His main aim is to get pictures of full lengths, mid shots (waist to top of the head) head and shoulders shots, and close-ups.
So what he can get with both lenses is full lengths, mid shots, and probably head and shoulders - and he's able to use the flash. Problem with the 28-300mm, it's a varied aperture of f3.5-5.6, so using it at 300mm at f5.6 isn't great in low-light, nor is f4 but he's still able to use the flash at 105. He'll switch to the 70-200 at f2.8 for the ambient
Regarding the dummy-battery to prevent the flash from drawing power from the AA's and the external pack... there is a custom function in the flash that you can set so the flash only draws power from the external pack to recycle the main capacitor.

Very useful tips!
You are born to entertain the public ( in a good way ) :)
Keep up the nice videos!
PS: is really the 24-105 so close to the 28-300 as an end result ?!

Also as he states 28mm isn't wide enough sometimes for full length shots, were as the 24mm is.
