    Great tips, thanks for this, very helpful as I figure out what the hell I'm doing. I'm outdoor filming on a GoPro for the most part, but use a Canon DSLR for segments speaking to the camera, but only if it's set up on a tripod. My lowest lens is 18 to 55mm, so it's too zoomed in (and not wide) at 18mm to hold the camera and talk, even with a handheld tripod (my head fills the whole frame). Next on the gear list is a lower and wide lens. Great tips all around, thanks!

    Great and inspiring! Thanks for this. Will try to use the tips for my future family vlogs. One question: do you always dial in your exposure and white balance manually for every shot? I have been doing this lately, but some times find that I dont bother with a shot I should get. In a strange way I kind of miss my iPhone shooting days. Way worse quality, but looking back I got so much detail and variety because it was so fast to shoot. Your thoughts, tips and opinion on this would be highly appreciated😊

  • @dunnadidit

    Glad to hear it was helpful! I do personally try to always set up my exposure and WB manually, but thats not always necessary... I'm just a bit picky about that stuff. And on top of that. I can be a bit loose about it if it means getting the shot. For the most part, if I'm outside, I'll set the WB to daylight and just go for it, even if the light is changing on me a bit throughout. But if the situation calls for auto mode, I say go for it if it's going to mean getting the shot!

    @@dunnadidit Thank you for such a quick and detailed reply! It does get addicting to set it up right. I do film my 3 year old a lot, and love to be able to «get it right» everytime, but I think your point about going for it is great, because the shot is the most important sometimes. Then again, I do like the process of getting as fast as possible on getting the settings right. Its a balance I guess.
