With the popularity of vlogging nowadays, a lot of people are coming up with the idea of shooting their own. Every time we see those video bloggers will think, other people's video shot so well, what professional equipment will be used? I think there are mainly the following two kinds:
I.? video equipment
l?Professional video cameras: professional video cameras are made to specialize in video, it's all about serving the function of video, if in the case of not considering the cost-effective, it is certainly priority. If not considering the cost-effective case, it is certainly the priority equipment, professional video camera brands generally have SONY, RED, Blackmagic, etc., they can shoot the best quality video. But relatively speaking, their disadvantages are very obvious. Because of their "professionalism", they are designed to be used by teams, and are not suitable for a single person. And of all the equipment, he is the most unportable, requiring an entire team of professional videographers to serve him.
l? Cell phones: After years of development, cell phones now have very powerful camera performance, 4k?60, optical zoom, anti-shake and other features have been able to meet our professional shooting needs. Especially in places with enough light. Phones can also be used as the second position of a professional video camera, shooting highlights, or used as a backup for footage. And cell phones have one advantage that professional video cameras can't match, which is portability.
l?Micro-SLR: Micro-SLR as a product launched only in about 10 years, the development has been a lot of suitable for video camera body. Compared to the SLR, because of the imaging principle of the micro-single camera, its video recording function are much more powerful than the average SLR, micro-single's advantage lies in the body than a professional video camera more portable, higher cost-effective. And the peripheral supporting equipment is exceptionally rich.
l?Sports cameras: Nowadays, there are endless sports cameras. The common ones are gopro, DJI action, insta360 and so on. Such sports cameras are generally used in high speed sports or as complementary use to professional cameras. Their advantage is miniaturization, and because they are positioned as professional cameras, they have more parameters to decide for yourself compared to cell phones.
l?Lenses: Lenses used for video shooting are similar to those used for taking pictures and are compatible with each other to a certain extent, but there are still relatively big differences. Movie lenses are more environmentally adaptable and better quality than ordinary lenses, because outdoor filming often encounters harsh environments, so movie lenses are generally used all-metal lenses, and all-metal lenses are used for filming, and all-metal lenses are used for filming. all-metal production. The difference between movie lenses and general lenses also lies in the aperture and zoom ring, which are not the same as general lenses. Cinema lenses use an infinity aperture for their aperture, and the gears on the focus ring work with the focus followers.
II.? Auxiliary equipment
l?Tripod/Octopus: This is an essential piece of equipment for video shooting, where the stability of the video is very important, and they allow the video to be less jerky, which ensures that our viewing experience. Otherwise, it's hard to concentrate on a picture with too much jitter.
l?Filter: Video is not as easy to deal with as photos in many cases, so when you shoot, you have to take into account a lot of post-processing difficult to deal with the situation, such as the shutter of the video in order to match the frame rate, he is fixed, so he can only adjust the aperture or iso, if the above two parameters do not satisfy the case, then you need to nd filter, the video is not the only one, but also the most important thing is that the video is not the only one. Strong>nd filter to match the shutter and iso to adjust the brightness of the overall picture. Or if there is a luminous ratio in the picture, you need to use a gradient filter to adjust the light ratio of the picture.
l? Handheld head: It can be seen as an upgraded version of the tripod, which utilizes the principle of bionics to allow the machine to automatically offset even the presence of tiny jitters. It can better stabilize the video frame, ensuring a stable and smooth image.
These are the common professional video shooting equipment.
