    Straight up.. I'm just now stepping up my photography efforts and am so glad I hit upon your channel.. and while I don't know a damn thing, I got to say this work hits me.. it's polished, sure, but feels real.. it's inviting yet frank.. the persona you present feels genuine.. not everyone can do that.. and I feel like it's 'cause you're just being you.. you seem so comfortable in front of the camera that you come across as casually approachable.. damn how I admire all that.. something's wrong with this world if you're not seeing opportunities pounding on your door!

    With the 3 wheel short stand, use it for your bottom light in a clamshell setup. I use low lights to fill under the chin and a small stand is usefull for that

    Another few dollar ultimate addition to the gear are *wire rope shock absorbers* . You can install one under a camera either on the skate dolly or anything else to make the camera work against the gravity on bumpy surfaces or even a drone.

    @Teasebag Рік тому

    hot shoe mounted top handles are fine on a bare body, wouldn’t use it with a v-lock as well. That’s a lot of rear weight pivoting off a small anchor point that also has electronics inside it. I’d go a lightweight cage if you want a top handle and v-lock.

  • @YorelCairo

    Really cool video in regards to the small light stand on wheels it is actually amazing for photography. Because it is so small and low you can place it behind talent and light up a background or add a rim light without having it in shot which is very useful and is often preferable to booming a larger stand in and potentially getting the subjects shadow on your backdrop.

  • @olewismediagroup
    @olewismediagroup Рік тому

    I got push back on that bro LOL…I own that ambituful light stand and I gotta say it’s one of the better purchases that I’ve made.
    While it’s not that useful to use for a kicker light or key light, it’s perfect for using an eye lighter or strip box to fill in shadows from underneath. I’ve also used it to mount a manfrotto wall mount to use as a computer stand.
    It has its uses, while limited but what I’ve used it for it works perfect.
    Great videos bro, keep ‘em coming.

    @YCImaging Wow that skate dolly really shocked me. Amazing shot. I guess it just goes to show that if you are on that smooth service it comes out superb. Great tip for that one.

    Great review! You actually had a number of tools I've been interested in. The car mount review was on point. I have a two suction cup mount that I've been hesitant to use out of fear it will fall off, but you've given me some confidence to dust it off and create some b-roll.

    • @DanielDiosdado

    I have the first piece I use it. And I don’t use a suction cup mount. And I have a stand that holds a tripod fold up nice. The small rig handle is clutch. I have one and I use it for lights mics. One thing I did might work for you the hand you can mount you camera upside down and as well regular look. Budget grab a pole drill hole mount camera from top handle adds small view. I need a spin table. But good ones are crazy priced.

    I bought one of those roller dollies a few years ago, but it was cheaply made and had seam bumps on the wheels! Had to sand them down, but got rid of it and bought a long camera slider instead.
