Shop videos


 

Maybe slightly off topic, but wondering if the members would be willing to share what gear they use to shoot shop videos? Especially if you self-shoot without an assistant. Are you using a phone? Dedicated camera and tripod? Something like an Osmo 3?

Bob,
?
I use Four cameras:
?
  1. Sony Alpha 6100 - was the main, now shared with the next camera (with a Rode wireless lavalier system)
  2. DJI Osmo Pocket 3
  3. Apple iPhone 16 pro max
  4. GoPro Hero 11 - no longer used as I cannot correct the banding in the video with my new lights in the new shop (yes I have tried the built in correction with the GoPro and I have also tried to do it in post with DaVinci but it is just to much of a hassle)
?
I self shoot and have two tripods.? I like the Osmo pocket 3 but the Sony has slightly better video and the wireless mic system I have works better than the Osmo.? The Osmo is easy though.

I do a LOT of shop still and video photography. ?Although I have a full studio rig for??work, I don’t bring any of those cameras or lighting into the shop - ever. ?Instead, most of my shop work is done with an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad Pro, and a Canon EOS M50 Mirrorless for vlogging. ?I find the iPhone newer models to be absolutely fantastic in terms of image quality, and is what I used exclusively for my recent??on indexable tooling.?

?I like the Cannon M50 for blogging because of the flip-out screen that moves to the side rather than over or under which compromises use with tripod or on-cameral lighting. ?This way I can see the composition while making videos with me in the frame and still use it with a mount underneath or with hot-shoe lighting. ?If I had to make the choice today, I might opt for the?Osmo Pocket 3 like Paul has because of the subject tracking capability. ?If I wanted a compact interchangeable lens DLSR for vlogging today, I would probably go for the Sony?Alpha ZV-E10, although I haven’t tested it. ?Still looking for a mirrorless DLSR with a body in Mauve.

To me, one of the most important and often overlooked aspects of shop photography is how to hold the camera (if not handheld). ?Although I used tripods for studio and field work, I detest using a tripod in the shop - simply because they are difficult to position and set up, and are a terrible trip hazard, all because of the splayed legs. ?Instead I use a Manfroto setup with Super-Clamp (that I can attach basically anywhere) in conjunction with an??system, ball head and Arca-Swiss quick mount system. ?You can see this setup in this video: ??



For those who don’t know, the??system is a dovetail-type quick release mount that attaches to the threaded tripod mount and allows for quick release and moving the camera from one mounting setup to another without lots of fuss. ?

In addition to the articulating arm system, I use a really sweet desktop tripod () with ball head that converts to a selfie stick as shown below. I use this with the??(although there are other similar brands) with the Arca-Swiss mount for quick release. ?

For camera work on machines, I have adapted the Arca-Swiss quick mount to the Noga Mag Base units with articulating arms as shown below. ?I have a number of strategically placed steel plates overhead which I can use as mounting points for this Noga setup.

Hope this is informative.

What do folks use for editing videos?


 

I use iphone 14 pro for now. ?Just started doing more videos. ?I'm learning to edit them with LumaFusion on ipad. ?
I'm using concrete Home Depot bucket with gas pipe and 3D Printed articulating arm with Edelkrone FlexTILT head on it. ?Here is a little video overview i did of the setup

David Best - thank you for posting this. ?I have been looking for a replacement for my Joby for tabletop (or slidertop). ?Good to see the Surui in action.

Rohit,
?
I use DaVinci Resolve 19.? It is pretty powerful, one time charge and updates pretty frequently.? If you have a powerful PC and a graphics card, it can use the acceleration.
?
It can do almost anything.? I learn how to use it more and more as I go.
?
PK


 

I also use davinci resolve. I like that the pro version is a one time fee instead of a subscription, and it's an all-in-one software suite.
?
For recording, I upgraded to a crane jib and love it.
