Great video. It brings me back to the good old days on RUclips, when people where just sharing their knowledge and experience without any additional stuff or trying to catch our attention - sell something. Thank you again.
Appreciate your video Joel! Always great information and I've filmed a few of the people you have in your last video. Thanks for the great content and for sharing your knowledge with us. I just ordered the mini spotlight, do you know if they make additional gobos or if you can custom make them?
Glad to see I'm not the only one doing the awkward semi-twerk shuffle in between the camera, the doorway and the key light. 😂 Honestly I would feel uneasy with all those flimsy light stands, since most talents tend to bump into something at least once. Luckily my jobs rarely include travel, so I can keep using the beefier setups. Still an impressively small collection of gear that you pieced together there!
I love how you moved those blinds out of the way to show how ginormous your backyard is, such a flex 😆 j/k :) But seriously, I love these inflateable lights. I have been using six Ulanzi 20w and four Ulanzi 12w inflatables with travel light stands and it all fits in my backpack for travel. Crazy compared to just how impossible this would have been just a year or so ago 👍
Love the ingenuity and lightweight setup. Couple cool things I got recently I recommend you look at are the lightbank mito air and the glow ezlock wing-like. Both great for light weight setups and packing like this. Love your video man!
@ yeah the glow wing-like is an interesting umbrella as it has a arch shape more than a traditional round shape. Meaning you can angle it throw a light diffusion on it and Velcro or use small clips and you have a super light book light by attaching a cartellini and light just below on the stand
Great video…. Where did you get the fill in “dummy” ? this would be great practice for beginners…. who can’t get subjects to help practice their cinematography
Great video Joel, always love seeing ultra compact kits like this as they are so handy for plane travel or even running around a city doing interviews. I need to do an update video but I've actually been using the Zhuyin B300 and B200 lights and paired with an umbrella they can be a really compact set up, especially the B200. Both pack quite a punch. P.S have you ever been questioned about your backpack being that large as a secondary carry on bag? I've had a few arguments at airports with staff about the size of backpacks.
Love it! I have a bad back and hauling C Stands around is killing me. I do wonder what f/stop and ISO you had to shoot at to get a good exposure. I am thinking of getting an m43 GH5 as a C Cam and am trying to avoid going over ISO 800 on it because m43 cameras do tend to be a bit noisy.
I feel you! My camera settings on the FX3 in this video were - Native 800 ISO | F2.0 | Shutter 1/48 | ND 2 Stops | 24 fps. Thanks so much for watching!
That DIY diffuser is so clever. You should patent it and make a deal with some of this companies like SmallRig that are making this collaborations with creators to market their ideas! I wonder how many Watts of output does the lights give? You used the Nd filter?
Thanks so much! That's a great idea. Would love to do a collaboration. The key light has about a 40w draw (20w each tube) Honestly, though it feels much brighter to me. Being able to expose for windows it felt more like a 200w almost. I was using about 2-3 stops on ND on the FX3 Thanks so much for watching!
I agree! But you wouldn't be able to fit that into a carry on roller bag. two bowens light reflectors alone would take up the majority on the roller bag i'm using. You would need bigger light stands as well. So maybe 2-3 pelican cases. But I agree! I do love the LightBank modifiers. They are amazing!
Dont wanna tell you what to do, but you have really interesting thoughts and solutions to problems I haven't seen a ton of videographer RUclipsrs have covered, the one thing that would make me appreciate your channel more is if you bumped up the production value. Just my two cents, nice work!
I have a similar set up for travel and use the head from a SmallRig AD100 combined with in ifootage TC5 tripod which can fit in a carry on. Done a video about it. It's not the best tripod head in the world but surprisingly smooth for the price and size. Works nicely with the FX3. You could always leave the matte box at home and fit that in the bag instead if you were tight for space.
@@alienwisconsin this is true! I always prefer watching longer videos personally. I can scrub through it and find the parts that I want to watch. To each their own though! Thanks for watching!

the inflatable makes a lot of sense. thanks for posting this
Really compact setup! Thanks for sharing!
This is a super helpful video for anyone who does travel work - definitely a crazy compact setup!
Thanks bro! Always trying to make things easier when traveling. So hopefully this will work out great for future shoots.
wow light stand is so good
Thank for sharing your experience with compact light kits. I've been eyeballing some inflatables and this gave me some good ideas.
Thank you for sharing this, it was very helpful to me.
Çok kullanışlı ve işleri zora sokmayacak bir set. Bilgilendirici paylaşımın için teşekkürler.

I dig the longer form videos, and also appreciate the new lighting finds you've been sharing! the lightweight and inflatable gear is great
I appreciate that! I am loving the lightweight and inflatable gear, too!

I appreciate all this information. I'm always looking for ways to shrink my setup to be as portable as possible. Thanks!
Yeah, trying to keep things as lightweight as possible for travel is a constant struggle! Thanks for watching!

@@Filmgoblin that’s awesome!!! I love the lightbank stuff! I will look into the glow ezlock. Thanks for watching!

С зажимами хоро придумал, спасибо

2 Powerful COB on a Bag + 2 Inflatable LightBank would be more effective. But this is a nice kit.

I'm a minimalist myself so this is great. Is the projector mini compatible with other round gobos? I have been on nthe edge about buying it.

I agree! This is my long term goal for sure. Thanks for watching!
Почти с таким же хожу
what if you need to operate the camera on the tripod ? your subject moves around a bit ..

Nice try, but where's the compartment for full turkey dinner? Hard pass
@@Z-Rollz haha! That will be in version 2.0
This video would be so much better if it was 10 minutes.

@@JoelGabrielsennah I appreciate the detail. I do a ton of travel myself so always looking for new tips and tricks.
You can watch it at 2x speed :)
