I recently upgraded to the Canon R50 with a Nisi 9mm f/2.8, love the sun flare on this lens. Also highly recommend the Benro Geared Head, absolute precision, much improved workflow. And now with the R50, I can shoot in 4K @30fps with no crop, slow it down to 80% in post and it yields cinematic results. I had to train myself to do slow movements after almost 2 decades of shooting college and pro sports. Did a lot of hand held camera for Islander games and world news now at abc way back when. Miss the ole barn, the Nassau Coliseum was great. Anyway, I really enjoy watching your RE videos, they're among the very best! 👍
Thanks man! Yea I’ve seen my bruins play the islanders a few times at the coliseum. I have the Benro geared head also, I use it for my interior photography. 👍 I recommend that head to people as well, good call by you. I shoot a lot of my RE videos on a slider now also. I shoot it at 4k30 full frame and don’t even have to slow the footage down usually. Love it! Thanks for the comment!
it was very helpful, thank you
I can't believe the creator of my #1 reference RS videos just came up with this EXACTLY when I just geared up and began shooting my first practice video. I haven't even started to watch and I know I'm going to learn tons! THANK YOU Brian!
Enjoy! Any questions just ask! Also, let me know if there is another video you would like me to make.
Great video! I bought the Laowa for the Canon M50 aps-c shooting real estate photos and videos after returning several that were just inadequate for RE, and frankly weren't nearly as good. The Laowa is a phenomenal lens, a real estate powerhouse. I definitely prefer a manual, just set it to infinity and most everything is in sharp focus.
There is no need to invest in a full-frame camera with another lens that could be as much as $4,500. With the Canon M50 and Laowa 9mm f2.8, all in I'm at $775. For under $800, you can have amazing and more importantly, professional results.
Great to hear! Yes its an amazing lens for the price!
@@brianphelps2506 Can you tell me if this is at its absolute sharpest set to infinity??
@@JeepTJWheelin Yes. I have not had any issues with sharpness with his lens set to infinity on the Sony A74
@@brianphelps2506 👍
Such a great informative video, thank you for being so open and honest about your set up!
Great video. Very detailed guidance. . Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback. I will go more in depth in the next video. 👍
With the Canon M50 not known for its great low light capability, I have found shooting in 1080p @24fps and shutter @1/50 yields better results for this camera body coupled the Laowa 9mm f2.8, and find the exteriors look crisper at f/8 - 9, but the interiors are definitely shot at f/2.8. It's true what they say, know your camera.
Yes indeed. Interiors I always try to shoot at 2.8. Exteriors I find myself between f8 and f11 for wide angle shots. If I try to do a more detailed shot outside (50-85mm) I will go heavy ND to shoot at f4.5 so its a totally different look and feel compared to the wide angle closed down shots.👍
Thank you Brian
Solid advice look forward to more
Thanks a lot! Let me know what you would like to see next.
Amazing content Brian 💪🏼💪🏼
Keep them coming!!
will do! let me know what you want to see next!
Hey Brian. Thanks for this in-depth video.
What did you mean by setting at infinity, please?
Setting the lens focus to infinity. This way everything is sharp when you do your wide angle walkthroughs. Thanks for watching!
Great job
And by the way what is the best number customer Kelvin for WB you filmed in interior with the daylight.
Hey can you do el video how are you color grade
My Nigga, i am proud of what you do
Thanks my friend. 👍
Hi Brian, great videos. Will you ever do a video on your premiere grading? I’m sure you tweak some things after the phantom lut. Your whites looks incredibly good.
Thanks for the comment Jon. I plan on doing a lot more video this year. I just have been really busy with work so I haven't gotten to it. But yes I will do grading videos its on my list for sure! Yea, i first balance my footage out in log then apply the lut i want to use for the video. Then I just tweak it a tad from there, depending on what I am going for. I hope you stick around for future videos.
