THIS IS A HYPOTHETICAL LIST THAT YOU SHOULD NOT FOLLOW 😉Also who else loves Peter???
Me! Lol
Me :p
Matti Haapoja Peter who? Hahhahhahaha jk.. love both of you guys.. both are one of my inspiration, for reals... Be easy ma man
I do, both of you are so inspirational after every video I want to pick my camera up !
Everyone loves Peter, ok almost everyone :)
Vlog lyfe
Peter Awaiting your new video!!!!!
It's that how you spell lyfe in Canada? 🤣 Like tyres in the UK? 🤔
Close enough is enough..
Gotta love it 🙌🏻
*Life
I would put computer high on the list. A decent desktop or laptop is almost essential for not only photo and video work but any business work too
Hey Lex, totally agree !
PC FTW!
Very true!! This list was hypothetical anyways. So feel free to add more hypothetical items
Agreed! Many beginning filmmakers buy 4K cameras without having the computing power to edit 4K.
Don't forget a factory calibrated monitor with at least 100% sRGB color... plus a monitor calibrator like a Spyder to further fine tune it. From a $500 BenQ to a $2000 Eizo but no $120 LGs.
Yo that intro was amazing!! Great advice 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers
I always procrastinate watching your videos on procrastination 😂 Anyway appreciate your ad free videos

Exactly my thoughts. I mean, there's a big difference from the starting point, where you couldn't even be 100% sure you are going to do it good, and that gear don't come cheap.
Anyways, it is crystal clear this video is not meant for beginners :)
Roby - The Heavy Guy I’m stilling vlogging using a GoPro 5 black! Audio is awful lol
@@RobertMunteanu105 Buy some vintage lenses, $30-$100, fast primes for $$$$$$$ LESS. I've cut commercial and narrative productions for broadcasters shot on them, I shoot on them, they change the game in terms of $$$$ and the results speak for themselves.
@@SlothyVlogs get the gopro audio adapter and the Saramonic mic for like $50. Been using that setup for years and still use it sometimes even with a full frame setup. The gopro is just so much less inconspicuous when vlogging and the image is actually decent if you film at 2.7k and down sample to 1080p.
Cheese and Candy yeah I’ve been looking at that set up! £140 for everything I’ll need in the UK! Not bad at all really
You should do a bad shot challenge. Were you purposely have bad shots of over/under exposed or other common mistakes and walk through best ways to correct in post. Great stuff as always!
Man, the step up rings for ND filters is genius!!! Can't believe I've not thought of it before... Matti with the golden tips! Also, the intro was insane, loved it!!
Remember your enthusiasm when you are fumbling with a pile of step up rings on a shoot :-D. They are a money saver though! Fotga makes $20 variable NDs that perform similarly to Tiffen. I just have three of them in the major filter sizes. I'm one of the few you'll see suggesting Fotga, but when used properly (within limits) they are excellent.
Chosen Idea fair point! Definitely the issue with any camera accessory. If it’s cumbersome or difficult in anyway it tends to lie unused. The whole productivity & quality correlation.
Oh yea huge money saver
I just edited my reply a hundred times.
Chosen Idea just read your edited reply. Good to know other peoples little hacks like your fotga nd filters. At £20 it’s always worth a punt and test them. Thanks for the tip.
Hey Matti, you forgot in your list especially for us content creators in CZcams, the importance of decent editing pc/laptop. I’m your fan watching here from Philippines 🇵🇭
'Hey Peter remember that time we use to share an office' 😂🤣
😂 truth
This aged well
a bit too well
I did buy everything you said. Hypothetically.
🤣
Hey Matti,
I really miss your older content where you taught us about the intricacies and technicalities of photo/video. It seems lately that every single video you put out is an advert for your affiliate links. I find myself actively avoiding such "ad videos" as all they do is confuse me gear-wise. I miss your old stuff. The stuff where you taught us about colour, story, framing, creative techniques etc.
Hope this comment finds you.
Best wishes,
Your fan of 3 years.
Agreed. He's trying so hard to be like Peter.
Totally AGREE
Change is constant thankfully
YOU ARE THE BEAT MATTI!!! I decided to start my own CZcams channel!! Wish me luck !! Starting in Japan !
Best of luck!
GO GO J-Vlogger. Good luck.
