So the mission for today, is to create a nice cinematic
image, with a very small camera.
It's not the size of the camera that matters,
it's how you use it.
Or something like that.
'Cause yeah you know if you want a
cinematic image just sell your car and
your soul and just buy one of these and easy.
But I kept thinking like how do I make an image look even
more cinematic, but at a smaller size and even cheaper.
I did some thinking and this is what I came up with.
It's censored right now,
not because it's an inappropriate object
but because I don't want you guys to know
what it is yet, I kind of want to show you guys
some footage out of this set up here.
In this mystery setup,
fraction of the cost of the Canon EOS R.
So you guys get to play the guessing game and try to
figure out what setup I'm using,
but let's take it outside and get some footage.
This thing is gonna make it so I
can get into some deep (bleep)
and still get myself out, ha ha.
(dramatic music)
(engine revs)
(dramatic music)
So there you go what'd you guys think of the footage so far?
Not bad right?
It actually looks kind of professional.
I'll take it.
So can the little mystery camera take cinematic footage?
Yes, check.
How about some of the convenient features for vloggers
and YouTubers?
First you need to get one of these, a switch pot.
I can't recommend this thing enough.
And then a little ball head up here
so you can actually angle the camera in different directions
or drop this little sensor bar on top of it
and a little hint I used two different lenses
for that sequence we shot.
Most important part is this microphone up here which is
actually kind of bigger than the camera itself
But you gotta have it the sound
quality out of this so much better.
Anyways, I got to pick up something from Steve's house
so let's go.
(leaf blower roars)
- It works!
- Oh ho, it works!
We're borrowing this from Steve to take a
thumbnail if you're a subscriber you
probably have already seen it.
But yeah, hopefully it works out.
It's 220 miles per hour can we blow it in Steve's face?
Let's do it.
(leaf blower roars)
I think I've got some chunky cheeks so I think
it should be nice blah la la.
- If this is anything like when we punched him
with the boxing gloves and his face shook,
this should be epic.
(leaf blower roars)
Ah, you can't breathe.
Let's see what this looks like at 120 frames per second.
All right, so here's the thumbnail I have in mind.
we're talking about laptops I can edit 8K.
So you got a red camera here
and we got our laptop here and then we got blow dryer.
- Hell yeah.
(leaf blower roars)
- All right, so we got some good shots
but they're just not really registering
that much that it's wind it just kind of
looks like I'm making a goofy face.
So we looked at that classic photo of that guy
sitting on a couch and what really sells
it is his posture and his tie,
so I got this shirt on now, we got a tie on
and we're gonna go for a take two.
(leaf blower roars)
Let's start putting this underneath
and just go straight up.
(leaf blower roars)
Oh yeah, that's working huh?
All right.
- [Man] That's working huh?
I think that one's it. I think that's the way to do it.
- All right, so let's wrap this day up by going out
and eating some wings.
Our buddy Javi told us that there's a spot here
that has super spicy wings so we're gonna see
if we can handle it.
Sam you feel confident about this?
- [Sam] (laughs) Did you forget who you're talking to?
- Yeah, earlier we didn't have a microphone
on this rig but just to make this camera
look even smaller we're just gonna
completely strip it down no microphone
because the issue with bringing a big
old camera into a restaurant is they're
gonna see and immediately kick you out
so something this nice and compact
should let us fly under that radar.
So that evening we made a couple of mistakes.
One ordering the hottest chicken on the menu
which we ended up deeply regretting the next morning,
but of course we still stuck through it
because we're hardcore like that.
The second mistake I made was that I was
shooting at a 150th of a shutter speed
which is typically where I want to be
for that frame rate.
The lighting there was flickering so you can kind of see it.
They look like horizontal dark bars
that kind of roll from the top to the bottom.
You can't really see it with your eyes
but on camera obviously it shows up.
Easy fix for that at least here in America
is to switch the shutter to one sixtieth of
a second depending on the standards of
your country's electrical current that
could be different but generally when I
see flicker like that I can set it to
one sixtieth of a second and it will
reduce it if not completely cut it out.
And my final big mistake was taking off
that external microphone.
I should have just left it on because the audio came
out like crap.
Are you a spicy food guy?
- All good, if I'm gonna do it, I got it.
- [Man] I think heard Abraham say--
- So external microphone's a must,
especially in a crowded place like that,
but overall the low-light performance is excellent right?
We're walking around at night
and everything looks very clear and sharp,
still not a crazy amount of grain.
So overall I'd say this is a very capable camera.
One final test before I tell you guys
which camera this is is the auto focus, which is important,
because notice how blurry that background is, right?
So you need some pretty good auto focus to stay up with me
ha and I'm sharp.
