Nice Video! A small "pro" tip: you don't need the Viviana RF Saver on the Receiver. It is used to get the antenna away from the human body/skin when you hide the transmitter under clothing. On the receiver-side it doesn't need to be there. Won't hurt though and it may be a good place to store backups. For me it would be to big and to close to my eyes :)

What light were you using on this shoot??

great video I love the energy going on. . I'm having the same issue with the Af ring it's just to close to the mount and hard to stay away from it. keep up the good work.

As a Sony user, I borrowed a Nikon Z8 and the Nikon 50mm f1.2 for a week to compare them with my Sony A7rV and the 50mm f1.2 GM. Visually, I don't see much difference. Both lenses are great (sharpness, bokeh)! However, compared to the 50mm f1.2 GM, the Nikon 50mm f1.2 is huge, heavy and has a slow and loud autofocus. The weight difference of the camera-lens combination is around 500g (Sony around 1.5kg and Nikon around a little more than 2kg). So if you ask me, I won't be buying the Nikon 50mm f1.2 anytime soon.

Thanks for the vid!

Great review. Yes, the CRDBAGs are expensive. They do serve a purpose for me as I move things from one camera bag or case to another depending on the job for the day. It's super convenient to grab my "cables" CRDBAG or my batteries, or small tools, or whatever else and essentially build the gear combo for the day. Admittedly these are a luxury item but they are holding up well and I can tell an assistant to grab bag "X" which is clearly labeled and also easy to see if things need to be added to the particular bag. Would I recommend them to everyone, nope! Do they fit a specific niche if you want to spend the $$$, yes. Overall, I agree with your evaluation.

I have both and use them for different reasons. For work events I will use the 50mm 1.2 on the Z8. I'm almost 70 and I don't have a problem with using it for about a 6 hour period. I eat my spinach. The 1.8 is excellent also and if I am going all day, i.e. 15 hours, I'll go with the 1.8. Non-photographers seem to notice how pleasing the prints of the 1.2 look, especially at 1.2 or 1.3 or 1.4. They have not seen anything that looks like the prints at 1.2. It's the rendition that different from the 1.8. It is subtle, but they notice.

No difference in simple headphones.

Great review man appreciate the insights and alternative ideas

Wait till you look at the k tek bags ahahahah, they are worth it tho

The lens cap/protection for the Everyday has been my question. I have 35mm 50mm 85mm. I was going to buy the filter size (67) to fit my 85 and use step up rings for smaller lenses. But now it appears based on your video, is I’ll also have to get the defender cap ($50) to replace lens cap so there’s some protection. My question is, the defender cap to cover the filter for 85mm size, will that work for the 35 and 50 since it’s the 67 fit for filter?

Is your take specifically around video work on the Nikon Z8?

Watched this….15 Minutes of Fame, and Next! Nikon Z8 Review - - then noticed these in your collection…. Being a Nikon User in 2023 Is Horrible! - and …. I’m Switching From the Nikon Z6 to the Fujifilm X100V Please check out this - Raymond Parker, Nikon Z8: Six Months Later (check out chapter ‘FUD’ 8.48 mins).

Awesome video! I’m just getting into the world of professional audio and this is a tremendous explainer video. Keep it up!

What are the benefits of the non slim version of the ambient with new slim locks upgrade vs the slim . I would think it’s better on sticks than the slim and it’s less messy with “ coiled” internal cable . I use an ambient slim 10.8 feet its internal cable sticks out but it can be removed to put a transmitter on it which is nice cause it’s lighter than the non slim version . The non slim version does not bend extended though ..when is no bend good ? On sticks ?

