This is a great video. I love it when big name UA-camrs interview each other. I also appreciate the fact that Gerald is a data and information genius. He gives content creator enthusiasts the information that they need to choose their product but his videos aren’t so much about content creation. Unlike you who review products in practice in real world. I feel you two are two different types of reviewers and together you would be a complete perfect source of information.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Come on now, Tom wasn't looking to be insulted in your comments section 🤣 And hey, Tom, great videos man! Lots of quality info in those
What you see on camera is just as if not more important than the camera body itself. It’s nice we live in an age of being able to make almost any camera work so long as you have the right set design for it!
Hoped Gerald would've ended with "okaybyebye" 😄 Casual, goofy (Mark posing himself in the monitor while Gerald was talking 😆) and highly enjoyable! 😀 I'd like to see more Blue and Purple studios colabs in the future please. This made my day. 👍
Hey Mark, I usually enjoy joking around when I'm on your channel, but today I want to set that aside and be serious. I'm genuinely impressed with how you pulled that off with him. I imagine you must have been nervous managing the entire video-balancing the right information, being funny, staying relaxed, and keeping the video from running too long. Coordinating everything like that is no small feat, yet you made it look effortless.Not only did you maintain a great mix of humor, relaxation, and information, but you were also capturing some of the footage yourself. Really well done, Mark. Truly impressive. Or maybe it just took you guys ten or more takes to get it right 😂 Again: You did really well!
Great session with Gerald. I'm big fan of you both! I agree with the recommendations. We have a couple of A74s, an FX3, 2 FX30s, and my two "webcams" are a A6000 and a "Little Dougy" with a Sigma 16mm f1.4. I don't regret moving on from Canon when I realized I would be doing at least as much video work as stills.
If I was starting again with a small budget I think I would still get the old timer ZV-E10 maybe get a used one and the Sigma 18-50. I just got the Sony 18-105 OSS power zoom and I was using that on the E10 and was surprised how good it is in good light. I got it to train other people to use the E10 but I think It will appear on my a6700 from time to time.
Two of my fave’s. Fun to see Gerald’s studio from someone’s else’s point of view. A true Canadian dream team. Speaking of which your stop at Tims reminded me how much I miss their coffee and donuts since leaving Metro Detroit. Go Wings.
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it. It appears that you two genuinely enjoy each other's company. That makes my heart happy. All my favorite camera UA-camrs (sounds like a potato) are Canadian, so I like to imagine you all getting together for apple juice from time to time.
I like the Vlog style shooting at the beginning of this. You should do more like that “mark in the wild” or something. What about the zv1ii that’s a great right out the box no lens needed
Nicely done, and if you both had black shirts you would have almost been twins! I thought Gerald’s suggestion of the s5ii was even better in that you get open gate, great stab and you can get it for $2150 including a 20-60mm kit and a 50mm 1.8, but it is heavy…not an issue if mostly in studio. A7iv is about $2500 body only. And of course as Canadians we (you, me and Gerald) like to forget the current exchange rate AND the extra 2% Visa adds on for it if you use your credit card 😢. A6700 (or ZvE10ii) and sigma 16 a good, less expensive option for most. Enjoyed! And thanks for Zed!
In my experience, the best budget lights are those cheaper ones off Amazon with a nice big softbox - that gives you beautiful soft lightning. The cheaper LED panels generally don't come with softboxes, and because they panels are rather small, the lighting can look harsh. I still have a couple of old cheap lights that run off four E27 bulbs each, and even using one of them makes you look great :)
Dang, these 2 legends are the only ones I follow for gear tech. If I want to get a serious and heavy content, I'll go the Gerald's channel, but if I just spent a hell in my work, Mark Bennet is the guy I'm coming too cheers
@@goodgremlinmedia2757I've used it too, but honestly, no AF is a pain in the neck. Definitely wouldn't get a non-AF camera these days. If you're doing used and talking head, might as well go for the A6400 and call it a day I think :)
Mark, I think Gerald may be pranking you! Don’t fall for it! The address he gave me for his studio is in a warehouse on an island off the coast of Madagascar. He says I can drop in to visit anytime!
Great collaboration! You both are fresh and handsome and giving great advice! Thank you Mark. If not for you I would not be rocking my zv e10 right now!
best versatile lens to take as the #first lens rathen than taking a kit lens ? what are your best 3 budget recommendations for hybrid shooting . and can help a bit to cover mainly ranges and perform way better than a kit lens.

