We tried balancing this thing for almost two hours and couldn’t get past the “Axis Lock” prompt. So frustrating.
@@FranciscoAlvarezTV Hey! I made a tutorial that will walk you through the balancing process, hope this helps! ua-cam.com/video/FPm9RHYyrn8/v-deo.htmlsi=4jj8AlJlAkRJ3qb4
Nice man ! if i have it on PF mode ,for example, at the time i shooting ,and for some seconds in between, i want to have it on L mode (lock) ,just for a few seconds ,by pressing the trigger button , after releasing it, will continue to shoot at PF mode again ?????? you know , at the same shooting , on th the fly. can i make it with triger button ??? is trigger button customizable ? You know ,at DJI gimbals , you can do that , but at weebill s that i had , when you press the trigger button , it was changing mode like forever , it wasnt coming back at the mode that it was before pressing the trigger button. You know what i mean right ? i like to have at 1 shoot a PF mode or F mode and for some seconds between to lock at something with trigger and unlock instantly and continue same shoot like PF or F or whatever.
@@kostasrestas Thanks for watching! I believe so once you let go of the trigger it should go back into PF mode however I dint believe the trigger is customizable
this is super helpful and concise! thanks for all the info :)

Can you explain video fps stuff like want does 4k 24fps mean
@@moepreme Yeah I got you! I’ll be working on my next set of the series later this month! But in short fps stands for “frames per second” generally 24fps is a cinematic frame rate because it looks very natural. 30fps is great for instagram and tiktok, and 60fps if you need to slow your footage down it allows for enough frames for slo mo

@@aidandestefano7514 Hey good eye! It’s such a great spot for photos and overall vibes!
Holy 🥞
Omg you’re an absolute menace mic 🥜
Great series. It’s time to round it up and drop a video on the exposure triangle and explain how ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture work together. Thanks for your time and efforts!
Thanks for watching and you're spot on with that! I'm planning on making the full exposure triangle video later this month :)
For more casual uses, all three settings "adjust brightness" but they also: - Time: controls motion blur - Aperture: controls depth of focus - ISO: controls image quality at lower light levels Personally, I prefer to use my camera on "semi-manual" (specifically A / Av). I will go full manual when needed, but it's much more convenient to leave the most flexible setting (in my case, time) on auto.
Yep! My past two videos I went over how aperture and shutter speed affect your image. My goal with this series was to educate people within 2 minutes, but I'm planning on making another video about the exposure triangle combining all 3 settings. Nice! I mostly shoot video so I don't find myself using aperture priority, however I definitely want to put more time into photography so I'll have to give that mode a try!
Did you shoot this in Redlands CA?
@@HunterGaming-cg1tg Yeah I did!

