My Camera Gear 2

[MegaSam179]

Is there anyway for your phone camera to look more professional without tripods and all that stuff?

[TheRoboPlay]

Why did you change from the t2i to the 60d?

[FrozenXM898]

i have that exact same tripod for my 60D!

[lefonceur26]

With an iPhone? Matt, you are a genius, man.

[iamtimthegreat]

danggggg l lens......

[LifeWithAnAngel]

What size rods are on your Jag35 rig? They look like the 8" rods?

[throwmyshoes]

Dear Matt, I have been watching your videos for a while and you have very much helped me improve my videos from a editing perspective (If you look at some of my newer videos, the older ones have TERRIBLE editing). However, I have a very crappy, Kodak Playsport, and I am planning to upgrade my camera to a Canon 60D and I would very much appreciate your thoughts about me doing so, under the circumstances that I can afford one and the kind of videos I make. Thanks so much for your opinion.

[skatepreme]

I have a t2i and I wanna upgrade. I'm mainly gonna use it for video so should I get the 60d instead of the 7d?

[bbrettschneider]

What type of tri pod are you using?

[pstchaseki]

The 24-70 on a 60D just didn't work out for me. I just felt that it may work better on a full sensor ala 5D. It was especially under performing when it came to still photography hooked up to my 60D. How do you like it so far?

[MattsMacintosh]

@pstchaseki People seem to love or hate the 24-70mm. Its as heavy as a tank, gets a little soft at wide apertures and high focal lengths, and doesn't have IS. That being said, I still think its the best option when compared to its competitors.

[mrmark2899]

How is that an iPhone? Looks to good!

[snipe1998]

how much did that cost you

[mroneniceguy]

Hello, where can i buy the accessories that you have? I have a 60D and some lenses.

[MacMan0978]

Even with an iPhone he still gets great shots

[AKidzView]

pretty good quality for an iphone

[D3K1N9]

Do you like shooting with the 24-70mm?

[SpecedByJo]

Your so rich

[TheVerandaguy]

Do you use any stabilizer when you use your camera off-tripod?

[mannyy1294]

Any still shots from the 60D, looking at new cameras and comparing.

Thanks, btw your vids are SWEET!

[AllTechPride]

Hey Matt i was wondering, did you use Filmic Pro to shoot this video? And also what frame rate did you use?

[JJBfilm]

Nice gear...Looks like fun..

[GanEdenAustralia]

8xfEzXRXgQI

[groshong1]

using an iphone n still epic? damn ur good

[harisenbon7777777]

how people can not like this video ??? O.o

[GizmoBitz]

really good quality video, i thought it was an actual dslr. pleasant surprise at the end :)

[cristilica1]

All shot on iphone thats cool. The best camera is the camera you have woth you a saying goes.

[shutterthree]

I see an apple 2c

[MattsMacintosh]

@shutterthree Yep. I've got a video about it on my channel if you want to check it out.

[shutterthree]

@MattsMacintosh kool will check it put

[mattiemaas]

@MattsMacintosh dear matt, i just bought a cheap follow focus, but i've got a sony slt 35, so it focusses by itself, even when filming... but my question is: can u use a follow focus for zooming? because that's a issue...

grtz mattiemaas,

ps watch my vids and like!

[caleblolz]

How do you get such great quality with your iPhone? I swear I have so much noise and grain in my videos

[thatapplegeek]

@caleblolz It's a voice over.

[caleblolz]

@thatapplegeek Sorry I meant noise as in the picture, not actual sound. Unless you were being sarcastic..

[thatapplegeek]

@caleblolz oh, I just assumed you meant the other noise, when I record with my iPod touch. If I forget to use an external mic, I get a TON of background noise. You can hardly even hear my voice.

[guidobertisch2]

@caleblolz Lighting.

[wiredtunes]

I have 2 questions and it would be greatly appreciated if they were answered.

1. What editing program do you use?

2.How do you get those black bars on the top and bottom of the video. I like it and I think it makes the video look more professional.

Thanks! Enjoying your videos.

[MattsMacintosh]

@wiredtunes This was done in FCP 7, I'm currently using FCP X. The letterbox was done by simply cropping the footage.

[nwsea97]

Matt! i have a question! i am thinking about buying a Canon Rebel T3, im a beginer and tell me what you think if its good for video!

[Khomaproductions]

So How do you like the 24-70mm 2.8L? I used it and have regretted it ever since. It pretty much that the softest focus of any of the L series lenses. Its not crisp at all. Haha What are your thoughts on it?

[DavidTechHD]

wow I could not believe you shot this on your iphone

[TheMagicChannelCo]

How did you get this quality on your iphone/>??

