Yo Bruh's thought id make a thread because i'm genuinely curious on what camera setups all of yous are using

I use a Canon 550d with a Canon 17-40 f4 L, Rode video mic and a Manfrotto compact Mono pod

What ya'll using
 
my go to would be a sony a6300 on glidecam with a tokina 11-16 2.8 and videomic go, but if I'm really trying to be on my cinematic bullshit, I'll bust out my Ronin M but I have yet to lug that thing up to the mountain. I wanna try it tho
 
don't filming skiing a whole lot but currently my gear is looking like:

Canon T6s

Sigma 20mm 1.4

Canon 50mm 1.8

Tamron 28-200 3.8

Rokinon 8mm 3.5

Canon 18-55 kit lens

Canon 55-250 kit lens

Rode VMP 1

Glidecam xr-4000, Velbon Sherpa tripod, Manfrotto monopod

Looking at getting either an 85 prime, or telephoto ish lens, but that will probably come after upgrading to a full frame.

Full frame is not the way to go for video, IMO.

its not black & white one is better than the other clear winner, but the tradeoff of slower sensor readout and bigger power draw for exponentially better sensitivity is worth it to some people. My drone has basically a GH5 sensor in it and its night and day (no pun intended) difference between my sony FF bodies

I do drool over those GH5 bitrates tho, hoping Sony doesn't fuck up the A7Siii

Ye you make a really good point there, i guess i didn't take all that in to consideration aye

I guess I wasn’t super clear in my post, I personally prefer the increased light sensitivity and shallower equivalent DOF from Full frame sensors, but they use more power and are slower to readout, hence the GH5 with the tiny m4/3 sensor being able to do 4k 60p at decent bitrate and still have great battery life. There’s more trade offs than that but that’s the bulk of it. Like I said my drone basically has a GH5 sensor on it and even mounting f1.7 lenses it’s useless at dawn/dusk, where my A7Sii handles dark no problem. M4/3 is smaller/lighter/cheaper though so again it all comes down to what you prefer and what you can live without and not a absolute winner/loser

If we're talking about OP here, i think that anyone who just films skiing with their homies doesn't need to even think about a full frame sensor, I suppose thats what i meant before.

tru I thought you were speaking more generally, and I know you know all this so I was also speaking generally but I guess it’s not the right audience
