Re: upselling vs downgrading
Ah, I'd forgotten about the 'ceremony only,' though I only offer that on short notice, or if I'm their DJ. True enough on the rest, though.

Re: upselling vs downgrading
The studies show two or three choices both work. If you already have 3 packages, the easiest way to raise your prices is to drop your cheapest option entirely, or replace it with a new, most...

Re: One point of failure vs many?
Correct, though there is always the regression to the mean. If you flip you start flipping your coin, maybe you start with 8 'heads' in a row, which is statistically unlikely, but possible. The...

Re: My first wedding
A nice first effort, and it depends on what kind of wedding videos you want to make, what changes and improvements you'll have to work on.
More audio from throughout the day is a big one for me....

Re: DJI Inspire 1 - 4K Quadcopter
Mike, isn't this the quadcopter that they specifically say the camera is swappable, so that its upgradable?
I think the criticisms are spot on, though that is one thing they did right.

Re: One point of failure vs many?
Adrian, the correct probability is always the same. If a card fails one out of 1000 times, that will stay true.
Then, the chance that two of your cards will fail at the same time is 1/1000X1000,...

In a different article, it stated simply that the FAA can regulate their flight, so stay below 400 feet, and don't endanger people or property.
Pirker's attorney(s) are quoted as saying, "The more...

Re: Beach Wedding - Mic off Groom
I haven't had it howling, though it was very brisk, to put it politely.
I used a pocket recorder on the groom, who, instead of a suit, wore a button up linen shirt, no tie. *sigh* His collar...

We don't use it, but off camera light to fill the space, like the dance floor, is my preferred way. We've got two wide, dimmable lights with stands, and then two narrow lights, also on stands or...

Re: Gopro4 black and a Feiyu g3
The big question, then: for someone buying a GoPro soon, is the 4 worth it, at $500? Looks like the 3+ Black is still $350 so its only $150 difference for 4K and better low light, right?

Re: Sigma 18-35 F1.8 -Absolute Magic!
Except that, because a crop factor has a smaller sensor, and thus reads less light, if you wanted the same exposure settings, the same brightness to your image, you'd still have to factor the crop...

Re: Canon 70-200mm F/4 vs. F/2.8 for Ceremony
Michael,
we get micro-vibrations from 1) touching the camera, 2) walking near a camera with certain floors, and 3) using the auto-focus and non-STM lenses.
For instance, I have two different...

Can anyone tell me if the waypoint auto-flying will also allow you to assign camera changes in advance?
For instance, I'd love to be able to pre-assign a route like the show-off video where the...

Re: Canon 70-200mm F/4 vs. F/2.8 for Ceremony
The facial tracking is the best! Especially for the processional and recessional. I usually have an STM lens (smooth on the focus) at around 28 or 40mm and, from up front, track everyone as they...

Re: Canon 70-200mm F/4 vs. F/2.8 for Ceremony
For anytime you NEED to have any depth of field, I'd target f/5.6 or higher. I have gone down to f/4 in a pinch, but then have to pick who will be in focus.
f/2.8 is great during vows, with a...

Re: How much do you use a glide/flycam ?
I don't use one, but it seems to me its about what shots would benefit from movement, or the off-the-tripod sort of energy.
Dancing seems like the most obvious place to start
