Anyone have a telephoto!? What was your favourite photo from the heli sequence??
The one at 3:08! Got the 70-200 2.8GM, reason being that i thought together with the 2x TC i'd get alsmost the 100-400 GM on top. Any experience with that?
1:36 with your legs coming out of the helicopter, 1:43 waterfalls from the top and 3:18 view from the inside of the helicopter. Awesomeee!
Just got a a 70-200 f4 and I love it
Personally got the 200-600 paired w/ my new a7riv, love it. Able to get in nice and tight on the jets that fly around here and managed a couple ok shots of some red tailed hawks.
I love my 55 - 300. It so go i wildlife as well for the many zoo photos I make.
then: I was planning to buy dslr, action cam, drone.
now: helicopter is also added to my wishlist.
" Why every PHOTOGRAPHER needs a HELICOPTER."
Fr🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not just any helicopter an Attack Helicopter. Gotta take out the competition
Hell yeahh
Why every photographer needs the lens I haven't touch in a year 😂
Just ordered a 100-400 yesterday. So crazy this video drops today.
Yesss man! Reassure your purchase. You’ll be stoked
@@thechrishau Absolutely! I needed that. And beautiful photos. Many thanks! :)
Same here. Two days ago!
I debated the 100-400 vs 200-600 for me I needed the extra range for subjects I'm shooting, might pick up the 100-400 in future as the 200-600 is a heavy beast to carry around all the time.
Ordered at the same time I bought the A7iii and it comes EVERYWHERE with me. You will not regret this purchase!
Chris:“everyone needs a 100-400!“
My bank account:“sike“
sigma version is almost as good, more than half the price
You can get the Sigma 100-400 for Sony for under $1,000USD.
@@rattoh +1 for the sigma 100-400
Sigma ftw
@@jasonforester7292 this is why i don’t want to get back into photography… I’ll be wanting stuff that’s ‘affordable’ but 3x what I’m even able to pay.
“Haven’t used this lens in a year” -> why every photographer needs this lens 🤔
I mean a 100-400mm lens during Quarantine isn’t useful to any photographer haha
Same :)
Sell it
When you are in travelling, it definitely useful. But in covid-19,🙂
@@user-dt2io5dz2e yep, I sold my all camera gear until hold the value. Just keep my Sony rx10 and my old rx1.
The color grading and the location makes this video look like a movie🔥
5:14 “There’s a guy fishing down here, so I can actually shoot him” 😳😳
Saw your comment right after I commented the exact same thing LOLLL
He seems peaceful though
I wouldn’t mind the Fisherman is a Killer anyways
Also: “this is my first time shooting a bald eagle”
one of my fav videos lately for the content.
A lot of CZcamsrs vlog indoors, this one is just unique after a year of quarantine.
Good job dude! Love you and Lizzie so much!❤️
Your videos are killing it, Chris! Between the sketch style reviews and to the point, zero fluff, amazingly well-shot photo videos like this I am tuning in to every video!
Sean! This really really does mean a lot :) thank you!
The color grading level of this video is just epic........... Legitimately the best quality videos chris ... Love your work man ...
Yeah I wish he made pre sets for videos. Cause I need this
this is how much I love chris hau videos..Im already watching it after being notified the video was up for 5 seconds :)
I got a Sigma 100-400 (contemporary) a few weeks ago, I've used it once a week (at least) since. Doing some sports and lots of cool landscape or subject shots. The focal length is perfect for so many things. It's a cool way to stand out and get unique shots. Super happy with it!
This dog and this video made me smile so big! Thanks Chris!!
I'm thinking about getting the RF 100-500. This is perfect to reinforce that thinking! Beautiful as always!
This was one of your best videos you've made in a while. You seem more relaxed. Thanks!
Awesome video Chris! I've been rocking the 70-200, but would love to get my hands on a 100-400 after watching this vid. Keep up the great work dude!
That beat sync with the helicopter's red light is just epic!!!
Pete taught me how to keep grinding, Mattih taught how to keep things fun and enjoy the process and you taught me how to be creative with little details man. Love it!!!
