Do you think the "Follow Focus Finder F3 15mm Rod Support for DSLR Camera with Gear Belt Canon 60D" (search on ebay) is a good option for a follow focus? Id really like to have hard stops, but dont want to compromise quality
@sierkkanis swivel screen. the ISO capabilities r basically the same, u get the same ISO options, same color options, basically the same everything. i have the 60d too, and ive also used the 7d a lot. i definitely prefer the 60d :)
@sierkkanis DSLR's are primarily picture cameras, and all ways will be and you dont really use the screen in photography (at least, most people dont. I do.
The 60D was, in a way, experimental to see how people responded to the screen. They needed an successor to the 50d, so on the 60d they kinda went "why not." it wasn't advertised as much as the more popular 7d, but when dslr video became came popular it started to be a +. since then, they made the t3i, a successor to the t2i, with a swivel.
Very helpful! Which microphone do you recommend using on the Tascam DR 05? I will be shooting video with a point and shoot and recording audio separately as the audio on my Canon IS780 is quite terrible. Thank you!
Does the 60D and 600D have much of an difference in video mode. I'm about to buy 600D mainly for video, but i just want to know before buying anything should i spend that extra money for 60D or 600D and better lenses?
Hey i got a canon 550d and i'm very new in photographing and video making. i am a german student so i cannot afford these expensive things. can u recommend a fisheye attachment, a slider and a microphone for me ? i think the one you use from rode is very cheap for good quality so i think im fine with it.
also i want to ask how i can tune up my video quality whem i'm inside buildings with no real sunlight. it's always pixelated. do i need these work lights ? and how much of them ?
I have a choice to get a t3i or a t2i. Thats my budget right now. Are the enhancements that worth it on the t3i? Ill be mainly using my camera for video
@MattsMacintosh I also have to choose between the t2i and t3i. Sadly i'm 14 and do not a ridiculous amount of cash (already took me 2 years to ave up for a macbook pro). I would mostly use it for still shots of my energetic niece and nephew. Anything would be an upgrade over my current awful Insignia NS-DV111080F but which camera do you recommend?
@rmordica The 60D is actually a better choice than the 7D for video (and has the same sensor). It also offers a lot of improvements over the T2i in that realm as well.
Why would you go from a t2i to a 60D? I mean, yeah there are some minor differences but overall, you're working with a lot of the same drawbacks compared to higher end DSLR's (5D, 7D).
Hey i have a canon 7d and am experimenting with the video. do i need a special cord so i dont have to sync the audio. can you just use a 3.5mm jack or is there a special cord thats meant for audio.
You say you at one time switched from Nikon to Canon? I dont blame you at all, I switched away from Nikon recentally too, but not to Canon. I bought a Sony Alpha. For the price of the Canon camera itself, you sure are not getting much. And than when you finally get it you have to put more money in it to make it sutible for cinematography. Such as you try to make a digital viewfinder and than when ever you want yor normal LCD you have to take that thing off and on. Nothing against Canon just the$
I practically have all the same gear as you! A 60d, rode videomic, and the zacuto view finder, one question though...When ever i use the rode videomic, there is ALOT of hiss, how do you fix your AGC? Because i cant seem to find any way....
@ Hi Matt, I was wandering if you could post a blog perhaps with all your equipment (i.e. Lenses, JAG35 etc) I do realize that you've made videos talking about your equipment but a blog or comment with the links and what not would be very appreciative. Keep up the good work :)
