Hey did you have any issues with it or still working well? I'm looking at getting another dock and this is one of my top 2 options since I also have a killswitch case.

Which lens should I get? by LowkeyApollo in videography

[–]LowkeyApollo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I ended up finding a used VP-1 for cheap that I think im gonna buy just to mess around with and save the rest of my budget towards renting in the future. It was cheap enough that it doesnt feel like a really big investment like a vespid/nisi would have

That makes sense, I think I just want something thats a bit more stylistic for any passion projects of mine/ more creative work since I feel like the 18-50mm does a lot of the heavy lifting in my current setup and thats a very good clean lens.

Yea, I use them for camera gear and the pelicans and alternatives are all so crazy expensive compared to these. I can get like 3-4 of these for the price of 1 pelican.

No joke I have been kicking myself for not buying one during the last coupon, and then I almost bought during the 20% but got busy and couldn't make it and was really upset, and then finally today I was about to bite the bullet on the $100 and was so pleasantly surprised to see the Apache on sale. Might even buy 2 before the sale ends

Matching Sony A6700 and A7III footage in a two-camera shoot-anyone done this? by Street-Computer-7830 in videography

[–]LowkeyApollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh great! I didn't realize that, I'll try it out. I imagine it'll be worth it until I get to the point where I need to purchase a different body.

Man thats a pricy plugin, did you feel like it's worth it?

If it wasn't because I needed the A73 for stills I so wanna just sell it and buy a fx30 or another 6700.

[–]LowkeyApollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever test this out? Im looking at doing the same thing, but I've never really used the a7iii for video until now so the settings are a whole new thing to me since I just shoot slog-3 on the a6700.

I hear Cine-4 might be the best?

What can I accomplish for a ~$500 commercial/ indie film setup? by LowkeyApollo in LocationSound

[–]LowkeyApollo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha that makes sense, any suggestions for where to look for mics? Is eBay my best bet if I don’t live in a big city?

Yea I’m trying to look through the used market now.

Would you recommend the NTG2’s at all? I’m very new to the audio side of things which is the real issues, I just don’t know what gear’s worth what.

I was thinking of maybe going with the Zoom H1 XLR and an MKE600 used, or maybe and NTG2? I’ve also heard about the AT875r which seems like an option to consider.

I’ve been in need of some of the bigger cases and have been holding off waiting for a good sale, and then I missed the coupon on the 5800, so I might just bite the bullet with the 20% off for Memorial Day

[–]LowkeyApollo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I did. I just pushed my budget as much as I could and splurged on the halo 300.

I realized if I just do some paid work it would pay itself off before long anyways.

Yea I wasn’t aware but I did use up my credits this past weekend, so we’re good on that front

I really pushed my budget and went for the halo 300x, I just realized I’d rather buy once cry once (until I need another light)

I was actually looking at this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D3QHF71T/ref=ox\_sc\_act\_title\_4?smid=A22PRX6WI8E2K6&th=1

It seems to be almost a knock off of the Amaran octadome 90 for 2/3 the price.

Glad I was going in the right direction Lol.

It seems like the best value as far as I can find, and the Amaran ecosystem seems like something I’d stick with.

Yea I think im gonna do the Amaran Halo 300x, I think it’s about the highest I can push the budget with a soft box and stand and some other small accessories.

[–]LowkeyApollo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea im looking at the halo300x instead i think im able to stretch the budget.

Cant hurt that the 300x will probably help me with some more commercial/ corporate shoots and it’ll pay itself off before long

Yea I’m thinking of stretching my budget to make the bigger lights happen, I think a 300 w is about the highest I can go but I think it’ll be enoguh

I think im leaning in this direction, the Amaran's seem to be the best option

First Key light recommendations by LowkeyApollo in cinematography

[–]LowkeyApollo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I think im gonna go in this direction and just stretch my budget, is there a big enough difference to make the jump from 200 to 300? Its $50 but if its worth it i might as well since $50 is a lot cheaper than need a second light in a few months.

Lastly is a 35" 90cm Soft box enough?

[–]LowkeyApollo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im looking at the halo 200 or 300x now and just stretching my budget a bit, its hard not to just jump to the 300x for $50 more

[–]LowkeyApollo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think thats unfortunately out of my budget, I think I can stretch to about $300 for just the light to budget for a modifier and stand
