How to take Self Portraits with the Canon R5: BTS
Great hairstyle.
Do be more aware of your snorting and breathing techniques. Otherwise, enjoy the new camera
The light will hit the full body with any size modifier. It's just how far back you need to pull it to cover the full body. This was a reasonable review. At least you weren't just drinking the Brandon Cole koolaid just because. How he sells the modifier is a bunch of bullsh*t, though, citing fake physics and stuff but in certain situations I can see this modifier working well. But there's NOTHING special about it other than the fact that it's more inefficient than basically every other modifier on the market. A lot of people don't have 600W lights and it's wild to me that you should HAVE to have one for a 40" modifier to be safe when lots of modifiers of the same size and larger can be used with an AD200 and AD300. I know one thing I'd never use this for is HSS outdoors (I use ND filters anyhow as I don't like HSS) but I'm not hating on anyone who uses it. I myself want to try it one day. I know one advantage this has over a lot of other softboxes is that when your light can't go down to a low enough power with other modifiers, this softbox has got you covered lol. This will get you down to the exposure you need. I laugh but that's a legit advantage. I might use this more for indoor shoots. I don't know. I'll try both once I get the opportunity to shoot with one.
Great video , im thinking about getting this for my BTS photography. How's the weight when shooting with it and you think this is still a good investment for content creation after 2 years ? Keep up the great work.
Yeah it’s good. The weight is definitely noticeable depending on your set up. Mine is usually a R5 plus grip with a 28-70mm. So I would be mindful about that and looking up a cage to make it comfortable
Thanks, man. Appreciate you actually showing a big body camera fitting inside. I have the R3 as well and don’t want to detach the lens all the time. Ordered this bag and cube yesterday. It was between this and the Compagnon Element 30.
Yea its a good fit and is my long day bag for that reason
Nice work
Thank you
Used in Ukraine for combat photography
It definitely a work horse now the R1 is out i'm excited to see the comparison
If you're thinking of buying ANYTHING from Sunny16, be sure to read the NEGATIVE reviews. There are MANY, mostly having to do with returns. They scam people out of their money on returns. If you doubt what I say, got to the BBB's website where they have an "F" rating. Look at all the negative press on Amazon, Walmart, B&H and other web sites. They scammed me on my return, so JUST DON"T GO THERE!!! You should run away now.
I do not know what DCAII said about the Voyager Cam bag. I don't need to know, because I bought it. The worst part is the company is dishonest. They promised the bag by a specific date. It didn't come in time, and I left the country with a competitor's product. My son refused the shipment at the USPS, it went back to Sunny16 and they refused to credit my account any money. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM SUNNY16. THEY ARE DISHONEST.
Thanks Dean! I'm gonna pick this one up for a trip i have in 2 weeks. I also have an R5 and will be putting a star tracker on top of it for tracked Milky Way shots. Very excited to use it, thanks for your unboxing!
Its been a great tripod just make sure you are tightening the legs. But load capacity is top notch.
How much of a difference do you see between the 1dx iii vs the 5d4 in the viewfinder focus capabilities?
It overall brighter and more responsive
Thanks. I ended up getting one a few months ago and it’s amazing!
Been eyeing this one. How do you like it? It seems middle of the road to me which is what I want. I have a 3 legged thing tripod already that I bought years ago and it’s odd because it’s holding up well but also not. The stickers fell off and the leveling thing fell out (need to glue back in) but actual function is great. Not going to lie… also love the colors!!
It great. the price is fair and havent had any issues.
Thanks.
Great video. I was thinking about this myself and don't know how I missed this video. But it was like whenever I want to see people using this dish, there were just the videos of people taking photos of white walls trying to convince everyone how bad it is and saying "inverse square law" a lot. I want to see someone use it in a real photoshoot other than Brandon. I always think... "You have the dish, even if you don't like it, use it in a shoot, show is the results... Why waste having it on taking photos of white walls" 😂😂😂
Glad you like the video. Nothing is better than hands on experience.
Well, it's to show you the inefficiency of it. I'm pretty sure the light out of it is fine but needing to push your light a whole stop, stop and a half is wild. But the wall tests are to show you exactly what you're getting in terms of falloff and power.
Good job on the video! I'm gonna try using the app today!
Thank you and I hope everything worked out for you.
Glad to see you back. Your videos are honest and very unpredictable. When you step up in quality the purchases become a la cart. The unit itself is superb in quality and many in the industry rave about it.
