I have below a list of all the equipment we use on most our shoots. They are direct links to Amazon, where we bought all the same equipment. These are affiliate links, so if you want to support us, and buy the item off the link, will make a little money off of it. Your not charged any extra, and it goes to supporting us, just wanted to make sure you knew ahead of time :) These are all products I stand by 100 percent regardless, and all products we use on a day to day basis. At the end of this list I'll have a link to a blog going into even more depth about the equipment we use.
Camera Equipment I Use:
Canon 5D Mark III (use for all our behind the scene videos):
amzn.to/1Xe3uL3
Devinsupertramp Signature Series Glidecam:
amzn.to/1UU9UjC
My Favorite Lenses in Order of used most:
Canon 16-35mm F/4 USM
amzn.to/1Xe3KtA
Canon 14mm F/2.8
amzn.to/1UUacqQ
Canon 70-200mm F/2.8 II
amzn.to/1UUaf5X
Canon 24mm F/1.4L II
amzn.to/1UUaj5S
Canon 50mm F/1.2
amzn.to/1Xe3XwT
For all our aerial shots, we use the DJI Inspire 1, with two controllers.
amzn.to/1UUauhl
Our favorite audio mic for on board camera:
Rode Pro Mic
amzn.to/1R8xPMH
We also use B+W circular polarizer. They get rid of the reflections from water, windows, and most plants/green things. We use them whenever the sun is out. When buying a polarizer make sure to get the right size for the lens that you own. I feel if your going to spend the money and buy an expensive lens, it's worth spending the extra money to buy a polarizer of the same quality to match your lens, otherwise your lens won't be as clear. Plan on spending about 130 dollars US for one.
Here's a couple different sizes for common lenses:
77mm.
amzn.to/1UUbjH2
82mm
amzn.to/1UUbnXp
GoPro Hero4 Black Edition. This is the one we use and recommend.
amzn.to/1RIIxno
The GoScope We Use:
go-scope.com/?u....
Western Digital 2TB Hard Drives:
amzn.to/255VuBx
Transcend Card Reader:
amzn.to/1WsByD7
Here's the drones I would get in order of my favorite. We use the DJI Inspire 1 for our videos.
DJI Inspire 1
amzn.to/1ow1cuS
-I would get two controllers if possible to have the ability to have someone control the camera as well.
DJI Phantom 4: http:amzn.to/1RY2AEm
3DR Solo:
amzn.to/1RY2DAf
If you have a very small budget and don't have enough to buy a big/medium drone, this is an awesome option to learn how to fly for under $100.00. They have a small camera on them, I would use them not for the camera but strictly to learn how to fly.

how to focus on glide cam tutorial pleasssssseeeeeee
+Vijay Mahar Automatic focus
thanks
yeeaa devid, make tutorial about glidecams in general, likeee if u agreee
+MiSiO devin*
+Tijmen vdP if you want a proper result, i would not recommend this idea. The result can be an image with "pumping" focus which looks kinda ugly and amateur I think. Just do the job properly, set up your focus upfront and than shoot with a constant distance between the object and your camera, so you will not have any problems.
Devin, you should do a video introducing the team - you have a talented group of people, how did you find them?
Devin mate! Make a video on how to properly use a glidecam, pleaseeee :)
yeees
It will come very soon. At least Devin said that a few days ago😊
+Álvaro Del Río Guillén there is already one he made a couple years ago in hawaii
yes but it is very very basic and doen´s really describe how it works ;-)
I'd be so scared of not doing a good job, it's such a big day for them. Must be nerve racking when you're first starting out
+Shan Tomouk I have done that in a different type of video for some other UA-camrs in my country. All of it was out of focus and I hated myself for days!
Me too, but like devin said, the first few you can charge like almost nothing so they cant really say anything if you screw up, and you'll be getting more expirience also
+Shan Tomouk That's why I'd suggest starting with people you know and who like you. That way you can get familiar with the pace, which is a bit unique but once you have that down you will be much more relaxed.
I agree that starting out with people you know is the way to go. Don't charge them and I actually suggested hiring a professional as a fail safe.
