Great choice in glass, very similar to my own kit. I used to shoot weddings a lot and one thing I noticed was to alway keep your rain cover in your kit for the bride or groom to sit on if necessary.
U have a lot of great gear, new to shooting weddings please just let the ppl know in weeding film school the reality of shooting weddings man I love it, this just all started coming together for me lets just say I have to get my gear up, everything I have done has been one man one camera, but this wedding season I'm looking to take this to the next level, I'm glad I found your channel keep up the good work I'm definitely watching
what are you shooting with now? a great little system to get into (In my opinion of course) are the panasonic GH4 cams.. great quality, 4k and affordable, lenses won't break the bank compared to full frame canon lenses, and the optics are awesome too.. and you can even get some adapters to use other brands of lenses as well.
Get an OM-D EM1 MkII and the 12-100 F4 (24-200mm equivalent) and leave all that heavy gear behind. With 6.5 stops of IBIS you can do everything you need nice and smooth handheld!
I am now getting GAS. Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I want it all! That's a nice bag. My Amazon bag is falling apart. I definitely need to get one of the Manfrotto tripods & monopods...or I could just rent. No gaffer's tape?
I had the exact Incase bag for almost 7 months, and I gotta say it is an amazing bag!! I too carry my camera and lenses in there and carry all over the place.
i always have an H1 for prep just in case theres audio from a letter or card that needs to be captured and i just use my videomic as the backup for that since the H1 with a lav is always much more clear. i think my 100mm macro is my fav lens, its so good crisp for close up prep shots, and with the small size and IS its the best walk around lens for receptions and ceremonies on a monopod. i like these videos though, you should do one for first shooter gear, id love to see more on your audio and lighting!
Do you own any ND filters? Do you feel that these would be, or are, useful, for you, on a wedding day? Or do you just step down your aperture for the sake of DOF in order to set the correct exposure? I say they are a need, but my friend insists on never using them.
HI well done. Suggest to u to carry some First Aid like bandages alcohol antiseptic and etc in minute quantity.. This may come in handy and necessary and save u from a bad day like small cut and insect bite. Take care my friend.
Really appreciate that! It's so nice being able to carry so much gear on your back isn't it? Plus it's the expensive and delicate gear that you want to keep close and safe.
I'm confused about why you refer to Video fluid heads as "Ball Heads"... I didn't see a ball head in your bag. I saw a Manfroto 500av, and what looked like a 502, and the fluid pan on the bottom of the monopod, but couldn't see a "Ball Head" anywhere in your kit. Did I miss something?
i am new to photography ... its like a sea the deeper you go the more you discover ,,,, and btw i like wt u have.. i have 5D mark iii 70 to 200mm and 50mm 1.4 and 85mm lens with a tripod and few more accessories which i don't know off :P actually i got every thing as a birthday gift so....
You actually shouldn't have the battery in the camera. Its not really that bad but if you leave it in there for more than like 2 weeks without turning it on it can ruin the battery and battery port.
hi, i want to start shooting weddings, have some gear already but now i am thinking about stabilization. if you could buy only one of those glidecam or a monopod what would it be?
Kraig :Hello, I just recently got through your channel. You have a nice set of gears in there. Can you please give a little details about the support roller bag with which you started the video. It's a very organised bag. I'd love to get one. Already subscribed to your channel.
I CLICKED THE LINK AND WENT TO THE SITE BUT THERE WAS NO GEAR LIST WITH ANY LINKS????? BUT I WAS MOSTLY INTERESTED IN THE ROLLING GEAR BAG WHERE DID U GET IT THANKS
NEXTDIRECTIONSTUDIOS sorry, my website has recently been updated and the gear list is no longer available. Here is the $300 Temba roller bag tho! bit.ly/1KiJ1iJ
Great videos. 1. I didn't see you mention using any lights or (camera mounted portable light) in case of low lights situation. Do you use any? If so, when and what type. 2. Also do you use handheld rig or shoulder rig?
he's second shooting. first shooter will bring lights. sometimes you don't need lights for weddings, just fill and background lights. glidecam. i don't use shoulder rigs for weddings because they are big and cumbersome
Mary Thomas Typically DSLRs allow for more control over the image as compared to camcorders. The large sensor in DSLRs also allows for more creative control over the final image pertaining to depth of field and dynamic range. They are usually smaller and easier to rig for the situation, meaning that I can use glide cams, sliders, monopods, tripods with ease. What are you using? Great question, thanks Mary!
i am very new to the video world....and i just purchased the ifootage slider....what's your opinion on that slider!?........also do you knowe if there is a maual pan system like the Konova master pan....as the motorised one for the ifootage is very expensive???
