Exceptional idea ..... but ..... this does not give you two seperate channels , for every single Hollyland Lark M2 tranmitter/Mic ..... Try repeating the exact same principle by using a ZOOM F1 essential (even cheaper , around 80$ for a USED one in great condition) with the exact same cable going to the line in of the Zoom F1 essential. Then you will get 32bit float on two seperate channels. :) Thank you for your video.

great video. for the shots around the 14 min mark, shot at 16mm and iso 100, what shutter speed and aperture do you use? and on a tripod?
@AtomicPixel Жыл бұрын
Thx friend! I typically have my shutter between f5.6 to f8 depending on the depth of the room, but I don’t think it would matter much and then the shutter speed would be dictated by the amount of light in that room. Since I’m on a tripod, I just keep lowering the shutter until my exposure meter is a touch over zero. I find with Fuji, things look better reducing the highlights a touch rather than increasing shadows too much. Which is opposite from other systems like Nikon, which I started with. That system was better to underexpose and crank the shadows. You’ll have to test and see what you prefer. Hope that helps! :)

@@don7117 I had an xh1 - been debating adding it back to the stable. And ohhh, ok. So the main advantage of the mechanical shutter is less rolling shutter distortion.

I was thinking at the start “dang this videographer is outgoing around strangers” then I read the description. Thank God you knew them because there’s no way I could be this extroverted at an ordinary wedding gig.
Hahaha true. But, I still get in there to get messages from fam and friends for my regular couples. People are shy in front of the camera so I try to get them talking for the memories :) You’re a wedding videographer too?
@@AtomicPixel oh yea I do too. But I ain’t talking to them like we’ve been besties for 20 years. I need your social skills 😅
Hahah. Just have a couple drinks and you’ll be fiiiiiine
@@AtomicPixel 😂😂😂
great video. for the shots around the 14 min mark, shot at 16mm and iso 100, what shutter speed and aperture do you use? and on a tripod?
Thx friend! I typically have my shutter between f5.6 to f8 depending on the depth of the room, but I don’t think it would matter much and then the shutter speed would be dictated by the amount of light in that room. Since I’m on a tripod, I just keep lowering the shutter until my exposure meter is a touch over zero. I find with Fuji, things look better reducing the highlights a touch rather than increasing shadows too much. Which is opposite from other systems like Nikon, which I started with. That system was better to underexpose and crank the shadows. You’ll have to test and see what you prefer. Hope that helps! :)