Gerald Undone's Memory Crisis
Well let's Undone this then
Lay off the weed sir
Ok, I'm already laughing at Mark checking himself out in the monitor while Gerald gets into the $2500 budget 😂
I couldn't stop staring - so big in the monitor!!
Wow, Gerald finally made it and got into a video to the real star! Happy for him
He was honoured
You TWO should really start a podcast, chemistry is looking good, this is hilarious. I don't care what ur contents would be
having Gerald Undone and Mark Bennett in the same video is like asking AI to make me a Canadian UA-camr. and then demanding, MORE CANADIAN!!!
Chat GPT suggested I bother Gerald
Woot, my 2 favorite camera guys together. Just made my day.
More of this please.
Been watching you since 5k subs. So cool to finally see you helping out the smaller channels!
I do it for the kids who struggle

Yeah, I always check both channels to be covered on the full spectrum
Yall need to team up more often. The comfort level and comedy is legendary!
I haven't seen a Gerald play second fiddle to a handsome protagonist since Hey Arnold!
🤣
2 of my favorite UA-camrs together. Love it.
Bro! Are you kidding me? Omg! My favorite person on UA-cam and my favorite Gear Review channel making a video together. This made my day.
Great studio Tour Mark/ Gerald and I'm also using the A74 for the studio camera w/ FE 35mm f/1.8 Lens...
Thanks, Jason!! It's as good as it gets.
Great rundown! Plus it’s cool to see that you’re giving an up and coming youtuber a chance to shine.
I help the less fortunate whenever I can
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Come on now, Tom wasn't looking to be insulted in your comments section 🤣
And hey, Tom, great videos man! Lots of quality info in those

I can't believe this collab happened so soon! 😲

So nice of the illustrious mark bennet to take the time to showcase the humble studio of Geraldundone. So generous. Lol great video

Wow. Two legends in one room. How is this possible? Of course, the suggestions and commentary here within is second to none. Great collab. Cheers.
MY BODY IS READY!
This is going to be good hahaha 😂😂😂
The colab of the century is upon us!
I can vouch for the A7IV + NTG mic + Amaran 100d combo! It’s what I use 😅
Yes. This is fantastic.
Hey Mark,

Really well done, Mark. Truly impressive.
Or maybe it just took you guys ten or more takes to get it right 😂
Again: You did really well!
Gerald makes it easy - a fun guy who knows his stuff - so everything was just all done in one take.
18 seconds in and I already laughed out loud...literally. Such a good intro lmao.
I had no idea Mark was this jacked!
🤣🤣💪🏻💪🏻
Great collab!

Mark, you made it. You're an influencer now. Video with Gerald is the right of passage. Congratulations! :D
he was so happy that I included him
Not even watch the video now, but just came to give Mark's dedication for us a simple Like.
It's appreciated!!
Kudos, Mark. The sneak peak is excellent for us without access.
If I was starting again with a small budget I think I would still get the old timer ZV-E10 maybe get a used one and the Sigma 18-50.

I got it to train other people to use the E10 but I think It will appear on my a6700 from time to time.
Yeah - don't tell Gerald, but I'd probably still rock a ZV-E10 and a Sigma 16mm for my studio 🤣
This was frekin excellent!
Thanks, Mark. I am a master collaborator 🤣
Love the studio! Always provides inspiration watching this….
Great to see you two together finally! Great video guys. I like the vlog style videos Mark.
Bahaha, this is great, I’ve been hoping someone would tour Gerald’s studio and you’re the perfect guy to do it. Well played.

Those Amaran tubelights are for $200!
So happy for Gerald.
He's finally made it to the big-time
I am proud of you Mark! Great job!
You should be proud of Gerald for letting me in. 🤣
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisisLOL, I promise I meant to write Gerald. I ruined my own Joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Mark's comedic timing is legendary
This is preety good. Gerald Undone off script is a cool dude. Thanks mark!
I'm so happy to see this!! I'm so excited, you have no idea!! Love the video and I always love the content!