Was eagerly waiting for this video !
Love You Bro
It’s such a versatile lens. The one thing you didn’t mention was macro type shots. The 100-400 GM has a short minimum focus distance so it is good for taking those detail shots on a small close subject also.
That's what sold me on this over the 200-600.
After seeing all the amazing abd beautiful shots you were able to get with this lens, Chris, I am definitely setting my sights one one, as Landscape is one of the styles I want to experiment with in my own photography journey. usually when I'm in a sad, melancholy or depressed rut, watching content like yours, Peters, and Brandon Woelfels really helps me feel better and helps to inspire me enought to see myself achieving this as a career.
Didn’t know the sparrow from gta Is a real thing 😂
Bought this for wildlife in the Galapagos Islands... what I never appreciated about it until I had it is the versatility - from landscapes to wildlife, but also the semi-macro capabilities. Some of my favourite macro-style shots have all been made with this lens (which means I don't have to take the 90mm macro out on a walk). Always in my top 3 lenses.
Glad you got to get out and experience our beautiful country again! Great video man!
This is just insane mate ! Love the spots and the Helicopter POV you got ! Short but clean video :)
One of the best lenses that I own to be honest. I love the compression and images that I am able to capture with this lens. great video
This really has become one of my favorite lenses. I got this after hearing you and Lizzy talk about it on Pete's channel. Great recommendation.
I have this lens on my wish list to pair with my Sony a7R IV. Great for zooming in on those distant images as you did but don’t forget this has near Macro capabilities too 👍🏻😉
Man what an amazing lens and a vid!! telephotos are so amazing, those shots are perfect for phone backgrounds
I really needed this video 😍❤️❤️
I love my 100-400mm, not only is it great for getting those distance shots, it works almost like a macro lens on the fly because of the close focusing distance.
200-600 is one of my favourite lenses. I've been thinking about getting a 100-400 though, since I'm stuck shooting locally with everything that's going on, and the 200-600 draws a bit more attention than I'd like
I always wanted to buy the 24-70 with a 100-400mm, so this video really confirms it for me
We always learn a lot from your videos. Thanks for sharing your brilliant ideas and outstanding skills
the vibe is just soo chill 🎞
I shoot landscapes and when I first got into photography about two years ago, I always thought that I had to use my wide angles to get a good scene that shows scale. I found more often than not, the shots were hard to compose, as it can be difficult to balance an interesting foreground to an epic background.
I borrowed a friends super telephoto and found that the compositions were a lot easier to get tighter compositions that were more mysterious and intruiging. You can capture the finer details of a scene and it adds to the story of a place.
I bought the 100-400mm G and it never leaves my backpack... even on 15 kilometre hikes through the Alberta backcountry. It's such a versitile lens!
I’ll cheers to that celebration Chris! I love my Sigma Art 100-400mm on the a7siii. It totally changes the way you see everything👌🏼In a really positive manner! Great video man.
Really good video!! Thanks for that perspective, now I’m going to consider that lens
Great vid! Im so happy I got the 100-400. Always bring it for my landscape photography.
Glad to see you make it out to the west coast 🙌🏼 love the telephoto lenses!!
5:15 "there's a guy fishing down here so I can actually shoot him" 🤣🤣
Hi Chris, your enthusiasm is clear to see for this lens. I'm now seriously thinking of buying one too, after reflecting on where my priorities ought to be. I have a 200-600 G which only ever comes out for specific events (mostly sports) when I know it will be worth the effort carrying. Whilst by no means compact I'm now thinking this 100-400 GM could make a great travel lens, bypassing the 70-200 option. Main downside is speed vs typical f2.8 default tele-zoom choice.
I'm lucky in that I already own a lot of lovely glass, in zooms already having a 16-35 GM f2.8 and a 24-105 f4 G. I used to own a 70-200 Sony f4, but traded that for a Tamron 70-180 f2.8.
