The Bogen Manafroto company has good mid level tripods. They are heavy duty and last years and years. Just make sure you get one that can rotate to do the landscapes and portraits and that has a fluid head..

Next time I'm at the studio I will try to find it and find a name on it. I have owned it for a few years now, so I can't remember who makes it or where I got it.

Wheres Video mode? I want a 5D solely for Video only...

[jonvideo]

Its on the back of the camera to the right of the viewfinder if you are holding it up to you.  Not on the dial.

@abosaber1 it looks like our distance from what is considered semi expert and pro is smaller nowadays. d7000 is all many of us need. check out... freedslr . c0m change 0 with o and take the chance to win a new Nikon D7000

any tips for a good make of tripod that i can use for photography and videography because i like to take pics in portrait that means the wedge plate is turned from landscape to portrait -

I had to pause this already great video for 1 second; if you bought the 5D ii and shoot full auto; please visit a bookstore. The 5D ii takes it very personal when you shoot full auto. Please grab a field guide. Happy shooting.

@jonvideo I see the 7D training DVDs, but not the 5D mark ii??

@shinjiakira Want to sell it?? Cheap??

[shinjiakira]

Great video! Went out & got this cam, cost me and arm and a leg. My relative with no photography knowledge expected an awesome photo with his first point and shoot (since the 5d is so expensive), seen the result and said a simple digital camera can do the same thing. What do I tell these fools? Story of my life

It's funny that people with absolutely no knowledge in photography owning pro-equipment while I know there are quite a lot of students who are taking photography classes in university can only afford lowly Rebels and kit lenses.

Well life isn't fair after all :D

btw if any of you decides to buy a good DSLR make sure you also have enough money to get some high quality lenses for it too. Ideally Canon L lenses or if you don't mind MF Zeiss lenses.

@jonvideo i am one of those obnoxious ppl who know nothing about cameras and went out and bought a canon 5d mark ii.....i just wanted to take nice photos like the sartorialist guy, and that's the camera he uses..

now i realize how much i need to learn. i am still trying to figure the thing out. i also bought a whole light kit etc.

but when i took a picture, the whole thing turned out white...that's when i realized i got a lot more studying to do..
