Can you do an updated version for 2019 picks? 😊😁
But no video studio
you hinted about a7s not that good for photo, is a7s2 better for videos or a7III, do let me know
anyone do let us know for video production setup also for inde short films, thanks
U don’t need a strobe
U can use a continuous light, it cuts ur over a 1000 dollars
Also if ur doing a photo studio u want something that opens the aperture up
No one does better than the 50mm
BOOM BAM BOP
Please no one make any buying decisions based on this video
Great advice and video!ty
Which Samy's is this? I know some of the guys like Hernan from Santa Ana and Walter from the main store. I've known Hernan since he was the Cokin rep and Walter since he was the Pentax rep.
Stopped watching when the Canon 50mm 1.8 was recommended for video, and i really hope nobody wasted their money. This recommendation would only be made by someone who has never used the lens before. It is a great value lens for stills only. The AF is too choppy and (very) noisy for video work.
Canon biased good bye
Stuff to start you studio? Why did they include the cameras and why did they buy new? If you are asking the same questions they I guess this video is not for you either.
Absolutely waist of time. I hope you guys taking responsibility when talking that garbage for people who need really good advice?

I've heard -not too long ago though, the 70D has hi-speed shutter issues…. can anyone confirm this?
Apparently, the shutter curtain gets stuck while shooting high speed…
WOW! what a coincidence I also picked up the 70D but with the 35mm Art lens along with a ND 10 stop… Awesome!!
Using it for stills instead of video though.
I have a canon 80d ; and i want to buy a godox ad600 with softbox ; this will be a good kit?
The problem is they are buying from a store. Buy Craigslist or other used places. Buy from EBay, China, Japan etc…
there going in a store with a budget of $5,000?!?!
I am new to photography, but from my own research I can admit this was just a waste of money. Maybe should be called YouTube vlog channel start up instead of studio? why microphones?
You guys are great – funny (in our nerdy photography way) – Thanks!
The irony of 11:52 it's hard the lighting … and sound ::wireless mic hit:: lol
Fine and great staff guys.
804rc2 is not a ball head.. just sayin
complete asshats with regards to the photo side.
I would LOVE to buy an ETC Source 4 for $350, they're $1995 on the link in the description!
