Amaran 300C and Amaran Spotlight SE Product Review | Best Lighting Combination Ever!
Просмотров 10 тыс.10 месяцев назад
I have honestly never been so excited about a light and a lighting modifier before. Using lights to up your production value in videos is a widely known fact. However, what I noticed is that there aren't many videos talking about how a spotlight can change the way you light your sets. Ever since adding one to my kit, I feel like I was able to take my work to the next level. The differences are ...

Day Trip To Blue Mountains Travel Guide (Touristy Areas)
Thanks for an informative video. I think you did an amazing jobs explaining things. I watch a few videos on the Expodsic and everyone does it different. Does it matter from what location you set your exposure? You set it where the subject would be posing Someone else set the exposure from where you would take the photo. A couple Nikon shooters didn’t mention setting the exposure at all. Personally I think it’s best to set the exposure but does it matter from what location?
If you had compared the 70-200GM+2x with the 100-400GM images at 400mm - that would have been helpful in terms of choosing which lens to buy. The results in the way you tested are as one would have expected for any teleconverter.
Did you have to take altitude pills?
Wonder if A7RIV would fit in this housing since A7SIII fits in older A7RIV seafrog housing?
I highly doubt it would. I think the A7RIV has it's own housing.
awesome video man and love that you used dogs as it made me smile 😄
Aren't You THAT One Kid On Penn and Teller #StopLYing -jk
You have an annoying accent, and you talked too fast. Sorry.
Damn, it all bleached. It used to be so colourful 10 years ago it was insane. That's pretty sad to watch 😔
Great video and thanks for all these informations! Question. Which port were you using at 01:02? This shot looks fantastic! And can you please tell me which bag you use? Best regards
Hi, I was curious to know how to find this apartment to rent and if possible can share any leads or update to find a similar place.
Great move! Getta hell outta 'Little red useless dot' before you get too old and unemployable... Nice weather and natural scenic beaches, costs and highlands, including simple ski resorts at Mt Buller and Thredbo.
Thank you for your review Hello from France See you
what's a good shutter upped for under water ?
6:10 that squirrel shows no fear. I suspect people have been feeding him? Btw thanks for the great and informative video. You guys make it seem doable. 💪🏽
Nice, quick review :) Quick question. Which bag you using for the housing? 0:40
Thank you for the amazing video! Just wondering what camera you used to film your journey? Was it a go pro mounted to your head? Was it hard to hold a selfie stick/tripod+ phone camera while on those steep/narrow spots? Are you afraif of heights? Was it scary?
You got a like from me just for the apology to your wife. Useful information too.
Best video on a lens review hands down. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words!
Great video. However I would definitely recommend having a look at the Salted Line of Seafrogs housings if you’re looking for a more premium version of the Seafrogs brand
Thanks mate! I actually have it and done a video about it as well hahaha. Love it!
wingspan :D nice home btw :)
It's a fun game haha. And thank you!
nice video....i would love to see some REAL life scenarios shoots so i know if this price is really worth the weight of it...otherwise $6000 for a tripod is just too expensive....i mean if this tripod was motorized and did some things that was push button - key in the height and it automatically goes to that height....etc...might be interesting...also it should come WITH a motorised slider part as part of the set....but alas nothing like that....maybe future models will be more interesting... thank you ...
I have used this for quite some time now and I will tell you it is worth it. There are many cheaper alternatives now, but I would still pick this. The quality is second to none. The small rig potato jet tripod looks really good through and I will get that for my second cam. A cam would still live on this tripod :)
I used a Sachtler system with an FSB 8T head with SpeedLock 75 legs, which I liked all except for the fact that the pan bar always slipped when tilting, no matter how HARD I tightened it onto the head! Please tell me the Aktiv series has better "teeth" on the rosettes so the pan bars don't slip!
No slipping problems on the aktiv!
love it man, great energy
Thanks mate!
🙌