I know that Canons don't have XLR inputs, if I use a connector that allows me to convert the XLR to be inserted into the MIC input, would that work? It is just so I can use a Boom mic, it could get around the whole, recording external sound too which is a pain.
I use the snowball as well! But everyone doesn't think it is a *real* microphone (because it doesn't look it) but the audio quality it puts out is amazing!
@moneymikemoore Read as much as you can and practice, practice, practice! The more you shoot the better you'll get. Don't worry too much about equipment right now, focus on technique.
@Technoguy3 You can't beat it on price. As usually, though, you get what you pay for. It gets the job done, but not nearly as well as the higher end sliders. I use it in a ton of my videos if you want to see how it looks.
Can you give me any links to buying your equipment and/or prices, I'm looking to get started and invest in a 550d or a 60d. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks :)
@wilson883 i would check out the 600d.its more or less the same camera as the 550d,but whit the flippy swiwely screen of the 60d.image qualety is also the same as the 60d...the onley drawback is that the build qualety is like a happy meal toy,and it has a smaller viewfinder then the 60d (wich dosent realy mather if youre onley using it for video . and it dosent have a top info LCD and onley 1 command dail (if you are a starter and dont cear for things like aperture and shutter speed then its ok
I am in the market for a voice over mic right now and it seems from this video that the blue snowball is a decent little mic for it's price. Would you recommend it and does it work fine with osx?
Matt, I am thinking of starting going in the direction of film and photography for a hobby. maybe like filming stuff at the skatepark or just film in general. i have 2 questions,
1: how much did all of that camera and all of its attachments cost?
2: which camera and whit attachments should i start of with?
hey Matt, I say the slider that you were using other things as legs for it, indisystems has on their site where you can buy the legs with allen wrench and nuts for 15$, just an option!
Like you, I use a Rode videomic. It gives truly great sound -when its not broken! I Now I always seem to be replacing those silly rubber rings (they make a noticeable "squeaking" noise on my sound-tracks) -and the little attachment spigots on the mount's "core-spindle" have started snapping off! What a reflection on Rode's design/build quality. Should I pay a bit more and get a better built mic (from a competitor) that won't let me down next time?
HAHA nice I have the exact same setup down to the lens types, video mic and snowball, I just use Sony instead of Canon. And I use ghetto desklamps instead of professional lighting :S
Is that the Z-Finder? I didn't realize you could use that on a 60D. How does it sit on a flip-out screen? Any issues of it being loose etc. when filming?
What setting's do you usually use on the rode because i keep getting this fizz noise in the background and on your video's when using the rode i noticed there's no fizz at all
I am in the market for a new camera for videos, and I am choosing between the Canon 7d or the Sony NEX VG 10. I am leaning towards the Canon, but I would need to buy external mics etc. Also, I am thinking that the Sony has the advantage of a video viewfinder, better internal mic, and better form factor, although one disadvantage of both is the lack of manual gain control.
@TheWordMC 60d has swivel lcd of course, has a strong body, manual audio levels, better battery (1000 pics), top lcd, 5.3 fps on stills, better auto focus (all 9 points are cross-type), more ISO values and wireless flash.
HI, I am shooting a documentary with my Canon 550 D (or T2i) and I need to record interviews. What kind of MIC should I get for this? I would ideally like to use a cordless lapel mic.