3:06 love this video but you did her dirty right here 😂

Hey there! Few things here. I’d recommend and internally cabled pole. I actually haven’t seen anyone with externally cables poles in a REALLY long time. They’re inefficient and make you work slower. Name of the game is speed and production really doesn’t care about us these days. Camera moves quick so we need to match their speed. I’d also recommend looking into used lectrosonics 411/um400a combos. Can be had for about 500-600 with a mic on the used market and triples your range compared to the g4s. And this is less of a recommendation for you and more for folks watching. Get the highest input machine you can afford for the price. High track count machines last you much longer career wise. Having a 4 input set up really limits you with what jobs you can take. A mixpre10 isn’t that much more and packs a huge punch. I’ve ran mixpre10s as my B cart on features and it keeps up well to my bigger 8 series cart. If you’re serious about production sound, the mixpre 10 or zoom f8n pro are the minimum I would recommend as systems that grow well with you. I would honestly own a mixpre and 4-6 channels of pro wireless before even thinking about upgrading my recorder. I ran an f8n for 5 years before I upgraded to an 8 series and I’ll be on this machine for the next 10 years (I’ve had it since launch). Smaller input systems like the mixpre6 are really more aimed to video people who need to do sound rather than us dedicated sound folks. Great video!

Heard no handling noise with the first part 😂

Keep grinding‼️

I also have the 50 1.2 85 1.2 and 135 1.8 and the 50 1.2 is the one I use the least, I agree with you that the 1.8 is more than enough

The size and the horrible design is the reason why I avoided the 1.2

NICE VIDEO, THAT 1.2 IS JUST WAY TO BIG FOR ME CANT HANDLE IT! WE SHOULD COLLAB!

Better optical quality. The 1.8 is an s lens. Give me a break

Hey! Does that Defender360 cap fit the everyday lens? Hard to tell in the video!

What’s Up Yostin, Im Not Educated At All On Filters… However, All My Video Content I Record Outdoords… I’m Looking For A Good VIR- ND Filter And A Polarized Lens Filter … I’m Working With A Sony A6600 My Lenses Are: Sony E16=55mm 2.8 And Sony E15mm F1.4.. Thank You

How is this a $3000 sound set up?

That extra stop of light when shooting low light can make a big difference though

Cool

Nice short man,thanks for the advice

Why the blurred shot tho?

Wow, didn't know George Lopez was a photographer too LOL. Jokes aside, great tips bro. Thanks!

Wonder why they didn't just make that a built in feature before shipping the product out.

Your sound card or audio interface name to use this mic

On my phone speakers the Rode sounds better, however I do believe the Sennheiser will get you more quality after finetuning and using quality audio equipment to play it back. For most people, the Rode will be fine. I am not a microphone specialist tho, I have no idea what I’m talking about. But I suspect that’s the case!

The photos taken by 1.8S look boring , it is just too sharp.

I like my Nikon Z6 and I love my Nikon Z8

With that money for 50 f1.2S lens, I would buy 35 f1.4, 85 f1.8S & 20 f1.8S.

Good review, it's a very specialised lens - I wouldn't want one. I still love my old AFS 50mm f/1.8, but it's a bit big with the ftz adaptor, so I just got a super small and cheap Viltrox 40mm f/2.5 (180g!) and love it for casual shooting when I'm walking my dogs or going to the store when I don't want to carry a big lump around my neck. I find 40mm really nice - a bit more breathing room than a 50, but still a similar look.

I own both. They are very different tools.

f/1.4

Great Video and break down. -I am new to Nikon so I am enjoying the rabbit hole !!

I have Z8 not big deal for me and just like 1 week ago bought 24-70mm 2.8 f and with micro lens 105mm even better in next 3 months will add 85mm 1.2 F Will not have regret love Nikon

Very good comparison.

Choosing a background so far behind is bonkers. You could have an f4 and see little difference. The 50mm f1.2S is an amazing lens. So is the 1.8S. But they produce very different portrait results in the conditions where one would reach for the 1.2S. The size and cost are the downsides and the 1.8S will be perfect in many cases.....but c'mon, if you want to make a comparison, show the conditions where you would actually see the difference.....full body shots or half-body shots (not headshots) with some not so distant background.

the 50 1.8s is so over engineered for the price it's crazy.

Good honest review chico keep it up

Perhaps read the manual again What a nonsense review

$$$ that’s why.

Whats that red tag on your camera? What is the function for it?

100% about the cap, saw some creators review this item, and it came with the cap, but when i bought it was only the clam shell case, very disappointed when i open the box but filter works great overall but yeah defender cap would have been so usefull