Agreed on camera with interchangeable lenses. I started with an a5100 with the sigma 30mm f1.4 and learned a TON. It's on a completely different level than your smartphone. Don't get me wrong, phone are great, it's just not the same. I just upgraded to the A7III after half a year with a cheap camera and a good lens. it was invaluable knowledge gained.
For sure!
I bought canon g7x and regret that it has not an interchangeable lens....
@@pilarpsp127 just sell it online
JxSStudios I have bought 200D g7x is great for traveling, it stays with me anyway ;)
What lens did you get with it?? I just bought the a7iii and wondering what lens to buy
Editing station is definitely important. If you're dealing with clients, having some sort of backup or redundancies in case of data loss is also a priority. As for the camera, I'd say best bang for buck doesn't always mean new, or latest. I just got an 80D, practically new, but "used", with 3 new lenses for just over $1k, and it only shoots up to 60p FHD, but it does everything I need it to do, and I've been enjoying filming with that. Plus, that sweet, sweet Canon Dual Pixel autofocus. Mmmmhmmmm.
You made this video in 2018, and it's been an amazing Guide for me in 2022 here in Ghana. Matti, I am truly grateful for your videos and I thank God for rewarding you with a beautiful family.
I'm an active person always moving around and gardening outside..I chose the gopro hero 8 black because of my activity..I use my cell phone for the talks I have sitting down.
Good call on the step up rings. Never thought about that before. Mind blown. 🤯
Haha yea a lot of people don’t know them
Thanks for showing the memory card case. I bought something recently but it is not working out... that one seems good... great tip. I really appreciate it. I also agree in investing to a good lens. I have lenses for 12 years and work amazing.... like new... I am only switching camera bodies...and I have to say that the 360 stick shots are pretty cool... liking it lots... wishing you awesome day.
Yea pelican is great
Next items: coffee grinder, Boosted Board, One-Wheel
LMAO
Two of my favorite CZcamsr filmmakers in one frame! 🥳
The 21 people who disliked this shoot video vertically on their phone.
😂😂 They also accidently film themselves while doing it.
@@zwheels654 use the front camera! 😂
I disliked it and I don't shoot vertically. I disliked it b/c I do not feel its good advice.
@@PrestonGladd please oh god of camera's, tell us your mighty advice
We’ve all been their
NUMBER ONE : a *STORY*
Dont' you think ?
At least i try to put more storytelling into my videos
Oh yeah, and a camera of course..
And some lights, because your camera can not see in the dark..
@@RiseHigh Unless you have a Sony.
@@Biring1 haha, sure, but you still need the moon light then ! haha !
Love my sony gear !
Hah yea it’s hard to tell a story on film if you don’t have a camera 😂
Was thinking exactly the same
I really enjoy you’re channel Matti! It’s a great pick me up for positivity and energy. 👍 Tech or technique it’s all good!
Dude that intro was amazing. Great to see something completely different like that. Love your work!!
Great choices, never even considered the step up rings, definitely going to get that
Oh totally worth it
I just realised how much gear I already bought. That’s kinda shocking:) great video! Well done:)
Its a great investment! What gear are u using mainly?
My mind is melting thinking about how the stick disappeared on the 3d cam 😂 It's magical!
Oh yes I’m on the right track. Good to see you both together. My idols! WohhoohhhHH!
Man that was great
Really helped me put things in order
I WANT A DRONE 😂😂
Have you seen the DJI Mini 2?
Would really like to see a review on that deity shotgun mic
Caleb Pike @dslrvideoshooter talks about the Diety mic in his latest audio gear review
@@simonbeckford207 Nice im looking for a new mic, ill check it out!
Thank you so much brother, did not know about the step up rings. Love it! 👌🏼
Getting the variable ND and step up rings is one of the best tips. ND filters are the best. I recommend getting a tripod with interchangeable heads. Get a video head for smooth movement shots. Anything works to start out though.
Loved the last part man ❤️❤️ you should vlog matti. Love from Pakistan ❤️
🙌🏻
If anyone wants to dip into full frame Canon, the 6D mark II has crazy deals now. I'm a Sony guy at the moment but I felt this was important enough to point out lol
85mm 1.4 is on sale too EDIT: F1.8, not 1.4...
niceeee!