[johnjr47]

How do you like the 60D? I’m think about buy a 60D or 7D I love the price of the 60D, but I like the 7D for it metal body and focus system.

[everyday360]

i almost died once you said i shot this with my i phone.... good job man

[MrMattmrk]

how do you change the codex?

[niceworkmicrosoft]

I still think it's amazing that you shot this with a mobile phone!

[ConflagrationClone]

Sorry! That comment from whiteninja was mine. I accidentally did it on his account. He's my friend

[RedgardH]

@ConflagrationClone wth... White ninjas and Conflagration Clones are sharing accounts? I mean, a ninja isn't supposed to tell sb his password, is he? That's not the way the white ninjas roll...

[ConflagrationClone]

@RedgardH We don't exactly share accounts. He just told me his password so I could upload a video for him that I made

[WhiteNinja973]

how did you rig up the gear focuser device thing (I have to watch the video again to see what is called) to attach to the camera? I want to be o movie maker when I grow up, so you have been a real help and encouragement to me.

[MattsMacintosh]

@TheBioman12 No, my real job

[poprocz]

iphone, funny. Well done.

[jacobasghar]

me and my friend are making a short film on our phones to show u dont need an amazing camera

[Mrtechhead1]

an iPhone u have just made my mind explode!!!!

[meyoumovie]

What`s the best camera for $200.00, I need to take clear photos of wrist watch dials. Can I get some suggestions PLEASE

[unidigistudios]

@meyoumovie for 200$ you are probably not going to get anything good, as cheap cameras mean cheap lenses (bad quality), bad image sensors, and all around bad image quality. You should invest in a full-blown SLR, even at the price of 500-40,000$. Even the kit lenses will have better quality than the 200$ camera...

[NathanaelsFilms]

@meyoumovie Look at something in the Canon PowerShot lineup. Mostly around $179-$499. Maybe the SD1400IS (I own one, its fantastic!) Hoped that helped!

[rockhopper123452]

Where'd u get Ur tack for Ur iPhone e

[MattsMacintosh]

@rockhopper123452 Its the indislider. I've got the phone mounted on the Glif

[guitardude2744]

Could you make a video teaching people how to make amazing videos like this with things like your iPhone. I would really like to learn how to do video shots as good as you do. I have a $230 camera with not amazing quality but, its alright and I cannot figure out how to do such amazing shots like this. A how to would mean alot.

[BreakingShambhala]

The entire thing was shot with an iPhone? Just goes to show you, it's not the camera it's the person behind it :)

[FATBOYGETDOWNISMAD]

You used an iPhone? wow

[GabeZTV]

rod system? ive only heard it called a rail system

[drdistracto707]

what quick release system do you use? is it the zacuto one?

[MattsMacintosh]

@drdistracto707 No, its the Manfrotto one.

[CREESTAFAH]

Mr. Matt, I have to say that I was blown away to find out that you shot this entire video using an iPhone. I can't shoot anything nearly as good as this with my own. I also have to say that this was the first video of yours that I've seen. I'll definitely check out the others! But if you haven't already, you should consider making a video tutorial on how to shoot some decent video using an iPhone and show what tools you use to achieve these great shots! Thanks for inspiring me! lol

[MattsMacintosh]

@CREESTAFAH Thanks for checking out my video. A lot of people have asked for tips on shoot better video with the iPhone, so I'll probably do a video on it.

[iPhone44iphone4]

awesome video man!

[Ozbaturdek]

1:17 i have that caselogic bag too :)

[AlTyler138]

Great video and nice set up. Can you recommend any good dollies at a good price. I just hate how some simple stuff have a huge price tag just because its associated with SLR's

[StefanSiem]

thumbs up for Matt's iPhone ;-)

[technopple]

I fuckin love you. No homo.

[evzeeland]

You prefer the Zacutto viewfinder over de LCDVF viewfinder which cost more than half of the Zacutto?

[HLM190586]

Why do you prefer picture camera over true video camera?

[MattsMacintosh]

@HLM190586 To get a video camera that would even come close to the quality of a DSLR would cost at least $5000 just for the body, and I would still need lenses, rails, follow focus, etc... DSLRs give you near cinema like performance at a fraction of the cost.

[iskandar2204]

Lol never seen someone shoot with an iPhone and make it that good did you have a tripod or was it your hand?

[SonyBoy365]

I always confuse you to DetroitBORG

[Yovillespoliers]

:) Nice...

[roborovskihamsters]

LOL soldier! Also, i think the iPhone camera is amazing, this proves it.

[XcodeDev]

Sweet vid. The iPhone has such a good camera.