Yet mostly I prefer primes when I can use them, but they are hard and slow to travel with. Taking about 5-6 primes is difficult, can be slow, inconvenient and lead to missed shots in trying to use when you don't know what you will be encountering. Like with my 200-600 they tend to be for specific events or day trips. The GM 135 f1.8 is lovely but limited in application. 90mm macro the same, also both hefty. The 35mm GM 1.4 is great for making subjects pop from a background. I'm also loving my 20mm f1.8. For astro and love of wide composition with a strong foreground. I had initially thought that a 14mm f1.8 (by all accounts excellent) would be my next lens. But I can shoot astro/landscape with my 20mm f1.8 or 24mm f1.4 so maybe a 14mm is overkill given my 16-35?
Reflecting on never packing my 200-600 G for travel or 'just in case' use. I can see how a 3-lens travel kit comprising 16-35 GM, 55mm f1.8 prime and 100-400 GM may make sense. For me that would be considered minimalist and better than my typical approach of taking far to much.
Haven't watch this kinda video on CZcams since last March.This is freaking beautiful..... And the colour grading on this video is 😍
I just picked up a used 100 to 400 for the Fujifilm X system on Monday, and so far I've really loved it. I'm glad you made this video for it, since I don't see a lot of people using a lens like this. Thanks man!
are you happy with the used lens? Yes I can save $$ but there’s no wattanty correct?
Great video Chris! I live in Squamish and it is fun to see you shooting in some of my favourite photo spots.
great job expressing the joy it can be to out w your gear. Sound points made about the 100-400, I think I need to pick one up!
loved the video man! make more of these types. also some editing style and techniques
Recently found your channel and couldn't be happier. Really helpfull and informative videos!
I have the 70-200 but bought a 2x tele for it not long after and love being able to get 400mm reach now for my wildlife snaps. Cool vid Chris :)
Totally agree. Got mine 2 years ago when I traded in a 70-200mm f4. Never looked back. Use it for landscape, woodland, wildlife and macro. My dynamic duo is the Sony 24-105mm and the Sony 100-400mm. Camera is an A7Riii.
Great video Chris!! Thanks!!!
Great Video, Chris!
Great to see you outside again
I just purchased this lens last night. I AM SO EXCITED
I'm guessing this lens gets overlooked due to the fact that you can pair a 70-200mm with a 200-600mm to cover even more focal range without needing the 100-400mm. I currently have the 24-105mm so pairing it with the 100-400mm makes sense if 400mm is the most you need.
Point is less handy for travel, 200-600 is nice no doubt but the 100400GM+tc1.4 can be in my bag 100% of the time and i can shoot near macro (90cm focus) to 840mm with TC1.4 and in crop mode on the R4 (still 26megapixels no aa filter). For daytime i also use the same combo 1635GM+24-105g+100400GM+tc1.4 perfect for a small bag.
@@scb2scb2 That's true that it sort of depends on the bag you carry. The 70-200mm + 200-600mm kit has two large lenses and still probably requires another two for most traveling photographers and videographers, likely something like a 24-70mm + favorite wide aperture prime.
@@scb2scb2 Hi, which bag are you using? I am considering buying this 100-400 GM with TC-1.4, 24-105 F4 G & 12-24 F4 G with either A7m4 or A1. Can all this equipment fit in a bag which is 13" long 8" wide & 9" tall?
@@amitkrupal1234 For that kind of setup 3 normal lenses (say 1635GM, 24105 on camera and 90mm for example) on top so i can switch to all 3 and leave them on. And then the 100400GM sideways i use a lowepro 350aw for the 200600 setup or video gear i use the bigger 40% 450aw.
Really loved this video!
I wholeheartedly agree with you! Since I got my 100-400 GM, it has transformed my photography. I use it for at least 60-70 percent of my photography.
Dude that tail rotor shot was insane! (Maybe you mention in later in the video but) wow I’m in love with that angle!
