Much better quality Nick, so much so , there was no flickering from the lights and distribution board shots. Everything seems crisp and clear
I thought so to. I immediately noticed the no flickering 👍🏻
Agreed, though the audio seemed flatter (doesn't accent your excitement as much)
Disagree. Camera focus is hunting a great deal more than the GoPro. Great video though and lovely boat. Thanks Nick.
Great tour of a super boat. As for the tech, if you persevere and delve deeper it will pay dividends, but for portability and ease of use you'll rarely find anything to touch the GoPro. The lens on the new setup is better and has less distortion, but output quality - by the time the internet crunches it - is about the same. I suspect that at times when you're super busy with multiple tours and lots of content to edit, then familiarity will beat outright quality. The gimbal. however, is excellent.
I think you are right, that's the conclusion I'm coming to. The new rig is heavy too...
Agreed on the gimbal, but I did find the camera quality indoors to be particularly sweet. Makes the boat look cleaner/brighter in normally darker areas.
Jumping up to 4k would show the real quality of the camera, but I really feel most of the visual quality is already lost in the editing and encoding. The videos are quite mushy, even for 1080p. Low bitrate and/or too fast encoder?
@@petterip RUclips always crushes the bitrate
@@AQUAHOLIC Just like Casey Neistat, you'll need to prepare yourself for having one very large right bicep!
Quality of the camera is positively noticeable. Can't help thinking this would be an excellent boat for you 💐
Can't help agreeing!
@@AQUAHOLIC Sell the house and go for it 😁👌
Love the new "rig" it doesn't fight with the lighting as much. And i never miss your videos. The BBC should give you your own show in the tele
Thank you!
Video is a lot better than the go pro Nick. Wider angle, sharper image, steadier and handles the interior lights much better with no flicker. Not sure if power was on shore or battery but if shore then it's a very good camera
Shore power was indeed on.
@@AQUAHOLIC in the UK with our 50hz and the camera did not flicker once
Kitchen in the aft is a great idea... direct access to the rear lounge area and to the dining area on the other side. What a lovely boat... affordable (as yachts go) yet spacious and modern too. If I had a place to park it, it would make a perfect retirement home for me or folks who love the water.
That is really easy to answer…”You could use any gear! All your videos have been very professional and entertaining! Your speech is always clear and articulate! Overall informative and articulate!” However you did make it incredibly hard to make a decision of which brand to purchase! Toooooo many options, tooooo many brands ( not your fault) Very comprehensive tours and the Meet the Owners with their personal experience’s and views have been wonderful. The people you have met and interviewed have all been amazing and beautiful boats! Thank you and keep up the excellent work! Hope to see you at Monaco!
Thank you very much! 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC Your welcome, but it is all you! I have the easy part! I just watch and am entertained. Myself and many I recommend to watch you avoided mistakes because of your videos. As you know they would have been very costly one’s! Thank you! It is not just the tours, you have never been biased on anything (Princess and Miele!!!!) yet never had a foul word to speak about anything. It is very rare in the world we live in! Keep it up! Down side you make us want to sell and buy another every time I watch! You are feeding the marriage counseling business as well!
I think the quality of your go pro was just fine. And if you find your new rig to be cumbersome or difficult, I don't think your fans are going to mind if you switch back.
Good advice, thanks
No matter what year of launching I absolutely love every single Princess. By the by- the camera work is excellent as always. Didn’t notice much of a difference between your original Go/Pro and the new system.
That's good to know, thanks.
Good quality video does look a slightly better colour.
Now this is my boat just my size and perfect for my family. All I need is a wad.
It’s a very good price as well
Great boat Nick. Worth every penny of £650,000. good camera! Thanks Nick love your channel.
Thanks 👍
I have to say from the first shot, I could instantly tell the increase in camera quality and fidelity, sharper images, more detail, more vibrant colours and the colours match closer to that of real life. I'm glad it has a wide lense on so we still get the wide viewing angles. However I imagine the weight of it must be a pain compared to the go pro. The only minor issues compared to the Go Pro when viewing, is that it seems to me to be a slightly narrower view and Sony is the best in the world at auto focus, which means when you do your pointing it very quickly focuses on your moving hand making the background go out of focus, as it focuses on the hand, it's only for less than a second and isn't an issue for me. But that's it really, White balance is a bit off when you move into the inside, however that was the same with the go pro and without fiddling everytime you go inside and out there isn't much you can do except wait for it's auto settings to sort that out.