Here’s some ideal ISO settings for different scenarios! Photo ISO Settings: Daylight / bright conditions: 100-400 Afternoon / Sunset: 400-800 Evening / Night: 800-3200 (stick to lower isos if your image looks too grainy) Video: Always stick to Native ISO. If it’s too bright add an nd filter. Too dark, try finding light or you can bump iso up a bit, just try to stick to native iso for best performance
Can a monitor be mounted?
Unfortunately, there are no threads on the side grip to mount a monitor on the handle. There are 3 threads on the bottom which you could screw a magic arm to mount the monitor but you wouldn't be able to mount the tripod anymore
@@victor.melchorfilm Would be the perfect budget gimbal had they left the mounting for accessories. Thank you so much for quick response!
I grew up shooting actual film, and ISO 800 was considered unacceptably grainy for pretty much anything short of high speed sports action. Hearing an ISO of 1600 called “lower” is wild to me. 😆
I actually shoot film too and whenever I do shoot portra 800, I meter for 400 to get finer grain! But I agree it’s crazy how far cameras have come in the past few years, most modern cameras with apsc or full frame sensors you can push the iso to 10000 and with some noise reduction get a relatively clean image
Can a low shutter speed in a bright room damage my camera?
Great question! No it shouldn’t damage your camera sensor, the only thing that I can think of is if you have your camera pointed directly at the sun for long periods of time, regardless of shutter speed. During the Solar eclipse this year I saw some videos online of people frying their sensors because they tried to shoot the eclipse without an eclipse filter. So generally I’d just treat your camera like your eyes and don’t point it directly at the sun or strong light sources for long periods of time
@@victor.melchorfilm thank you so much❤️
@@victor.melchorfilm thank you so much❤️
@@Benykh Of course!
i never really touch aperture despite knowing what it does hahah 😅
You def should if you want more control! But also if you just want to have fun taking photos and videos auto modes can be more relaxing to shoot with!
aperture science, we do what we must, because we can
Awesome video!. I'm very new to davinci (came from sony vegas) and I do appreciate this tutorials you give out. I do have the free version but idk if it can have dehancer or not. Maybe its worth it upgrading to pro version? idk. But a few questions. From your examples, I see that if I use dehancer, its going to make my image achieve that nice colour look with the settings tweaked. For the nodes, I see you make 3 nodes, the first one to adjust any to your image, 2nd one and 3rd one is the dehancer adjustments. What's the second one do in your workflow? I also see other creators that they have 30 nodes for 1 clip but idk if that's correct or not (looks overwhelming). Is it really ok to just have a few nodes like 1 - 3 for one clip? Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching! I believe with the free version you will be able to add dehancer but I believe you can't export out either in 4k or 10 bit color, so I definitely recommend getting the paid version. If you're looking to save some money since it comes every Blackmagic product some people sell their Davinci license on eBay! www.ebay.com/itm/395521053405?epid=127914144&itmmeta=01J2AQV4B4GD8J1EQKSFWN4EG4&hash=item5c16e452dd:g:RAAAAOSwndZmjCYs&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8MhLvgfyjAIXXgFvkNHvK4fO2%2FWkleWDkAT%2B39yub0zKZW2ceeuWP9%2FLbpSRCMOAdHe1tlhPrgHqOS0%2BzVXsYxCaMol69Ln0G9RDq18jMRjdmiYpEbvlS37cCrSee%2BqXlFx5SxnA79z7kGuVBa6q1puE78yBgTPBW4FDCr31JUlhC5DwBUv8SvPdOxBYo0J04l2PPb6tfKQ%2FSKPNa7UVF7vfp4e5HnkQ8y2emmxaXIXufkY91xuEBNJNYxvrnqABNAzr46OTh8E%2FKYXQKQqHrVERhzxCBPDBSPQg%2BoEHLrXI43UYLJEV31mg6GE%2BEtJo2g%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBM0sXs15Jk
Great question! So typically I leave a 2nd node just in case I want to make finer adjustments to my skin tones, for example in this dehancer video I made last year I did make skin tone adjustments around 3:08 ua-cam.com/video/35lpAM13lSg/v-deo.htmlsi=6_WbP8T66O_AKI5E . However since then dehancer has gotten some updates, it's getting to the point where I don't always need to make skin tone adjustments! I have seen some creators use a lot of nodes for their color grade and that will definitely allow them to make a ton of fine adjustments to every color and tone they'd like. However for my workflow I find with dehancer 2-4 nodes is usually the max I use and it only takes a few minutes to grade each clip! Also cool tip if you didn't already know if you got a good grade on one clip, just select all nodes and you can paste that to your other clips to save some time :) Let me know if this helps!

Nuh uh, apperature is a company that makes robots, poisonous gels and portal guns

Nah, aputure is the manufacturer witch makes my favorite lights!