I have an A7iii, but I must admit if I was still on the search for an affordable camera, the 6Dmkii would definitely be on the top of the list. Full Frame with Dual Pixel AF (plus flip screen), people dont appreciate those specs enough 👍🏼
@@Wade_Adakai yeah, I'm on the A7III but you're absolutely right! Plus, you can find glass dirt cheap in comparison to Sony. The 85mm 1.8 is $300 on sale right now. A 50mm 1.8 is dirt cheap. The body is only $1300 right now. Plus you can find GREAT used glass for a STEAL
@@billymurphy3 Vintage lenses, $300 for a CZ 85mm 1.4, manual focus, but optically beautiful. Especially if you're shooting mirrorless, I don't even buy modern glass anymore, all my photography/video work is shot on vintage prime lenses. You want to save some money, start there.
I use:
Lumix G70 + panasonic 14-42mm
Dji Mavic Mini
Zhiyun Crane plus
Kamlan 50mm f1.1
Gopro Hero 7 Black
That all costs about 1400 and absolutely is great for beginners.
First 2 things I had (appart from filters) : camera rig with side and top handles, matte box. Now I need a powerful enough computer to edit faster and smoother.
Big thank you for the lights recommendation, our sister company Deity Microphones would have something to say about the best starting mic - have you checked out our D3 Pro yet? ;)
is this the real Aputure? :D Ive never heard of JLIM Productions but yes the D3 is awesome too! Linked
Matti Haapoja hey yes I’m Jimmy Lim and I run the Asia-Pacific marketing activities for Aputure but keep a lookout for all our reviewers on CZcams! This was my old CZcams channel when I was still doing production (with Aputure lights of course). Great, objective sounding video - look forward to the D3 Pro review !
Can you please do a video on how you setup your EOS R and process workflow? I wish I could get EOS R video to look that good. Great video as always 👍
Thanks man!
Thanks Matti! Absolutely love watching your videos 🙌🏻 I especially love the tip on the ND filters and buying the biggest one along with step up rings.. don’t know why this didn’t occur to me 😅
Just went and bought everything, thanks)
Broo that intro was awesome! Do more vlogs dude 😝
MATTI!! I wanted this so bad! I'm horrid. One of my fav things about filmmaking is getting new gear.....my guilty pleasure XD Now I can justify these 10 more purchases!!!Thanks matti!!!!😜😆
Hahah don’t we all love gear
Okay we have to address the cinematography of this video:
The very first time I saw you randomly turn to the side and talk to a new camera angle, it annoyed me greatly (not that that matters but just as a viewer, lol). It pulled me out and felt like the first time you had ever done it. But since then you have really grown it into a style and this is the absolute best I've seen so far. It flows fluidly, keeps it interesting, I feel like you have really forged this into an amazing style of your own!
Next, the intro: FANTASTIC as just a random thing to include! I have literally never seen that look and thought it was the perfect follow-drone on an ultra wide lens or something. So good!
This to me is where the inventiveness you've been going for with all those camera angles has really hit it's stride. And I say that as a viewer/student, not a teacher/critic. I have nowhere near your experience, I'm just impressed, that's all!
Finally, disclaimers included, thanks for actually giving your opinion on gear. I'm pretty sure most of us know before asking that "it depends" as to what camera to buy, and are just looking for a good workhorse camera. It's nice when someone with knowledge will actually share it.
Great video! Thank you!! - Winter!
Thanks so much!
Great list Matti! It's great to lay out what you need like this. Everyone wants the sexy stuff and skips stuff like a filter which could change your LIFE.
🤦♀️ now I want the insta 360 camera...impulsive buying is the worst...
On a separate note, hair is on point, Matti
Hahah whoops
Everything you talked about is so overpriced. You even pay $20 for a step ring? Dude, they go for about $5 even less. And $200-$300 for an ND? Really, you think that 1% extra color accuracy compared to a $50 or even less expensive ND will make a big difference? You're not helping the whole "Filmmaking is expensive"
BUY FROM ME ! BUY FROM ME! This was a video to use his affiliate links, nothing else!
Seriously? You don't see the difference between cheap ND and expensive? I've got both - and yes, there is a difference. But I agree - 200$-300$ for non-professional videographer - its too much.
Thank you Awesome video.. You guys have be having so some much FUN..Keep being a blessing.
If you need a *budget light* and only plan to shoot close up & medium shots, I would definitely recommend the Aputure HR672S (get it from eBay for the cheapest price)
That backpack just the name sounded really expensive lol
All of that gear don’t matter if you don’t have a good computer to edit your photos/videos😶
11.Laptop/Computer
Dude! I was looking at the Deity Mic, I didn't know if I should buy it but now that I saw you had it, I can trust it now. Thank you for helping me decide what mic I could get.
