The PROBLEM with Budget Camera Gear...
Buy the MOVO X1 Mini - amzn.to/3XXyTdJ
Budget friendly gear is amazing when you find that one in a million thing that shoots way above its price point in value. The problem is that most of the cheap gear out there cuts corners in one way or another. That's why I haven't made a cheap gear worth buying video in a while. Let's talk about it in the comment!

Me and a few other guys went to Africa. I was excited to make a video about my experience, but before I could I saw Mr. Beasts video, "I Built 100 Wells in Africa."

Did you really go the whole video without saying the name of the app
This is a cut from a longer video. The app is called WeeylitePro though. 🫡
Damn dude... It's an 8 minute video and you wasted 1 minute battling with a Keurig.
And you used the same sound bite twice....
Yo! Keurigs are my arch nemesis! 😂
Wats the update? Cuz Its not closed. all them celebs got involvedvand nothing happened
Check out the end of the documentary. It’s available on A&E and other streaming platforms.
Great Review
Thanks so much!
@@ajwilliamsmedia thank you bro dope reviews
This was super helpful, thank you! Subscribed!
Appreciate you!
fixed with the second solution thx
I'm a long time Canon shooter and I own a C70 and I like it but I'm not as enthusiastic as you. It's good, but has some really annoying quirks. I do agree for a "entry" camera it's been good for a run-and-gun shooter like me to cut my teeth on. Just took the leap to 4K.
I hear you! I’m eyeing that R5 ii. It looks real good right now.
@@ajwilliamsmedia I hate being a "Debbie downer" but I've been underwhelmed with the specs on the R5 2- just not enough over the original. The R6 2 was a substantial improvement. Of course I come from a video perspective. The Panasonic 5S2 is amazing for the money and has one of my requirements in a 4K camera (for video) - a cooling fan!
Merhaba cihazdan memnun musunuz ve sorun düzeldi mi ?
Merhaba! Henüz profesyonel projelerde kullanmadım çünkü sadece çok özel durumlarda işe yarıyor. Ona güvenmiyorum, bu yüzden kullanılmasını tavsiye etmiyorum. Sorun çözülmedi. (I used chatGPT to translate. Blame that if there are any mistakes. 😂)
@@ajwilliamsmedia Thank you for your sincere response. May God protect you. 👍
Thank you so much your a life saver. This was so frustrating watching so many videos that weren't working then the first step of yours fixed it!!!
Love to hear it!
Just bought the 24--105 f/2.8, my dealer had 11 in stock, sounded pretty happy to sell one. Anyway, I love it. I usually use Panny GH series for video, and dabbled with my R5 and R6 II, but I have the 28-70 and 85mm f/1.2 and those lenses are pretty heavy so to mount on a tripod just seems to put a lot of stress on the mount. I'm sure its technically not a problem but I love how the 24-105 has the collar and foot so can mount the lens to the tripod for interviews. Plus the other benefits of image stabilization, large aperture, etc.
Totally! I didn’t get a chance to use it on a tripod or use the collar. I love the lens and I hope you get a lot of good use out of it!
@@ajwilliamsmedia used yesterday for women’s volleyball portraits and results look amazing.
@whiterock1865 That’s awesome! You don’t happen to be in Paris right now, are you?
@@ajwilliamsmedia haha, no sir! High school athletes here in the states.
Nice