Agree completely - the weight is okay for one tour like this, not sure I'd want to do a day at a boat show with it. Also the focus thing, it's great, but it is sensitive to a hand in front. Also find the colours less vibrant (if probably more accurate, to be fair) than a GoPro. Maybe I'll use a combination of the two, GoPro for boat shows, this for individual 'one off' videos.
@@AQUAHOLIC I don't really know about Sony's stuff but is there not a vibrancy etc. settings for the video profile in camera? I wouldn't mind a step or two up if you want the picture to pop just a little bit and I assume you don't edit these videos a whole lot.
Some cameras also allow you to change the auto-focus adjustment speed so it's not so quick to jump on your hand when it comes to the screen for a second.
And last I would stop down the aperture or somehow change the ISO range in video mode or get a magnetic ND filter which you can pop in and out when moving from outside to inside and vice-versa. Whites are quite a bit blown out now when it's sunny.
@@Thezftw All good advice, thank you 🙂
Just gonna add to this as it says pretty much everything I wanted to but couldn’t be bothered to put in my other comment 😂
As for the colours, this camera has much more natural colours and a lot more subtlety. The GoPro looks a bit artificial in comparison, which I think is maybe what you’re noticing - the colours may look vibrant, but it’s because there are actually less of them.
The autofocus is a little distracting, but you could maybe experiment with switching it to manual focus then setting the lens to infinity.
I have to say I wouldn't have noticed a difference in film quality! So if the GoPro is easier/lighter, I think you'd be perfectly fine to stick with what you love. Great boat!
Good to know!
Someone said it in the comment and I was thinking the same. This seems to be the perfect boat for you. The ideal middle beteween SB2 and your nice trips on the big boat wirth the family. ( in the meditarrainian sea if I remeber right). Of course it's to big to name it SB3, more like "Smugglers great Party for everyone and the Police to see" Maybe cabin three as a little office.
I'm not quite sure if the new camera is really better but for me it looked like the picture were a bit steadier ( if this is the right word to choose) and a bit more suited for this kind of reviews. Maybe if you decide for the next review to parachute onto the boat or to jump with a mountainbike from a bridge onto the foredeck you better use the GoPro. But for now it seems to be better with the new system.
As for the new camera - while the image quality seems a bit better, for me the combination of a wider angle with short-range shooting causes a noticeable barrel distortion effect (like a fish-eye). It is particularly apparent when you swivel around, and may cause a bit of motion sickness after a while... If we're keeping score - I vote for the old go-pro.
Anyway - always great to see new videos from you Nick!
Many thanks!
Hey Nick I do love Princess yachts and this one screams quality from the first shot so maybe that's the new camera which is obviously better but that's not why we watch your videos, you are the reason and I hope you made some videos of your Irish trip because we really enjoyed the last ones have a great Sunday bud
I like the new camere quality. Feels like it has more fps and there was no light flickering.Great!
This Princess has rooms : kitchen, living room and bedrooms and it is 2 bedrooms home because it has huge outside sittings. It has not got sliding roof, sanbed at the stern, crew cabin , but layout is optimal. Big storage, 2 different company can seat at the flybridge . Very practical engineereng, all clean inside. Very good example because another Princess was 850k I think and less advantages . Flour colour is - .
Despite the disadvantages it should be bought.
Very spacious for a 52, excellent woodwork, although I would prefer a lighter satin finish wood. I like the new camera setup, image quality seems slightly better, but the gimbal mount stabilisation definitely makes the camera motion smother and more comfortable to watch. Great tour as always.
love the new rig! not that your prior videos aren't already terrific, but the different lens makes it a lot less fish eye-y than the gopro setup and it really goes a long way in making better judgments of the dimensions
I am not a camera expert but for a minute I shall be; the quality deserves positive merits when compared to the gopro the colours are far deeper. I have noticed this camera takes a couple of seconds to focus on certain bright lights but it’s not noticeable unless mentioned! The gimbal must be great fun but I could imagine weight could be an issue. The gopro had suited many needs over the years however. Either way amazing tour of a fantastic boat thanks Nick. :)
Love everything about this model, the wood choice,headliner,cabin size and layout!