Then just start with a video for free for a couple that doesn't necessarily expect a superb wedding video. That's how I started with my wedding videography and pohtography.
Outstanding video brotha, I'm a full time wedding videographer, it helped me get out of the restaurant industry! I really dig shooting weddings because it's work that will be remembered and cherished not only by the couple, but by their future little ones as well. Thanks for intruducing me to Tyson and his channel, I'll be binge watching it like crazy.
Fantastic video. I used to do video back in the old days but went photo when I lost my B camera, but very similar style with capturing people as people and balancing being invisible with getting the couple comfortable quickly so that you get natural shots and they forget you is there is so, SO important. One thing that I think might have been missing is the idea of having a second camera guy and the importance of knowing weddings in general so you don't miss stuff (or market yourself primarily as highlights).
Certainly can't say enough about the importance of being good with people for weddings though. Way more important than being good with a camera, though both are certainly important.
i totally agree, tyson. i've only done two weddings with a team.. but i feel getting the most natural shots are so much better and REAL. and yea, devin.. glidecam adds so much more than just static shots.. style is key. thanks for the tips!
I filmed my first wedding on the weekend, it was such a challenge and heaps of fun! I have so much respect for people who do it well, it is very difficult.
I love Tyson's work. I have been following Tyson's work since before he was on team supertramp. When I was getting into wedding videos, I would watch his videos for inspiration.
Wow, I didn't realize you guys were wedding filmmakers prior to doing UA-cam. I'm pretty much on the same path of being a wedding filmmaker transitioning to other video work. Everything mentioned in this video is so true and it's great to be able to relate to someone you look up to as a filmmaker. Awesome video!
Glidecam tutorial before i buy the ronin
Your videos are helping big time
Just returned a ronin and a handheld hymnal. It's so much easier to set it up. With the ronin you have to be careful how you store it. Glide can I just lay it on the back seat when going filming. Takes less space. It just takes more practice. Ronin M took me about 3-4 hours to finally get wifi working so I connect it to my phone. Glidecam I would of been filming in minutes! But that's just my personal preference.
+danicmda That's kinda false. My Ronin-M fits in a backpack, takes 3 minutes to setup. I run with the same lens on it, so I don't have to make adjustments. and It's buttery smooth. My other channel is /byrdanthony33
Also, when you price yourself right, you will attract clients that are looking for videographers who find value in their work and have confidence in their product.
So pricing yourself low will typically attract clients who just want a cheap videographer and don't care about how you value your work. That's when you start having some jobs that aren't enjoyable because the clients don't care.
You and your team are incredible. My partner & I want to hire your team to capture our wedding when we get married. I am practicing with a steady cam inspired by you. I am using the Laing P4s as I am a beginner with a steadycam. I will upgrade to your model in the near future if needed. You are a incredible talent and real inspiration Thanks for sharing. I use to shoot weddings for a living during the days of film using a Hasselblad 500ELX and 500CM camera. I enjoyed using film back then but not the digital world has revolutionised everything.
Tyson is the man! I learned a lot from him and have been getting more weddings like crazy. Thank you
I watch the whole 3 a half minute ad to support you ;)
+SurpriseMF Clicking on it is what really supports him! Then just close it right away haha
Was just considering taking on weddings haha, you covered all the bases, thanks!
Really great, helpful video. Thank you.
I rented and used a Glidecam HD-1000 for a wedding I did last fall. It was tricky and 90% of my footage was unusable. But the 10% that did make the cut, it was really worth it.
Devin, could you do a tutorial on working with RAW video? I'd like to see your process.
Very informative
I filmed a few weddings, and have sense worked on a music video and have a few more planned. I found that wedding's are very difficult to do and required so much more time for editing that it almost was not worth it.
Thank you so much! I'll be shooting a wedding in July and I hadn't come up with a solid plan yet :)
I've done this too. It's a lot of pressure don't you think? However you do learn so much
Expanding on this topic, could you please do a video on what made you decide to expand from a one-man crew to the team that you have now? How do you delegate the filming to cover the different angles during a shoot? Thanks!
