Glad it was helpful! Yes, it fits all wireless mics from the RODE line-up and also from other brands if it has similar form factor. The clipping mechanism is important to be the same. All the best!

✈️ Glad it was useful!

The grip is non-genuine, but does the job well. The firmware is taking the commands like for a wired trigger. A short 3.5 mm cable is provided to connect the grip to the camera and send the controls. All the best! 🤝

It should last around 50 minutes max. I used it mostly in 4K 24fps. With the grip (2 batteries) I get around 1h and 15 min. of video.

Hello! Here is the grip that I use and present in the video: patona.de/en/patona-premium-handgrip-for-canon-eos-rp-eos-r8-5745 Not sure if it is available in other countries under the same brand/name, but this is what I use in Europe. All the best!

Glad the video was useful! I’ve sold my RP and now using just the R8 for product and lifestyle photography and promo or social media videos. Very good performance overall, no problems with the heating. I shoot mostly 4K 24fps and it handles it very well. Image quality is really great. The only “downside” when it comes to video is the rolling shutter effect. Whenever there is sudden or bit more movement the rolling shutter effect can be noticed. Otherwise, it is a great value for money packed camera. All the best!

@@Tehnologicus Thank you 🙂

Check the first curtain fire vs electronic shutter only setti.

Yes. It is the same model: LP-E17.

battery grip I meant @@alextheifrim

Yes. Any baterry grip made for the RP will fit also the R8 😁

Awesome. Thank you. 😊

I saw other people noticing this problem. I for one did not encounter it.

Thanks for the tip! Didn’t knew that there is a replica with that big capacity 😁. All the best!

@@alextheifrim 😁😃👍👍

Yes, wind is very different. Noise cancelling is about “removing” different frequencies around the spectrum.

There is a general sound profile issue from my point of view. Even with the NC turned off, it still has a flat and muddy tone. I really think that it is either a hardware or a software problem. I'm sticking with my RODEs for the moment and plan to test out also some Hollylands.

I saw also other users facing issues with the external lav port. Really disappointing. I plan to test out the Hollyland Lark Max soon. Really looking forward to it! Thanks for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed the video! All the best!

I really hope DJI can fix the audio quality issues. When I use an external lav the DJI Mic 2 sounds great but I really want the internal mic quality to be improved significantly.

I also hope that they will manage to improve it somehow. Don't know how much is really hardware or software related. We'll see.

It always depends on what and how you aim to use it. But for sure anyone should have at least a spare battery, whatever camera is used 😁.

This is kind of just a general observation, but "from my experience" could mean anything. It could mean that you took one picture, then changed batteries, and took one more picture. Nobody knows what your experience was, unless you tell us what it was. If you only shoot stills, that's way different from shooting 4k60 video.

It means im shooting stills for about 4 hours straight and then when the battery is dead i grab my second one 👌​@myblacklab7

@@omgmitzidis2 Gotcha. So you're only talking about shooting stills. Hybrid cameras make things more confusing - I'm interested in the R8 only because it can shoot 4k60 video. I'm guessing the battery might last 40 minutes shooting 4k60 video, so if I want to shoot for 8 hours, I'll need around 8 batteries (taking into account cool-down time for overheating).

@@myblacklab7 maybe a battery grip is better for that

R8 is a great choice if you plan changing the “ecosystem” from Sony to Canon fullframe. Any photographer or videographer should have at least one extra battery, no matter its size. It is more efficient, gives you also a backup. There are many pros to it and it is a needed investment. That is my opinion 😁

Glad it was useful! Here is an example of AC adapter: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1636711-REG/indipro_tools_aclpe17_ac_power_supply_to.html

Glad it was useful! 🙏 The R8 is a very capable, well packed camera that for sure you will enjoy it. All the best!

In the end it really depends on how you are using the camera. It is up to you what is the most suitable solution in the end. Getting extra batteries is always necesarry. What we can all agree is that the 1.000 mah battery is first of all a technical/commercial differentiator between models. Second of all, considering that it packs in a lot of power hungry tech, with a more advanced processor, AI focus, connectivity, 4k C-Log filming capabilities, 1.000 mah is not enough from my point of view. If you decide to swap batteries, use a grip, or rig a power bank, it is really up to you in the end to decide what is best. Thanks!

This would be an example similar product: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1636711-REG/indipro_tools_aclpe17_ac_power_supply_to.html

@@alextheifrim much appreciated. I think I’m going to order just to have.

Whenever I shoot static videos indoors I prefer to use the AC as I don’t have to worry about the battery. Just keeping an eye on the memory and heating 😁. Wish you all the best!

Haha! Thats great if you have the budget and other reasons that make sense for you :). For me, and probably for many others, the R8 is a great in between camera that is very capable for both photography and video. Wish you all the best!

I guess one can solve a lot of problems by spending more money. You can solve the issues with the R6 Mark II by just buying an R3, and you can overcome the shortcomings of the R3 by just buying a Sony Venice. You can skip the need to use a camera at all by just hiring a production crew to do it for you.

Haha! Maybe we are related. Who knows 😅.

If you shoot 4K, 50 fps, yes, it runs out faster as expected. And that was before switching airplane mode on. Now it has a better performance as presented in the video.

R5 can shoot 50min 4k 60fps with big battery. not that much difference.

Thanks for sharing! I presume the power bank should be one with PD (Power Delivery) capabilities, right?

@@alextheifrim hm. all my powerbanks support PD, so I suppose that yes, it should be PD capable. :)

I also bought dummy battery for USB-C but returned it back. The output power of the original LP-E17 battery is 7.4 volts, and the HangTon adapter is 9.2 volts. Measure the voltage so as not to burn the camera with such products.

​@@alextheifrim l'm use powerbank with PD. Without PD camera didn't work, I'm checked it.

A second battery and an external charger (usb adaptable for powerbanks). Maybe Patona's grip with two batteries capacity... A jail with a vmount battery... Many options

Well, I wasn’t very active on this channel. But thinking about it if I should continue creating videos here regarding camera gear. Thanks!

@@alextheifrimplease do, I found this video super helpful. It’s given me ideas 😊

Yes, indeed, its a great setup that can power multiple things. It can power also your laptop if needed. Just that its a bit on the expensive side, and adds some weight with the cage. Depends on your needs and budget. Thanks for sharing!

You can get the neewer 99wh or the K&F concept in wich both are cheaper options​@@alextheifrim