Oh and the quality of the new camera is very noticeable!
Thank you very much!
Hi Nick. So happy you leave the edits in. A super princess for the money, 3 cabins with full size master. Explained fuel economy at lower speeds. A decent flybridge, owner operated. It could be yours Awesome walkthrough tour thanks 😊 maybe a struggle with new equipment in/out engine space and crew qtrs. All videos are fantastic
This boat is the complete package for me. I would definitely put a crew cabin in that storage place in the back
Good ol 2015, I was working at Salvation Army from 2012 to 2017 and raising my youngest son as a single parent and tough financial times, amazing I think 2015, nice boat, I was lucky we even owned a used car then, Montene Rose Daniel
Your videos make me want to buy a boat!
Yes, the picture quality is noticeably better, GoPros are good action cameras, but just as with displacement, with lenses you just cant replace size 🙂
A 2015 52 was just purchased this year and lives on our big river system. Its quite the machine for our river, and by far the largest boat you see out there. I searched your content for a tour of one only a week or so ago so this is fantastic timing.
Great review as always Nick. As to your big question. Like the new tech. Give it time, and you could always swap for the smaller spaces to the GoPro for ease and manoeuvrability.. Then possibly do a side by side video review at the same time to compare. 🥴 now that would be mind blowing stuff.🤣😂😎✌🏻🏴☠️ Good luck 🤞🏻
Thanks!
Great review as always Nick.
In terms of the camera setup - if I'm brutally honest I don't think I'd have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it (given that I'm watching RUclips on a laptop (and given your previous vids are excellent anyway)). Yes after reading some comments I do see differences in perspective, depth of field, contrast, colour definition etc.
I've been doing (self-taught) photography for my wife's online shop for years, I've studied a lot and as a non-professional get good results, BUT the one thing I noticed is; when I stepped up to an expensive 'professional quality' setup it did not give me the immediate 'wow-factor' or step up in quality that I expected! Rather I had to work FAR harder to achieve the improved quality the more expensive equipment was capable of. I guess that's why professionals are professionals! Things like go-pros are very forgiving with all the compensatory/point and shoot features, and I think professional setups can often be far less forgiving as you really need to know your stuff and do more prep. In my situation the jury's still out - I can definitely get better results from the professional setup BUT I find it a lot harder and more time consuming so often go back to the previous setup for convenience.
I don't historically see many (if any) comments complaining about the quality of your vids Nick (maybe other than flickering screens and lights) - but on the other hand, if you look at the other boating channels that employ professionals to do the filming you do actually see lots of grumbles around the fact that filming and artistic licence can often detract from the practical content.
I guess it's a fine balance, and if you've got the time to get to grips with a new setup then great, but don't bust your balls because I'm guessing that if you gave your subscribers the choice of (a) better quality video or (b) more content (see trials, meet the owners, entry level tips etc.) then I'd be pretty sure than most people would choose the later. Cheers!
The camera gear is 100% noticeable for the better, just looks a lot cleaner and smoother, possibly takes you to a whole new level👍👍👍
Please can you show us the shower pressure in a boat tour one day? I'm always curious how good the showers are, especially on boats with multiple bathrooms. Must be some boiler system!
In a quality boat like a Princess, they are really good!
Have you tried showering on a boat that's under way? That's an experience, chasing the shower stream around the bathroom lol
@@tedtheturbot its like in normal shower in home
@@janpagac3223 well the water still falls down, but not necessarily in the same place lol, mate i was following the water around all over the place
Depends on the boats pump. A simple pump with pressure tank usually kicks in at 2,2bar and stops at 2,8bar. Just like in a house. Flow is sufficient for at least 3 taps or shower at the same time.