Thank you Brutha!!!!!!!!. I needed this info. Im not race specific, however I think it's important for us to support eachother. I follow a few of theses photographer but you put me up on more game. I'm definitely gonna follow theses cats. TMIDD Is dope for sho'. Thanks again and God bless.
Glad you liked the video and glad it holds up still 2 years later.
Thanks for showing how a camera with a grip fits through the side access; I’ve been looking for a video that specifically shows that because I have a Canon 5D Mark IV. 👍🏼
Glad it help it has been a journey finding a bag with that space in mind.
Nice video!
Thank you
Thanks for the review. Been thinking about that bag since my Tenba ripped. Still have your 1DXiii?
Appreciate you watching and no I switched to the R3.
I still have mines for sports but I'll see what the R1 is all about when it comes.@@deancharlesanthonyii
so what are your overall thoughts on this product? Is this softbox the first modifer you're pulling out of your bag when you have a shoot?
Hey so at this point it its interchangeable for me I split use with the Manny soft box
Man you’re killing us !!!!!
Good review. I want that different experience. I have a 24-70rf it’s great too. The 24-70rf is a practical workhorse lens. Now I want to be inspired 😊
Yeah its one of my favorite lens. I really like the direction Canon went with this.
shoot more on liveview ..... and you will see that the 1DX MK III can keep up with a mirrorless camera and it gives you the same results....I use the 1DX MK III and the Mark II and also even older bodies the Canon 5DSR for Landscapes and I also use a Canon 1DS MK III for portraits..... every camera has a specialty and a lens ........
whats it look like through the eye piece though? I heard mirrorless the eyepice is laggy and not real?
It looks good the lag for most modern mirrorless is about gone. Never had a problem with it.
"promo sm"
Ayyyeeee congratulations on your purchase man! I did a video on my channel using the R3 and I loved it!
Yea had a wedding last week where I got to push it through the paces and I am impressed.
I have to look into that R6 and see why you don't really care for it. Does it produce the same quality as the R5? Good video.
A new 45mp with more Dynamic range on the R5 vs an older 20mp with less Dynamic Range on the R6.
So I do want to mention it is a good camera. But I’m not fond of the feel and experience of use as much as the R5. The R5 overall for me is just better for me. Now the R6 is why these last few videos have been so crisp in 4K, lol. But the R3 is more comfortable for my Duel camera use( and infield use).
@@deancharlesanthonyii For sure!
Cool. Did you sell your 1DXiii?
Yeah I was able to get a good deal so I made the switch honestly the weight difference on my shoulders is making it worth it now lol.
@@deancharlesanthonyii I have both the mark ii and iii. Gonna keep both until they die. I shoot Pop Warner football games and use both cameras. One with a 70-200 2.8 and the other with a 400mm 2.8. I also have the R5 and R6 for weddings and portraits. Thanks brutha. Keep doing the good work.
Yeah they are great cameras how do you like the 400mm
Shine enough light onto black will make it grey, and even more light will make it close to white thats why the softbox still produces light at the expense of wasting power. Bro said the quality is good but struggle to open it 😅 i though good quality is fluid mechanics and ease of use 🤔. You really think anyone "seasoned photographer " with experience will wake up one day and say they want a softbox that waste light.
Out of curiosity, how many Glow EZ Lock modifiers have you went through? Because people often talk about the build quality but for the price point, I feel they're built decent all things considered.
What’s up, man, and I’ve owned 3 models, the 22in, 36in, and 60in( excuse if I missed sized one). I do believe the Glow softboxes are priced well. I know for me, I had issues within a year of shooting having a wire start poking through the end fabrics-particularly the 60in and 36in. But at the price range, it is more reasonable for something like that to happen to me. Compared to this I feel confident that I want have this same issue.
I’ve had some for a while now with zero issues, but I know everyone’s mileage will vary.
Great review man. Props to you for being brave enough to make a review on a controversial product! I used it myself for a few minutes at the photo walk in Vegas a few months ago and I loved the images I got from it. So to your point yes it does work. It's a 40-inch soft box. So light is going to come out and be soft light. BUT! Like you also said you will have to use more power than you would a conventional white or silver interior. And also once you dial it in, the results aren't much different than any other softbox. To your point about the price, I don't think the price dictates how good of a photographer you need to be to buy it. I would argue that based on Brandon's marketing and his message that this softbox was made to make using flash easier for those with less experience. Anyone seasoned enough to know better probably wouldn't buy a 40-inch black softbox in the first place, unless it was to support Brandon Cole. Oh, and the build quality is amazing. But for the price, it has no choice but to be.