Hello Bernard, thank you for this great Video! 😊 I have a Sony Alpha 7R V and I am not sure if it is really an advantage to use the S35 Mode for Videos because of the 5K readout oversampled to 4K. Here I have to stick with 30fps and the XAVC-S Format. Otherwise I could use the XAVC-HS Format and 60fps but then I have no S35 Crop with Oversampling. What would you suggest?
honestly, I think these things don't matter too significantly. The difference would be negligible. Just focus on composition and lighting and that is what your audience would pick up on haha
1st march and at the same month lockdown in Malaysia
I did this right before covid lockdown lol
Vídeo muito bom, parabéns pelo trabalho!
I dont understand haha
great reviews, keep posting more.
It's been tough with life but I will try!
Thank you for making this video Bernard. Can I use the sennheiser mke 2 ew lav mic with rode wireless go?
Unfortunately, you can't
Any update on your thoughts of the glass dome ports?
So far, no scratches, but no visible image quality improvement
did you tried interchanging the lens hoods?
I don't think you are supposed to
Super useful. Thank you! Keep on the good work!
Thanks, will do!
What underwater wide angle lense do you recommend for Sony A7Riii?
16-35 gmii very amazing lens!
Thank you ❤
:)
2.8 is the sweet spot in my opinion. 1.8 and faster usually dont be sharp. I like seeing the subject significantly sharper than background when going for bokeh
I love f.18 haha
Great comprehensive review! I would like to seek your opinion. Given my primary interest in photography, particularly in areas such as travel, street, landscape, architecture, and occasional portraits, which Sony lens would you recommend: the 35mm f/1.4 GM or the 35mm f/1.8?
Thank you for your kind words. I would say the GM would be better, but if your priority is lightweight, and affordability, I am sure you won't regret the f1,8 either. Hope this helps!
@@BernardLau1991 appreciate your advice on this. Cheers
Another question - can you see the difference when you take photos in the night by using GM f/1.4 and f/1.8
What is the best time do ser them? Early morning? Or late afternoon?
Evening is the best time IMO
Super35 mode shouldn’t at all increase noise because it’s the same sensor and pixel pitch. Not buying it.
:)
All it does is crop the frame. There will technically not be more noise but it will make it a bit more noticeable just as cropping in would. On the R cameras it actually makes the video much better because it utilizes down sampling instead of the pixel binning it does in FF mode.
Very nice edit and transitions Bernard! Love it! Good work! :)
Thank you! Can't take the credit. My editor did this for me while I filmed it haha. But I did plan and shoot with the transitions in mind :)
Thank you for pointing out the situations when it's NOT suitable to use Expodisc.
Hope you liked the video :)
i own Both 35 1,4 GM and 35 1.8 and there is no difference in sharpness i was so confused. and 1.8 is so small and compact. Image from 35 1,4 looks more simple and 1.8 has more art look. The only Benefit of GM is its colors more clean and has no color tint. Im thinking about to sell it and change for zoom lens .
I have both zoom and primes, I think there is a use case for both and don't sell it unless you really need to haha
Thanks for the video 😊
Welcome :)
Very well done video and practical evaluation, Bernard. Thank you! As an amateur photographer who enjoys many aspects of the hobby, from landscape, to city walks, interesting faces, low-light and architecture I own both the 90mm (for macro) and the 85 f/1.8…because the salesman sold it to a newbie. Can you think of any reason for owning both these lenses? I could return the 85, pay about $100 restocking fee and just move on, or keep both and chalk it up to experience. What do you think? Thanks for all your videos; I am glad I discovered them. Bravo! Best, Will
Thank you for your kind words. :) For me, if I were to ever get an 85mm, I would go for the 85 F1.4. Make the difference more distinct. Or you can do what I did, I got the 35 f1,8 and the 50 f1.4 instead. Also great lens for taking portraits, but different styles. Why get a 90 and an 85 for the "same look"
Why so much SOFTNESS around the edges of the image underwater?... Is this the dome port? ....or the lens?... Its really bad, wow. Its like you loose 30% of the image on the outsides.
good eye for detail. It was the dome port. I think that's why they discontinued this port as well.
@@BernardLau1991 So this is the old acrylic port? ....NOT the new glass ports they offer?
Great review! Have you attached any weights to the housing to counter the buoyancy?
Yeah I attach a tray handle and 2 video dive lights. That usually makes it negatively buoyant. Alternatively, I zip tie a sciba weight on it but it isn't as balanced.
Love you and loving you sabah mainland Filipines.. Higubma tie guma ko kamo...

Dang! Nice work.
Thank you!
Hi, kindly help me out with a problem. For jewelry sparkle, would you say amaran 100x is better or 100 x s?, is one Cob and not the other?
both are cob lights. The S are supposedly more color accurate.
Excellent and thorough review!
Glad you liked it!
