Our Sony A7SIII Complete Rig for Real Estate Videos
Переглядів 3,9 тис.3 роки тому
We've been asked many times what gear we use for our real estate productions so we decided to spill the beans. We recently upgraded to the Sony A7SIII but still have retained a lot of the same gear we have been using over the years. This is the complete kit we use to shoot low to medium budget real estate projects including the lenses, gimbal, audio, and lighting equipment to get that HGTV feel...
Can you test the Aivascope 1.5x with a. Sony 70-200mm f2.8 ii GM taking lens (or Sigma/Canon/etc equivalent)? I know on the website it says the sweet spot is 50-90mm, but I wonder what a long 70-200mm would look like, especially at 135mm and above...
@@adrianrobison tough, front element on Sony lenses are very large. Better to use mechanical lenses/primes. You lose the anamorphic character after 85mm anyway
@@fullbars Ahhh gotcha. So that’s why they have on the website 50-90mm…. It’s not a “if the lens will fit” issue (some long lenses have small fronts) it’s more of a “you will lose the anamorphic look” issue? I see now…. Thank you.
Not worth 1.5k
Will be great to make update how setup looks now... and maybe part 2 :) Thanks
Great video. Do you still use it and suggest? Or maybe better Sony 14mm 1.8GM?
I have the 14mm but rarely use it since I’m digging the right shots. Biggest problem with super wide in real estate is the side walls stretch and take up so much space in the frame, and puts everything center of frame at a distance.
@@fullbars so you use more often Sony 12-24mm f2.8 GM? Or you have other "main" lens for real estate photography? :) I am struggeling now to buy Sony 14 1.8 or 12-24mm f2.8 GM for real estate, travel photography and videos :)
@@rebelwwg1wga431 16-35 2.8 mostly but a wider lens is useful for some situations
I love this video and you grabbing the case of nikon ais lenses peaked my interest. Do you have pointers on where to buy?
Mainly eBay.
Would love a tutorial on how to setup that rig. I got a Bmpcc 6k pro and a 18-35mm sigma
It’s pretty easy! Best setup is using AWS standard rail block
@@fullbars aws? So not the rail block that comes in the box of the ronin?
@@MatthewRumble Cant imagine that would work, the rail block needs to position the lens mount at an exact height and center.
Great review Steven! Did you tried the Aivascope with modern lenses such as canon EF ou Sigma Contemporary? Does-it work? Thx
Not yet! I imagine it would be difficult because of the large front element and electronics
Thanks for the review. How long does it take to change one lens to another in this setup?
With rails it’s just 20-30 seconds longer than changing a regular lens.
Great video. Rig looks good. I am considering the SLR 2x for starts for my A7Rii. I have 43 vintage lenses.
I really enjoyed it! Thank you for the good video. Is the 105mm AIS lens the f1.8 version or the f2.8 version?
I’ve been working with my canon fds and a friends aivascope on a Komodo and a Alexa mini it’s been amazing
Sweeeet
Very nicely made setup. This is actually my dream setup. Nikkors + aivascope. Currently collecting Nikkors, no budget with the aivascope yet. Tastly made footages! Thank you for sharing. Try checking the tokina 28-70 f2.6-2.8, made in collab with angenieux, parfocal they said in YT.
Thanks! will check it out!
What did you use to focus while on the gimbal?
Nucleus Nano!
great video!
Nice. I just bought this lens, never used it, hoping it will be good for real estate :)
Well made video 👏
Great video. What about comparing the 12-24 with the 14mm GM? Smaller, lighter, and wider aperture, in exchange of the zoom range.
Really cool vid! Do you remember the lighting setup you used to shoot the woman by the bridge? It looks like there's a main light or bounce coming from the left of the frame at 11:13?
Thanks! In the indoor shot it’s a Nanlite Forza 500 bouncing off the ceiling. The bridge shot is all natural light.
@@fullbars Thanks so much! 😊
Would you guys recommend this over 16-35gm 2.8 lens for real estate videography? Considering I already own a GM 24-70 2.8?? And why?? Do we really need the aparture to go down to 2.8 for this lens over say the same lens that's F4? And why? Thanks I appreciate any advice
I personally would not. It’s kind of a specialty lens and not an all arounder like the 16-35. I’d rather have 35m tight than 24m any day. You’re right, if you don’t need the extra stop you can get away with an f4 but the GM just feels like a safer bet in terms of image quality.
what lens support did u use? any link thanks?