Hello great content stumbled on your channel when looking at mics, question about Glass - I use a cannon EOS 60D, thinking of making videos in 1080p for it, close range, only need 6 foot wide, talking half body video, could you please make a recommendation or possibly a video explaining a little more about what lenses for what purpose, thanks again keep up the great work!! I subbed you.!!
That’s a great video idea! It’s good because the lens you should use depends on what you want the video to feel like. The closer you are to the camera, the more intimate the viewer will feel. At 50mm you feel like we’re having a conversation in a public place. At 35mm you can stand closer to the camera and it feels more like a private conversation and at 24mm it’s even more intimate. But you also have to keep in mind the limitations of the space you’re filming in.
@@ajwilliamsmedia wow thank you for that im going to have to look for videos that show that till i find one that works best, thanks you so much for taking the time to explain.
Hey! Good video, but, how about the purple circle in the canon adapter when you are filming back lights silhouette? Thanks!
Hey thanks! That’s the light leak that I was talking about. Both the Viltrox and the Canon versions have leak so it’s kind of a subjective decision.
@@ajwilliamsmedia ah ok I got it, I did a misunderstanding I think, because I saw a video from Josh channel and he show big purple in the center of the frame when shoot in back light situations! Thanks AJ your channel is very helpful bro! Keeping going!
I can't thank you enough! I wasn't getting sound on the playback and your mention about having to remove the receiver took care of it! I spent almost 45 minutes researching until I found this! THANK YOU!!!!
I’m glad my headache helped you solve yours! 🤣 Happy to help. 🙏🏽

My pleasure! The full review is still to come, but I totally approve. 🙌🏾
thats actually so good. like i actually thought u were using the other mic to record the sound. could u put a link if possible

Thanks for the solution you saved my project!
That’s what’s up! 💪🏽
As Fro Knows Photo says - GLASS ! GLASS!! GLASS!!! My go to lens right now is my Canon EF 100 f2.8 L Macro adapted on my R7.
Very solid choice! How are you liking the R7?
I remember the hype on that tacstar sgc-600. Still got mine, rarely use it.
I gave my SGC-600 away. It’s good but, like you, I rarely used it.
Maybe you could test a follow focus like the SmallRig one. Is it even worth using for the price? Sub $100 seems to be the sweet spot to call something “budget friendly” for me.”
I’ve actually had the small rig follow focus for a while. Good call!
How about you go interview people that are victims of the prisoners crimes. They might have a different perspective
What's your go to lens right now?
It's a nice lens, but it's too corrected , to the point where you don't even get the 24mm field of view from it. The best RF lenses you can buy rn are the designs canon initially announced when RF out became a thing. They are over correcting their newer lenses too much to the point where they have deal breaker flaws.
It’s a common misconception that this particular lens doesn’t give a true 24mm field of view. It does, but the focus point is around mid-lens. This gives the illusion that it’s more like a 25 or 26mm lens when comparing to another 24mm, in reality you just need to back the camera up about 4 inches. This was tested pretty well on Sound It Out Films channel. Check out the video here if you’re interested: ruclips.net/video/aQmoTJCZOF8/видео.htmlsi=m6OTSqe--wXCc_u5
does it work with canon rf 2x entender?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t, but I don’t have a 2x extender to test. That would be a great experiment though.
This and the Tamron 35-150 is reshaping everyone's kit......
There are rumors of a Sigma 18-35 full frame too!
nice lens but f4 for this event will be enough
The f4 would have gotten the job done, but I wanted the extra reach (not speed boosted) and subject separation. The new image stabilization on this came in clutch as well. Lots of moving around.
For anyone in the apsc rf realm , buy the 24-105 f4 and boost it for a " cheap " 16-70 f2.8 On the other hand get the 24-70 2.8 and boost it to get a 16-45 f2
I’m actually thinking about getting the Ef 24-70 for that exact reason. But there are so many features that 2.8 version has that f4 version doesn’t. If your only concern is the look, you’re mostly right (I think the 2.8 version wins there too).
@@ajwilliamsmedia yeah fair play , but i was talking about the ef f4 for around 300$, the rf 2.8 is like 3k usd
@JJARCHIE Gotcha! Yeah. There is definitely a diminishing return on value there. It’s crazy that you can get 98% of what a $3,000 lens can do for only $300.
@@ajwilliamsmedia i would say 80% for 10% of its value , the 2.8 is crazy sharp and has a lot of features most dont even know how to use for. Would be funny if tamron snuck in a 35-150 2-2.8 tho . .
@JJARCHIE That would be great! Let the lens wars begin. 😂
Dream lens for sure. Every time I use my 24-105 EF it blows me away that they could make it this much better.
I was very impressed with it. Now I just need a new production so I can justify purchasing one. 😅
Canon C70's!!! Yes. I have the 24-105 on one of my C70's and I am waiting on the Canon C400. It's more 35-150 now with S35. The images here are sweet. Very Canon looking.
Dude! The C400 with the 24-105 f2.8 would look so good. Can’t wait to see the images with that pair.
do you feel like this lens would be better than bringing some pancake primes I'm travelling this week and I was thinking of going pancake primes and 55-250mm but this video has got me re-thinking and going 18-135mm but the only thing is I have a crop sensor so it would be helpful if it was f2.8 :D
It really depends on what you’re filming and the kind of depth field you need your image. The primes will definitely give you better bokeh, But you’ll have better reach with the 18 to 135. I always base those kinds of decisions off of what I want to look like.
@@ajwilliamsmedia I agree, but my fear is that if I want to have a longer reach ill be sad if I left the tele on the longer end, but then once I get the shot I have to lug around a Pringles can size of a lens because that shot will only be for specific cases, so ill test it out this weekend and hopefully it works out!
ya I want 135 but this is good
this thing is beautiful
Agreed! I’ll be buying as soon as it’s in the budget.
I still love my ef lenses
I would go see my dad in parchmen when I was a kid....we would drive to the camper back then,put our keys in a bucket the tower guards would lower on a rope...30 years later I would find myself living in that same compound...6 years in MDOC custody missing my family....now I'm home and my pops is dying of liver cancer..2nd longest serving inmate in Mississippi!! Mississippi prisons are inhumane, not constitutional, and you are not guaranteed to walk out those doors
There’s a reason I am staying in my EF lane with the Pyxis coming 😂
I get it, for sure! I’m not getting rid of my EF glass either. But it’s hard to beat the quality and perks of the RF system.
talk about ASMR?!