Been following you and Peter and now I finally bought myself a real camera. These videos have been so helpful
1 to 30 second 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Amazing....!!!
Haha 🙌🏻
Insta360 is pretty nuts, eh? At first, I thought he had his drone following him, then I saw the shadow of the arm for the Insta360 cam. Those things are very cool.
I have a camera, a rode videomic, enough lenses, a crappy tripod, a good camera bag. What should I buy next, I just can't decide. Budget is $100
a better tripod for sure, you can get a good manfrotto tripod for $100. either that or more memory cards and batteries
During the part of storage lexar was mentioned as an advice. I work in a photography shop (video specialist) and I can tell you: do NOT buy lexar SD cards. These stupid things have a return rate of 50% in the first three years as far as I can tell. They usually become corrupt/ unreadable. This also goes for the 150+ ones. SanDisk Extreme Pro is my recommendation which are very reliable, the only problem I've seen were that they initially had problems with the a7 iii requiring a firmware update for the camera early in it's lifecycle. Sony card's are decent, and although the though series are externally very strong, for internal problems I've seen them have slightly higher return rates then SanDisk. Angelbird cards are another option when you look at cost versus speed for uhs-ii cards. This brand had a very wonky start with Panasonic cameras not working correctly with them. They seem to have fixed their problems last year and seem reliable but I can't give a final verdict over them since they don't sell enough to do a good statistical analysis.
I know this video is older, but I’m aspiring to become a pro filmmaker/ content creator such as you guys, and right now I have so many items but not enough room in my cheap bags, if you guys have some extra ones that are just lying around not being used I would be happy to take one off one of your hands lol, or you could do a give a way! I’m sure fans would love that, especially the ones that need them for travel!
Haha half is not most Matti
For anyone looking at gimbals, the Zhiyun Crane 2 is $450 right now on bhphoto.com!
I bought this gimbal 2 years ago and still using it to this date!
I got everything up to the drone/light my setup: Panasonic g7, 14-42 3.5 + 20mm 1.7, gorilla pod, yelangu s60t, rhode micro, kenko nd filter, GoPro session, theta s 360camera, lowepro bag ?.
I just go the insta360 one x and it’s absolutely awesome!!
I guess I'll do my research now :)
Do it!
Lol, I love Matti, trying to make himself feel better. "I paid $3k and sold it for $1.5k... I made MOST of my money back." Lol, I love you Matti and I can but appreciate the positivity but...no you didn't lol
Casey has the perfect story; Matti has the perfect image and info; Alan P has the perfect picture and b-roll. Peter has it all together :)
Catching up on all my favorite channels after Thanksgiving in the U.S. But seriously... thank you 🙏🏼 This video helped a lot as I almost bought a drone, but i really needed a stabilizer
He said the mavic air is “actually decent” I mean, I’d say it’s a little better than decent lol
DONT BUY LEXAR's ANYMORE!
They used to be good but most nowadays lose files & get corrupted!
I'm just at 0:36 and i just want to say COOLEST INTRO EVERRRRRRR. That is all, enjoy the rest of your day.
Just got the Insta360 One X last week and it is fun indeed. Nice video!
Number 1: Money
Well can‘t go further down the list from here...
So true 😂😂 can't afford anything but the ND filters rn
Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadians out there 😂
Haha 😂
Thanks & back at ya (if you're American)... but FYI - we have ours in October, so.. better late than never!