Every body having cameras why are you worrying
No worries here, man! It was an old video to talk about the differences of the camera models at the time.
Which lens do ypu use
On a typical wedding day it’s the Fuji 16-55 and viltrox 23mm. On this particular wedding I used the sigma 18-35 for most of the day. It’s a heavy lens tho so I don’t use it much for weddings anymore. Beautiful and sharp lens tho!
what's the best option ( value/money ) among them in 2023 ?
haha funny enough, now in 2023 it would be the XT4. Even though I'm tempted by the xh2 and xh2s, I'll likely pick up another XT4 for my wedding and commercial work. It has great image quality, the F Log assist is a must for me, great battery life. The one thing the xh2 series has that I wish the xt4 had is no time limit when video recording.
Very nice!
Thanks guys! Coming from you is a huge compliment! Love your work!
@@AtomicPixel you’re welcome! Wow, you’re too kind 🥺
How beautiful is this!!! 😅 ❤❤❤
Totally! :)
Other than the banding you can get using the electronic shutter under LED lighting, what benefit do you see to using the mechanical shutter vs the electronic shutter?
I like using it during wedding ceremonies so I don’t disrupt guests or when my baby is sleeping so I don’t wake her. It also helps when you want to take pics during the day with the f stop wide open. What body are you shooting with?
@@AtomicPixel I have a X-H1. And I have an old X-T1 that I love too much to part with. I like using both modern and vintage lenses with both. Regarding the shutter question, I get the benefit of a quiet electronic shutter. It's pretty much all I use. My question was more about the mechanical shutter. Any advantage to it other than banding under led lights?
@@don7117 I had an xh1 - been debating adding it back to the stable. And ohhh, ok. So the main advantage of the mechanical shutter is less rolling shutter distortion. If you pan quickly or your subject moved quickly, you might get distortion or a wobbly look in electronic shutter mode that you wouldn’t get with mechanical. You also can’t use a flash with electronic shutter. And very cool about our East. I’m in Ontario, but some good buddies of mine just moved out east. I thjnk he said about half hour from Halifax.
Watching you for the first time on this video. When I heard you say "This guy has been a beaut.", I knew immediately that I was watching a fellow Canadian. That, and the awesome content are great reasons for a sub.
Hahahah oh, fck ya bud! You can find me wearing double denim slurpin’ a Tim’s double-double. :) Where in Canada are you?
@@AtomicPixel East coast. Just outside Halifax.
❤️
:)
Bad boys wedding….the intro🫡
Hahaha
Are you shooting manual focus with the XT4? Great video!
Thank you! I am manually focusing most of the day. I did try autofocus during the part where family/bridal party came down the isle. Slowly trying more autofocus but I like having control so we’ll see! Haha
@@AtomicPixel Damn. Wish I could shoot more manual focus but I can't focus on moving shots well enough... Or even moving subjects. I just roll with the AF all day lol... So unreliable sometimes.
@@BuddyG are you shooting weddings? If so, you just gotta practice and learn which scenarios is ok to use autofocus. Reason I use it on the processional is because I know I don’t need the whole time to be in focus. If I can just get 2-3 seconds in focus then I can cut that part out. Also, I use af lock as autofocus when in manual mode. So it quickly helps me set focus and then I pull focus when needed. Hope that makes sense. If not, I should make a quick vid about that :)
@@AtomicPixel Yes! Thank you! I am getting ready to shoot 20 weddings in the next 8-10 months... One more question... Are you shooting with a monitor?
@@AtomicPixel BTW Thanks for the help man! I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions!
Awesome Video. Love the drone shots!
Thank you so much! It’s been a busy summer for weddings but I’ll be posting more and video breakdowns of each video (my approach, gear, etc) if you’re into that. Cheers!
I loved this, and the original X-H1 was so underrated. We’re you using a stabilizer for any of this or was it all handheld?
Thank youuuuu :) It def was an underrated cam. The new xh2s is intriguing but I can justify the spend lol. This was all handheld. Ibis on for some. Nowadays, I’ll use ibis for static shots and then take ibis off when walking/tracking couples (on the xt4)
Just ordered a second X-T3 body yesterday! Although the X-T4 has some benefits for my video production, the WW edition is very affordable (€1149) and I am able to use the same batteries and same battery grip - which makes it about €1000 more affordable than a new X-T4! The icing on the cake: I get a free Fuji handgrip and small extra’s with it as well.
Nice! Always sweet to score a good deal. In full transparency, this is an old video and I did pick up an xt4 last Christmas when I found a good deal on Amazon. The xt4 is my main body for wedding and commercial video work while my xt3 is my back up video but main body for photo work. I’m sure prices on all the older cameras will get even better as the xh2s comes out.
@@AtomicPixel Fair enough! I think I’d rather wait for the X-T5. But who knows - when I have the money… :)
@@BTMovieSecondChannel haha true. I'd love to try out the xh2s, but when's it's the same price as the a7iv, it's a tough call!
@@AtomicPixel Yeah, it's very expensive! For me, also rather unnecessary. And I prefer the analog dials! (Though, I always liked the look of that little digital screen.)
@@BTMovieSecondChannel for sure. I prefer the look of the xt3/4, that’s the charm of Fuji. Something like the xh2s would just be for work, not personal use. I just picked up an xe4 for documenting the family. I should make a vid on it haha
how do you expose for f-log? thanks 🙏
I’ve been going over zero by a touch but typically under 1 stop over. I also mind the zebras and will back off so they don’t show in the highlights. Sometimes you have to make a call if the subject is more important or the highlight if it’s a whole scene. Hope that helps!
Lovely video. Was this shot in flog?
Thank you! Actually, just eterna flattened out then colour graded. I just tried f log on my first wedding last weekend funny enough. Excited to grade it and see how it turns out!
fuji flog ? good job
Thx brother! This was one of my first wedding vids. I’m booked solid this summer, so I’m excited to improve my craft. More to vids to come! And no, this was just eterna, but I did try f log for the first time this past weekend. I think I’m gonna really like colour grading that. :)
Useful very well done video. I am a big fan of the 18-55. This past weekend, I photographed my neighbor's daughter's first communion. Despite the poor lighting in the church, the picture's were more than good enough to make 8x10 prints.
Thank you! :) The 18-55 definitely fairs better than most think! I also just picked up a sigma 18-35, so may have to do an updated vid
I think changing my camera' IS settings from Continuous to Shooting Only has helped my 18-55mm's image quality. I'm not alone in this online, although I know views vary. So worth trying if you have the 18-55mm and think images look too soft.
Great tip, Mike!
I just picked up the xt3 for $700. I’ve been using the xt1 for the longest until now.
Nice! I bet it feels so quick compared to the xt1 eh?
@@AtomicPixel lol most definitely
@@nitablackwood6301 haha enjoy! It’s a great cam. Years later, I ended up getting an xt4 since I found a good deal on one. Im excited to see what they do with the xh2!
Exactly what happened to me as well. Got Keychron K2, got wrist pain from the keyboard height, moved to Durgod and never looked back. Don't feel a need for a wristpad with K320.
Oh damn. I still do find a wrist pad is nice but can be used without. Although having a fully wireless version would be cool. Thanks for watching!
I just got an Xt2 and honestly it still does a great job and right now it’s about 450 USD body only. I use it for architecture photography work and basic video work. It’s a joy to use and it gave me more room for lenses and other equipment that makes my workflow better.
Sweet! That’s the idea - buy for what you need. Now, I’ll be honest, I did end up picking up an xt4 around Christmas because I found a good deal and my wedding video work has really picked up this coming year. I’ll have the do an update video to this one. Surprised this vid still gets views haha Welcome to the Fuji fam and enjoy!
