I'm glad you enjoyed this. The ring light just wedged in the back of the pop-up softbox very securely. I think because the diameter of this particular light is very close to that of an S2 mount. The head of the speedlight is still poking through the middle of the ring light so you could just use a piece of tape or two to secure it to the flash head body if yours doesn't wedge in place as neatly.

@@seymourecarnage Genius. The Irony of this solution is simply hilarious. Just so that you know that for us so-called "Seasonal Pro's" that won't go over to Constant LED Lighting, have been scratching our collective heads & asses since the idea of Off Camera Flashes inside our Softboxes without modeling lights became a thing, a long time ago. Some of so-called genius's were taping or velcro-ing mini flashlights that really didn't provide enough light. So we had to manual focus testing "Hail-Marry" shooting indoors situations. And where do we end up? Constant LED Lighting any damn way, in spite of ourselves. And lets not forget that all of the newest Godox, Flashpoint... etc are all retooling their newest strobes with an LED Modeling light.

@@NatPage Not sure. I would contact the creator. Last I checked he was pretty on top of keeping up with the newer camera compatibility.

Yeah, the Lpd8 technically works, but because of the knobs with hard stops it's certainly not optimal. It would be awesome if it had infinitely rotating dials, but it doesn't. So yeah, the next time you use that knob it's going to start where you last left off. Not the end of the world, but it's irritating. That's why I ended up using the Behringer instead, and why I recommend controllers with infinite knobs.

@@martinphilipps8678 I don't think my comparison is flawed or misleading. I don't try to sell DxO PureRaw as an editing suite in any way. I don't specifically go into the differences, but I feel like I make it clear that PureRaw just does Denoise processing, while C1 is an editor. I feel that was made pretty obvious when I did the further processing of the flower cart shot in C1 vs the Pure Raw file and the unedited RAW, and I specifically called it out as a side tangent. If someone wants an editor with the power of PureRaw they can also simply get DxO PhotoLab instead, which is exactly that - an editor with the DxO engine. I wasn't trying to get into a whole shootout between editors, though. PureRaw works as a pre- or side-processor with the most popular editors, so there was no need to muddy the waters. I just wanted to analyze X-Trans handling options. It's all even more obvious if taken along with the context of my other videos on the subject.

@@wasil3k Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry you couldn't get something with your iPhone. Sounds like you had better luck than most, though.

@@seymourecarnage Nothing we can do about it: ) so I had to get android phone to do that 😄 anyway I’m planing to buy Galaxy ultra 24, life is easier with android phones, I’m not that sure if I still want iPhone

I don't have a good response to this. My last Sony was an A6000, and that was years ago. I'm guessing you can, though. Post your findings here, for sure!

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking so I will answer both of my possible interpretations. 1. Monitoring will have no impact on the quality of the video recording. 2. If you're wondering if the quality of the monitoring footage will match/reflect the quality of the video footage, it will depend on the quality/capability of the display on your device, your settings, etc. Hope this helps.

The capture dongle is less than $10. That's all you need to turn your phone or tablet into a monitor, as long your camera has compatible connections. I simply lay out the potential other costs you may run into depending on your circumstances or optional accessories you may or may not already own. I call out the worst-case total investment at 3:25.

Thank you. I hope they come in handy.

Glad I could help!

Thanks!

Interesting. I would think that would be a readily available item just about anywhere in the world. Alternatively you could get a long piece of 3mm bar stock or a cheap spool of 14ga galvanized wire from B&Q/HomeBase and use that for the frame. It wouldn't be as convenient but it would certainly do the job. Good luck!

I have found some Yaay. Thanks for such a good idea. I did wonder about using a strip of Aluminum, but the splint is more user friendly I think. I have watched several of you videos now and have learnt a fair amount. I enjoy the humor too.

Excellent. Glad it worked out for you, and thanks for the kind words! I try to keep things lighthearted. Photography needn't be so serious.

Thank you!

Not unless your phone has an HDMI port 😅. Seriously though, I'm not sure if any cameras are using USB-C to output video instead of HDMI, but if there are some I don't have an answer for you. That's why you need the capture card though. To take the HDMI feed and convert it to a datastream for USB.

@@seymourecarnagesome cameras have USB streaming which basically emulates a USB webcam which I have tried and you can just plug directly into the phone. But this only works in video mode, might have a limited output resolution (depending on the camera), and prevents the camera from recording to the SD card so you would have to screen record on the phone which makes it pretty much useless.

​@@NicksperimentsNot all cameras have a webcam option. I know of many modern ones that don't. This will work with any camera with an HDMI port.

Thank you!

Nice advice. If I end up doing more A-B critiques I will take this to heart. Thanks!

Thanks for this. I am definitely trying to demystify/destigamtize photography for the common person. Glad to hear my attempts at humor manage to land sometimes, and that I'm actually helping folks!

Yeah, in retrospect the cardboard box was a little too light and ended up wobbling a bit. Something heavier would have been 100% smooth. I wasn't going to do any stabilization in post and try to fake it. Thanks, 👑! Always good to hear from you!

That is an excellent idea! I have tried various furniture sliders under the tripod feet but even on short carpet there's still some texture and "grain" to it which causes shake in the tripod. I even made a foamcore platform with sliders on the underside for better stability and weight distribution. It was better, but still a fry cry from good enough. Taking the surface out of the equation might just be the trick, though. The only catch is that a heavy duty tripod dolly costs about the same as a good chair mat, and offers more mobility, and would be easier to store. If you already have a mat it'd be a genius solution, though. Thanks for this!

I am almost positive that TTArtisan 25 comes in E-Mount. As a former A6xxx user I would have been stoked to have that lens for those bodies.

@@seymourecarnage there's a 21mm for full frame E-Mount. Maybe I'll give it a try! Thanks Seymoure, see you soon!

You are familiar enough with the Fuji-sphere to know the XF 18 and 27 are the only real AF options, and then the various third party 27 copies. Since you're so video-centric I wouldn't recommend any of them. The 18 is one of the first year X mount lenses, and is not aging super well, and the 27 has a very slow/loud/clunky stepper AF motor. I hear the clones aren't much better. There's just no room in those tiny bodies for fancy AF drives. A manual lens would work really well, especially with a focus brake on the ring. Breathing is pretty minimal and the rings turn very smooth.