@@brianphelps2506 thanks Brian! Yes I’ll be sticking around. Would love to see how you get those whites so white! I hate when the camera white balance picks up so much yellow 🤢
@@JonLinton_ make sure you are dialing the white balance in with kelvin white balance. Then adjust your highlights more to the blue side if your still getting yellow in your highlights.
Nice video, thanks. I’m also running the a7iv and using a Sigma 14-24 for my interior work. What focus setting do you use?
That's a nice lens I have that one as well. I usually set my focus manually. Sometimes when im using my Sony 24-70 for detail work, I will use the focus tracking. It works really well. But if your doing wide angle walkthroughs, id set it manually. Or you can autofocus on the back wall furthest from you, then click the lens into M. Then just do your shot. Hope this helps a bit.
Dude you’re awesome
thanks man really appreciate the kind words.
Awesome video man! Ive been shooting real estate for a while and still learned something new! What do you edit on?
Premiere pro. But I’m thinking of switching to DResolve maybe. Thanks for the compliment!
You set the aperture to 2.8, the shutter speed is fixed, ISO to 800 or 3200 base. How do you regulate the exposure then? Do you always use an ND filter?
Inside i am always at 2.8 for my wide shots. 4k60 so im at 125 shutter speed. So yes, i regulate my exposure by my ISO using my native ISO's as much as possible, 800 and 3200 for A74. Outside i raise my f stop if needed to stay at the 125 shutter with 800 ISO if possible. I also use ND filters when needed especially doing my detail shots. Those i want as wide open as possible so i always use ND's. I have the links below to what i use. Sorry if i wasnt clear. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Love your content! Your videos come out so crystal clear. How do you go about shooting for instagram reels since it’s vertical?
most of my agents shoot them with a phone. I personally dont get into it much but your phone is perfect.
Thank you. Quick question, do you ever adjust your shutter speed?
@@robtherealtortx I try to always stick to the 180 rule. I will add ND's if need be
@@brianphelps2506 what ND do you recommend? I have the laowa 9mm and a 16-35.
@@robtherealtortx 16-35 is a bigger filter size. So you would get a set of ND filters for that lens and then get a set of filter step up rings. If you think your eventually going to get a new lens with a bigger filter size maybe get the filters for that and then get the rings. You can get a variable ND if you want, or get a set of a few that you will have to change according to how much ND you need. I personally still use the multiple filters and change them out. Up to you though.
Hi Brain, how do I avoid flickering in my videos with the lights.
Also what ND Filter do you use?
With the Sony A74 it has the variable shutter. So you can dial in the shutter speed exactly to get the lines out. I use tiffen ND filters also. Thanks for watching!
do you use polarizers? if so which one?
I do not
Thanks for the guide .. In terms of WB can you recommend any tools that my help?
Glad you enjoyed it. Just so i understand what your asking, what do you mean tools? You could use a gray card in a test shot so you can do an easy color correction in post. I just prefer to use kelvin on my camera and set in per room. Never auto white balance because you will see it changing in the video as you go room to room. If your shooting slog3 and cant see the white balance, get a monitor and program your favorite luts in it. This way you see everything exactly how its going to look. Sunny outside i usually run with 5300 to 5600. Mixed lighting inside im usually around 4000k. All artificial warm lighting inside im somewhere around 2800 to 3000k. Hope this helps, im here if you have any more questions.
heyy i saw you use the lowa 9mm, do you try the 9mm nisi?
Hey Melvin. No I haven't, have you?
I’m still confused. You put a lot of emphasis on opening the lens up to let in light but the lens you are using is APS-C which means you aren’t using the full sensor. I’m not criticising, your picture quality is stunning, I simply am assuming a full frame lens would give you better low light performance.