[niceworkmicrosoft]

Matt, if you didn't mention your iPhone, I wouldn't consider how you shot this :)

[mohitdesh94]

@MattsMacintosh which lenses do you use for filming??

[Forene100]

I have a question, if you like filming and you have mony to spend, isn't better for you to buy a filming camara insted a foto camara that films and then spend a lot off mony optimizing it to film.?

not tha i don't aprove it. i actually love spending mony on extras to improve equipment..

[rodrigosendas]

Hey matt awesome video. Could you tell me where can I buy the Glif tripod mount for the iphone 4 please?

[Appleaddict22]

How about your 300mm?

[Jamz006]

I cannot believe you made that film using your iPhone! Absolutely incredible!

[psychoman125]

Hey Matt I have a quick question before I make my purchase, I was wondering what size rods you have on your Jag35 DSLR Baseplate.

[AppleTalker1]

whoa this was from iPhone?! amazing!

[bvsveera]

I was surprised to see one of your videos not playing in full HD, but THAT video coming from an iPhone?! Amazing.

[TechFreak60]

I thought you were maybe filming with a t2i how did you do it???

[MAJOR4U2NV]

iPhone what?!?! Oh ur good teach us plz show us how u did it p.s ur videos rock

[BRENNANSTECHBITE]

You got me again Matt, I had no idea you used your iPhone!

[linweisean]

Hi matt! just wondering, is a remote follow focus any good, my follow focus is the same one you have and i'm thinking of upgrading to a remote one, the one on the site looks really good, do you think it is an upgrade??

[NJDevilfan26]

amazing that you did that all on an iphone

[logicallytechnology]

Awesome video Matt! You really have a lot of awesome camera gear, but I agree with you when you say that it's not the camera gear that it's important, what matter is what you get out of.

[Toil118]

Hole shit how did you get the iphone camera to look so GOOD!!!!

[thebluecollargeek]

GREAT VIDEO MATT!!!!!!!

[thetechfixer]

Did You Sell The T2i?

[rsmoz]

the rode is wobbly on my camcorder...

[TwoInfiniteLoop]

Matt, what did you end up doing with your T2i?

[MattsMacintosh]

@TwoInfiniteLoop Gave it to a friend.

[AndrewHume1]

@MattsMacintosh I can be your friend ;)

[punisher70000000]

@MattsMacintosh Can I be your friend?

[SilkyZeus]

Hey Matt, I know this isn't related to the vid but...how fast is your Internet connection? Or how long did it take you to upload this vid???? Thanks.

[ABSjazz]

Beautiful and smooth video for an iPhone! Care to share a behind the scenes on how you get such fluid shots?

[MattsMacintosh]

@ABSjazz I used a slider and the Glif tripod mount

[tomuchtimeonmyhands1]

yea iphone lol :)

[AndresR0d]

Matt, do you think the T2i is a good reasonable camera?

[XericTech]

awesome//

[dansz97]

damn i would never think this was with iphone if u didnt say

[TheSDavies93]

Do you still think your 60D does the job?? For picture taking

[MattsMacintosh]

@TheSDavies93 Yeah, its awesome

[DaveProductions2112]

Wow...I am jealous lol. And that looks pretty good from an iPhone. I just bought my iPhone 4 about a month ago and I've been trying to experiment with the different ways I can shoot video

[KingBlooh]

Looks great for an iPhone :D

[sonic3243]

Wow.

I actually thought you were using one of your really expensive cameras for this video!

[thomasmovesinc]

i tohught u used the ti2

[SupremeApps]

Hey Matt, awesome video! Where did you buy your Follow Focus from? Really curious to purchase one of these but I don't know where to look.

[StanGrunder]

@SupremeApps jag 35? he said it in the video, and if you look at :44 you can see that he has D focus, which is made by jag 35 if you GOOGLE it

[SupremeApps]

@StanGrunder I asked him because chances are he got it for cheaper than what is costs on their website.

[zypherstones]

How much did you have to pay for all of this? (Estimated)

[SharpeysSkits]

Neat set up Matt. Best work a hell of a lot of late shifts to be able to buy any of this! Thanks again

[MattsMacintosh]

@SharpeysSkits What's funny is that I bought all this stuff the week I quit my job...

[SharpeysSkits]

@MattsMacintosh Really? That's crazy Matt! Bet the missus wan't impressed...

[vruls]

@SharpeysSkits he probably isnt married

[roborovskihamsters]

@MattsMacintosh you quit your job (for YouTube)? :O What did you work as? :)

[ICYASIAN95]

Your rod looks like a sniper

[ktfx5]

WoW! I thought for SURE you used a fancy camera to shoot this. The iPhone camera is apparently pretty good!