See that's actually pretty good
and it does also have a flip screen
so I can see myself so it does check off a
lot of the boxes that vloggers want.
Peter are you ready for the answer?
Okay, let's go.
And the answer is Canon M6 Mark II.
Now this might not come as a surprise to many of you
because I just made a video about it
and how it's surprisingly capable for its
price point and size.
But I'm actually more excited about the lens that's on here.
These are brand new lenses from Sigma
and they've been dominating lately.
Like these Sigma art lenses that I bought, loving these.
I also bought the Sigma 30 millimeter for my Sony A6400
and finally they're rolling out lenses
for the Canon EF-M line which is greatly needed
because this EF-M line has needed some solid lenses
and here they are.
Now this is an APS-C size sensor,
so we are talking about a crop of about 1.6 X
but the beauty of having smaller sensors
is that you can make the lens a little bit more capable
at a more compact size.
So this is a 16 millimeter F/1.4 and since this does have a
crop sensor it's closer to a 24 millimeter F/1.4
but if you look at a full-frame version of this lens
it's way bigger and way more expensive.
And that's across the board too,
here's the other lens I was using.
This is a 56 millimeter F/1.4 so this converts into a nice
slightly telephoto or a great portrait lens.
So even if you have a smaller sensor like an APS-C
that's in this camera you can actually kind of use it
to your advantage if you utilize the
lenses that are out there and these are
a perfect example.
This isn't sponsored by Sigma by the way,
I think they just did a killer job making lenses
that are very capable specifically for smaller
size sensors so I love that.
I can't really do the math in my head right now
but this camera body and then this lens
and then this tighter lens that's how
much the total is opposed to something
like this EOS R which we do get that
full frame but here's how much it is for
the body and this lens actually on here
right now is I think more than the
camera body itself so this right here a
total right oh so expensive.
So if you have that kind of budget yeah go for it,
I mean I love this camera but just because
you can afford the body on this remember
that there's a lot more to come when it
comes to lenses so considering that
there's these high-quality Sigma lenses
for this EF-M mount makes this Canon camera a
lot more attractive. I mean you guys saw the footage,
so you can decide for yourself but I'm impressed.
If you see my recent review about this camera you know
that it actually doesn't shoot 24 frames per second yet.
It is supposed to be coming in a firmware
update in 2020 so hopefully we see that
rolling out in the next few months so
that would be awesome but currently this
video is made in 25 frames per second.
I can switch this camera into PAL mode
and get 25 frames per second which looks
very, very similar to 24,
it's just kind of annoying because it's like a little
technical limitation it's just kind of a
inconvenience when I shoot everything in
24 and this camera shoots 25,
but again this is a temporary issue that Canon
promises to fix and the other big issue
is when you put a microphone up here
you can't really see yourself with the
monitor because it is a flip up screen
instead of a flip out screen.
But a company called SmallRig Digits
announced that they are releasing a
little bracket which will make the
hot shoe located over here, it will,
technically a cold shoe if it doesn't
have electronic components and it's
called a cold shoe but you know we're
just using it to hold this microphone
here in place so it will hold the
microphone like that so you can still
use your flip screen and this is
generally what your vlog setup would look like.
Anyways let's wrap this up by reading a few comments
from my last video.
Let's go.
Top comment was from Connor.
Google left the chat.
So for those of you who haven't seen it my overall
conclusion was that the video camera is
very just like Dan says I would have to
say meh on the quality it's kind of one
of the awkward situations to get into is
like I really appreciate that Google is
willing to send me a phone for free,
but as a filmmaker if I don't like the video
quality out of the phone I just I kind
of have to say it but when I started
this YouTube channel I told myself no
matter what happens I'm going to keep
honesty as priority number one.
That is gonna be more important than the number
of views, the number of subscribers, the money,
all that so whenever companies
are like hey we'll give you money to say
good things about our product I always
have to push back a little bit and say
ooh, my opinions aren't for sale
just out of curiosity how much money are we talking about?
Nick says didn't you say last time you were taking the Jeep
to a professional next time. Yeah that's one of those things
that like I'm not a professional mechanic,
but there's something just satisfying
about taking a wrench and just doing this motion,
it's very validating like I feel really tough
doing it I kind of like it.
Oh and I almost forgot this is a sponsored video
so give away GoPro Hero7 black coming
out to one of you guys.
All you got to do is drop a comment down below
and yes this is a hand-me-down this is the Hero7
black so not the brand new shiny eight
but I'm not even sure if I'm gonna get the eight.
Should I get it?
Is it much? I have to do a little bit of research on that.
But yeah, final words from our sponsor.
