Thank you Nolan, you're one of the reasons I was able to fully commit in starting my own film business, recently in May 2020 (haha during a fricken pandemic). I even got the G85 as my first upgrade, from a Nikon D3300 😂. But I've been able to continuously grow during this short time period, and also started to get some work in wedding videos! Keep up the great work man, truly inspiring 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Long-winded one today! Hope you enjoy. Keep me updated on what you're doing film-wise this summer!

It's been great to watch you on your journey and seeing you land on this particular setup. You don't see many younger folks using this manual focus powerhouse. Not much you CAN'T accomplish with that combo video wise for sure but so many folks are scared away from manual focus but you really can't beat that quality, for the price, or the creative freedom you get by manual focus pulling.

Congratulations on your baby! I love the wisdom you shared in this video! I really appreciate your words about building relationships rather than just uploading and networking online.

Really enjoyed the balance discussion at the end. We all hit a wall, and need to find the importance. I'm glad you're staying true to yourself and happiness. KZfaq isn't a priority, it's always been a place to share memories.

Always great to watch your videos! Congrats on the new baby!

Congratulations Nolan on baby and the house.. and I watched till the end. :)

Praying for your journey! I’m 48 and seen to be transitioning into filmmaking myself. I’ll be here on your channel along the way for support. Blessings!

Congrats on the new home and the baby. You will be very busy and tiring but the journey will be joyful and happy. God bless!🙂👍

I think this is the best video I have seen from you, not because the others were not good or anything but this one in particular you open up and shows another face very humane of yourself which is great. I am happy for you and your wife, that's a good responsability right there. Also great news about your wedding filmmaking career, that is pretty dope. Hopefully all the things you want can flow accordingly. Good luck and see you later man!

Nolan, congrats first on the baby...that is great news. Also, congrats on the house...that is a big step...but one you will enjoy. I too have the GH5/G85 combo and have been using those cameras for the past couple years. You mentioned batteries for them. While I carry several for each camera, it was a pain to have to change out the battery while continuously recording and not have to worry about the battery fully dying and the camera shutting down. I would like to share a power concept with you that I use and get six hours of battery life. On both the GH5 and G85, I use a device called the Raeisusp DC Drive Cable. I have one version for the GH5 and another version for the G85. This device replaces the battery and plugs into an external USB battery bank of which I use the Anker 13000 series. When I do this, I get six hours of continuous battery life. One DC Drive cable and one Anker 13000 battery is the same cost as one OEM battery for the camera. I took it one step further in I put the DC Drive cable in my handgrip of which if I use the full six hours, when that battery dies, the camera will automatically switch to the internal battery of which I can now attach a fresh Anker 13000 (I carry three of them) and then the cameral will switch from the internal battery back to the Anker 13000 in the handgrip for another 6 hours. I thought I would NEVER use this much power, but like you and weddings, I have found that I was incorrect in that assumption. I use the Anker 13000 for a reason. The camera requires a minimum of 2.4A. The two USB ports on the Anker 13000 put out 3.0A. This is okay and better as you then have some head space between 3.0 and 2.4A in case the battery bank takes a dip in power...I have yet to have it dip below the required 2.4A. Just sharing a power tip with you. Also, by the way, sorry to hear you won’t be on for a while. I value your insight, ideas, and fresh knowledge as you being new to the game, you provide a fresh perspective that some of the extremely experienced youtubers often skip. Again, congrats on ALL your news. Let us know when you are coming back. We’ll be waiting.

Watched till to the end. Congratulations on your baby

Hi Nolan made it true the end :-). But it is wonderful to hear of all you progress and congratulations to you ans your wife on your baby and the house. Your pastor is a very wise man. Take care and God bless you and will see you when your back, be loving to hear who all went.

As a Filmmaker in AZ, what your paster freind said hit hard! Thank dude! If ya have any friends getting married in AZ let me know!

Hey Nolan, grats on the new place and the new baby! Stanton is a nice place, I'm over there all the time. I stumbled across your channel because I was looking for information on the GH5 and saw your test footage from Humpback Rocks. We live over in the Charlottesville area and love to hike the Blueridge. I'm also into hammocking and I was wondering if you or your wife were members of the Hammock Forums, there are a number of hangs every year in this area. Anyway best of luck with your life changes, and who knows we might cross paths sometime. Cheers!

So excited for y'all 😁

Congrats on the come up with your wedding career as well as the family stuff. I would reccomend you get 1 additional gh5 and 1 g85. I speak from experience and here is why... VLOG. If you havent started shooting with VLOG, get the upgrade and start experimenting with grading it. It gives you so much control over the look of your images. Vlog is so much easier to deal with than cine-d and i love the final results much more. I also rarely shoot with more than 2 cameras so having an g85 as backup is cool, but not havimg the full capabilities of the gh5 on your b cam may become restrictive.

Good luck to you and your family!

Glad to see your progression with your filmmaking career and this is the reason why I subscribed to your channel in the first place. You also convinced me to use Panny mirrorless camera. What an inspiration! Congrats to you and your family. I have one question though, what is that mic you have clipped on your shoulders? It's my main problem now as I might be shooting my first wedding video 😅 and would love to have some good audio recording too. Thank you again!

Congrats brother!

Congrats Nolan! A bit late, but congrats for your new house and new baby! :)

Congratulations man.

Congrats

Nice video. Congrats! I like the lighting and colors. Did you color grade this or what color profile? I'm considering getting the GH5 but I'm nervous about the inconsistent Panasonic colors. I have G85 now and often get bad skin tones. Do you have any advice about this topic? 📷👍🏼

Thank you Nolan for all your professional videos. Didn't you have some autofocus noise issues with sigma 18-35 lens? And please which lav mic did you use on this video? Cheers from France.

So happy to hear from you. Had one question. Do you think sigma 18-35 is to big for g85. I will be staying as always

Hey I just watched you lighting video. I wanna purchase the Neewer 700W lighting kit but I was wondering if they get really hot?

Nice video man new subscriber here

May I ask why you changed your camera from GH5 to Fujifilm, what was the reason ore the problems and do you still like the G85 /in Europe we have only the 81 Model still in 2021? Cheers and thanks ?

have autofocus issues with 18-35🤔🤔

Quick question because i have a wedding this Saturday... What lens do you typically use on a gibal at a wedding? I have a prime 50mm f1.8 and the Sigma 17-50mm 2.8. Not sure what lens to put on the gimbal.

Hi, Nolan What is better for LUMIX g85 Sigma 16mm & 25mm 1.4 F or Sigma 18-35 F1.8 with wiltrox speedbooster?
