"Update: I recently upgraded from Phantom 3 Pro to Phantom 4. The Phantom 4 fits almost better than the P3, but the batteries does not fit the custom batteri holders."

Great Canon 50 mm STM lenses, and other cheap lenses (good ones)

This lenses work great on a camera like the Canon 70d or T6s/T6i (760D/750D).

They have stepper motor which is recommended for filming, quiet and smoothly.



Canon EF 50/1,8 STM (work on every canon camera, not just cropped)
Here´s Chris is testing it on a T6I
On for example a 70D (croped) its a bit zoomed in for doing Selfies and so on.




Canon 24mm EF-S "Pancake" 2.8 STM (increddible silent)(work only on croped sensor)
Focusing cinematic




A bit more expensive is this Youtube lens

Canon EF-S 10-18 mm F/4.5-5.6 IS STM  (wide angle lens)  (need lighting indoors)

Gyro doesnt like cold though..
This seems to be the future. Instead of using a big Steadicam this is so much lighter and seems to even be as good. Doesnt seems quite ready though. Give it some year.

Yelangu s60t, best cheapest Steadicam?


Looks really promising. I´ve been watching some merlin steadicams before, but they are pricy..

This one is cheaper than if you build it your self. I did buy some of the stuff to do a DIY but, the parts would be more expensive than this.



Here Andyax show us, thanks Andy.



It´s a bit more expensive on ebay, but here is a link where it cost 61 dollars..

http://www.sunsky-online.com/product/default!view.do?subject.id=412363

It claims to be able to handle weight up to 2500 grams

And a Canon 70D weighs 43.5 oz (1,233 g)
(includes batteries, kit lens)
Should be fine, even with an external mic.


Its also availalable at dealextreme

1045 SEK incl shipping, but taxes are added.. (about 25 %)
Search for Steadicam or Handheld Stabilize

If you wanna go more proffesional there is a more expensive one:

The best drone out there?

Casey Neistat testing his new DJI Phantom 4 Drone

The greatest feature is that you can remove the propellers simply. Twist and pull and they pop right off. This makes this drone tiny and pretty easy to travel with.

Jon Olsson is using the same drone. Fantastic video. It has a easy flight mode and a hard sporty one. Do not use the sporty one unless you really can handle the drone. You can easily lose one in the water, just like Jon did.



Check it out here!

Casey Neistat about filming and gear

Casey Neistat


He´s number one thing is the storytelling and perhaps consistency.

Canon S120 (300 bux)
Casey Neistats guide to filmmaking

“If you want the very best point and shot camera on the market? Get this Sony Rx100 mark 4. Pretty amazing camera except for the price, it’s like 900 bux” - Casey Neistat




Canon T6S / 760D – cheapest SLR you can buy that has autofocus (600 dollars)
Caseys main shooter: Canon D70 with a wide angel lens on. Camera like 1300 bux, lens another 500, the microphone is another 200. All in one its like a 2000 dollar setup.

Jon Olsson Video Camera Equipment

Been watching some of Jon Olsson videologs. Great quality. So I was wondering what kind of stuff he was using. He´s using grading as an effect for the special look.


Camera
Leica SL (Typ 601) Mirrorless Digital Camera 10850 B&H
He´s using about 90 % of the time according to this site.
He still using an SL but perhaps an newer version..




Lenses he´s using for the Leica
Leica 35mm f/1.4
Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1
Leica 24mm f/1.4 Summilux-M Lens
Leica 11082 Super-Vario-Elmar-T 11-23mm f/3.5-4.5 Wide-Angle Lens

Wideangel with autofocus: 11-23 mm T-lens, Leica lins to use since the other is to heavy on a selfiestick

Zoomer: APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90-280mm f/2.8-4 Lens (for surfing an so on)

Action camera he uses
GoPro HERO4 (Black)

GoPro HERO Session (very leigtweight at 74 grams)


Instead of using a selfiestick he uses

GoPro 3-Way Grip, Arm, Tripod


Suction cup:
GoPro Suction Cup Mount



Microphone
Rode VideoMic Pro Compact VMP Shotgun Microphone


Drone
He sometimes uses a Drone to get some nice video, overlooking the area. This is what he uses. And he found out it didnt float.. Will he choose the same?