Hmm Nikon's new D5100 has a Mic-In too. I film with it and i never would give my camera away ;) - Maybe i upload a Video of my technical Equipment ;) - Much greetings from Germany :)
I have a question, I play Acoustic Guitar and I'm thinking of buying an HDSLR to help me (as one of its points) in shooting Videos so what sound configuration do you think gonna work the best I mean Can this Rode Mic or any other external Mic provide good sound for Music being recorded in a Video?
Hey Matt! I'm planning to focus more to make Short films, outdoors and indoors, should I get a shotgun mic like the Rode Video Mic with a Deadcat.. or should I get a Lavalier mic like a Zoom H1 with a Redhead?
@JamesDaFreak id get this setup, canon 600d, zoom h1, rode videomic, 50mm lens, 18-55, monopod/tripod, extra batteries, viewfinder. youll look pro if you also have a separate person doing audio with good headphones and a boom mic. all this under 2000$
@hitthedeckstudios well, i'm using 60d, 50 f/1.8 and 18-200 f3.5-5.6 using a Rode VideoMicPro with DeadCatVMP now. planning to get a Zoom H4n, boompole, and a video tripod, planning to get a viewfinder to. thanks for the piece of advice :P still trying to make short films, wanna be a Movie Director and own my own Pictures company, still 13. long way to go :)
@JamesDaFreak king of same here, im 13 and one day want to run my own company of stuntmen, photographers, videographers, and fx/vfx movie experts. i plan on buying the 600d soon after trying it out and falling in love with it. im aslo getting a rode videomic and blue yeti mic. also other accesories like monopod and viewfinder. my budget is under 1500$. hope you go far in the video industry, one day i may be working for you!!!!
can you recommend a cheap fisheye and a lens kit for a 60d. i may buy a Canon EOS 60D 18-55mm. if i buy that will the fisheye attachment (that you have) fit it? because i film skateboarding and the fisheye makes it better, but i don't want to spend like 800 dollars on a single fisheye. i don't have that money. please, answer.
@PetrooliTV I'd recommend just a cheap fisheye attachment. I use one from Opteka that works well. Just do a search on Amazon and you'll see several options.
I'm looking at getting a DSLR for video but am not sure if the 18-55mm kit lens is any good. I want to be able to zoom a little bit but still be able to achieve relatively shallow depths of field. Any suggestions?
@MattsMacintosh Awesome.. I just watched it. My main dilemma is whether to get the kit lens.. or get just the body and get the 50mm 1.8 for 119.99. I'm just starting out and I think the kit would be fine for me right now as it does a little of everything. 50mm will be my next purchase though after a stabilizer. I noticed you got the 60D.. You think the T3I is a good alternative for a little less?
@zackademics Yeah, the T3i is an awesome camera. I just got to handle one for the first time this weekend and it seems like a great mix between the T2i and 60D.
great video thanks, I was going to ask about the gorillapod in the background, it looks like the SLR model, I was thinking of getting one is it worth it do you find yourself using it with the 60d. thanks
Hey Matt I have a question: the eos 60d comes with one of these 2 lenses: 18-135mm or 18-200mm, which is 170$ more expensive. is the 200mm worth the extra price? is the difference minimal or huge? also keep in mind that i will use this for video mainly, than photography. thanks for youe advice!
@SuperAzproductions I would say you can start with the kit lens to get the hang of the camera, but lenses make a HUGE difference in terms of quality and flexibility.
@MattsMacintosh If I get the eos 60d with the lens kit, and the rode shotgun, will I have cinema like quality? Are the lenses in the kit good enough for not buying others? And can you explain what the lenses in the kit pack actually do? thanks matt. Thanks for replying.
@SuperAzproductions Well, with any lens on it you'll be able to record great HD footage. "Cinema quality" is not just the raw footage, but also good post production. The kit lens for the 60D is usually the 18-135mm, but I think you can get it with the 18-55 as well. As for what they do-- the lens is what makes capturing a usable image possible; the camera won't work without one. It sounds like you should do some basic DSLR research before you make a purchase.
@MattsMacintosh So, if I buy the body only, I won't be able to record video or take pictures? So If I buy it I must buy it with the lenses? and what is the difference between 18-135mm and 18-55. is the 18-135 widescreen? Thanks again!
@SuperAzproductions Yes, you will need at least one lens. The 18-135mm refers to the focal length, it has nothing to do with wide screen (aspect ratio). I recommend you do A LOT more research about basic photography before you spend this much on a camera. Maybe start with something a little more simple like a Flip HD. I wouldn't get an SLR for video until you understand things like focal ratio, ISO, exposure, focal length, etc...
@MattsMacintosh Well, I don't paln to use it for photography, I mainly want to shoot video. I want a camera that will be of the best, so that I won't need to change my camera again. Maybe I'll try research for those but I am pretty sure I will go with that camera. Thanks for your help man! I subscribed!
What is the Umbrella kit you have? Does it have a yellow or orange glow at all when you are recording? Do you find that it is not bright enough, or does it work well?
@Coryewing1 You have to get the right bulbs (high watts) to get rid of the yellowish light. You could also adjust the white balance on the camera. I actually "warm" all my colors in post, so a little yellow/orange tint doesn't bother me.
I own the 60d and Rode Stereo Videomic. Since I have similar set up, I have a question about how are you dealing with the hum and buzz sound with the videomic.
are you using any other equipment to reduce the hum and buzz?
@clamusic89 I do tweak the audio a little in post, but not much. I do use a shielded cable to bring the mic closer to me (I don't use it on the shoe mount). I think that helps.

