The MKE 600 is my sweet spot for a boom mic - best trade-off between quality and $$$ and B&H wrapped it up in a neat kit! And it plugs directly into my FX3 XLR port… but I use Zoom F8n to get the mic closer to my talent and sync it up in post.

Liking this video solely on the mic choice 😂 before being a videographer, I was a musician and sound guy and my mic of choice was ALWAYS a Sennheiser

Sound is one of the most underrated gear investment. Everyone worries about camera sensors and frame rates but a great mic will add so much more production value to your projects. I am now a Sennheiser guy moving forward!

Great video mate! Love your natural vlogging style. Keep them coming!

Thanks man!! Definitely something out of my comfort zone so the fact you think it’s natural is a huge compliment!

Great vlog Stolis! Just came across your channel, love seeing how a freelancer makes it in NY. That setup was very clean and now you got me looking at a directors monitor

I literally have my bh cart open right now to purchase a large monitor for an upcoming shoot. Currently looking at megamon 15 (it’s on sale for $720) but it doesn’t have the multi view like yours! Would you recommend it?

@@davidmorefield I recommend it but I had to rig the monitor with a hdmi splitter that has the multi view. It’s cheap on Amazon. It’s a cheap workaround to spending a few extra hundred for that feature.

Use a sandbag to hold the door open. Dope video man! I have a couple of those slr magics they have a nice character .

Great idea! I have a bunch of sandbags and keep forgetting them in the truck lol. Question: do you find the SLR magic lens to be a bit soft?

@@Stolishadji I have the 25 1.5 & 50 1.2 and run them on a fs5ii/shogun. I think the 25 gets softer past 2.8ish and even starts to look wonky at times. Depends on the light. But I can get some sharp images I think around f4. The 50 stays sharper at the wider stops I think. Running the 50 wide open at night gets some nice footage. I prefer the 50 over the 25. Tube light glares look terrible on them. But for the price they’re a great purchase.

Great vlog! just came across your channel, Keep it up!

you're using a FS7 as your main camera?