Ducati Kozak lol I know, I lived in Vancouver for a few years 😂
Hey! I appreciate your suggestions and I follow most of your videos, but I disagree with most of you said. First for the camera I'd go with a cheaper dslr like the Rebel SL2, it has the same sensor as a 80D and canon's colors, dual pixel AF, flippy screen, mic input, I think it's about $500-600 (body only). I won't buy the sigma 18-35 if you are vlogging, it's too tigh and too expensive ($700), I'd start with a canon 10-18 which is about $270, then for a mic, I'd start with a rode videomicro instead of the video mic pro, ($50 vs $200). And then for the tripod, i'd go with a gorilla pod, those are expensive but the quality is much much better than the cheap ones (I bought 3 cheap ones before buying the gorilla pod and after a year it's still working perfectly fine). And ND filters .... I love them, I use them, but they are too expensive. I don't think it's something that should be so high in the list, I think ND filters are the last thing you should buy. If you don't have enough money, I'd use my phone as you suggested, and save for a cheap DSLR:
My list would be:
- Cheap Canon DSLR (APS-C) (Rebel SL2, 80D, M50)
- 10-18 lens (and maybe a kit lens for sit down videos)
- Rode VideoMicro for vlogging, lavallier mic for sitdown or interviews (there is a good one called Boya M1, is 16 bucks, great mic)
- Gorilla pod (expensive but worth it)
Then after you have all of that, you can invest in:
- Drone (Mavic Pro 2 it's a good one)
- A nifty fifty for B-roll (or the sigma 18-35 you suggested)
- A backup camera (small point and shoot like Canon G7x or Sony RX100 5)
- A better microphone for vlogging, the Deity or the video mic pro are good choices
- ND filters (yes, after all of the stuff before)
- Gopro? (maybe)
Then you can upgrade:
- Full frame camera: I'd suggest a 6D mark 2 (or maybe a EOS R but there are no native lenses and the adapters IMO are not good)
- Full frame lens: without a doubt a 16-35 f/2.8 (I'd say that you can do anything with a full frame camera and this lense, you don't need anything else)
- LASTLY: A few more broll lenses
This is all HYPOTHETICALLY ;)
I hope you see this Matti!
Local and cloud storage is a boring one but definitely something you need as a photographer / filmaker. Would love a video about how you organize your stuff. I got robbed last week and lost 2 HDD, kinda suck. Looking at cloud storage now 👀 what is your workflow?, what work best fo you? Thanks!
matti, 😥, but i'm 14. How do I afford this? 😭😭😭 I NEED IT TOO LOL
You don’t need any of this dude, you really don’t
you already have a t3i 🙄
Your video is actually really bad for what the title leads and what the audience expects. For over 10 minutes you're literally just saying "Hey i bought this one for this much, ! And I used this so much! " Its really horrible for the people that click on this video they just want an informative one but youre literally just saying " Oh ya i spent stuff i shouldnt have!, way too many times. Intro was also way too long
Still, I enjoyed it -- lots of cool toys, sharing experiences, some helpful tips... what's not to love! :-)
Smell some jelous😏😏😏
don't make the mistakes he made 😁
I actually did buy a EOS 77d with the kit lens and the nifty fifty a few weeks ago. My first camera. I'm really happy with it.
Can never get enough of videos like this.
Awesome 🙏🏻
Thank You So Much.....
😍Love From Bangladesh🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Nice One wheel, brother! also, Very informative video! keep up the great work!
Really helpful finally someone put it plain n simple
Good morning Matti hope you have a wonderful filming day ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽💯💯💯
Thank you! Bit stressed but I’ll get it doneee
Great ideas Matti! Best idea that you didn’t mention is to rent before you buy where possible or hit up the used market. Lots of good gear in the GTA that’s looking for a new owner.
love that new wide aproach bruh... 360 blast
😊 🙌🏻
Super helpful tips for a beginner filmmaker like myself!
Thank you for all the time you put in 🙏
A good checklist to get started with. Dope advice brotha! 🤙🏻
Man this really Helped ,I’m a starting Filmmaker Trying to Grow .Thank you
Welcome to the world of 360 video and Photography. Great work.
Like the idea of step ring, great tips.
I’ve got a lot of gear myself but tend to forget I have it all and typically only use like 1-2 cameras anyway lol Need to bring a checklist or something to remind yourself first you have these things and to use them !
Awesome video Matti! This info was super helpful :)
Nice video... good gear and tips. Keep up the great work!
Ahah! So true! Right now I'm getting rid of the things I don't use. The more accessories you have the more it gets in the way of what really matters which is making the film and taking that picture!
Yep, the quest for the perfect camera bag is never ending.
Very helpful video. Thanks Matti, the variable ND filter wil be my next purchase!
Thank you for links!!! Very convenient.
intro makes me happy. thoroughly enjoying your videos lately matti, thanks for the knowledge
Love the beginning of this video.
I truly don't understand how you can dislike this video.
THAT INITIAL SEQUENCE WAS SO DOPE!
Never loved any of your videos like this one, Matt. There's just something....
It was like...alive, right from the start. Wow! 👍
