Re: Video Camera Stabilizers, quick question.
I don't use a monitor. Most of the time, I don't seem to be moving in areas where I'm having vast exposure differences. I let auto ISO adjust when it's on as necessary and it seems to be pretty smart.

Re: Video Camera Stabilizers, quick question.
I have my camera set to Manual with my Aperture and Shutter Speed Set.
Depending on the situation, I'll either set it for AutoISO or regular manual ISO.
Focus is single point, non-continuous...

Re: large tripod bag w/wheels
Jeff - does that Kaces one have individual areas inside it, or is it just one big bag.
I can't find any pix online other than showing just the outside.
Thanks!

Re: Why do some of you use DSLRs?
Like others, I use both DSLR and regular camcorders.
Indeed, the looks you get out of a large sensor camera are beautiful compared to a 1/4" or 1/3" chip camera. The more I use my D750 for video,...

Re: Video Camera Stabilizers, quick question.
I was using a Tokina 11-16 F2.8 on the D750.
All those were shot at 11mm.
I did up it to 13mm to kind of try and minimize some of the wacky edge distortion look and will be trying that later....

Re: Big doubt - Canon x Nikon

Re: Video Camera Stabilizers, quick question.
I'm curious about this as well.
My "plan" at this point is to basically never take mine apart once I get it set up and balanced. I understand that fine tuning will always need to be done, and as...