Hey, Kraig. I've noticed you don't use mirrorless cameras on your weddings. Is there a reason for that? Whats your opinion on shooting video with mirrorless cameras? Thanks. Love your videos, very informative
+Nick Dementyev Yeah, I have tried everything under the sun but choose to stick with Canon DSLRs. They're just so quick and easy and people who know how to properly use them can still get great image quality. I'll move on eventually but for now I'm chill. I do appreciate the size of mirrorless cameras, it would be nice to shed some size and weight on camera rigs... especially for weddings, which honestly don't require that crazy of equipment kits. Thanks Nick! What do you shoot with?
+Wedding Film School thanks for the reply. I've actually just got Sony hxr mc2500 and I'd like to see the difference between a camera and video camera and figure out if that's a better option for me. I'm shooting long shots and thinking it'll be a better option to do it with video camera that's made especially for video. Will see what the result is going to be
Hi! You use the Canon 6D rather than the 5D MK III. I'm looking to upgrade from a T3i. Are there anything that are major drawbacks with the 6D (Moire, headphone jack etc)? Is it worth paying over £1000 for the 5D MK III Thanks
***** Well, congrats on upgrading your camera arsenal! It's always fun to get new toys to play with but always make sure to remember that it's not the camera that will improve your work the most. Improve every aspect when possible! With that said, I love the 6D. I would always use the 5Dmkiii when given a choice between the two but the 6D really is the most bang for the buck. You can get them super cheap right now so jump! If you're really unsure between the two consider renting both and trying them out before making the purchase. Hope this helps! Thanks!
Hi Kraig, I am from India and as you might guess, the weddings here are very different than in the US. I didn't understand what you mean by 1st Shooting, 2nd Shooting etc. Can you please help me understand?
So the main videographer who gets the wedding job is the 1st shooter. But maybe he decides he needs another person to help him out and get some shots that he can't get because he can't be in 2 places at once. So that person he takes along with him is called the 2nd shooter!
Hi Kraig, is it possible to put that list up of your equipment again, even if it is just in txt form. pls!!! didn't get a chance to make notes on it thanks Mark
markstanley2001 The gear page on our website will be up and running soon! Make sure to check back because it'll have descriptions, pro/cons, and links to buy.
F Riley I have tried everything and yes, the GH line is pretty great. Wonderful look and features for video shooters. Canon is still king but slipping a bit against these micro 4/3rd competitors. I have been looking at getting a Canon C100mkii but it is super $$$$$$
hey man, on your gear page of your site i cant find the 24-105. Did you replace it? Also i see teh 18-135mm. I have this lense. I always thought and found (maybe because of my 1100d) that this lenses was a really low budget lense. What do you think about this lense (i am a student with small budget)
Anand .Sie Hello Anand, thank you for taking the time to email. It’s always nice to hear that we’re helping in some way and it’s my pleasure to answer any questions you might have. So yes, I agree that the 24-105mm is great for people starting out because it eliminates the need to switch lenses while shooting, which slows you down. Being focused on what is happening in front of you is more important than switched around with gear. Most lenses can give really high quality images when in good light. What makes a lens better is its ability to be good in diverse shooting situations, meaning low light and such. The 18-135mm can be good but falls a part at the reception in low light. The 24-105 is better but the price difference between it and the kit lens doesn’t make up for the small difference in quality. Hope this helps man. Send any other questions or tweet me @wedfilmschool on twitter. Thanks!
+HDVidVault 1st shooter is the main photographer at a wedding. second shooter is for backup, but still a professional. 3rd can even be a family member with a family camera...
that lens is decent. but there are definitely better choices out there.. I'm betting he got it as a kit with his 6D. Not that its a bad lens by any means.. but its notorious for having bad vignetting and not being as sharp as it should be.. that being said, I've used one before (which belonged to my video guy) and my results were sharp.. however on its own its a bit pricey IMO, and you can get cheaper primes, or just save a bit more for a 24-70 f2.8.
Hey, Madison. I noticed he didn't answer your question, but I've used a 24-105 on a glidecam before. Nothing wrong with it. I would just keep it all the way wide at 24 and make sure the IS is on. It's a heavier lens, so depending on what you use as a camera you made need to use most of the weights that come with it. A glidecam HD 2000 would be good enough. You don't need the 4000 unless you have a heavier camera like canon's C line cameras, or a RED, etc. I would just do a ton of research on balancing them and techniques before doing that, but seeing as it's almost April I'm sure you already shot your wedding. Curious as to how it went.
to make a full living out of this isn't easy, some will achive this, but it might take a while to get in that world, depence also where you live and how active people marry on that location, i live on a European Holiday Island in Spain, there are many weddings going on here nearly all the year, a great place to be
i shoot with the g85 an upgrade from the g7, mostly the ibis in the body and slightly better lowlight performance, great camera for moviemaking and also for weddings, i use the g7 on the tripod, stunning camera nothing wrong with that and a very usefull tool for weddings, but ofcourse it depence on how to handle that cam, i saw some great stuf on the web done with the g7!