[PianoScience]

Don't you still have your T2i?

[AppMagnet]

Great Vid bro

[ShakeAndBakeGuy]

Hey Matt. I like the new setup. I just ordered a 50mm f1.8 and the $30 shoulder rig that you suggested. I'm also using the Rode Videomic as well. Are you still using that shoulder rig with this current setup? I'm kind of co-evolving on to my gear with you and this looks like a great setup that I could adopt to eventually.

[SoldierKnowsBest]

I've been looking for a good follow focus that wasn't crazy expensive. Thanks for making me get my wallet out again today Matt. lol

[MrlloydCook]

@SoldierKnowsBest Hey Soldier!

[MattsMacintosh]

@SoldierKnowsBest haha. I can't even count the times I've reached for the Visa card after watching one of your videos... Thanks for the comment.

[TonyMProductions]

Wait, if you used your iPhone, how come the video is not slim (if you know what I mean). How did you change the size?

[MattsMacintosh]

@TonyMProductions Do you mean a 16x9 aspect ratio? Because it is.

[TonyMProductions]

@MattsMacintosh I'm so clueless about technology.

[TeamEpsilonRacing]

@MattsMacintosh i may be wrong but i think he might be talking about when you hold your iphone vertically and u get the very tall effect when you upload to youtube... not sure just a thought because that has happened to me before. BTW wonderful filming i always thoroughly enjoy watching your videos if not for the content solely for the professional quality.

[SquickenX]

@TonyMProductions you film with the phone sideways

[TonyMProductions]

@SquickenX HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks!

[macbookpro57]

wow, you were recording that using the iphone? i thought you were using a camcorder

[itechhelping]

wow, you make that cannon 60D look like a beast

[jayzg60]

wow really good on iphone

[prerb]

MATT! Never point your lens toward a light! it will ruin the lens!

[TalesOfWar]

@prerb How do you record anything without light pointing at it?

[MattsMacintosh]

@prerb I'm pretty sure that's not true; besides, I don't think I pointed at a light in this video.

[prerb]

@MattsMacintosh well, if it is directly at the light. but yeah just saying. thanks for the reply! i love your videos!

[MattsMacintosh]

@prerb I think you're thinking of the sensor, not the lens. Its just light passing through glass until you open the shutter. Glad you like my videos, and thanks for the comment!

[prerb]

@MattsMacintosh you are right. i know, i am a camera n00b, but i just heard that shining light into your camera is bad for the sensor i guess. you are the camera buff, and i will trust you.

[spongeb649]

Cool set up! And i didnt now the iPhone took that good of a quality video! They came out good!

[anapplefanboy]

You used your iPhone for this video? Great job! :D

[SKarsteinX]

what the price point on the rods, quick release plates and follow focus?

[MattsMacintosh]

@SKarsteinX The whole thing? probably around $350.

[SKarsteinX]

@MattsMacintosh Thats actually not so bad. Wondering if you could put the system on the CPM 30 dollar shoulder rig. Think i have seen Caleb Pike on Vimeo do it. Why arent you on vimeo?

[MattsMacintosh]

@SKarsteinX You can put it all on that rig (I actually have it). I think you'd need some handles in the front though (like Caleb has). My vimeo is: vimeo. com/ matthewpearce (get rid of the spaces)

[SKarsteinX]

@MattsMacintosh Awesome, guess it doesnt work with the offset piece. Looked at the JAG35 website. The X runner bundle looks awesome, and with a D-focus it will be awesome. Are you using your CPM rig with the system?

[MattsMacintosh]

@SKarsteinX It actually will work with the offset piece, it just makes the weight balance a little weird. The X runner bundle is awesome. I'm actually in the process of making a custom shoulder rig right now.

[tutorialsmasterox]

when u said filmmed with my iphone i was like holy sht and replayed the video haha

[luismacintosh]

That's a epic set up Matt :D

I'm trying to save up for a dslr at the moment to upgrade from my flip ultra hd.

I would really appreciate your feedback on my channel.

-Big fan

[MSComputerVideos]

When you demonstrated the follow focus, it looked like it moved the tripod slightly. Does any motion turn up in the video itself?

[MattsMacintosh]

@MSComputerVideos No, and in fact that's one of the real benefits to it.

[techmetta]

Great Video Matt :D

[superthe1st]

is all you do youtube videos? if so... that is all extremely unnecessary

[hockeysoccerman11]

very nice videos! these ones are the best!

[puppyrootbeer]

I love ur vids so much, I watch in 240p!

[popgames]

niceeee

[ramo1050]

i aint gonna type it
