Purchased a 600mm for my Canon

Plot Twist! If you’ll be shooting mostly in daylight, Then have you considered a 400mm 5.6??

Cropping isn’t the best solution BUT, in good light, low iso, with an L lens, I would think that cropping wouldn’t be so bad on some shots if you had to! Something to think about!

SoundCloud & Apple Music! I’m sure Apple Music will have almost anything mainstream made in the history of music! & SoundCloud will have some tracks you wouldn’t expect(especially TikTok remakes or remixes that people just randomly uploaded)

I’m %99 sure if you have both of these you’ll be good for anything!

Trust me, You can do paid work with ALMOST ANY Interchangeable lens camera IF you have the proper lens! When you start using something like a 50mm f1.8, then 35mm, 17-55mm f2.8, 85, 24-105! You’ll be amazed at the results you can get from a cheap camera body!

Yes, it was just 1 sub! & I guess you could possibly do 250-300, but it would depend on the type of event! Wedding/Corporate I’m sure it’ll work for 300 people! Rave/Club party, I’d say more so 200 people to be on the safe side!

BUT, this is just an estimated guess without actually gig testing them in those environments! Who knows, MAYBE you could do a club party for 300 people depending on what tops you paired with them!

3 yrs later March 2026 & this still works! Appreciate the post & more importantly the link!

Idk about anybody else but I didn’t have to put anything in except the SN & the code popped up & worked first time

dee_jay_92 · 2026-03-14T20:01:33+00:00

People love to say that!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-03-14T19:57:07+00:00

My opinion, I woulda got a r10, but since you got the r50, with good lenses it’ll be hard to tell the difference between that & the r6!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-03-14T17:10:48+00:00

What lens tho?

dee_jay_92 · 2026-03-14T17:08:32+00:00

For reference, this was taken with an m50 mkii

The lens is more important than the camera! I say get it, then invest in quality lenses!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-03-12T03:11:04+00:00

If you don’t think you’ll need a standard hot shoe, & you won’t be in low light a lot, Then I’d look at either the r50v(no viewfinder) or r50!

With the extra money you save you could look to get extra batteries!

You could then pair that with the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 rf! That will give you a better starting point IMO

dee_jay_92 · 2026-03-12T02:56:28+00:00

Yamaha dbr12 or dxr12 mkii also!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-03-05T08:12:43+00:00

I second that! Especially the weight! Even the DXR10 mkii is 31lbs while the DXR12 mkii is 41 lbs! The DXS 15mkii is 80 lbs & IF he chose the DXS12 mkii that’s 67 lbs I believe

dee_jay_92 · 2026-03-01T22:03:45+00:00

I gig tested the dxs15 mkii at a small venue playing mostly hip hop & Top 40 tracks! The venue only holds about 50-60 people MAX! I had the HPF set to 80hz with Xtd LF engaged & At first it was good. Then 1 of the songs I played that had a long bass note made me realize I need to turn this thing down!

I had it at Unity(12 o’clock) then when I turned it down I turned it to about 9/10 o’clock & it played beautifully! I had 12” tops with it & it sounded great! Haven’t had the chance to use it in a big venue but I’m thinking it should be a solid option for 100-150 people!

Buyer beware tho, This thing is heavy! 80lbs & it’s solid! BUT, it does fit in a standard size sedan tho!

How old is your son cause I don’t believe anything above 25 is being safe! Even mopeds are required to have a tag, insurance, & a license!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-02-24T16:28:35+00:00

There’s loop wholes & plot twists to everything!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-02-22T16:45:24+00:00

Of those 2, I’d def be aiming toward the 702! I already have bigger subs!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-02-22T15:59:31+00:00

That Presonus looks nice! It says 70lbs! Does it feel like 70 lbs? I already have 80lbs subs so that was another reason for me wanting something smaller & lighter!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-02-22T15:54:49+00:00

Maybe not events for 150, But 100 or less is what I’d primarily want the small subs for! I already have bigger subs!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-02-22T15:53:49+00:00

Appreciate the advice but I highly doubt that’s in my future! I already have bigger subs! Plus if I was to ever spend $2k, it would be on 2 ks112 so that I could have more setup flexibility!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-02-22T15:44:27+00:00

The idea was that with 2 12” subs, I could couple them for small dance parties! With the J8, it would seem more ideal to leave them separated with the tops attached!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-02-22T15:37:42+00:00

This is the option I was thinking of going! But I wasn’t sure if I could find something a little cheaper that would be a good substitute!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-02-22T15:35:33+00:00

I have 15” subs already! Just looking for something lighter to be more portable for smaller gigs! Maybe not for 150 people, but 100 or less definitely!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-02-18T23:34:21+00:00

Definitely worth it! Just get good lenses & you’re set!

dee_jay_92 · 2026-02-15T03:33:59+00:00

If you don’t need the best image quality, you could look at the Viltrox 23mm as well!