Sorry for the confusion. I am shooting on the Sony A74 in 4k60 for my wide angle walkthroughs. That camera has a super35 crop in 4k60. So that's why I use the 9mm laowa lens because I'm in APS-C mode in 4K60. You don't have the option to shoot in full frame in 4k60 on the a74. When I switch lens to get tighter shots, I shoot a lot in 4k30 so i use full frame lenses then because your able to shoot full frame in 4k30. If I shoot in 1080 60fps or with another camera like the A7S3 i have the Laowa 12mm and thats a full frame lens. Sorry for the confusion, I hope this helps. Any other questions please just ask.
@@brianphelps2506 I see. I’m using an a74 myself using a full frame 15mm voigtlander but I only shoot in 1080. Thanks, I think I’ll try your method. Thanks.
when you use the 50mm at 4k 60fps, it is then a 75mm? is this normal for you, or do you use a 35mm then?
If you did use a 50mm lens in 4k60 it would be 75mm correct. I usually use the 24-70 gm2 for my details because it’s more versatile with the zoom and I can get done faster. But when doing those tighter shots, a lot of times I’m on a slider shooting at 4k30 with no crop. Hope this helps.
What would you do if you want to shoot photos with the a74 and laowa 9mm ... Would the cropped 14mp fotos enought ?
I never shoot photos with that lens. But sometimes with other lenses I zoom in with crop to get a tad closer with real estate. Its totally fine for that. What are you shooting? Interiors?
@@brianphelps2506 I am starting my real estate photography business ... Why won't you shoot with 9mm and if not what lens would you use ?
@@ananthums8970 For me I have many reasons. I want the full frame and full resolution first off. I do a lot of work for interior designers, architects and builders. They want higher res files and I want them to look the best they can. I also would rather have auto focus for photos. Only manual lenses I shoot with for photos are my tilt shift lens for architecture. I love the 9mm for video, thats its only use for me but try it out for photos and see what you think!! Always test! I use the Sony GMII 24-70, sigma 14-24 art , sony 80mm (for tighter details when needed) Canon 24mm Tilt shift and the laowa 12mm with the magic shift converter (makes it a 17mm tilt shift lens). That's pretty much what I use on a regular basis. I always want to take advantage of the capabilities of the camera and squeeze everything I can get from it. I hope this helps but at no means do you have to do what I do. If you have the 9mm, test it out and see if its enough for you. IF you want to see samples of the camera and those lenses work, visit my website. Lightlinemedia
Oh thanks for the the detailed reply mahn ❤️
I have a 24 - 70 equivalent lens with me ... The only ultra wide angle lens that I have is a laowa 9mm ... I hope that gets the job done ... Btw I am using a6400 for my shoots ... Am planning to switch to a74 ... That's y I asked u
Where can I download the Phantom LUT? If you shared I link I'm not seeing it.
Thanks for that. I updated it in the description for you, your going to love them.
@@brianphelps2506 I've reached out to Joel but haven't heard back yet. Are his luts geared toward any particular software? Like Premier, Final Cut, etc? I'm knew to shooting slog for real estate and edit in Vegas Pro 18. I know it's not as popular as the others but I've used it for years. I assume the luts can be tweaked as needed.
@@macmcginnis3180 They are just CUBE files. I never used Vegas so i cant comment for sure. But if it uses standard CUBE files like all the other programs you mentioned, then im sure it would be fine. What camera are you shooting on? You will see the luts for the A7s3 and Fx3, if your shooting on the A74 those are the ones you want to go with. I usually use the neutral lut he has for my real estate videos. But he has some other great ones i use for personal work. The last video i uploaded (video portrait - Toni ann - Yoga) that is using the Eterna Lut. In case you want to see a different Phantom Lut.
@@brianphelps2506 thanks! I just downloaded them. My life is so much simpler now.
@@macmcginnis3180 omg yes! How you liking them? If you have a monitor, put them in that as well. Then you can see real time what your getting on the shoot.
