Re: Splitting a lavelier
Its much more reliable to simply put your receiver much closer to the body back. I often have to do this at outdoor events.
I'd also get another mic rig on a different frequency group. If there...

Re: no much 7d mark ii talk?
I'm with you, Chris. Every new camera announcement, I check to see if it uses the same touchscreen (and face tracking) as the 70D. We shoot wedding videos, and it has made my life measurably...

Re: Why do some of you use DSLRs?
You'd have to be clear on what you need the camera to do, or want it to do.
Personally, we use multiple cameras, including the 5d Mark ii, for full frame (shallow DOF when we want it, better low...

Re: Why do some of you use DSLRs?
I believe most DSLRs now shoot for 30 minutes, which is very workable, especially compared to the old 12 minute limit (like on my 5d Mark ii, though Magic Lantern helps with that). We use 3 cameras,...

Re: now that NAB is done. (new camara)
I don't know about better but I'm trying to see if the 7d uses a touchscreen. The 70D lets you touch the person's face, then it will track them. Its big issue is probably that its usable iso is...

Re: now that NAB is done. (new camara)
Anytime I get the itch for a new camera I think of what I want it to do. What do you want from yours?
For me, I really like the facial tracking auto-focus on our 70Ds for weddding prep and...

Along with upgrading the software...

Re: Drones at weddings.
For those who haven't stood near one of these when its flying, but along with the noise in general, there is definitely a fear factor, a defensiveness, from anyone not controlling it that is nearby. ...

Re: Shoot high ISO in camera or boost in post?
My understanding was it matters how close to correct your exposure is. For instance, slightly dim is fine, but at some point on the curve, the value of low-noise iso is gone because of how dark the...