You just made me think about getting the 100-400. never thought that would be possible :) thanks
As a transitioning focus on Landscape Photography, I've recently (a year ago) sold all my gear to move to the RF mount, which allowed me to evaluate my lenses. I've never had a 100-400 (had 6 lenses in total) but the more I thought about what I wanted in my bag all the time the more it made sense, with all the other gear I lug around my 2 lens choice was the 15-35 and 100-500. I have a few other wants for some specific things but I'll try this out for a while but I'm thinking it'll be forever.
yes, more videos like this please!!! and the funny sketches too are awesome>>> thanks a lot
I use to shoot all the time on the 100-400, wasn't mine it was on lone, I can say it was easily one of the, if not, the most versatile lenses in my kit and I miss it so much! I look forward to the day we can be reunited once again.
Amazing shots... Awesome vid
Love the tune you used on the into! Want to try the 100-400!
Really liked the mountain water fall video towards the end. Thanks for illustrating the 100-400.
The photos just look out of this world.... great vid!!!!
I’ve got a 150-600. Got some neat moon shots and I love taking it out to our local zoo.
I was tempted with one yesterday. Way out of my budget range but maybe some day I was able to by another 75 300 canon . I wore out the used one iwas given 12 years ago. That was a stretch forme but I'm happy to have another one. Thanks for your video it game me some good landscape tips. I've been doing photography over 50 years and still learning and using my skills with what I have.
I just got it last weekend! Amazing lens. All the old locations I can see new stuff there
Just been using the 70-200 mostly but this video helps to push me to think about the longer FL. Hey all you TO creators keep coming out our way to BC! Give us the heads up next time can show you other great locations to shoot!
Such a cool video!! And beaauuuutiful photos. Wow... U convinced me to add a 100-400 to my kit (once I have the money lol)
Absolutely love my 100-400!
Awwww the dog in the beginning 😍😍
I love his enthusiasm 💕✨ is inspiring 😄✨
OMG Chris doing wildlife photography! Absolutely love this vid 👌🏻 More of this please and more vlog style stuff! ❤️
Good to know there is appetite for these types of videos!
Yoooo Bentley! The legend!! Great video Chris
I am a Young Photographer and you just fully inspired me to buy this 100-400 zoom lens.
great video, good timing, i just bought the fuji 100-400 that $600 off sale was just too tempting.
Both the 100-400 and the 150-600 are popular lenses amongst nature/sport photographers especialy crop sensor users.
Amazing compression and reach. You should give the Tamron G2 or the Sigma S 150-600 a try...
I use the Sigma 100-400 on my a6400 with the MC-11 converter (Canon EF- Sony E) and that is my second favorite lens in my kit. It's so light and compact it fits nicely in my bag and I take it everywhere my camera goes. It's also about 3x cheaper then the Sony native.
The Visuals, The Color Grade, SOOO GOOOODDD 🤩👌
Thanks for reminding me of the privilege of living in BC.
Can't wait to get out into the woods and mountains again.
brilliant one Chris
freaking epic. you've got me convinced 😂
There is a video/article out there like this for EVERY focal length. "Why every PHOTOGRAPHER needs a (insert lens focal length)".
I got one last November and it’s been the best purchase I have made
love the video!
Love the timing of this video. Just got the Sony 100-400 two days ago :-).
YOOO that song at the end... i love it so much!
Castes in the Sky
The go pro video shots were so wholesome!
Great stuff 👍
I've been thinking about buying one since Lizzie talked so amazed by it in Pete's podcast some time ago
Amazing! Nice video. ✌️
Can you do a part 2 to this video? I'd like to see it with portraits and video use. I'm gauging whether to get the 70-200 or the 100-400. Also, I love the vibe of this video and the motion graphics.
My favorite lens by far. I love it and lug it everywhere.
Hey Chris great job with you videos! Oh and hey. "Watch your back" 🤪
I have the sigma 100-400 for Sony. Love that lens soooo much.
I currently own the S Pro 70-200 f2.8 but I'm either waiting for Panasonic to release a fast wide lens or I'm picking up the 2x teleconverter for my S1H by the end of the year. I love compressing backgrounds and having an amazing reach.
My Sigma 100-400 for Sony is arriving tomorrow! Can't wait.
Mine’s perfect!
It's a fantastic bit of kit 👌👍👍
