may be able to offer!
Since switching to heif it seems computer systems still don't have software updates to view them as easily as jpeg. Any tips on viewing and processing the heif files and possibly converting them to jpeg?
Yeah my heif images look fine on camera but a couple stops darker than my jpegs when importing to my Mac. If I shoot either I wanna be able to use the images straight out of camera and can’t really do that with the heif for now. Would be curious to know Tyler’s heif workflow…
@tylerstalman. Tyler. Thank you for this. Now that you have had time w/ both R5 and R6 and the series of firmware updates, is the R5 today worth the extra $1200 for higher IQ and deeper Video capabilities?
Another reason some argue for the R6 is it supposedly doesn't have the overheating issues, which is part of what swayed me. But multiples times now when I'm recording with my 2 R6s (same settings and all) one consistently shuts down from overheating but the other doesn't. It's the most bizarre thing. So if you think that and R6 won't overheat, don't bank on that.
@@allisonfreed I rented a R6 when I was down a body and was shocked that it would overheat on me! It isn’t like the R5 where I was able to switch modes to stop the overheating.
Hey bro what’s the best cheaper alternative to R5 I need something that’s good for pics and RUclips video with auto focus and and good battery pls help
Yes, when the autofocus is having trouble I click the joystick and the focus point instantly goes to the center of the screen and I can then put the point on what I want to focus on, works perfectly for people and animals.
thanks for the tips , but i have question regarding jpeg IQ , i find the 5D mark 4 jpegs having better details than the R5 ( using the same L lens with the R5 using adaptor ), BUT RAW looks better in R5 . . . ( i shooot both RAW+jpeg at the same time ) . . . for client work YES i use RAW but for everyday use i find the r5 worse than the 5D4 . . any settings recommendation ? many thanks
When I see your Meike adapter it gets me so mad about Breakthrough Filters again...it's been nearly two (!) full years I'm waiting on my preordered drop-in-filter adapter from them and all they do is apologize once every solar eclipse for all their trouble, small company and all that...
Couldn't imagine having an issue with a SD card and having to rely on a backup of a medium JPEG over a second RAW file. May be usable for some things, definitely not anything with darks & brights though.
I have always been opposed to the "Grip Down" method for vertical shooting. Your hand does not fit the camera that way. Holding the camera horizontally your fingers, thumb, and palm fall right into place. Your finger is on the shutter button and your thumb is resting in its grippy trough just waiting to press any of the buttons surrounding it or either of the dials. Rotate the grip up to vertical and NOTHING changes. Perfect hand/finger/thumb placement remain and you are securely holding your baby. Do the same but rotate the grip down and you have to completely reposition your grip, Your hand no longer fits the camera and you are really only holding it wellish between your thumb and 2 fingers on that hand and you HAVE to use your other hand for support to do the rotation. Going grip up you can go horizontal to vertical instantly one-handed.
The bad of the camera is the ridicul@us expensive price, that's why Canon DSLR move to Sony Cameras. You have a lots of options on A7xxx and lenses.. I never return to Canon. RIP.
Great tips!
Heif files, copyright info, and joystick focus point are three things I'm changing asap
The title says, "How to Use the Canon R5 for Photography." Whew! I was going to use it as a can opener. DING DONG!
😂😂😂😂😂😂

I use the clutch on a daily basis and the strap when I have a telephoto on
I have used 5D like forever, now as you well said have moved on to R5C . Beast of a photo camera and video camera.
Switching from the 5DMKIV to an R5 this week, looking forward to getting it. Nice tips here, thank you!
I shot with the Mark IV a long time. I was so stubborn about switching but I couldn’t imagine going back. The AF is amazing
Gosh, your videos are so good, helpful, and unbelievably appealing to the eye to watch. Thanks so much, Tyler!
Thank you for the tips, just set my R5 with most of these settings!
Awesome review. I’m subscribing 🤟🏾
Thanks for the information of the canon r5
thanks for the video, it was a good one and just what I needed.
Nice video Tyler!! I love my R5 it’s been so good to me for the last year. Keep up the great videos and the podcast buddy!!

I love my R5!
The first time someone suggested it to me was a in a super aggressive RUclips comment, so I ignored them 😂 but turns out its a useful way to shoot

oh damn i had no idea i could use it for photography, i was using it till now to hammer nails and yeet it at people, thanks for opening my eyes
I can’t believe you was in London and I didn’t know! And right in my area too! Glad you could check out Gods own Junkyard, it’s a pretty nifty place!
Always wanted to do the joystick so instanly changed for photo and video! Appectie the tips!
Great video ☺️✌🏽

For me it’s worth it but depends what you do. If you’re work doesn’t require the extra megapixels and 4K options, the R6 could get most of it done
@@stalman thank you

Thanks for the joystick tip! I switched from a 7d mark ii and I’ve been lost without my joystick focus points 😅
Yes, when the autofocus is having trouble I click the joystick and the focus point instantly goes to the center of the screen and I can then put the point on what I want to focus on, works perfectly for people and animals.

To be honest I haven’t used my mkIV since getting the R5, and haven’t shot much jpeg on either. Not sure I can be much help
Great Video! Is it worth it now in 2024? I can get it used for 99 Euros. That is why I ask you, many greetings from Germany!
Dude has always been a major Canon Fanboy

So good Tyler. Very useful!!!! Thanks. When are you going to get any courses up?
New sub! Liked 🙏👍✌️
Thanks! Cool tips ✌🏻
00:15 Did you Film with 120fps and 100fps? Think the 120fps has always flicker.
Couldn't imagine having an issue with a SD card and having to rely on a backup of a medium JPEG over a second RAW file. May be usable for some things, definitely not anything with darks & brights though.

Going grip up you can go horizontal to vertical instantly one-handed.
Which lens do you use
Could you do one for video?
I know that Brandon Washington is working on one
@@stalman Thank you :)
Did you have to set up a special time to get into Gods Own Junkyard and use a DSLR? Their site says no go :(
Does the adapter create a crop factor for the lens?
Nope, no crop
Would be nice if you go straight to the point.
The bad of the camera is the ridicul@us expensive price, that's why Canon DSLR move to Sony Cameras. You have a lots of options on A7xxx and lenses.. I never return to Canon. RIP.
Thanks for nothing i still cant take a picture, only videos....
Half of the video about sponsors 🙄
Masterworks just seems so wack tbh
What computer do you use to edit your RAW files and more importantly the 8K video?
