    Great short video 🙌🏼🙌🏼love a good prism shot! It’s sweet seeing what could be done to spice up prep shots. We’ve even used an accessory mount to attach one when shooting with a monopod or ronin.

      Cool! What mount?! That sounds neat!

    • @ParfaitProduction
      @ParfaitProduction 6 років тому

      Hey! We use an Ikan accessory arm to mount the prism. We don't do any hand held and found this works great for our style. Here's a link to the arm: www.amazon.com/Ikan-MA211-11-Inch-Articulating-Black/dp/B00LPJ1LP8/ref=sr_1_33?srs=3031403011&ie=UTF8&qid=1518472735&sr=8-33&keywords=Ikan

  • @Zethin64
    @Zethin64 6 років тому

    Thanks Matt! First time with your videos - fantastic and to the point. One question I have - so is the prism fairly useless on F4 and up? I'm only going to be able to use one lens for a period of time coming up here, just wondering if I should just wait until I have an F1.8 to invest in the prism.
    Cheers!

    • @whoismatt
      @whoismatt  6 років тому +1

      Hey! The prism won’t work quite as well, it won’t be blurry enough. But you’re welcome to try it. :)

    • @whoismatt
      @whoismatt  5 років тому

      I doubt it. Main reason is you need the shallow depth of field at f2 and below on a full frame sensor to take advantage of it.