Let me know if you have any questions! :)
Thx bro, bless you
@@davidbowie2106 Got you! 🙏
Excellent demo and instructions. Thanks for sharing.
@@ImaginetMedia I’m happy to help and thanks for watching! :)
I still love my little BMPCC4K. Here in humid Sydney it got fungus on the IR filter which I’ve just had replaced. The only other camera that gets that is Leica. Must be in good company. Very inspiring camera.
I agree, they're honestly still one of the best budget cinema cameras you can get!
So you didnt have to rebalance to vertical? i missed that i think
You do have to rebalance it when switching to vertical, however it's the similar to balancing horizontal and only takes about a minute!
Hi! please help me with something..i hace a Falcam cage...with a f38 quick release system...is there a way to use another baseplate beside the manfrotto that comes with the gimbal? like an arca swiss QR? thanks a lot!
Hey! You will have to use the included base plate to mount however, since the falcon cage has two 1/4 threads on the bottom you shouldn't have any issues attaching the baseplate to your cage :) Hope this helps!
Thanks!
@@diegopalma5123 Of course, thanks for watching!
Good roundup of a basic rig for the BMPCC 4K, but I would have mentioned the fact that the camera also has a CFast 2.0 memory slot (which is fast enough for all of the BRAW and ProRes codecs) and more importantly that you can connect an external SSD via a USB-C cable. Oh...maybe also mention the fact there is a mini-XLR mic input with phantom power, and show how the battery pack connects to the camera's power input - it wasn't clear if this was via USB-C or the 2-pin power connector.
Thanks for watching and the feedback! I made this as an essentials video for the accessories I use and I personally don’t use the cfast or mini xlr port. But next time I’ll be sure to mention the power input!
how do you use the ND Filter and the mist filter at the same time?
Hey! First I attach the mist filter onto my lens and it has threads on both sides, so then I attach the vnd filter :)
@6:40 😬 you gotta get yourself some good gaff tape, it doesn't leave a residue at all
I lost my gaff tape but recently found it haha, but yes gas tape is the best!
Hey! I'm looking at your compatibility chart. I see my sony a7c in there but the lens I like to use most is Sigma 24mm f1.4. I don't see that listed anywhere on your list. Is that compatible in portrait/vertical mode?
Thanks for watching! I’m not 100% certain since it’s not on the compatibility chart however because the A7cii + Sigma 24mm 1.4 is lighter than my Sony Fx3 + Sigma 24-70 combo I’m pretty certain it will be compatible in both modes :)
hello. I'd like to ask you something about more detail. Actually I want to take flim with my own smartphone. Is there any magic arm that conver to smartphone?
Hey! I'd recommend getting the small rig smartphone holder with the magic arm and super clamp to film pot shots with your phone! Here is a link: amzn.to/3RW9fSO
Well explained, good job! However should clarify that choosing a shutter speed varies a lot depending on lighting conditions, what you're shooting, and if you're trying to achieve a certain effect. I get that it's a short though, it'd be impossible to explain photography in 30 seconds, especially when one thing is almost always dependent on the next and nearly all settings go hand in hand. A disclaimer at the end for the newcomers and inexperienced that it all depends and that there are more steps involved to capturing a good picture would be great is basically what I'm trying to say haha. Other than that, great job. Keep it up! :)
Thanks for the feedback! I totally agree, I created a longer 2 minute tutorial on my main page with an example about how shutter speed interacts with iso and f stop as well :)
Thank you for this video, never knew this info
Of course, thanks so much for watching!
I love the 24mm f/2.8 and the Zeiss Milvus Distagon 35mm f/2 and Zeiss Makro-Planar 50mm f/2. Smaller than the Z Lenses but they have aperture control rings which I can use these lenses on other camera systems using adapters. Great Video! Cheers!
I’ve seen some amazing footage with the Zeiss Milvus Distagon lenses, they look solid!! Maybe in the future I’ll try some out if the right project comes along, thanks for watching!
1/15 is higher than 1/500
1/15 is a slow shutter speed, 1/500 is a fast shutter speed. I should’ve said slow and fast instead of low and high, sorry about the confusion!
@@victor.melchorfilm that makes sense
That difference between 1/15 and 1/500 is crazy, the 1/500 looks so pretty! And the 1/15 looks… 😅
Right! Huge difference but I will say if you want to experiment getting the slow shutter effect can be kinda fun!
Beautifuly explained! Straight forward and to the point
Thanks so much I’m doing my best to break it down as straight forward as I can! :)
🚨Important Note: When shooting video at 1/48 on a bright day you will need a variable nd filter! Check out my full tutorial on the channel to learn more :)