Mark is easily one of my favorite UA-camrs! I was thoroughly entertained with this vid 😂😂😂
TOTALLY….AWESOME….VIDEO
this is great it's like an uno reverse on Gerald
Great collab!

I would do A7C2 + 20-70f4 … that would be the best all rounder for the price … :)

Mark, your guns are bigger than I thought, previously! Those short sleeved tee's are the way to go!
🤣🤣💪🏻💪🏻
Yes! It's best when you're talking to someone on camera. You've got it.
This is one of the most useful videos you’ve done. I’ve already made my purchases but this angle/topic is a great idea.
The outro sent me lmao
"I guess I am too then..."
Loved this Collab!!!!! So glad to see 2 of my favorite UA-camrs!
Gerald Undone ✅
Next? Peter McKinnon? Let's go!
we’ll get some coffee
Don't worry Mark. You are still the most handsome guy in this video. 😎
Always great to see great Experts having a nice chat! lovely video
Brilliant, two greats, love from the UK, TOP Video guys, will be nice to see another like this, when you guys can get together.
Lots of fun to watch. Thank you both. Take care.
Love the chemistry between you two! Also awesome to know i got the a6700, it made the list!
Brroo, how can I be like you? Get all the LENSES!!
🤣🤣🤣
I'm still amazed at Gerard's madness of a setup
Best video on the entire UA-cam for a very long time! Funny and seriously informative!
Two of the best looking haircuts I've ever seen right there.
You guys are perfect together. Loved this!
Hey, Mark. Please make a comparison video of ZV-E10 version II vs Osmo pocket 3
Thank you in advance.
Version 1 comparison was great.
I didn't learn anything from that but I was highly entertained
Wow! Didnt know background was that close.Thank You
This was hilarious! Also great breakdown of starter cam kits
2 of my favourite camera/tech youtubers in one video?!?!
2 seconds in and already so hyped with this collaboration :)
The S5 is less than a thousand used right now and on paper the specs are Wayyyyyyyy better that any of those sub thousand dollar cams you showed
It's true - fantastic for video, but a lot of creators need the more reliable autofocus that Lumix has in the new ones
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis For a talking head studio setup I have found that it works just fine. I have done that workflow with it in the past.
@@goodgremlinmedia2757I've used it too, but honestly, no AF is a pain in the neck. Definitely wouldn't get a non-AF camera these days. If you're doing used and talking head, might as well go for the A6400 and call it a day I think :)
Finally Gerald got cool enough to be with Mark in a video
Just barely
start a comedy duo guys! Great info and fun!
‘Spectrometer’ with the glare haha
I was smiling the whole video!
Such a good vibes to watch today
The crossover we didn't know we needed.
Mark, I think Gerald may be pranking you! Don’t fall for it! The address he gave me for his studio is in a warehouse on an island off the coast of Madagascar. He says I can drop in to visit anytime!
🤣
I need to hire Gerald to put that lightswitch in my space.
He'll probably get Tyler to do it
Totally enjoyed this man! Great combo!
Great collaboration! You both are fresh and handsome and giving great advice! Thank you Mark. If not for you I would not be rocking my zv e10 right now!
You should Form a Tag Team „2 Handsome guys with Cameras“
Great chemistry together! Should make it a regular!!
I cant express how im exited and happy to see you two together🥲❤
I love Tim Hortons, we have them in Ohio. I miss it since I moved to the south 😢
You look alike guys. If you told me that Gerald was a cousin of yours, I wouldn't say no !
Whatttt this collab is a supriseee🎉😮
this was so wholesome. i miss the random ish youtube talking nonsense stuff, thanks mark!!
"This is a ZED house." 😂
Those zooms sure are convenient, but it's hard to go from a 24mm or 35mm f/1.8 to an f/2.8 - that bokeh is addictive :)
I have a question that came to my mind why Amaran 100D and not the 60D ? (knowing they are the same price tag)
if you need a smaller light for space or travel reasons, the 60D is good, but the 100D has more power for the money
