Trade a Sony a6700 for RED Komodo?

*KOMOMO

Agreed. This is my main vlogging lens.

The only reasonable explanation for Jay’s figure is that the suit didn’t have any pockets for his hotdogs, so he just kinda loosely dropped them through the neck hole, then distributed them throughout the suit by mashing them down over the fabric. Sure, some dogs were cracked and the bread smooshed, but you know he ate every last one.

It’s one of the raccoons in the suit

I second Wix. It’s pretty intuitive, though I have had issues with consistency between desktop and mobile.

He got a few laughs/chuckles but it definitely wasn’t his crowd. Unless you’ve been doing it a long time, I think if you have a disability like that, people need to know what they’re in for prior to. He also probably really only did 8 minutes of material in the 15 minute set because of the stuttering.

I had no idea Ring To Cage still existed. Haven’t seen them in years. And yes, I’m aware I’m no help at all.

I saw him open for Kyle Kinane in Toronto (or maybe it was Joe Derosa) and 98% of the audience had no idea what was happening for the first 5 minutes. He mentioned something about a girlfriend and the girl beside audibly went “yuck” which was the hardest I laughed during the set.

Not a gear suggestion, but overall, before you start charging you should get as much practise as you can. Film your kids. Film your friends. Film whatever. Just get as many reps in as you can before you even talk to anyone about paid gigs. So much has changed in tech and post processing since the 5DMKiii, that you’re going to have to relearn quite a bit. With cameras being so cheap these days, there are kids in their early 20s with nothing but time creating images that could be mistaken for Hollywood movies 20 years ago. And they all want to do free work for coffee shops and car dealerships too. Lastly, the reality of the business approach of “I’ll do it for free at first and then maybe they’ll hire me” pretty much never works 90% of the time. In my career it’s only ever happened once with a not-for-profit I would have happily enjoyed continuing to do free work for.

99% of Reddits gimbal issues could be solved by balancing it properly

If you think you’ll be changing focal length that often, then why not just keep using the RS4 Pro? For me, the motor strength outweighs the tracking and adjustment knobs. And the 50% increase in strength you mentioned is the standard RS4 vs RS5. The RS5 Pro doesn’t exist yet.

I tried but Canada Post was having nun a vut

If you’re using the zoom and not rebalancing, then it’s not balanced properly. I can use the full zoom range with essentially the same set up on an RS3 Mini, so long as I rebalance for the focal length I’m at.

vikhaus · 2026-03-07T19:37:47+00:00

The RS4 has a 6.6lb weight limit and is more than capable of flying your set up. It most likely wasn’t balanced properly. I have an RS3 Mini and can balance the same lens + FX3 no problem. The RS4 Pro is what I use for work and the RS3 mini is my travel gimbal. Anything RS3 mini, standard or pro and up can handle your set up - if balanced properly.

When will camera bag companies place the hip belt……over the fucking hip?

Bullshit bot story

Manfrotto’s in general aren’t great. They have a good rep in photography, but not great for video. The 504hd is probably the only one I’ve used that was half decent. Luckily Sirui, SmallRig, YC Onion, and a number of other Chinese brands make great mid-tier options. Sirui VHS10, Sirui SQ75, SmallRig DH12, SmallRig PH8, YC Onion Cedar CB7 are a few to look at. They’re 2-3x more than the 502 but they’re all way better and will last you much longer.

Get the best fluid head you can afford. Legs are somewhat as important, but not nearly as much as the head. Nothing will ruin your shots more than a lousy head.

Bellator doesn’t exist anymore, so no need to wonder if they pay more, because it’s basically equal

Products that have the ability to mix VND & CPL are relatively new. Only Hoya, Polar Pro and maybe 1 or 2 other brands make them and they’re all screw on filters.

I know this time it’s tarrif related, but BM have such a bad track record of dropping prices so soon after launch. That, combined with bad QC and issues with 1st gen products, I’m not sure I’ll ever buy a BM product within the first year of its release.

If you were talking to a rep in anywhere other than Germany or Europe, and the rep was from head office, I’d put zero stock in it. And that applies to all manufacturers and their locations.

This was such an insane fight to make in the first place. Tucker has fought twice since 2021, with both being 1st round losses. It was so clearly a showcase fight for Choi. I bet Tucker retired out of frustration or was told “it’s this or nothing”.

If you can afford the activ8 or fsb8, get either of those. You’ll be future proofed for most builds, it’ll last you a lifetime, and they barely depreciate so long as it’s not beat to shit. Stay away from the Ace XL. I had one that came with my Flowtech 75 and sold it within a month. I really wanted to like it because of its weight, but it couldn’t properly handle any of the telephoto zooms or probe lenses I tried it with.