Always appreciate a comment from Photomeike and thanks for your thoughts.
An honest statement thanks
Now this is a VERY honest, reasonable and logical take on the BlackDish. Always count on Ike to be 100 with what he thinks on anything.
I think you are being overly kind, and that’s cool. But we all know the physics don’t work, and wouldn’t you do just as well by lowering the light output?
This right here. If it requires MORE power from my strobe to generate what can be generated with my existing modifiers, then it doesn't seem to have much value. It seems like it's just blasting an open head light through a diffusion material. I still haven't seen any value in this.
@@DeaqonJamesLV there is none
I hated it as a dish and because I've never used a beauty I thought I was doing it wrong. Glad it's not just me.
I’m curious what flash were you using
Great job with explaining this to us, and being truthful but not hurtful towards Brandon. Ive learned a lot from him so im still considering getting it just to support
Thank you and I think it’s definitely worth experiencing for yourself.
I've learned some stuff from him as well but you have to sift sense from nonsense with him (and other UA-cam "educators"). Nobody was being hurtful to Brandon. It's one thing to peddle a black modifier (which in itself is iffy from a logical perspective), it's another thing to double down on completely inaccurate physics to sell your modifier to people who don't know better. Totally incorrect bullsh*t he's spewing to people to sell his modifiers. THAT'S the issue a lot of people, including me, have. Black does NOT produce softer light, though if you go by what he says, it does. Things like that is why people come at him, not because they're trying to be hurtful or spiteful. Overzealous fans of his believe everything that comes out of his mouth without thinking for themselves. And of course, playing the race card as well. Mind you, Cole is the same person who told ME in the comment section of one of his videos that the large, translucent shoot-through umbrella he used is NOT a light modifier because it doesn't modify the light, it just changes the path of the light *smfh*. Horse sh*t like that. And what the hell is the point of a BLACK deflector plate?
So you bought an expensive inefficient modifier. Also, just because something is expensive doesn’t mean it’s premium. Also, in the start of the video you say this is a great build quality but later in the video you admit this is the most expensive one you have purchased. If you are comparing anything to newer you are going to get better build quality. But you clearly haven’t tried any decent brands because you are relying on UA-cam over hyped junk.
Ouch😂
what a scam 😂
There are reviews of the BlackDish. It is absolute vaporware (to be nice).
Thanks for the info Just quick question Dean How you justify keeping 1dx iii with R5? Do you find 1dx iii better than R5 in some situations ? Thanks
Honestly 1 harsh weather and still prefer it for weddings and events.
I already was thinking about buying it because I want to support him but the quality of this modifier looks veryyyyyy legit
Yeah I like it but it’s in my rotation of use but definitely has some limitations but had to support
@@deancharlesanthonyii scam...a Total scam product
I love the energy
Thank you
It's a 40". Just put it on the floor and press the inside on all sides down a few at a time. That's the easiest, fastest way I've found to open it. Pulling it the way you did is unnecessary work. Brandon Cole talks nonsense about the black interior making the light softer. Obviously, that's not true at all. The only thing this beauty dish will do that's unique to all other collapsible beauty dishes is that it will tame specular highlights in a big way, which in itself is a great thing. to collapse it again I lightly pound the knobs down very quickly with the back of a pen knife or something.
Thanks for this! Looking forward to the review!
Pretty neat man. Can't wait to see your review of it after your shoots.
How do you even open it.
A lot of thumb strength lol. But basically there is a lock and release switch it gets easier as you use it. Just stiff the first time.
great review! i just picked up the RP last week as an upgrade from my EOS M50, and there are so much solid things about this fullframe camera! great video !
Thank you and the RP is still my grab and go for most days.
Your setting are really good but I think the light is too much on her face, just try to reduce the light from the strobe. Nice shots, proud of you.
Appreciate the feedback thank you
Thank yo uso much for this very concise & helpful information! How is the eye af for static subjects @ a distance of about 10ft from camera position? I really like the idea of eye af but it doesn't have to be the latest & greatest, just reliable!
It’s good and reliable for the price range.
How has the softbox been working out for you?
I like it a lot. I do think it is a bit over priced. If you shout out side I recommend but studio go with a glow
I’m not a pro but I take my RP with the 50mm everywhere I go and get some noice stuff with it. Best bang for the buck for sure.
It’s my travel cameras any time I need to get up and go