The Aivascope comes with a rod lens support
Also! I shoot on the fx3 as well and was considering this adapter. Already have the tilta cage and some canon fD primes from back in the day. Anyway you could provide links to the LWS plate and other rigging gear you used to setup the adapter and camera together? Planning on getting this setup and trying to balance it on my ronin s 2 though I'm not sure how it'll handle.
The lens comes with a rail adapter. The lws plate is the Tilta one that pairs with their cage. one caveat to Tilta’s system is you need to buy their dovetail which is not a standard size. Also look at the Blazar 1.5x adapter. You can get a similar quality at a lower price point.
Really great video with tons of useful info and so glad I found your channel! Looking forward to seeing yalls growth!
Thanks! 🙏
I was waiting for your new videos. I have the Komodo and have been interested in some anamorphic footage. This Aivascope comes up a lot. Thanks for making this video. Would love to know about your color grading process, how you get clients and how you price your work.
Thank you sir. Will do! Working on some as we speak.
Amazing video, thanks for posting it!
Nice lens but it's way overpriced. I have a Sigma 14-24mm who's image quality is on par with Sony GM lenses at a third of the cost. The difference between 12mm and 14mm is minimal and not worth an extra $2k.
What is this music from 7:50?
what do you think about 12-24mm sony vs 9mm Laowa FF II ?
What do you think about the 14mm 1.8 for real estate?
I’ve owned it for about 6 months and haven’t used it yet lol! The 16-35mm PZ is just too convenient to make me want to put it down.
Hello, first of all, thanks for the nice video. I had a question. I bought this lens today. After taking it out of the box, I noticed that there is a sound inside. When it shakes, something inside moves. Is this normal? If it is normal, what is this shaking thing?
Strange! I would return it for sure.
Awesome video, thank you!
What kind of gimbal are you using? Please write all combos (lights etc) 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dude how the hell are you getting that white balance so damn perfect? Holy hell those whites are WHIIIIIITE
Maybe I’ll do a tut hehe
@@fullbars please do! I tend to drop the saturation on the highlights but it sure doesn’t turn out this good. Then again I’m also shooting 8-bit
@@fullbars have you since made a tutorial on this?
@@therockysafari4302 Thanks for the suggestion. Not yet. We are rebranded and launching some new videos soon
what aperture do usually put when shooting real estate? Thanks
Now you just need to upgrade your gimbal to a RS2.
Already have one. 😊 just need to put a ring on it
@@fullbars Tried a ring but prefer keeping my hands closer together and near my body for better stability.
@@ProfoundWeddingFilms 😯 I guess everyone handles it differently. (That’s what she said)
Москва посмотрела! Лайк
Please, For real estate and architecture proffesional work, Is it well coorrected for straight lines? Distortion? Considering this or the sony 14 1.8 gm or Sigma.
It has lens distortion that would need to be corrected in post. If you want completely straight lines then I recommend the prime lenses. Laowa Zero-D's are great and Sony GM 14mm
@@fullbars which is more corrected and sharp? The new Sony gm or the Lowe?
@@polanialmoni6274 I haven't tested the new Sony GM.
How do you expose for slog3 ?? Great review
Do you record Externally RAW?
Tried it once but since I use Davinci Resolve it doesn't make sense to have to re-encode to start editing.
Subbed. Ready for the tutorial videos
Where can i access the music used in your video?
Thank you for the real estate content. Im planing on purchasing a new camera and lens. What would you recommend Sony aiii or Sony FX3? Also what's the lens for real estate videos and city vlogs. Thank you
Sony A7sIII and 16-35mm f2.8 all day.
@@fullbars Thank you!

Still waiting for part 2!
Loved your video. More of these please.
I didn't know that I would love 12mm but man it looks great. Thank you for the review.
nice video...
Great review, Man ! Thank you
This may be a silly question, but when using an A7s3 (or anything similar) on the gimble should I shut all internal camera stabilization (including lens) off or leave it on? Thank you. Great vid btw.
Looking into the 15mm. So funny. I was thinking Sony not long ago. Went with Bmpcc4k for the image. A couple weeks ago found a sale on this body. It’s wild. Never had AF in my life 😆 I’m not regretting the purchase. But between the 12,14, and that 15. Thinking the 15 for sure
The 12mm EF is a cool option when paired with the Laowa Magic Shift Adapter
Purchased the 12-24 a few months ago for interior documentation for projects. Great lens, great investment!
