    When you do groups do you use single focus point or group focus points? Does it matter as long as we get a solid set focus?

    Watching this made me not want to get into family portraits even though I've been asked. Yikes, that and Weddings are too much work.

    how do you get sharp shots, if the brakes on the wheels are off?, wouldn't the tripod move all the time?

    Why use that tether system when the camera has a great wifi system for tethering? The files are transferred just as fast without lose of quality.. CR3 files are transferred to the computer...

    I was under the impression that when using a tripod, you should extend the larger leg sections first and always use any leg sections before raising and using a center column to maximize the stability which is why you use a tripod in the first place. Otherwise a great video!

    If you are referring to the studio portion of the clip, it doesn’t matter. All light is provided by the studio flashes, which operate at ~ 1/ 20.000 sec. It will be very difficult to produce some motion blur in these cases. With respect to moody low-light landscape shots, you are absolutely correct.

    I think, family photography cannot be advised to serious photographer. :)
