So thankful there are actual professional videographers making videos about their gear instead of the mass amounts of people that only make camera reviews with their gear. Oh yeah I got my A7IV a couple of days ago! Getting myself intimate with all the settings before I head out.
I don't think Sony a7 IV is mostly used by professional videographers. So probably most would take benefit from the videos that you complained about...
@ Actually movie and TV videographers would be less likely to use it but the A7III was extremely popular among professional wedding, event, and stock videographers. Most of the CZcamsrs I'm referring to will be making a new video of another camera or drone offered to them by manufacturers before even a week passes by.

@@JayWandersOut I get you and yes, I can understand it. But still, I just think every opinion matters to someone if not another... Appreciation doesn't need comparison. That was my feeling :)
nice to see a real world usage of the camera and the compensation for the minor crop issue. can't say any professional I know would drop a camera just because you need to change lens for for 50/60frames mode but reading the youtube comments you could end up thinking there are no professionals in the community LOL 😂
What helps my understanding tremendously is following a professional's workflow using the "tool of choice" - this is what sets you apart from the many content providers that simply run through menu settings and/or regurgitate company product marketing material. Thanks for allowing me to benefit from your real-world education regarding the "What", "Why", and "How."
Thank you sssooo much for your videos about your new A7IV. Just got mine but am new to this. YOU are making me feel more and more comfortable about my A7IV commitment.
Appreciate the review, agree on the crop.. in studio work, if the DP or director wants a 35mm 4K, they get 35mm 4K. No excuses on the crop. They'll just tell you to throw the camera away and get another camera.
When it comes to motion pictures, 35mm wasn't the same as 35mm in still photography. For a long time the cinema standard was Super 35, which has a crop factor similar to APS-C (1.5). That has started to changed with the advent of full-frame cinematography.
Glad someone made a video about how it performs on a professional shoot instead of nonsensical b-roll youtubers, i was thinking on getting it cause it was amazing on paper, now that i see this video, i'm all set. Obviously subscribed
Yes, that's exactly what I like to do videos on too. Take the gears out into the real world and work with it in real situations. Then, come back and report about the experience and what could've been done better after some reflection. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work.
Really do love these behind-the-scenes explanations into how and why you use the gear in any given situation. Like you know it's not always about the gear but how you use it. Really great stuff. Saving up to get my own sony a7iv coming from a Canon 70D, but im still shooting and pushing myself to use what I have to get good at the work flow.
ThAnks for the video! Soo nice to know the A7iv is capable in a professional shoot! Hopefully one day I can be on your level hehe. Thanks again for all your content
Amazing insight and breakdown! Been watching your videos from time to time, but I think it's time I sub! Keep up with the great work and would love to learn from your experience.
Make a video about the requirements you use for you set such as lens Lights type Would be helpful for beginners like me on a low budget but I already own a sony a7iv