I honestly did not notice you were filming with a new camera until the mirror reveal. Although I did feel a little fish-eye effect and a little motion sickness while the camera was panning. A larger camera with a gimbal is also a bit cumbersome and difficult while filming tight spaces. The GoPro you use to shoot does a great job in my opinion, where the picture quality and the overall steadiness isn't affected. Also, with the new rig, you now have to charge two devices, the camera and the gimbal. But in the end, what matters most is the ease of use and your comfort. I wouldn't switch if the difference is a mere 5%. Great video as always Nick. Thanks~! :)
One thing i noticed at college yrs ago, someone can have the latest camera gear and not have an eye for photography. You do great with both. Someone else already said it, but it does seem a tighter angle on the lens which makes spaces feel smaller when your showing us the cabins.
Really lovely yacht that is surprisingly spacious for it's length. With either camera, still the most enjoyable and thorough yacht reviews on RUclips. Did note the movement around the vessel is quite smooth with this camera. Making it easy on the eye.
Yes, we have been watching Nick 😎
I think you've always had a quiet steady hand filming, but the fancy new camera with motion steadying gimbals should help you.
What a lovely boat. Surprisingly roomy for a 52 footer. Always taken by the designers fitting so much into a limited cubic foot space.
Another well documented boat tour Nick. Just a joy to watch man!
WELL DONE!
Honestly Nick I didn't really notice a difference, all of your videos are ace quality. Nice family yacht for relaxed cruising and outstanding outdoor areas, that fly bridge is a stunner. Great tour Nick and don't think I didn't notice your socks matched your shirt. Well played Mr Burnham, well played.
Much appreciated!
“Well proportioned” is a great descriptor for this boat. Thanks for the tour, Nick!
I didn't notice a huge jump in quality but to be honest its not the gear, its the content and the way you do the tours that are the attraction. You really are a master at using a simple go pro set up . The best boat tour channel on you tube bar none. You could film on an old Nokia phone for all I care LOL . One thing that would help is a radio mic on the owner in the the " meet the owners" videos . Then you could move the camera a bit more without losing their sound . Apart form that ? Nothing needs changing Nick !!
Awesome, thank you! 🙂
beautiful princess, great price. love that fridge on the fly helm. thanks for showing us this nick, cheers!
Watched it again and I think we'll add this to our wish list as we won't be too long .. another year or so 😁👍
Not sure I want to buy a haunted boat! :D Love the new camera. Keep up the good work! I get to live vicariously through you! :D
Glad you like them! 🙂
The film Ghost ship...😱
@@AQUAHOLIC Might want to dial back the brightness/ISO a notch or two. Some of the shots were a bit overexposed, interior shots were a noticeable improvement over the GoPro though.
Thanks Nick, great tour of this beautiful Princess, well proportioned and lovingly looked after, its a great example...it doesn't show its age, looks as good as new!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Amazing boats Princess filled with all you could want excellent video & the camera is excellent better than go pro.
Excellent review.
I use a GoPro with gimbal setup. I think that would be most ideal for you. It's more compact and lighter...which helps in cramped filming spaces and all day shoots like you probably deal with. Quality is near the same at 4k and after RUclips processing.
Blimey Nick. That’s a massive amount of boat for the money. It’s made me think about depreciation. It’s in brilliant Nick so as to speak. See what I did there? Great video. Loving the new kit. Gimbal is a great word.
Thank you for another EXCELLENT yacht tour!!! You "hands down" provide the BEST yacht tours of any RUclipsr!
I really appreciate these tours of late model, lightly used boats at an affordable price. $500K to $1M is affordable for many of us, where $5M+ is limited to only the wealthiest individuals.
I do like video from your new camera rig. Either way, please post videos at 4K/60 so we can enjoy smoother, higher-res video.
Thanks again for all or your hard work providing this excellent content!
Nick - this video seamed a bit heavy - but well balanced. Advantage of GoPro - small, light weight, no settings to mess with, fits in a pocket, not intimidating to those around. Sometimes the newest greatest is simply a fresh coat of paint and a hike in price. Just me...
