[SamBeadles]

[snakegaroo]

what is this song love it

[PeterEsquire]

If the sony a55 wasn't out I'd be switching systems for this.

[BuckNutProductions]

AWESOME!!!!!

[stemked]

Nice camera, but you do not get your max depth of field at f2.8, you get your minimal depth of view at f2.8

[morrycrow]

Why dont they just make the new hd camcorders with this quality. this quality is acctually better than any camcorder thats about 3000 dollasrs.

[SOLIE6226]

Nice informative piece of work without time wasting Rambling .

[Trahira517]

Damn dude...I just watched like one of your latests videos and was thinking to myself "Damnnnnn...that is some quality footage." Guess this explains it. Very nice buy. Might have been expensive, but hey- it's an investment, right?

[ImmortaISun]

Duuuude. I'll swap you my PowerShot SD1000? XD

[snakestrike8]

[FiveJloves]

that picture is amazing

[PavlosArk]

[eccentriceric]

don't know why you didn't get a real high quality camcorder but it looks good. i love how you made those scenes for the test clip. you're a good videographer. looks like part of a movie or something. especially with the music.

[kurtis291]

thats a lot better

[JnthnFRbn29]

OMG! your so freakin amazing! you assembled a camera in 45 seconds!!

[MegaReptiles]

God Dylan I think Robs dumb because this video is amazing! This is an awesome camera Canon is just amazing!

[ObSciGuy]

Google "Reverse-Lens Macro Photography [tutorial]" at Steven Elliot's site... Just something to think about ;)

[Reebbo]

@ObSciGuy We have a 100mm macro lens already. That is a cool trick though. DIY stuff is always awesome.

[quinnd8712]

hes got quick hands

[smetlogik]

Honestly? Can't tell the diff between this and your old one. Hopefully you didn't pay too much for it. I kid, I kid. Sweet setup, big things coming from HWD! Advice: Let Amanda carry the thing.

[Reebbo]

@smetlogik "Let Amanda carry the thing. "

Quality advice. Thank You smetlogik!

[dkbuss]

awesome

[xxxHERPERxxx]

Holy smokes it's photography in motion

[MegaReptiles]

I like I like

[JnthnFRbn29]

dylan is much much more amazing than his new camera!! he got fast hands!

[drumcon11]

Oh no Dylan! I can't watch your new videos on my phone with that camera!

[Reebbo]

@drumcon11 They can still stream in Standard Definition. You just wont get the amazing resolution.

[drumcon11]

@Reebbo I can't change the resolution. it just says it can't play on the mobile web... oh well. i guess i will have to get my lazy but up and go to the computer...

[lcataralc]

sweet camera setup. you did great job using it too in the " experiment footage ".  keep it up.

[Reebbo]

@lcataralc Thanks. That test footage was actually really fun to make. It is amazing how this camera makes the most mundane things seem interesting.

[reptilewranglers]

Sheesh!

[markanthonycruz]

Holy smokes that is the camera I'm a drooling over...want to use it for short films!!!! Jealous!!!! :D

[Reebbo]

@markanthonycruz Yea, it is pretty amazing.

[910benji]

your right dude.. its soo much better in 1080p..lol.. thats some damn good high quality there.. can't wait to see some snakes!!

[HoosierHerper]

The footage looks awesome, guys! Can't wait for future videos! Love the Clockwork Orange homage as well! lol

[TeganES]

cooooooooool i cant wait to see some herping through that lense

[vanzetti1927]

the fast motion and choice of music does nothing but remind me a scene in a clockwork orange.

[HoosierHerper]

@vanzetti1927 LOL I was going to say the same thing!

[Reebbo]

@vanzetti1927 I pulled that music straight off of the Clockwork soundtrack.

I was wondering if anyone would catch that little homage to the movie.

[Hillcounrtyherping]

Also what is the name of the song and the band that sings it?

[Reebbo]

@Hillcounrtyherping Tiger's Jaw - Chemicals

[Hillcounrtyherping]

@Reebbo Gracias mi amigo

[Hillcounrtyherping]

Dude that thing looks awesome! Can't wait for the vids!

[Snakeman418]

dude, great choice on your equipement, you got it just right. I have a Canon 1000d and a new video with some excellent snake and other nature photography that you should check out. But good luck on your herping this year dude, peace.

[CorallusKeeper]

Congrats on the 7D purchase you won't be sad you bought it. I just bought one about a month ago. I cant put the thing down. If you are interested in a follow focus to use with your videos, do a Google search on the "D Focus". They are a WAY cheaper follow focus system compared to Zacuto's or Red Rock Micro's follow focus. I also have a Manfrotto 055X Pro B tripod with a Manfrotto HDV 701 video head.

Jake Seals keeps telling me we need to shoot some more herp video with it.

[Reebbo]

@CorallusKeeper Being broke like I am, I was thinking about DIYing it and just building one. I have seen some plans for some really nice "gearless" FF systems. First I need a rail system though. I am jealous of the manfrotto stuff. They make some pretty awesome tripods.

[Reebbo]

@CorallusKeeper Looked at the D-Focus. That looks like a great alternative! That might actually be my next purchase... thanks.

[WeAreBullets]

oooo, its purty :D

oh wow, that is a GREAT picture. and i just love the footage, its beautifully done!!

..and cute dog!! :D

[MyFriskyAiredale]

how much did just the camera cost around, without the tripods etc. ?

[Reebbo]

@MyFriskyAiredale We spent around $2300 or so on the camera, lens, filters, recording equipment, and viewfinder. Needless to say, we are broke now and cant afford a decent tri-pod at them moment.

[bobsyoruncle1]

hurrry up with herping vids!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Reebbo]

@bobsyoruncle1 haha we have some stuff on the way.

[jlauralee]

all i can say is, WOW. it looks like a commercial..

[Reebbo]

@jlauralee Yea, this camera really puts out some amazing video. I am in love with it.

[TheSuperHerper]

...And I thought my $150 JVC Everio was pretty good! Nice camera!

[StairwayToHeaven96]

Hey dylan, is amanda your girlfriend? Just wondering haha. If she is your a lucky guy

[pornoralle2142]

hey mate...

can you tell me where did you buy the lcd viewfinder and maybe the full name of this model?? looks pretty amazing :)

[Reebbo]

@pornoralle2142 Haha Zacuto z-finder too expensive for ya huh? I know how you feel. I bought this one on Ebay. Cost me about $175 total, which is still over priced if you ask me. It is just called LCDVF. They have a website you can buy from I believe... just google LCDVF.

[NairbXFilms]

this is probably a question that yall get quite often, but are you and amanda courting or anything like that?

[Reebbo]

@NairbXFilms We've been dating for almost 8 years now.

[KingstonHerps]

WOW! very nice dylan, looks like a T.V. show! must have bin pretty expensive 0.0

p.s. if you have any spare time could you check out one of my herping vids!? =D

[Reebbo]

@KingstonHerps Thanks. It did cost us a pretty penny, to say the least.

[RpLaIcHzEiT]

WOW man thats some seriously nice looking video! Can't wait to see herps filmed with it!! Awesome!

[Reebbo]

@RpLaIcHzEiT We actually shot a herping video already! Found a snake while doing this test footage.

I'll probably have that video cut together and ready to go by next week.

[LoneHerper]

I am going to give it the ultimate test and watch it on my 42 inch flat screen.....

[Reebbo]

@LoneHerper PREPARE TO BE AMAZED!!!!!!!!!!

or feel motion sickness from my shaky camera skills.

[SCherper]

Zoom makes a good little recording mic!

[Reebbo]

@SCherper Yea, I am really liking the H4n.
