hi everyone! Welcome to the 4th episode of Behind The Vlog
today I'm going to talk about
all my gear! everything I'm using for the vlogs and
what I use in which situation
simply because a lot of comments concern my gear
what I use, How etc .
so I'm going to show you absolutely everything!
I'll try to go fast aha
so I'll talk about
the image / video
then I'll talk about the audio
then the storage then the carriage and the cleaning phase
then we'll see if I have saliva left aha
so to begin with Image, there are two parts as well
the first one is about sport camera
small camera
the second part is about cinematic video
or video like this one, or travel video
to begin with the action camera
what I use
is the GoPro Hero 5 that is wonderful
I'm gonna show it to you right now! It's so tiny
It fits in one hand, this is what I use for months
to vlog, so tiny! And there's an lcd screen on the back
so it's very convenient to see what you record, compared to the older models
except the 4th with the LCD screen I know
so now it's a native screen, don't need to buy it!
you can change the battery as well, and you have to know that this is waterproof without any case!
compared to the older gopro
I can put it into the water, it's not going to do anything!
and when I want to make more cinematic videos,
or a video like I'm recording right now,
or video where I need to zoom
because with the GoPro you can't zoom
so for these videos, I'm using the Panasonic Lumix G7
it's a mirrorless camera, not a dslr
there's a difference but who cares
it's a great camera
because it can record 4K videos, it can also record up to
60 fps in 1080, that means you can do slow mo in full HD
it's going to be smooth
and in 4K, it can go up to
30fps, great as well!
and what's nice about this camera, first, it's very tiny
and then it's so lightweight comapred to canon dslr for example
so the lens I'm using right now is
the 14-42mm kit lens
it allows me to zoom, so 14mm is the wide angle
and 42mm is the zoom, to see further
currently I'm a little bit zoomed,
there It's max zoom, and then it's widest angle
so this is what I use!
most of the time, and I've also a wide angle
lens adaptor,
this is the wide angle adapter,
we can see that it's quite big, so here I see you with the fisheye effect
I can see the whole apartment right now
so this is the widest angle I have, and on the back I can plug
a macro lens, to do
some really close shot, I've never used it
I can't see anything aha, so the macro is quite useless,
for a vlogger it's definitely useless, but it was sold together so
I bought it, so what's happening with the wide angle lens adapter
it does *0.45 to my 14-42mm kit lens
so 14*0.45 and 42*0.45 = my new lens with this adapter
so it becomes a 6.3-19mm lens!
so it does the effect you can see in the skateboarding video,
you can even see the corners
you also have to know that the lumix beats the gopro in low light
it's good to know because when it's becoming a litle bit dark outside
the gopro becomes quite useless
or the image becomes grainy
grain everywhere!
it's ugly! so now let's talk audio!
I know I'm always saying the same thing but the audio is so important!
because you can't follow a video with bad song
but you can watch a video with bad image quality
for example: streaming!!!
when the audio is very bad, we look for another video
but when the image sucks, we stay, because it's how streaming works aha
so good example, and it's true also for vlogs, tutorials etc!
even more when you talk to your audience, because sometimes I add music
when we walk, or when we don't talk,
to keep the audience awake!
but when I talk,
I need a great audio, even more if you plan
to add a little song in background, if you have an ugly audio + a background music
you're going to loose all the viewers aha
about the audio,
I have two rode microphones, a really good brand, from Australia I think!
anyway, the quality is great! so the
microphone recording my voice right now is the rode videomic GO
and then I also have a smaller mic
this one is very tiny, it's the one
you can use with the gopro for example
there's a wind cover / wind cat / wind muff
it works great in windy day! even better than the videomic go
so this is the videomicro
both microphones cost around 50€
it's quite cheap for the quality, and you don't need any
battery to use them!
it's great because if you have to carry batteries for the mic
in addition to the rest ....
with gopro batteries, lumix batteries etc ... you end up with 600 batteries in your bag!
I swear I can't! I didn't come here to suffer alright???
so it's very nice
you can have better audio for sure, some mic cost more than 300€
but you need the battery etc
and I'm not doing movies for cinema
so I don't need better audio right now!