Bro thats not your mom! thats your sister.

I love my Sony cameras (and Peter McKinnon bag)- can't go wrong with the a7iv ;)
I, honestly, need one of those. I do some low-light stuff from time to time and I get jealous of my Sony user friends.
Awesome vid bro!
Thanks so much! Do you have something you’d add to the list?
Never would have thought of citronella soap. Nice tip. Also, the Canon R10 is a great replacement to the 80d. Feels like a sleeper right now.
I’ve thought a lot about that camera. 🙏🏽👀
@@ajwilliamsmedia I’m thinking of trading my 6D MKII for the R10. It’s way smaller and lighter for travel or every day use. It’s great to see you’re still using the 80d. Still a valid camera even today.
@PhillyNichols 💯 it’s becoming culturally irrelevant, but it’s still a great camera and holds up surprisingly well in our modern photo/video era.
Much better title. 💞
Appreciate you 🙏🏽
You need a new Nikon Z8 dude (you know I had to say Nikon)...😎📷
I honestly would love that! Back in the day (before DSLRs could do video) I was a Nikon shooter.
@@ajwilliamsmedia time to come home.
@JasonLorette Haha!
@JasonLorette We’ll see. 👌🏽
@@ajwilliamsmedia Had to come back and say...Nikon Z6III launches on Monday (June 17), might be a good way to dip your toes back into Nikon. :P
thank you
cool video
Thanks so much!
Mine picks up breathing a lot. Anyway to fix?
Stop breathing so much? 😂😅 Serious answer: it’s most likely a placement issue. Try mounting it somewhere further from your mouth or out of the path of the breath.
Thank you bro I appreciate you
I don’t use a teleprompter but I’m wondering does the Fotga filter reflection show up on window glass? Also can you stack a CPL on it to reduce the reflection?