The boat is beautiful, well kept and even the washer-dryer still has the delivery tag on it. Very well laid out. A retired person or couple could live the life of a Princess very comfortably on this beauty - with room to spare. Thanks - and best of luck with your "equipment".
Thank you! 😄
Hello Nick.
I mostly watch RUclips on my phone.
For me, it makes no difference whether the film is filmed with a phone, a gopro, a camera or professional equipment.
I just moved from a rented town house to a rented farm in the country.
right now i have no internet
only a bad mobile connection.
but in a week I will get fast fiber internet again and can watch RUclips on my TV again.
I can see many RUclipsrs have the right camera they film with.
Nice big and spacious yacht
as always with Princess.
Yes. The camera is better. Lovely boat that. Does the ghost come as an option?
It's free in the price with this one! 😄
Camera quality is excellent, better than the go pro, slightly less wide angle so you will need to shoot some stuff from slightly further away?
What a great boat, held its own over the years in terms of design and layout
The new camera is so much better! Faster to adjust exposure, wider angle, no LEDs flickering. Keep it!
YOU ARE A CHAMP, regardless of the tech you use! Thanks for the video. Awesome boat...
I appreciate that!
Many thanks to Nick, another great video, I always enjoy seeing your videos, the Camera is a real plus,
Francis
Looks amazing for its age. She has obviously been loved by her owners. Even the washing machine looks brand-new, although I am sure it is way out of its warranty. The camera looks great, Nick. Although I think you have gone back to using the GoPro now. They are a lot smaller and lighter to carry around. 👍
I have indeed, it just works better for me.
Perfect live aboard boat,so much room,if I had the chance to buy it,I would change the toilets to incinerator loos,no need to empty out any tanks ,just tip the sterile ash out on the grass somewhere,or overboard if out if port somewhere.
Before you even mentioned the new camera I thought "Wow this video looks amazing!" Keep it!
Camera is quality Nick, much better than a GoPro stick with it, also loved Marianne’s snippet video a couple of days ago. Keep up the good work would love to see some of the new Bering yachts on the channel at some point
Nick, with regard the gimble, you nailed your yacht tours completely by 2019 which is why you have nearly half a million subs now. I didn't notice the difference at all but I say that only because you asked for feedback. If I ever manage to afford a yacht, one from 2015 would be just fine by me, this is a beauty.
That's helpful, thank you
Love the new camera rig. Yeah it’s bigger, but the quality is better and the reduction of shake with the gimbal is terrific!!!
Significant improvement in the quality of the pictures and the stability of them, there was nothing much wrong with the GoPro footage of the many hundreds of reviews I have enjoyed, thank you!
But you can improve on near perfection and you’ve done it. I have a similar gimbal and you can do quite amazing things with it. Thanks for everything, Peter
For a 7 yr old yacht it’s in great nick , no pun intended. I thought at the beginning of the vid , has Nick changed his trusty old GoPro. It’s a different class . Great video as always.
Interesting, thanks!
So I like the new camera - it seems to give a wider view… lovely yacht
The new camera gives a nice depth and makes the colors more vibrant. Very good choice and excellent video as usual 🙂
Thank you very much!
It seems that the new camera has a much better picture quality. I haven't really analyzed the quality in detail, that us just my first impression. I noticed the most difference below deck. The gloss Walnut seemed to "pop".
Anyway, back to the boat. It, as with all Princess yachts, it was very nice. I think the quality really shows 5 to 10 years down the road. When many 2015 boats are showing their age, Princess are still going strong. Of course, proper maintenance has a big impact on longevity.
I was impressed with the engine room. For a 50 something boat thexspace was amazing.
This boat would make the top of my list. Beautiful.
Awesome as usual buddy, new camera is ace, think it's more steady, love it when you do theses types of boats! Thanks again pal ❤️
I concur the image is noticeably sharper, an improvement I think Nick. Good tour as usual.
Perfect family boat at a great price. That's a lot of boat for the money. So pleased you've started to tell us the range at displacement speeds as it's definitely a thing to want to know.
Gorgeous boat, I can keep dreaming.
I did like that camera rig I think it makes the camera angles more aligned with everything else
Camera doing its job really well. Beautiful boat. :)
I like your new camera 📷
Thank you!