Do you use the átomos Ninja monitor 4K or 8k? Will the 4K work? 8k is kind of expensive
No i would just get the 4k if you want. I am just using it as a monitor. I updated the description with the 4k version if you want to check it out. 👍
@@brianphelps2506 cool thank you
@@DronieBoy yea no problem. Best deal i could find lol
what if I don't have a camera that shoots log or 10bit because I can't afford the sonys right now( north of $3000 ) any hopes of shooting great shots like yours? Can you talk a little more about your gimbal moves and settings as I feel that's the major play factor for interesting and smooth real estate videos vs buying the most expensive camera ( no matter how great the gear is, if footage is jittery or not just interesting like yours, it don't mean a thang!! )
100%!!!!!! Just get a camera that shoots 60fps. My gimbal moves are slow, look up gimbal ninja walk you will find tons of videos. Smooth walk and use simple moves. Push ins, pans ect, just focus on being clean at first. Then take that footage and put it on a 30fps timeline. That will give you that smooth buttery feel. As far as cameras go, maybe look into getting a Sony A73. You can find them for 1600 or cheaper used. Then just use 1080p 60fps. Then later down the line grab a A74 or A7s3 once you outgrow your camera. I will say this... I used to shoot with Nikon cameras, and the video quality was nothing like my Sonys. But, you can still get great footage with it. The Sony's have superior highlight roll off. You get better highlights to shadows. Also is much easier to color grade and looks amazing at high ISO unlike the nikon. I have a video on here that i shot with a Z6 (in 10bit 422 color going through atomos ninja V), i will link it below. But if you are asking for my opinion and you don't have a body yet, go Sony. I wish i did earlier. But whatever you get just make sure it shoots in at least 60fps.

@@brianphelps2506 Thanks Brian, Those videos are inspiring.. Yeah, considering the sony although there's been alot of pressure from youtubers to consider canon(c70, r5c etc... ) but I kinda dig Sony a little more cuz of its DR.. But do consider making a BTS video (with an emphasis on your gimbal moves ) and some editing sessions
@@joshmcdzz6925 yes, i will have some bts and editing videos coming soon.
@@joshmcdzz6925 you said you didnt want to go north of $3000. Both the c70 and r5c are more then that. Canon is a great system, you might be in the R6 line if your south of $3000. But one thing to consider is the files on that camera are a bitch to edit. Take a look around and see what people have to say about it, great camera but you have to consider that if your a video shooter. What body to you have now?
@@brianphelps2506 Plus, for realsies, I cannot tell the difference between the nikon and the sony after watching both.. I feel skills speaks far more volume than camera/lens ( editing skill and gimbal skill - 2 of the most important skills ). Yours are top notch..
What lut do you use for your videos?
In this video i used the Phantom Neutral lut. I have the lut that I plan on using installed on my atomos ninja. This way I can monitor the footage with the lut applied in real time. 🤙
@@brianphelps2506 so you will use that phantom lut for the Sony a74 slog 3 correct?
Do you mind sharing the the lut that you have installed on your átomos ninja?
@@DronieBoy Here is the link for the phantom luts. You get all the luts when you purchase, they are amazing. Some of my other videos on here you can see different style luts from the lut pack. The last yoga video i uploaded was with the Eterna lut, in case you want to see another style. Not sure what camera you have, but if you have the A74 just get the A7s3 luts. Here is the link... www.joelfamularo.com/colour
@@brianphelps2506 I own the sony A74 as well. Thank you
Have you tried pro res with the atomos or do you use xavc?
Atomos won’t record raw with a74. I only use the atomos for viewing when shooting. I usually shoot in XAVCS 4K for all my projects.
@@brianphelps2506 Thanks for getting back. Can it shoot pro res 422 or any of the other codecs?
@@lavishlinks6607 no. If you get the A7s3 that will do 16bit raw and pro res 422 through atomos ninja. To be honest I love the files coming right out of this camera. Easy to edit and they look amazing. If you want raw, then go a7s3. I love that camera also but the a74 has some benefits over the a7s3 for what I do.
Great job
And by the way what is the best number customer Kelvin for WB you filmed in interior with the daylight.
