Re: Tripod recs
A friend of mine has the Manfrotto 504HD Head w/546B 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod System. Right now there is a $125 mail in rebate until the end of the year so that the system ends up around $625 after...

Re: Canon 70-200mm F/4 vs. F/2.8 for Ceremony
I just purchased the Canon 70-200mm F/4 for my C100 and I've shot a very small amount of indoor test footage in a room with plenty of light. This first test was to see how much of a difference the...

Re: Tripod recs
I shot on HMC150s for about 4 years (still do for some events) and I have been using the Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Aluminum Tripod. This was recently replaced with the Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum...

Re: Spending money where it matters to brides
I think those are all really great points Adrian and Chris. I've found (oddly enough) that when I show a bride her video, it's very rare that she will mention anything about a technical issue (i.e....

Re: C100 B Cam: XF100 or XA20
Yes my mistake that's correct. The G30 and XA20 have a better processor and are better in low light (among some other improvements). However, from the test footage that I've seen comparing the G20...

Re: C100 B Cam: XF100 or XA20
I own the Canon G20 (which is essentially the XA20 without the XLR inputs) and I've shot weddings where my C100 is my A Camera, my 70D is the B camera, and the G20 is the safety camera. Since the...

Re: Any one only offering highlights?
Hi Kyle,
I had tried to contact you via private message but then I read that they are disabled on this site, so I'm guessing it did not go through. I'm wondering if you can give me some advice as...

Re: What camera will match my C100?
Malcom,
I like how the footage looks when cut together with the C100. I think my decision will depend quite a bit on what the 5D Mk IV has to offer. I just saw a post today that "claims" to have...

Re: What camera will match my C100?
Danny,
That's interesting that the 6D looks sharper to you than the 5D mk III. I assumed that the 5D would be sharper since it costs much more. With the C100 I can raise the ISO to 6400 and then...

Re: What are you using for a safety camera?
I use a Canon G20 as my safety camera because it has decent dynamic range, shoots in 24p native, has manual controls but can also be set to full auto, and it matches very well with my other Canon...

Re: One point of failure vs many?
I think the best way to deal with potential card failure is to have some sort of backup system (if possible). If your camera has a clean HDMI out then an Atomos Ninja Star or Ninja 2 will offer...

Re: What camera will match my C100?
I have heard that the GH4 can match quite well. Unfortunately, I sometimes have to raise my C100's ISO up to 6400 for receptions and I think that's where the GH4 would have trouble matching the...

Re: Defective tape catastrophe, time for tapeless?
I've had great luck with the C100's dual SD card slots as I always make sure to have a card in both slots where one is recording a backup. I've never had an issue with either Card A or Card B, but...

What camera will match my C100?
For this past wedding season I paired my C100 with a Canon 70D and I was not very pleased with the 70D's low light performance (even with fast prime lenses). Most reception venues around here have...

You could try hiding the mic behind some of the fabric (like they do in the movies lol). Looking on Google I found this example that could work:

Re: Canon 70-200mm F/4 vs. F/2.8 for Ceremony
I think at this point I'm confident that I can live without the extra stop of light from the F/2.8 version and go with one of the F/4 versions. I think that in order to decide between the IS and...