maxblanke91 8 months ago
I am in the market for a new camera for videos, and I am choosing between the Canon 7d or the Sony NEX VG 10. I am leaning towards the Canon, but I would need to buy external mics etc. Also, I am thinking that the Sony has the advantage of a video viewfinder, better internal mic, and better form factor, although one disadvantage of both is the lack of manual gain control.

@TheWordMC 60d has swivel lcd of course, has a strong body, manual audio levels, better battery (1000 pics), top lcd, 5.3 fps on stills, better auto focus (all 9 points are cross-type), more ISO values and wireless flash.
For $100-$200 more, this features worth for me.

HI, I am shooting a documentary with my Canon 550 D (or T2i) and I need to record interviews. What kind of MIC should I get for this? I would ideally like to use a cordless lapel mic.
Thanks

Hello Matt,
I have a question, I play Acoustic Guitar and I'm thinking of buying an HDSLR to help me (as one of its points) in shooting Videos so what sound configuration do you think gonna work the best I mean Can this Rode Mic or any other external Mic provide good sound for Music being recorded in a Video?

Hey Matt! I'm planning to focus more to make Short films, outdoors and indoors, should I get a shotgun mic like the Rode Video Mic with a Deadcat.. or should I get a Lavalier mic like a Zoom H1 with a Redhead?

@JamesDaFreak I think the H1 would be a lot better if you are shooting short film style videos.

can you recommend a cheap fisheye and a lens kit for a 60d. i may buy a Canon EOS 60D 18-55mm. if i buy that will the fisheye attachment (that you have) fit it? because i film skateboarding and the fisheye makes it better, but i don't want to spend like 800 dollars on a single fisheye. i don't have that money. please, answer.

@PetrooliTV I'd recommend just a cheap fisheye attachment. I use one from Opteka that works well. Just do a search on Amazon and you'll see several options.
MattsMacintosh 10 months ago
@MattsMacintosh but does it fit at the 60D 18-55mm? and i'll make some research, thanks!
PetrooliTV 10 months ago
@PetrooliTV Depends on which one you buy. Most come with 52-58mm thread adapters, so odds are it will fit.

MattsMacintosh 1 year ago
@MattsMacintosh Awesome.. I just watched it. My main dilemma is whether to get the kit lens.. or get just the body and get the 50mm 1.8 for 119.99. I'm just starting out and I think the kit would be fine for me right now as it does a little of everything. 50mm will be my next purchase though after a stabilizer. I noticed you got the 60D.. You think the T3I is a good alternative for a little less?
zackademics 1 year ago
@zackademics Yeah, the T3i is an awesome camera. I just got to handle one for the first time this weekend and it seems like a great mix between the T2i and 60D.

SuperAzproductions 1 year ago
@SuperAzproductions I would say you can start with the kit lens to get the hang of the camera, but lenses make a HUGE difference in terms of quality and flexibility.
MattsMacintosh 1 year ago
@MattsMacintosh If I get the eos 60d with the lens kit, and the rode shotgun, will I have cinema like quality? Are the lenses in the kit good enough for not buying others? And can you explain what the lenses in the kit pack actually do? thanks matt. Thanks for replying.
SuperAzproductions 1 year ago
@SuperAzproductions Well, with any lens on it you'll be able to record great HD footage. "Cinema quality" is not just the raw footage, but also good post production. The kit lens for the 60D is usually the 18-135mm, but I think you can get it with the 18-55 as well. As for what they do-- the lens is what makes capturing a usable image possible; the camera won't work without one. It sounds like you should do some basic DSLR research before you make a purchase.
MattsMacintosh 1 year ago
@MattsMacintosh So, if I buy the body only, I won't be able to record video or take pictures? So If I buy it I must buy it with the lenses? and what is the difference between 18-135mm and 18-55. is the 18-135 widescreen? Thanks again!
SuperAzproductions 1 year ago
@SuperAzproductions Yes, you will need at least one lens. The 18-135mm refers to the focal length, it has nothing to do with wide screen (aspect ratio). I recommend you do A LOT more research about basic photography before you spend this much on a camera. Maybe start with something a little more simple like a Flip HD. I wouldn't get an SLR for video until you understand things like focal ratio, ISO, exposure, focal length, etc...
MattsMacintosh 1 year ago
@MattsMacintosh Well, I don't paln to use it for photography, I mainly want to shoot video. I want a camera that will be of the best, so that I won't need to change my camera again. Maybe I'll try research for those but I am pretty sure I will go with that camera. Thanks for your help man! I subscribed!

@Coryewing1 You have to get the right bulbs (high watts) to get rid of the yellowish light. You could also adjust the white balance on the camera. I actually "warm" all my colors in post, so a little yellow/orange tint doesn't bother me.

I own the 60d and Rode Stereo Videomic. Since I have similar set up, I have a question about how are you dealing with the hum and buzz sound with the videomic.
are you using any other equipment to reduce the hum and buzz?

@clamusic89 I do tweak the audio a little in post, but not much. I do use a shielded cable to bring the mic closer to me (I don't use it on the shoe mount). I think that helps.
