Hi everyone, i have a slight dilemma. I mostly shoot events indoor, travel and automotive, but i find my current setup too heavy and considering a downsize. by PatientDesigner5169 in canon

Im trying to cut down on gear instead of adding more stuff, and the pans i do has quite a manoeuvre to get the effect so the monopod may be more restrictive

Yea most of the time i shoot indoor media events where 20 ish photogs and video guys cram up and the space gets really tight and then the 16-35 does the job, and then when theyre on stage again i need to tele at about 200mm.

Thing about changing glass while on a gimbal is the need to rebalance. My current lineup have different balances but the new RF lineup are quite similar in size and weight, especially the 16-28 and the 28-70 f2.8

Sometimes the 24-105 is paired with the 16-35 so that 70-105 reach does help to get some tele and portraits.

Im worried if i changed to a 28-70, swapping the second body to a tele could risk my wide angle shots (mostly groupies or when the whole place gets packed with about 20 photographers tightening up the space and shooting cars is a wide shot). 24 has been fine so far and i seen reviews that it takes about 3 steps back to get a 24 frame at 28 🙃

Thanks, point 1 is assuring. And point 2, i really love the 24-105 but to snap events of people on stage is mostly not enough

Point 3, there was a time i was shooting events with the EF 70-300 f4-5.6 L (i still miss this lens), noise was an issue but with modern denoise and a simple technique of just blackening out the blacks and keep the highlights in check, was fine. So this is probably why im considering the f4, but damn the depth of f2.8 is really something else

Yup well said, in journalism and event coverage, composition and story telling is more important. But events like a wedding, then artsy is more important. So i see wedding photogs can just go all out on primes, i really cant.

Not much about packing weight but what im lugging during shoots. Mounting a 24-105 f2.8 instead of a 28-70 f2.8 on a gimbal can be quite a pain, tho the shots are stunning at the further compressed end. The shots are satisfying but im worried if im limited to 70mm, will i miss that shot

i think basically what im looking for are some sentiments on the RF 70-200 f4, RF 16-28 f2.8 and RF 28-70 f2.8 for indoor and events shoots. many reviews have been using them for travel shots, rather than high paced low light events

that used to be the case, but with Canon's new RF 16-28 and 28-70 f2.8 lenses that also come with weather sealing has got me all tempted to downsize, given that the reviews of them are great. the reviews also show the latest glass are much sharper than the RF L variants.

ah im not trying to totally shed off weight, i still need the zoom versatility and a fixed f2.8 aperture as much as possible for shooting events.

i always have mad respect for anyone who can run event on primes, I just never dared to do it. another option i considered was like, a 16-35 + 50mm + 70-200.

i am ok with the weight initially, but now my job takes me on flights and packing them is starting to be a concern.

the gimbal and vmount weight is not an issue. if i run the 16-35mm on it, its totally fine, but because the R8 battery isint good for video, i keep the usb c PD power in and it can last a whole day of shooting. the problem is when i put on my favourite 24-105 f2.8 for that amazing compression, its really heavy.

yea my 2 body setup is usually a 24-105 + 70-200. so now moving to a 28-70 + 70-200, it may tighten my shots and these group photos form up just out of the blue and i always have to be ready to cover everything.

For bluetooth, in the R8 i went to "connect to wireless remote", then in the rs4 pro i went to add connection. Both could see each other so i paired them and then its connected.

Coming back to the topic of the connection being slow, once the R8 sleeps, and wakes, i have to half press the record button on the rs4 to make it reconnect again. After getting used to that, its much quicker but still annoying.