It's all about the story and details!
Loving the makeshift J you made because the font didn't have it xD
Had a question about the soundtracks for highlight videos, are we prohibited from using copyrighted music even though the wedding was shot for free? I am not sure about the logistics of wedding soundtrack copyrights, I have seen some highlight videos on UA-cam using popular songs
Awesome tutorial Devin & Tyson!
I understand every point in this and I also agree with it that it is a brilliant way to learn, However I can't help but get upset when people say to me "oh weddings are a good way to get into the industry"
Wedding films are an industry and not just a stepping stone, does that make sense?
Loving the tutorials though! Really impressed that you guys aren't charging for them #happyaudience
great video as usual Graham! I did a lot of weddings video in China but then i stop because its time consuming and need a big team (it's a different culture so need to shoot everything from the man's parents and another at the bride's house. etc etc, it was very tired job.
glidecam/beholder for the stabilizer guys? still confused deciding on which one
I discover Glidecam watching your stuff years ago, Devin!:))
What are the usual packages you provide?
How much hours/minute of footage do you end up giving to clients? Especially when you're just beginning?
Love these everyday tutorials!
Glide cam vs. Ronin??? The same but different??? Head to head battle!!!
Great insight and your work looks amazing! I'm looking to film my friends in the sports industry I'm looking forward to that.
Beautiful captions in slow motion! Any specific techniques you used for that in post-production? Not so easy I think to find the smoothest slow motion effects. were those parts filmed in 60fps and slowed down? Thankful for answer :)
Just a question. In the past I've probably turned down 2 weddings due to not having enough lenses. What lenses would you normally run for a wedding?
Do you do a lot of candid shots during those wedding shoots? Or do you do some prompting?
Thanks for the video guys!
Thanks gents!
aaaaaand.... use a camera which can shoot in 60fps or higher so you can use slowmotion...
Which luts do you use..can you please guide something on effects you use...
What is the best lens to shoot the wedding on? Especially on glidecam. You can't balance the glidecam everytime you change the lens, right?
Devin!!! Can you please do a video on music videos and should you film them! I would love to learn about this other aspect of videography! :) Much love.
Devin, I'm interested in export settings you use for youtube.
I've noticed lot of the times i export h.264 (which is suggested codec for youtube, theres even a youtube export preset in premiere), the export gets dull in contrast and colors dont look that great anymore and it gets even worse after youtube upload. I've noticed that your videos look sharp and with very rich colors and contrast.
love the tutorial videos! thanks for these! any chance to give tips on how you CONTROL THE GLIDECAM? I've got it set up, ready to go.. did a shoot and had a hard time controlling the shot.. very challenging. I know it will take practice, but where do you hold the pole? how do you turn the camera so well?
I guess I have question. I'm about to graduate from high school in May and I've been doing photography and video for 3 years now. Now I'm no where near a professional but I just want to know how to get better and make those 2 my career? I love doing both and I just feel like there isn't much time left for me to get in since I'm only 18
Which camera did you use for those wedding shots?
Since the 5DMIII doesn't capture video at 60fps and you're saying you shoot in 60fps..
How to make a DVD with a selection menu :)
Awesome video as allways. Very informative!!
Devin, can you talk about your tripods?
That is some great insight. Thanks for sharing this.
How to Focus
Hey Devin! I have a wedding on the 30th! I've wanted to start including aerial venue shots, Can I have your opinion on this as a filler with macro shots.
50mm on glidecam - how do you get a stable shot with this?
Hey Super sup. How do i can find nice inspirational weddings instrumentals??
how do you figure out how long you make your wedding videos? Do you discuss with them before hand saying how long your video is going to be?
what's the song at the end?
What's the best (not to expensive) camera to shoot weddings in 60fps? Or what camera do you guys usually use?
+MelsLife sony a6000 or nikon 3300, but of course depends on what is not expensive for you, or if you have lenses and all.