Awesome Yacht. Princess fleet has always been of excellence.
The lighting, particularly inside, looked way better; more natural, less artificial. Helps to try it out on a nicely illuminated boat, for sure. But, outside, it did look a touch washed out. No idea how much color correction you apply, but maybe a touch on the more-contrast-y side, when outdoors, would help?
Love the new camera, this boat is beautifully designed and so spacious, but definitely needs a hard top for the UK weather, and solar panels to run the household offshore.. I think the crew cabin would be better used as a workshop and parts storage, it could easily become a disorganised dump room as it is.
Early days - but that love / hate relationship you're working through with the new camera setup - Classic !!! 🤣🤣👍👍
love the boat and the camera rig much better clarity
Hi Nick, camera image and stability is so much better. It is just getting used to. Please keep this setup.
You look super sharp with this new camera, Nick! Also, the sound sounds better in my opinion.
New camera is great👍
Sorry for a second comment on the camera but I love your tours and this camera feels like you’re walking around with binoculars. I want to feel like I’m there with you like I do with the go pro. Go Pro is less vertigo and more overhead as well - seriously love your yours. They are the best on You Tube.
Your videos are the best in boating regardless of rig. I’d say color and field of view is better with the new one, but you do notice auto focus on ladder vs generator. It’s good that you don’t edit out the mistakes, all been there, but you seemed to have a lot on this one. ;-)
It's the first one I've filmed for a month!
Painful reminder of my brief career as an elevator operator. Was sacked for forgetting the route on my return from holidays.
Love the new cam setup vs the Ho-pro ✌️
Camera is looking good Nick, Stay With it! Much better inside footage, less noise! Also, ND filter could help when outside on a sunny day... The boat was nice, can see this as smugglers 3....
Thank you!
You were in fine form today. Ireland must have been restful for you. I am glad you did not edit out anything; it was a hoot listening to you. Another outstanding video.
The camera performs well. You're probably very used to the GoPro, its settings, and what you need to do to get the best out of it. Give it time, I'm sure you'll get comfortable with the new camera and end up loving it just as much.
Love this boat and your new rig! Tip: tuck the cable before attaching through your button up shirt.Then it can’t get caught or in the way :)
Great boat, obviously very well looked after by her owners.
The new camera is a definite improvement on the go pro. It's a much sharper and brighter picture that reveals more details in low light shots like the heads and the engine room.
Fabulous tour as always Nick, keep doing what you're doing. We love it 👍
The sharpness from the new camera and smoothness from the gimbal was immediately noticeable. It felt particularly nice when focusing on certain details more close-up I find.
I think that's probably all the boat you would ever need Nick. Looks great value too.
Big enough to host guests, small enough to find a mooring....beautifully finished inside (quality always shines through).
The camera is a huge and very noticeable improvement over a GoPro, but I guess you pay for that in bulk. The zoom wasn't very strong (unless you didn't use it to its fullest extent) .
Great tour Nick, a proper, elegant Motor Cruiser.
It was a 10-20 lens, so not much zoom capacity
@@AQUAHOLIC that would explain it
This is about 10 x better quality than the GoPro Nick
- love your work mate
Many thanks! 🙂
Very nice camera set up for a very nice boat!
Camera quality is excellent. I think if you twisted my arm I could own this one.
Doesn't matter what camera you hold Nick, we'll follow you regardless. Thank you for what you do.
You're very kind, it's a pleasure! 🙂
Thanks for the tour. It's appreciated as always. I DO like that camera. To my eye it is an improvement over the GoPro. The video seems a bit more steady. But those GoPros are really good as well. No complaints either way. Good luck with your new toy. Cheers.
Great presentation as usual fantastic looking vessel very envious great locations
Thank you very much!
This was Way too funny. I was thinking earlier today that I have not watched a Aquaholic video in a little while. Now my day is complete. Thanks Nick! Hope to meet you someday in Miami.
Nice boat, and the new rig looks great. Excellent stability and clarity.
Thank you very much!
Thanks Nick! Seems like the new camera is clearer than usual...
