My Camera Gear 2

A quick update on some of my newer gear for my Canon 60D rig, including the Jag35 DSLR baseplate and 15mm rod systems as well as the D Focus follow focus.

The 24-70 on a 60D just didn't work out for me. I just felt that it may work better on a full sensor ala 5D. It was especially under performing when it came to still photography hooked up to my 60D. How do you like it so far?

@pstchaseki People seem to love or hate the 24-70mm. Its as heavy as a tank, gets a little soft at wide apertures and high focal lengths, and doesn't have IS. That being said, I still think its the best option when compared to its competitors.

I see an apple 2c

[MattsMacintosh]

@shutterthree Yep. I've got a video about it on my channel if you want to check it out.

I have 2 questions and it would be greatly appreciated if they were answered.

1. What editing program do you use?

2.How do you get those black bars on the top and bottom of the video. I like it and I think it makes the video look more professional.

Thanks! Enjoying your videos.

@wiredtunes This was done in FCP 7, I'm currently using FCP X. The letterbox was done by simply cropping the footage.

Mr. Matt, I have to say that I was blown away to find out that you shot this entire video using an iPhone. I can't shoot anything nearly as good as this with my own. I also have to say that this was the first video of yours that I've seen. I'll definitely check out the others! But if you haven't already, you should consider making a video tutorial on how to shoot some decent video using an iPhone and show what tools you use to achieve these great shots! Thanks for inspiring me! lol

[MattsMacintosh]

@CREESTAFAH Thanks for checking out my video. A lot of people have asked for tips on shoot better video with the iPhone, so I'll probably do a video on it.

i literally was mindblown when you revealed it was shot on an iphone, haha!

[maxminusamillion]

...THIS WAS SHOT WITH YOUR IPHONE? kudos my friend. kudos

Would you say the 60D is better for web videos, or films? I need a good camera for a feature film I'm doing. Thanks!

This guy makes a better video with JUST an iPhone than 95% of Youtubers can with legit cameras.

[MegaSam179]

Is there anyway for your phone camera to look more professional without tripods and all that stuff?

[TheRoboPlay]

Why did you change from the t2i to the 60d?

[mattiemaas]

@MattsMacintosh dear matt, i just bought a cheap follow focus, but i've got a sony slt 35, so it focusses by itself, even when filming... but my question is: can u use a follow focus for zooming? because that's a issue...

grtz mattiemaas,

ps watch my vids and like!

[FrozenXM898]

i have that exact same tripod for my 60D!

[lefonceur26]

With an iPhone? Matt, you are a genius, man.
