That means a lot! Thanks so much!

Which software do u use?...and how do u edit?

I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro@ I'll show my workflow in that software in part 2 :)

I have always wondered how to record audio with 120fps (slowmo), is it always all foley? Loved the video btw! :)

Thank you! 😄

Thank you! And that's a great setup. My next purchase is likely a larger shotgun mic to compliment my smaller one. Love the Zoom field recorders, so handy!

Thank you! Depending on the mic, it can pick up on a lot of noises behind the camera. I have a few shots with my breathing because my face was right up against the LCD screen while recording 🤦‍♂️😅

​@@StefanoIaniro ha, yea I have been trying my hand at some wildlife video lately with a shotgun mic and I've been getting the birds but also my stepping on ice constantly ruining it 😅 too cold to stand still these days

Hahaha, yup! I filmed this tutorial in -20°C so winter is definitely on its way!

Yay! Sadly I had a whole series planned abroad revolved around wildlife filmmaking, but 2020 had other plans 😅

Happy to hear! Thanks for watching!

So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much. And congrats on the retirement! Goodluck with the wildlife!

So happy to help! Good luck with everything 😁

That's great! So happy to help. Let me know how it goes 🙂

Me too 😀

I know this is old comment but go plug 120/24 into a calculator and see what you get

Thank you! I'm so curious to see what cameras will be like in 10 years. They just keep getting better and better!

@@StefanoIaniro Very True. I was also wondering if you tried any variable ND filters on 200-600.

@@KIRANGHADGE Not on the 200-600, but I have tried it on the Sigma 100-400. It does the trick but the I need to find some higher quality ones. The current model of variable ND I have messes with colors a little bit too much.

@@StefanoIaniro Sure, Thanks. There are few good options but 95mm makes it difficult. Let's hope for new options.

Happy New Year buddy! 🎉

Thanks so much! 😁

Thanks so much! Happy to help 🙂

Thanks! Happy New Year to you, as well!

Thanks so much!

Can’t wait for your new post!

I recently got a new camera and these tips are really helping me! 😁😁

@@sashagutin9218 So happy to hear! Congrats on the new camera 😁

Happy New Year! This is a Browning BTU-WD 3-in-1 Parka 🙂

Thanks! I usually keep it off unless I'm doing tilts/pans or there's a lot of wind. But even then, it's not totally necessary if you have a good tripod/head. When I was using my old Sigma 150-600, if stabilization was on during video, you'd see the frame shifting around as the IS tried to correct already stable footage.

It's definitely tempting! I'll probably hold off though. I wouldn't really have a use to have both an R4 and the A1. I would honestly use all 3 of those modes. Each have their place for filming wildlife. The 120p in 4K would likely be my go-to though!

Thanks so much!

Happy to help! Thank you!

Thank you! The R4 does have more megapixels, but the a73 is better at handling noise. So although overall I get better results with the R4, the differences most of the time are pretty similar.

@@StefanoIaniro Oh I'm kindda surprised as in crop mode 26mp is way more than 10mp, so I expected that clear image zoom in 4k should reduce the quality far less...

Yeah there is a difference, but not huge. Higher MPs aren't as beneficial in video as they are in photography. That's why the new a7siii is a 12 MP camera. It's easier to get cleaner video with fewer megapixels. With that said, having the R4 is great for clear image zoom. But if it's a low light situation, I still rather have the a7iii for better noise performance.

@@StefanoIaniro Very useful point! Thanks

Thanks a lot, Nick! If you're looking for some free foley sounds, there's actually some in KZfaq Studio. If you go under Audio Library on the left side, they have both music and sound effects. There's not really a ton of bird/animal calls, but for ambient noises like wind, trees rustling, rivers, etc. They have some pretty good options.

@@StefanoIaniro Thank you so much for the info!

The rule of thumb is to have your shutter speed double your frame rate. So 24fps = 1/50th, 30fps = 1/60th, 60fps = 1/125th... and so forth. I'll talk about this in part two of this video 🙂

@@StefanoIaniro thanks, very helpful. One more question- What record setting do you use for the 120 fps? There are a couple on my Sony, 120 P 100M or 120 P 60 M. Looking forward to your next week's video, thank you !!

@@kristiekillam8864 I always go for the higher bitrate/better quality, so 120fps 100M. Happy to help 🙂

I think the Manfrotto head is one of the best "bang for your buck". The pan/tilt is fluid, it's built well and can hold a lot of weight, it's a quick release plate that's arca swiss compatible, and the arm is removable/adjustable to both sides of the tripod head. An overall winner for tripod heads!

Thanks so much! Great questions! I have a few parts of the editing video planned that will answer those questions. 🙂

Thanks! For quick turnaround, I use Cine2 the most. It's a nice everyday profile. Not as flat as SLog where I need to put in a lot of work to color grade it, but still flat enough where I can push the colors a bit and the footage won't begin to fall apart.

@@StefanoIaniro thanks alot for your answer. Just started experimenting with filming wildlife so your tips came just at the right time !

@@igorgoblos Happy to help! Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂

Thank you! It will depend on your needs. The Rode Micro is a good bang for your buck, but it does pick up some noise from behind the camera as well. So if you find yourself in situations with a lot of distracting noises around you, it's probably not the best option. Ideally, for far away wildlife you'd use something more directional, like some of the bigger shotgun mics, just so you can zero in on the specific sound you want and bring less emphasis to other distracting noises. But if you're in areas where it's mostly natural sounds, the Micro will work well because it'll also pick up the rest of these sounds, providing an environment that sounds more "full", and not just one sound. Same thing goes for the external recorder. It's great if you want to capture ambient sounds of say, the whole forest, a river flowing, etc. but it's not very directional.

@@StefanoIaniro Thanks :) what about the vlogging mic?

Thanks! Depends the camera, on the Sony a1 I'm using SLog3 mostly. On my a7iii, the SLog profile isn't as good, so I typically alternate between the different Cine profiles.