I also have a digital recorder, the
ZOOM H1 it's a great mic
it's a digital recorder, you can plug external mic to it!
so if I'm very far from the camera,
and I don't want to have a huge wire
I can use the H1, put it in my pocket, and plug
an external microphone to it
for example a lavalier mic
and then I just have to sync the audio with the video
it doesn't matter the distance
you'll hear me as if I was in front of the camera, really close
you can also record voice over with the zoom h1
for example the stop motion I did on this channel, I could have used the zoom h1
the audio from the ZOOMH1
is very wonderful
it's a stereo system
and the quality of it is awesome
all the review are great
I also have a lavalier mic!
it's use by a lot of journalists
or in tv shows! they all wear a lavalier mic
I'll show you!
this one needs a battery
but most of them don't need one
in taiwan I only found this one!
the audio is very nice
this is how I recorded all the previous behind the vlog videos!
today, no sound in the apt,
so I can use my shotgun mic
it's called shotgun mic because
it's a mic that records in only one direction, where it's pointing!
so if I turn the camera to record a landscape, you hear me less than if the camera
points at me!
and finally! I also have
a tiny microphone for my iPhone
or on the GoPro etc!
look how it's tiny!
smaller than my big thumb
it's also a shotgun mic
so on my iphone it's pointing at me
and if someone else is talking, I can rotate it
I bought it for only 15/20€, it's the saramonic imic
it's very useful for people vlogging with their smartphones!
it's a must have!
and finally, I have this cable!
so hard to get one here in Taiwan!
it's the external mic
adapter for the GoPro Hero 5
it accepts 3.5mm jack or USB-C mic!
the GoPro Hero 5 can't deal with external
microphone without this adapter
I don't know why aha
it costs around 50€
quite expensive!
a must have for the gopro vlogers!
I did it for months, so I needed it
so now let's talk storage!
I got two micro sd cards
it costs around 100€
and this one also, it's a 1TB
I have it in my bag everyday, it "waterproof", dustproof and shockproof
great quality!
why do I have so much storage? simply because everyday I end up with
5 to 15 GB of files
and I also have a dropbox with 1032GB but it's full
everyday 15GB, for one year ...
+ the projects + the final video
it's a real issue I need to solve!
HOW MANAGE MY VIDEOS
what do to with them, how to store them etc
1- I keep only the videos where we talk
2- I keep only the landscapes ?
I don't know yet
or I keep only the final video (the one I upload on youtube)
I 'll have to find something to fix this problem!
if you have ideas, please comment!
because I'm kind of lost on this subject aha
I'm so scared to delete something
even a screenshot on my iphone
I'm always thinking "one day I'll need this"
but it's expensive to think this way, because 100€ every month
so knowing that I earn 0€ a month from Youtube,
it's not really profitable aha, I also
have some usb keys 32GB each
I use them when I want to transfer files real quick
or to give a video to someone. anyway
so now let's talk carriage and cleaning!
for the cleaning I've only one cleaning lens pen
with one side to clean from dust
and the other side cleans the lens from real mark from water / fingers etc
it costs 90$ here, so less than 3€
and I'm using it since 3 months
now
so it's very great for the price
and I also have a screwdriver
I don't know the price since it's a gift from a purchase
it allows me to tighten every screw on my gear
even Manon's glasses aha
so it's very useful, really tiny
and it's a pen shape so no problem at the airport security
so now let's talk bag!!!! How to carry all the gear
I have the best bag ever
it's the thule covert dslr backpack
and this is the perfect bag
thanks Manon for this wonderful gift!
what's convenient with this bag
it's the back pocket for the laptop
and it's padded everywhere
so no back pain
and the shape stays the same
either it's full or empty, so nothing can damage anything
it's like a furniture with drawers aha
you can't put more than the space it has (not flexible at all)
and if it's empty, it's taking the same space as when it's full
the second advantage is that you can remove a little camera bag
I was swared for a minute aha
here it's the camera pocket
so I put here all the camera and hard drive etc
and if you want to take only this part of the bag
you can
so you can take only this part for a walk if you want!!