It is basically an assistant, my dad is wedding photographer and often has a 2nd and 3rd shooter. They don't just stand around and help him, they usually shoot other things that might not be as crucial but still are necessary i.e. the 1st shooter would photograph the Bride, her getting ready, etc. where as the 2nd shooter might go off and shoot the groom. So at the end of the day they are there to help which would be an assistant....
We shoot a Nikon D700 and D7000. We have never used the video function on either camera. When we book weddings, our clients are always asking about videographers so we want to incorporate it into our packages. Check us out on Facebook at Azzarelli photography if you get a chance. Your videos are incredibly helpful!
Mary Thomas Makes sense to add video if you're willing to learn how to do it. I've seen people add photo without knowing exactly how much work it takes, like-wise with adding video. Make sure you do your homework! Thanks for watching.

what are you shooting with now? a great little system to get into (In my opinion of course) are the panasonic GH4 cams.. great quality, 4k and affordable, lenses won't break the bank compared to full frame canon lenses, and the optics are awesome too.. and you can even get some adapters to use other brands of lenses as well.

Merry Christmas!
Just watch this video again to get the model of your tripod. Great and super helpful video!!! Thank you!
Awesome :) would love to see a video of what you take for solo shoots
I would add a shoe mounted rechargable LED fill light, or an LED ring light for close portraits, and also a wireless lav kit.
I had the exact Incase bag for almost 7 months, and I gotta say it is an amazing bag!! I too carry my camera and lenses in there and carry all over the place.
Are you still using it? I'm looking into buying the same bag but want to make sure it'll last
yes!! Still using it! It's my to-go bag!
+E r i c エリック awesome ordering right now thanks for the reply

You actually shouldn't have the battery in the camera. Its not really that bad but if you leave it in there for more than like 2 weeks without turning it on it can ruin the battery and battery port.
Why not the 701 for a more portable slider head?
How many batteries and memory space do you go through on average during a typical wedding? say a 9-10 hour day
Garrett Chappell I would say that with 2 people and 3 cameras, 7-8 batteries and about 70-80GB of footage recorded as IPB compression on Canon DSLRs.
Dude why don't you have links in this video for the items?
There is one link to the updated list of everything.

Very nice bags, I come from China, and I own factory made kinds of bags ,include camera bag and backpack.
This set up is creepily similar to mine lol.
would you recomend a panasonic g7 for a wedding because i can get two for the price of one a6300.
HØWŁ I love my G7 and have been using it on wedding shoots
I got an a6000 instead for stills and photography im going to get a g7 for video well 2 of them so I can shoot weddings.
i shoot with the g85 an upgrade from the g7, mostly the ibis in the body and slightly better lowlight performance, great camera for moviemaking and also for weddings, i use the g7 on the tripod, stunning camera nothing wrong with that and a very usefull tool for weddings, but ofcourse it depence on how to handle that cam, i saw some great stuf on the web done with the g7!
Update this? :)
Lights?
he's second shooting. first shooter will bring lights
Your never a first shooter?
thats not a ball head
its a fluid head
Did I miss something here? Where is the flash?
lmao
what is a second shooter? first shooter? third shooter???? someone answer me quickly please D;
***** no i didnt 😭
First shooter is the main shooter (The boss). Second and third shooters are their assistants.
not assistants just people who shoot as well
They don't help the 1st shooter, they shoot as well
It is basically an assistant, my dad is wedding photographer and often has a 2nd and 3rd shooter. They don't just stand around and help him, they usually shoot other things that might not be as crucial but still are necessary i.e. the 1st shooter would photograph the Bride, her getting ready, etc. where as the 2nd shooter might go off and shoot the groom. So at the end of the day they are there to help which would be an assistant....
you got to be good with nothing to be great with something
got the Incase because of you lol
It's a fluid head, Not a ball head lol.
that's what I said.... a Manfrotto 502 is a Fluid Head. not a ball head.
We shoot a Nikon D700 and D7000. We have never used the video function on either camera. When we book weddings, our clients are always asking about videographers so we want to incorporate it into our packages. Check us out on Facebook at Azzarelli photography if you get a chance.
Your videos are incredibly helpful!
Mary Thomas Makes sense to add video if you're willing to learn how to do it. I've seen people add photo without knowing exactly how much work it takes, like-wise with adding video. Make sure you do your homework! Thanks for watching.
very organised! and chapstick and chewing is very important! nobody likes a smelly camera man
How have i found your comment coincidentally ahah! Trustt! I'm buying this bag!
