  • you can just use Manual mode and set up aperture to whatever you like and it won't change during filming.

    why you have to do such trick??

  • @v0vee This video was made before Canon released the firmware to make the 5D Mark II video shoot in manual...it was only auto before then.

  • Maybe Pentax will bring out a firmware upgrade like Canon did to allow manual control?

  • Yes, and polarising filters. Anything that stops light getting in without affecting the image.

  • Just be careful when using lenses like the 70-200 L 2.8 IS...use the tripod mount on the lens to attach to the tripod and let the camera hang.

    Don't add extra weight like the battery grip either...
