Planespotting in RVSM airspace

Canon R5 Mark II with a 100-500mm f/4.5-5.6L lens. I always have that and at least 3 more lenses with me in my flight bag. It sucks to carry around but these types of photos is why I do it.

What camera/lens/flash setup do we think Sinna Nasseri uses on the red carpet?

Helmet person has I think a Canon R1 or R3, though it could be an R5 with a portrait grip. Lens could be the 24-105 f/2.8. Presumably a similar body and different lens on the other shoulder. Sinna Nasseri then has a quite odd setup, to me that looks like a very small lens, perhaps adapted M mount, a

So glad to have the Swallows back!

Thank you! Canon R5Mk2 + RF100-500. The auto focus ability of that combo is insane. It helps so much, but there is a ton of patience, getting to know the behavior of the animals as there is a pattern to their madness, and of course a ton of missed shots. Precapture is on, but only really makes a dif

Why the Pocket 4K needs a V2

For what it’s worth I’m a full time videographer (not cinematographer) working closely with brands such as Amazon, Uber, Honda, Tourism Australia etc. My daily is the pocket 4K, original, with the ultra speed booster for a full frame circle and I have to say the new Nikon ZR, canon R5II etc are clos

Most photographers don’t need better gear, they need better taste

If you have no skills, you’re still likely to take lousy photos whether you have $100 worth of gear or $20,000 worth of gear. Once you have a certain level of skill, lower quality gear can absolutely hold you back, especially if you’re shooting fast-moving subjects or in low light. Sports photograph

In your experience, what are the most reliable mirrorless cameras your photographers have used on set?

Generally speaking, R5 Mark II. There are quirks I don’t like about the canon ecosystem, but they have the best tethering experience, 3rd party support (outside of lenses), and market penetration in the commercial world. Apparently the C1 beta wireless tethering support is working too. What are your

Bringing a camera into Honda Center

I own a Canon R5 Mark II as my work camera and a Ricoh GR IIIx as my "fun" camera. The GR IIIx is essentially a fancy point-and-shoot with a collapsible lens and I've been able to bring it inside at times, wouldn't risk it with the R5m2 because it'll be an instant no. Generally if the camera isn't e

what's the best camera for sports photography that works best for indoor basketball and low light gym settings

If you really want the best, look at the Canon R5 II, Sony A1, or Nikon Z8. But even the best bodies won't get you good results without wide aperture lenses. Before you buy a new body, try shooting with an f2.8 zoom or an f1.8 prime lens. Personally, I usually shoot indoor basketball with prime lens

At Most, How Much do Digitally Zoom In to a Shot?

Sports/adventure videographer/dp here. Often run Canon R5IIs (previously R5, R5C) in difficult environments (heavy snow primarily). The R5II stands out as having pretty great dynamic range for a MILC style body, internal 12bit raw (no need for external recorders adding bulk and compromising sealing)
