I have 14 C-Stands, most from different brands. I can't stress what you said enough - there are some cheaper ones on Amazon that are not worth it. I love the impact and of course the matthews ones. The cheaper ones have knuckels that don't work well, don't get tight enough or whatever, and I have a pair of stands that the center column has a bottom .. plug that screws into the bottom. After a few heavy uses the one got a bit stretched out and now that plug came out and won't thread back in. So I will only be buying Impact or Matthews from here on out!

Super helpful

Great info. Thank you. Sorry for your loss.

Nice video. Would you recommend difusion with -0.7EV cut or -1.25 for outdoors shooting?

Got two 8's on car mounts. Gives nice BRoll and a third with the content creator thingie I keep saying would make a nice talking head vlog camera. Had bought them for my kayak. Klunky in many ways. Almost like a 4x5 large format camera. Something to enjoy. Planning and thought towards lighting makes a difference. Too lazy to sell them, lose money, buy a vlogging setup. Tough cameras. Just don't buy three of them if you are starting out... lol

great video

Hey! I had no idea you guys were based in San Diego! I also run my production company/video agency out of San Diego! Lets connect. Maybe theres way to help each other out!

Welcome to Raleigh! We are based here in Raleigh and would love to catch up sometime after ur move!

Bravo, wishing you all the best!

Thank you for always being so candid. Best of luck from a small studio in Columbus, IN.

Looking forward to watching your new journey. Best of luck.

Best of luck! I have watched your content for the last few years and have really gotten a lot of value from it. I live in Raleigh and can say that you are picking a great area to move to.

Well, I wish you the best of luck. It’s no easy decision to move your business from one end of the country to the other. As I always do, I let my work speak for itself and you do amazing work so I think you will do just fine. It’s the moving and setting up shop again that’s always rough.

Good luck!!!!

Thank you for the helpful and informative video! Good luck!

well presented, thanks!

Awesome video, thanks.

Thx for great review.

I agree, it is better if we can hear you even without music

Which Pelican case is that? Thanks.

SO important!! Thank you so much for this video.. I also love the look of your studio.

Thanks!

could you tell me what diffusion reflector you used to shoot through at 4:17? great video!

really thats wonderful.this video inspire me to do hand mad things, hand made things conect emotiona, and thats make it so special to use in life. i ant to make my fantasy story and based on that i want to make crafting like characters wearings, or any thing that i like in my fantasy world. thank you very much for this video.😇🍀

Really helpful to hear about your experience. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you sure!

Awesome breakdown!!! Thanks for the review!!

You can also get a a Matthew’s with a turtle base.

I sue Kupo, these are probably one best on market.

How do you transport your stands and in what case do you carry them in?

non name brands....

I bought a Flashpoint ( honestly, because it was black). Second time using it, was lifting a 49” octa… tightened well to support weight and threads stripped. Shipping sort or make it cost-prohibitive to return.

Would like to hear why you don't "love" Avenger C stands. I have over a dozen of them and have never had an issue.

Really nice, watchable overview. Thanks! I have a bunch of Glow modifiers and they get the job done for a reasonable investment. Sadly, after spending literally tens of thousands of dollars with Adorama, I quit doing business with them because of customer service issues. They're great until you have an issue which is a real shame. I'm really torn between the Glide Gear BFS100 modular system or just biting the bullet and buying the Westcott Scrim Jim. Thanks again, great video.

I fell In love with the S1H . Lumix color and video is crazy . The takeover has began . And when the new S1H2 comes . Sheesh

I found your video through search, looking for a LinkedIn primer, and clicked because I am also a Larimore LOL in Wyoming.

natural talk goes with the x1.5 video speed

used to have the 300x. that was my go to light for a long time. excellent light.

Avengers are by far the best. And the most expensive. Avoid Cheap crap

I thank you this video was helpful!

What’s the difference between c800 and c7000. Can c800 measure ambient light settings so I can set shutter speed and aperture or does it only measure color temp? I think the c7000 has additional benefit of being able to read ambient like cheaper light meters. Can’t tell if c800 can do this too.

What is the Insurance company you went with?

This was definitely helpful as I was on the fence and already had the item in my Amazon cart while I was debating on buying it.

Great tips, thx

Now, that was an interesting walk-through, thx!

Can you please make a video on how you get your audio to be "broadcast standard"

Thanks for this really helpful video! Would you say the included diffusion is similar to artificial silk or another standard diffusion textile? And, do you know how many stops it consumes?

My video compresses when it is published is there any way to upload it with high quality? Its nearly 140 mb and 2min long , i have searched the web also but didn't find anything helpful!

The thing about photography or video work is the product is a file, not a physical product. The content is always changing, so the tools need to be as versatile as possible to keep up. I thought about an 8x8 and quickly realized that I would much rather have four 4x4’s that can be attached to create an 8x8 or a 4x16 or even 4 interior sides of a cube. I used 10-series 80/20 aluminum channel to make the frames, so baby pins or anchors can be put anywhere. I spent a bit more, but I’m amazed at how useful the system is. You need only to try to light a canoe to understand why a 4x16 is such a great thing…

Was lumens the only reason you picked the nanlite over the amaran 200x? I like having everything in the sidus app for production.