Excellent content here 🙌🏽💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’m still rockin x2 a7Riii’s and an a6600 as I’m equally a hybrid shooter and need high res photos + high end video features. I would have absolutely upgraded all 3 cams to the a7iv if they unlocked the crop and also a few minor things. My Riii’s also crop in 4K, which I’ve adapted to, but would be nice to not have that. This new cam and tech does give me great hope for what’s next in the line up for sure. You’ve got a new sub here! Cheers! 🙌🏽💯📷
very good and we appreciate to watch backstage of real work but we appreciate also some final result of the real work and it is rarely shown by other video creators and you show us part of the final result and I appreciate it. The 767 thumb up is mine and I subscribed to your Chanel.
After watching this video, I took my A7iv out for a test shoot. I found this 5-foot wide water fountain near my home to test with. I was using the Viltrox 24mm f/1.8 lens. I shot the fountain at 24fps. Then switched to S&Q to shoot at 60fps. In my S&Q shot, I only had to step back 1-1/2 feet (0.467 meters) to achieve the same composition as the 24fps shot. As a filmmaker of narrative films, I don't have an issue with the 4K 60fps crop. Whatever camera I'm shooting with, I adapt to its limitations when needed. In the case of 60fps, I don't shoot in that frame rate that often. If I did, I would plan for it. In the case of my fountain shot, the 4K 60fps crop had very little effect on my choices when it came to composition.
Great video - can you share any more info about what you use to power the camera? I was looking at an external battery but didn't really know what to go for
Amazing review, I just got my a7iv and did my first vlog with it, LOVED IT! But love seeing what this camera is capable of! I don't have a rig on mine but my arms were a little sore the next day 😂
Really awesome video Jason. I just purchased the a74 to keep my a7s3 company, also selling my a7c. I’m an amateur video creator enthusiast only, so it was cool seeing your behind the camera perspective of this video. More of this type of video PLEASE.
@@A12Diary definitely lots of differences between the a7iv and the a7c. I will say though that the a7c was for me an awesome full frame camera. I just wanted a little more capability that the a7iv provided.
you know they care about their work when a 2 to 3 second shot is removed because some white on a wall that an ordinary person wouldn't acknowledge. That is dedication.
Jason, great videos man! I just picked up a a7 IV so I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with it. Extremely helpful! What is the cage you’re using on the iv in this video? The Tilta for the iv isn’t released yet here in the US. Is there a cage for another camera like the a7siii that is compatible with the iv? Thanks again for the outstanding content! Keep up the good work! -Gary
Ahh the choice of getting the FX3 or A7S3 OR A7VI is getting harder and harder... Yes the price of the A7VI is half of the FX3, But for the cropping thing and lowlight performance the FX3 is just better as I understand.... I will do Video mostly and the goal is to create as high quality video production as possible with my gear. My goal is corporate, real estate and after movies... Anyway... Loved watching your video again and hopefully I can start my channels soon once I have the budget for it.
Looking to move back into professional video production, and seriously considering the a7iv as my starter camera. Thanks so much for the info! PS some of those rigs you use look amazing.
Top video mate, would like to see more of these. Very interesting to see how the A7iv performs in a professional video environment! That hotel did look a bit bland to work with hey! Where’s the colour 🪴
I know this video is old but I have to sub. I just got the A7IV but this video really helped me. If you see this can you please link me the rig parts please? and that long gimbal extention I have no idea what it is called.
are you experiencing issues when you hit play back with the Directors monitor the screen on the back of the monitor goes black? it doesnt do this when you're recording only on playback?
Hi from Norway! As an owner of two Sony A7IV cameras I really appreciate you sharing your experience using the A7 IV as the main camera when shooting a professional commercial! I also liked the visual layout for the shotlist at 07:20. What kind of software do you use for designing and setting up shotlists? Subscribed! :-)
Did you try a wider lens than 24? For indoor shots. Or step down 4k 30fps or change shooting resolution or maybe more different several angle shots from room...sometime it takes several takes...also lighting is important rather sources from windows sun ceiling etc.
Hey Jason great video as always. Question: what is the Ninja V mounting arm you are using on the cage? I assumed it was Tilta but can’t seem to find it online? Thanks and keep up the great content.
How about test shots of the Sony a7iv 4k crop 60fps with Sony 16-55 f2.8 lens? The new Tamron aps-c Zoom lenses and the Sigma new aps-c Zoom lenses. Also, do several similar tests with Fuji aps-c prime lenses for Sony e-mount: Fuji 16mm f1.4; Sigma 19mm f/2.8; Sigma 30mm f/1.4; Sigma 56mm f/1.4.
Awesome video! CAN ANYONE ANSWER THIS: what lens would be the best one to mitigate that crop in 4K 60fps? I’m struggling to figure what would be the most effective option. 😅
Thanks for your experience with the A7IV on this commercial Jason. I was wondering what would be the advantages/disadvantages if you were to do the same shoot with no rig at all. Would you be able to achieve the same result and how much more difficult it would be. Thanks.
No rig would mean no external video for directors monitor. Would need a monitor Mount. Potential for changing batteries more often. Having to power other accessories with their own battery. No handles. Etc. many advantages for cages but clean rigs can still do the same job. Right cage for the right job
Great video! More of that. I really like you studio background 💪 What program are you using to create storyboards like that? I have it all in my head for my commercials, because drawing takes way too much time. I of course plan in writing and with notes, but that is not easy to bring on a shoot
Hi Jason! a very urgent question for you; this saturday i will have a wedding and i don't want the overheating of the A7IV. Which is the best solution? buy the atomos ninja V and rec by it or the v battery? i don't understood. Thanks so much
Thank you so much for a real world review of the camera ! I wanted to ask if you could share what IBIS setting and camera setup you were using when you filmed the commercial ? The footage looked really steady and I wouldn't have guessed it was shot handheld. I also wanted to ask about how the A7IV faired with the IBIS and the 24-105's OSS, I haven't come across any test footage of this setup and I'm curious to know what you think of it. I'm picking up this lens with the A7IV for video work, so I would really appreciate it if you could share your thoughts.
I actually tested this on my IG. The 24-105mm is incredible with the a7iv. Most of the shots I used regular ibis. There was one shot I used active steady to get extra smooth dolly movement

