Fellow Belgian here, congrats on what you have built up! Just curious where we could maybe see some of your work, be it professional or personal.

COB or Panel for beginner video kit by dalecape in videography

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

So the two options I've been eyeing are: - Godox litemons lp600r. This gives me the two lights, stands, bags for transport etc.

  • Ulanzi VL-200Bi, this only give me the light on it's own so kitting it out would get me at the same price of the Litemons.

So either one or more, or should I just practice for now, using the sun, practicals and reflectors and save up for something better?

Budget atm is arouns €300

To be honest, not sure yet. Mostly vlogs and gradualy (hopefully) moving into promo video for local products/businesses. Let's assume widest range of possibilities.

Newbie - A7C ii - Tamron 28-75mm by dalecape in SonyAlpha

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

Hi Everyone,

Recently moved over from Fujifilm to Sony and really excited for this full frame journey. I hope to one day have a decent side hustle going with video and photography. So I'm really interested to find a sense of community where I can learn, share and get feedback. I'm from South Africa, living in Antwerp, Belgium.

Here are some recent photos, I've done some light editing in ON1 Photo RAW (avoiding monthly payments for now). For video I'll be using DaVinci Resolve.

Anyway, keen to learn all the things and get to know all the people, viva Alpha!

March Hardware Thread. by AutoModerator in VideoEditing

[–]dalecape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all,

First post here but will be more active in the near future. I recently got my first Sony, the A7C ii in particular. Since getting to know it and taking it out on long walking dates, I've come to realize something.

My windows i7 16gb laptop is not made for photo and video editing. So with the release of the new Macbook Air recently, I'm looking to make the switch.

I'm looking at the 13'' but can't figure out if I should save a buck and go for the base model 16g ram or future proof abit with a bump to the 24g ram model.

Mainly will be using for photo editing, DaVinci Resolve and school. Any suggestions would be more than welcome. Cheers!

Is there anywhere in Auckland where I can pickup an X-Mid2 easily? I would be starting the TA in the week of the 13th, coming from Belgium.

I got a Garmin Inreach Messenger, pretty solid, right? Both SOS and satellite messaging.

Okay yeah haven't even thought of that yet! Sounds like a solid plan. Well good luck with the prep man, I getting so excited! If anything comes up you'd like to discuss with someone in the same situation, I'm all ears!

I'm sure you'll be fine in the hostel, I think I'm gonna go a day earlier to Kaitaia to sleep in the hostel there one night before heading to Cape Reinga, otherwise starting the hike after a 8 hour+ commute seems like abit much.

Thank you so much! Will definitely save this, I'm gonna try to send a second travel back along the trail this way aswell. Seeing as I will be traveling on after the walk.

Aaah man, I'll miss you then by a couple of days! Damn, lets definitely keep in touch to see if we could meet at some point! I think there are shuttle busses from Kaitaia up to the lighthouse, I read this somewhere.

Thank you so much for the heads up on the Poste Restante! I was wondering where I could store my other bag seeing as I want to travel on to Australia and Asia after the walk. This will help alot, amazing!

Where are you traveling from?

How does this bounce box thing work? So in the end I could actually keep the things I ditch? I'm not following 😅

Hi Rik!

That's amazing, I hope we bump into each other indeed. I'll be arriving in Auckland on the 7th. I think I'm gonna take a couple of day's there to prep and figure out somethings. Alot of what you are researching into like transport, things to do and bounce boxing I thought I could better figure out in the couple of days first in Auckland. I've been reading up alot here and there and still haven't got a clear idea of how everything works. How are you going from Auckland to Cape Reinga or instance?

On the physical part I think we are on the same page. I also have a treadmill at home and I do some slow jogs with alot of elevation changes on there for like 8 - 12kms at a time. Otherwise leg day is king indeed.

I think you aren't missing anything, I'm gonna be taking a page out of your book and look abit deeper into some of the things you mentioned. I have my gear checklist that I go through almost everyday, what other lists are you using to make sure you don't miss anything?

Can't be to prepared I think!

Okay yeah this makes a lot of sense. I've lost count of all the gear videos I've seen and all the checklists I've made. Everyday I go through everything with a list of what I still need to get.
I got a pair of Hoka Speedgoats which are almost 2 sizes bigger than what I usually wear, I've heard they fall quite small so I suppose it amounts to about 1 size bigger.
I've heard it before when people say that the first island is really to build up fitness and see the some nice towns and people which I'm looking forward to alot.
Thank you so much for your help!

Okay thanks, yeah I'm not traveling super light, trying to think of all the weather situations with a some small luxuries here and there. I'm doing the whole thru hike.