it's waterproof
and inside there's some stuff to keep your stuff organised
so I can put inside a camera, a tripod,
a lens and a microphone + the hard drives
so I'm always prepared aha
for me this bag is perfect
and I think it's very important to have a great camera backpack
because this is what keeps your gear in good state!
all my gear is "like new", except the gopro, but it's an action cam, nothing to do with the bag
I care a lot about my gear!
so now let's talk accessories!
in addition to the tripod I'm using right now for this video,
I have 3 kind of tripod
this one is a gorillapod
very usefull to attach your camera to trees etc for example!
this is usefull but your camera must be lightweight I think
and it's annoying to always have to put it back straight
then, a basic selfie stick!
this is what I use with the gopro
when I vlog with the gopro and even for sports video
i bought it in Taiwan, don't know the brand
It costs around 6€
and this one
is for the big lumix G7
I chose this one because I know it's not going to broke and then broke my big camera !
there is a ball head so it's very convenient!
you can adjust your shot real quick
and finally, this allows me to use it as a tripod!
this one is my favorite
but it's heavy!
it's about 2 third of the camera weight!
so at the end of the day, you're fit!! aha
now let's talk mobile accessories!
I talked about the GoPro, and the Lumix G7
but not about the iPhone! so with my iPhone I vlog often!
even more now that I have the iPhone 7+
this one is the 6s+
the 7 is great for image stabilization
it's so convenient to just use your phone rather than taking a big camera sometimes!
so the accessories!
this little thing is always is my wallet!
it's a phone stand
it allows me to take timelapses real quick
or talk to it
it's really convenient, and I bought it for 0.5€ aha
this thing allows me
to plug my iPhone
to every accessories for my mirrorless camera
to use the big tripod for example!
and finally, the waterproof housing!
it's convenient!
and you can have great video with it when you're paddling for example
and you can put it in your pocket, no need of all the other accessories
so tiny
about the gopro accessories!
I got the clip
to attach it to my bag
you can also handle the gopro with the clip accessory, really convenient!
it's really tight!
I also have a suction thing to attach the gopro to any window!
in your car or to have great light when you're talking to it
I put it on a window
and I talk to the camera, no handshake, and great light
it's great quality, the gopro risks nothing aha it won't fall
i bought it for 2€
Now I'm going to show you the vlogging case for the gopro!
the basic one!
useless for vlogging
I only use it for sport video etc
so when I want to vlog with the gopro, I use this case
it's really convenient
because you can attach a microphone on the top!
it's a hot shoe mount, same as on any dslr!
so I show you
so now you have a gopro
with a microphone attached to it!
this is a uv filer
and on the side it's open, to be able to plug
the microphone adapter
this is how it looks when you vlog with the gopro!
I bought this case on ebay for 20/30€
A few accessories left !
this one is useful to stay organised with all the
tiny pieces than you have when you own a gopro!
there is the gopro, there the memory cards
etc
this is the grip I use when I'm kitesurfing!
because it floats
and the color is good to see it in the water
this one is useful when you want to film in POV mode and have your hands free!
for example when you walk, bycicle, etc
this one is the most famous!!! the head strap aha
like a speleologue!
so now let's talk battery!
i'm so concerned about not having any battery left when I'm outside recording a video!
so for the gopro I have
3 batteries
and one charger (double battery charger)
because it's too time consuming to charge
them one by one inside the gopro!
same thing for the lumix g7!
one charger!
so usually I use one battery per day and I have one more just in case!
and if I'm going on an adventure for a few days, I take everything
and I save a little bit
by filming landscapes with my iPhone
to be sure to have battery left with my big camera for the evening etc (low light)
so batteries are very important!
especially knowing that it's cheap! and it saves a lot of time / life :p
so I always carry one in my bag!
so if I forget to put one in my camera, I'm not done :p
story time! We were in Thailand, reaching Koh Phi Phi islands
there were two french people with us in the baot
and when we arrived at the island
I was already filming
and then we hear "DAMN IT"
the french guy forgot his battery, so no memories of Koh Phi Phi islands!
so since this event, I have 09537 batteries on me aha
I hope I didn't forget too many things!
I really enjoyed doing this video
I hope you enjoyed this episode!
