Just got the Canon 5D Mark II and plan on shooting quite a bit of video for various projects...but first we need to set up the proper tripod. Michael Mauro shows you how he modified a video fluid head to work with the Canon 5D Mark II and various lenses.

  • Dude,

    Like a lot of still shooters transitioning to video, you're missing the greatest strength of edited live video. When you show something small - USE A CUTAWAY to show the detail.

    You kept talking about the plates and screws and NEVER showed the audience any detail of what you're talking about.

    Just a word about reorienting thinking to always consider not what the shooter needs - but what the audience NEEDS to best understand the communications flow.

    Nice job. Tho.

  • Congratulations, you must be the only person in the world who dislikes the 5D mk II. :-)

  • unfortunately you uploaded in 360p only....

  • i like your comparisons! I think thats the best way people to learn about the details of what the lenses do. :) great job!!!

  • those lens had to have cost alot

  • oh shit thats huge.

  • the 5d footage looks better

  • @4Firearms You are confusing 5D with 7D. The 5D mark ii does not overheat.

  • Wow... that is one SUPER HOT GIANT LENS!!!

  • During the first 35 seconds, some type of crazy hillbilly-porno music was playing in the background; then, inexplicably after a few more seconds, space-alien disco themed music played in the background until 3:19. Without warning @ 3:34, "if zombies had an orgy" music began playing. @ 5:38, sounds seemingly emitting from my gassy grandfather's bowels played, while the cameraman changed lenses, transitioning into MacGuyver's trapped, but only temporarily, feel. 7:01, John Denver's ghost plays.

  • I notice all people do is hate on peoples youtubes videos because I guess they cant afford the equipment! WOW, NICE VID THOUGH, HOW MUCH DO YOU GUYS CHARGE FOR A VIDEO

  • @4Firearms

    Why do the 5D's overheat? This is the first time I have heard about that?

    Is it the video components that do that? That would be a lame downside especial as expensive that camera is.

    I just bought a used 5D Mk I ( the original) And I wanted it for the full frame. I'm not dying to do the video DSLR's now. So in any case...a MK II is not in my immediate future.