What is the best lens to use on a glidecam to get those nice movement shots?
we at "unomásuno historias" love filming wedding...we tell histories from another point of view... Devin all advices and help are welcome if you have 10 extra minutes to look into us.
thanks from Argentina 👍
Can I shoot a wedding without a zoom lens like the 70-200mm or the 18-135? Or do I really need one.
+League of LooToS to focus more on the bride and groom is better to have a bigger zoom lens, or at least a 50mm, don't stick only to wide angels just because it won't look so personal
outro song?
it's called "Higher" by Scott and Brendo :)
thanks
"I shoot in 60 fps because it looks cinematic" - Yes, finally
+Some Random Atoms He talks about slowing it down in post.
60fps in real time does look amazingly bad.
24/25 or 30 fps are the way to go for cinematography.
Shot four wedding videos. Dear god, what an undertaking. I will never do it again. A lot you can learn, but I hated it.
hello! what camera do you use ?
For getting a clients should we go to film school
"that's the money shot"
How many music videos have you produced? How many for free?
Why do people in America like weddings so much?
Where indoctrinated by capitalist marketing schemes since birth!
ovo nisamja I'm danish and asked my American wife the same exact thing.
Devin! Do you use AF or MF when you filming wedding?
Nice info!
I have done a wedding video but i have no idea how to edit it!!! any tips?
+Northern Productions Thanks for the tips man, I finished it and showed the couple about 3 days ago. They loved it and I was pretty proud of the work as well :) They are a nightmare and so time consuming to edit but they are also fun and by far worth it for the experience! Thanks man :)
which film school did you droped out?
Sweet Video!
Hey guys,
For a beginning starting out recording weddings...what camera is the best? I have a 600D but it doesn't have automatic focus while recording :( what's the next step up?
+screenreview The Sony A7s II. The price difference between your current camera and the A7s II is big, but if you get to know how to use the 600D very well and try to get the most out of it, you will eventually come to the point when you know you would like something better. I use the 600D too myself, and I am about to buy a new camera, as the 600D feels a bit limited and i feel like i have gotten every little bit out of it and can not get more. The quality is what is in the way now - it's not that great on the 600D. But you can record some extremely good video with it, if you know how to use it.
GL m8!
matrimoni!
Awesome!!!
Good stuff
i am a wedding filmmaker from india and a lot of time goes into making these films
what stabilizer to buy, If you are on a budget (max 300$)?
look into the glidecam xr-2000 if you're using a dslr.
+Christoph Bueno Thank you!
Alguém fala minha língua
Really inspirational thanks!! @devingraham
Mate I would live a drone could you give one away
pon subtítulos en español :-) :-) :-)
How many filmmakers are on Team Supertramp?
4th
Oh this is a tutorial
Question: if my high school I will go to has a photography or film class should I take it?
Second Comment. Love your stuff Devin!
wedding film school
Lol I did weddings and honestly I stopped my video career because I hated it so much aha
was it the people? I bet it was the people. Some people are easy to work with others are a nightmare especially if you aren't a people person yourself.
+cheddar07 kinda of, no one understood the amount of work that goes into making it, and never appreciated the work. Also I would try and charge accordingly but people would just laugh at how much I was charging and pay me less. Plus some people end up basically telling you how they want the video and you don't get to express yourself creatively.
TheBarthinator this is true, lots of people really don't understand the time and effort that goes into filming and then editing a video. They just think it's as easy as pointing a camera and then putting it on a DVD afterwords. For the past 4 months I've been editing and filming. I don't like the dealing with people side of the work much, but I do enjoy editing which is really what I want to focus on. So we'll see how things go season is almost over. We'll see if I continue with it next year or if I find another way to freelance my editing skills.
Last year I made a wedding video for my mom and her new husband ( at the time I was 14.) It was my first big project! You can check it out on my channel it is the latest video. I would love your constructive criticism.
I sure hope he's not charging $400 for a wedding video these days!!!! That's insanely low!
I wasn't too sure if he meant $400 per video or $400 per hour of shooting (however long it takes to shoot the video).
Weddings aren't glamorous? That's all weddings are. And people aren't using a GlidCam anymore, well anyone that knows better will us a OSMO.