Thanks Jason, I appreciate the review. I just received 2 A7iv to replace my micro four thirds setup. Having done a ton of videography with corporate interviews and more recently added a huge architectural photography component, I am really looking forward to exploring the hybrid photo/video aspects of this camera. I am glad to hear the IBIS worked well for you, since I shoot mostly handheld, that was my biggest issue leaving the Panasonic system. Were all the lens you used without OSS? You were just relying on the cameras IBIS, right? You still found it usable without post stabilization?
Please give an Update of your experience. I started with mft from Panasonic and then Switched to A7siii. After the launch of the gh6 and I of course had all the mft lenses lying around I gave it a try. Now I am back at mft with gh6 since it works so much better for me than the a7siii. It is a more "professional" Camera I would say. I have no experience with the a7iv until now and watch a lot of reviews but I don't think I will change. So I would be curious about your Update. Side note: I am mostly filming weddings.
Hi Jason, I am considering buying the Sony A7 IV and I would like to ask you a question. If I activate all the stabilizations possible in the camera during the shooting phase (even in the zoom lens ), will the video I get slightly decrease in quality? I mean its definition, etc. Thank you.
Hey, why are you using ninja atomos V always when you can shoot 10-bit 422 easily on sony a7 iv internally? is there some difference in quality or just for the ease of prores working style?
Even if he wasn't recording in the Atomos, he's using it as a monitor. A very good one, as it is. Good size, very bright, great colors, you can apply LUTs, etc. Better than the camera display, more customizable. And there's also a HDMI out, so he can send the video signal to an external monitor so the director (and crew) can watch it as he films it.
Nice. I’ve been thinking about getting a a7iv to replace my a7iii as a B cam but that crop really has me on edge 😭. It looks amazing though and would pair with my a7siii seamlessly. Do you have a link to the dummy battery ?
Hi Jason, thank you for the great content. I have the a7iv and am having trouble sending 4K 60 to atamos ninja v… I get no signal. 24 and 30 comes in clean. I am not trying to capture external raw, just prores422. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you all for your help.
So thankful there are actual professional videographers making videos about their gear instead of the mass amounts of people that only make camera reviews with their gear. Oh yeah I got my A7IV a couple of days ago! Getting myself intimate with all the settings before I head out.

I prefer to film mainly hand held with certain commercials. Being too smooth is something I only like in very clinically accurate commercials

How about test shots of the Sony a7iv 4k crop 60fps with Sony 16-55 f2.8 lens? The new Tamron aps-c Zoom lenses and the Sigma new aps-c Zoom lenses. Also, do several similar tests with Fuji aps-c prime lenses for Sony e-mount: Fuji 16mm f1.4; Sigma 19mm f/2.8; Sigma 30mm f/1.4; Sigma 56mm f/1.4.

Great Video Jason! question, what's the shot list / cinematic blocking software you use to prep your shots at 7:21?
Thanks for your experience with the A7IV on this commercial Jason. I was wondering what would be the advantages/disadvantages if you were to do the same shoot with no rig at all. Would you be able to achieve the same result and how much more difficult it would be. Thanks.
No rig would mean no external video for directors monitor. Would need a monitor Mount. Potential for changing batteries more often. Having to power other accessories with their own battery. No handles. Etc. many advantages for cages but clean rigs can still do the same job. Right cage for the right job
Great video! More of that. I really like you studio background 💪
What program are you using to create storyboards like that? I have it all in my head for my commercials, because drawing takes way too much time.
I of course plan in writing and with notes, but that is not easy to bring on a shoot
Hello. Thank you for your feedback. Do you have a link with the actual model of the external battery for the camera? Thank you

Please give an Update of your experience. I started with mft from Panasonic and then Switched to A7siii. After the launch of the gh6 and I of course had all the mft lenses lying around I gave it a try.
Now I am back at mft with gh6 since it works so much better for me than the a7siii. It is a more "professional" Camera I would say. I have no experience with the a7iv until now and watch a lot of reviews but I don't think I will change. So I would be curious about your Update. Side note: I am mostly filming weddings.
Do you have a video on your A7IV rig?
Hi Jason, I am considering buying the Sony A7 IV and I would like to ask you a question. If I activate all the stabilizations possible in the camera during the shooting phase (even in the zoom lens ), will the video I get slightly decrease in quality? I mean its definition, etc. Thank you.
You’ll still get brilliant quality
If possible can you please make a Sony A 7 4 rig setup?
Great video. Can’t wait to get my a7iv. What is an easy rig?
An easy rig is an overhead stabiliser. Mainly takes the weight off your arms and not make things steadier as such
that wobbly table gives me anxiety :P
Hey, why are you using ninja atomos V always when you can shoot 10-bit 422 easily on sony a7 iv internally? is there some difference in quality or just for the ease of prores working style?
Even if he wasn't recording in the Atomos, he's using it as a monitor. A very good one, as it is. Good size, very bright, great colors, you can apply LUTs, etc. Better than the camera display, more customizable. And there's also a HDMI out, so he can send the video signal to an external monitor so the director (and crew) can watch it as he films it.
good work bro :)
Thank you
Would you say the a7iii is still a useful camera to get?
Just wondering if it's worth the extra $1200AUD for the newer model?
Nice. I’ve been thinking about getting a a7iv to replace my a7iii as a B cam but that crop really has me on edge 😭. It looks amazing though and would pair with my a7siii seamlessly. Do you have a link to the dummy battery ?
Easy rig over gimble ?
what model is it easy rig?
I shot indoors for 30 minutes and had overheating issue. Were you using the XAVC Intradrame codec?
I got the a7 iv and it does gets kinda hot while recording in 4k 10 bit, dont like that feeling as much. It gets me pretty worried/nervous
Hi Jason, thank you for the great content. I have the a7iv and am having trouble sending 4K 60 to atamos ninja v… I get no signal. 24 and 30 comes in clean. I am not trying to capture external raw, just prores422. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you all for your help.
Probably cable issue
