May 10th 2024 Aurora from Kansas
It’s rare to be able to capture the northern lights from Kansas. I did some Timelapses last night and was amazed at what the camera could pick up that I couldn’t see.
Timelapses are a mix of Nikon Z30 with a Viltrox 13mm 1.4 a Nikon Z5 with Tamron 15-30 2.8, and DJI Osmo Action 4K which I left out overnight to get the last, longer clip.

Special Olympics Kansas Cornhole Tournament
มุมมอง 258ปีที่แล้ว
Great Event to be at, it is always good to spend some time watching special olympic athletes compete. And who doesn't love Cornhole? Video was shot on my Nikon Z30 and Z5, the time-lapse was a DJO Osmo Action. Very happy with how the Z30 did today.
My Godox / Flashpoint set-up on Nikon Z
มุมมอง 2.9Kปีที่แล้ว
So this video ended up covering a few different topics! How does Godox / Flashpoint work with the Nikon Z series? How do I utilize the lights for weddings? And how to set up a basic 3 light portrait studio, just about anywhere!
Z5 Dynamic Range - Is one RAW file = HDR?
มุมมอง 1.7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I've been very impressed with the dynamic range from the Z5 sensor and the data contained in a RAW file. Here are some tips on how I edit in poor lighting conditions, and how I push a RAW file to look like a bracketed HDR. #Nikon #Zseries #Z5 #HDR #weddingphotographer
Z5 Focus tips - What I've learned after a year of weddings!
มุมมอง 31K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Having focus issues with your Z series Nikon? This is a *not so short* video on how I use the focus system on my Nikon Z5 and get fantastic results for both photos and video! Here is my most recent wedding video, shot primarily with a Nikon Z5. th-cam.com/video/yj8nOKGIhoM/w-d-xo.html Video shot on a Panasonic GH4 with a Sigma 30mm 1.4 lens #Nikon #mirrorless #Zseries #Z5
First look: Ulanzi i-Light vs Godox TL-30
มุมมอง 3.5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
I bought Ulanzi's new i-Light the day they announced it (not entirely on purpose) and compared it to Godox's TL-30.
I use the R2 pro on my Z5 also. I have just had connectivity issues with mine also. Messed around with it and found out you need to clean your hotshoe and trigger connections. I used alcohol on a q-tip and cleaned it all, placed my trigger back on and everything powered right up. Shouldn't have to do this but it worked. Hope this helps.
Good to know, thanks!
do you still use your z5 ?
Yup, still a great camera for me. Picked up a Z6 recently just because it was a good deal and I wanted a second full frame Z body.
@@Hunter.Peterson do you compare z5 and z6 when focusing in lowlight? And the color between camera
@@fangli haven’t used the Z6 in low light yet. Color seems to be mostly the same.
Nice video, i used my Z5 in June to shoot a wedding and performance was flawless.
do you still using z5 for wedding ?
Yup
Nice show of the z5 dynamic range. I have been trying to find your nikon z5 full review as mentioned in your focus video can you direct me to it ?
I never got around to doing a full review. I have a few videos recorded but don’t have the time to edit…
I also just picked up that same trigger for my Z6II. I'll let you know if I have the same issue. (I have the new version that just came out (Godox XPro II N) on pre-order) Also bought a couple of AD200pros, some umbrellas, S2 mounts, stands, a Godox TT350 and a reciever for my Nikon Sb600. Went all out lol. Shooting a friends band this weekend on a stage (not a live performance), just posed. Thinking of using 2 Ad200's w/ umbrellas on either side of the 4 piece band and maybe one of the speedlights behind for a hairlight. All new to me, so gonna be trial and error. Any tips for this kind of a setup? PS. Also subscribed.
I think you are on the right track! I would get some with even lighting then start moving lights around to focus on each band member or to get some more dramatic lighting too (depending on the band's style of course). Thanks for the sub!
Is that the S1 or S2 Godox mount? On the S2 you are supose to be able to mount the V1 (roundhead) speedlight by taking out the spacers at the bottom. Thats the claim anyways. lol
They are cheap mounts I got off Amazon before I got all the Godox stuff. I know one of them is Neewer brand, can't remember what the other one was but they are slightly different sizes. I'll have to check that out, if they make one the V1 fits it that would probably be worth it.
Sorry mate...you jump about so much you,'re imcomprehensible
"It struggles pretty bad here", "well, it's not locking on", etc. You seem to be having the same problems I am having with auto focus on my new Z5. It struggles pretty bad to focus. Thinking about returning mine for something quicker to focus.
I use mine for weddings in all sorts of terrible light. It works great for me when I use it like I’ve showed in the video. I don’t think it’s the best camera ever obviously, but for the price point I think it performs great.
I also have trouble with the eye detector.I shoot portraits and events and I always have trouble getting my photos sharp. I don’t have problems for urban or landscape photography .
Thank you Hunter for an awesome in detail review of the Nikon Z5 focusing issues and solutions. I am looking to purchase the Z5 for weddings and portraits with some light video work. I think the z5 offers good value at a low cost and I’m hoping I can work around the focusing issues.
Works great for me for portraits and weddings.
Hi I started photography with Z5 then I moved to D500 and D850 before migrating to Sony A7iv. The advantage of the Sony is the tracking. But since I'm taking wildlife, the truth is there is no single camera that did everything good: For Z5 its low light af is poor due to tele lens are not fast. For D500 it's the best af for perched birds but when a bird flies its keeper is only 20-40% depending on conditions. For D850, it's about the same as D500 but is lower in keepers in both perched shots and flights. Lastly the Sony is super in birds in flights and get it very fast. But the perch shots is terrible! Many times the camera doesn't find focus and just freeze in an unfocused position when its confused. So I can tell u eye af is not so good and I dun expect it too much at all.
That’s pretty interesting.
Go for canon R3.it's the best camera for capturing fast actions
Hi - what was the rectangular light you showed at the beginning
Viljim LED panel, from the same website as Ulanzi
Am I right in saying there has been a AF firmware update since this video was uploaded
The Z5 has basically the D750 sensor that I own. The D750 is a great sensor the images and HD are really nice
Has there been a AF firmware update since this video. Did it improve things
I don't think there has been an update to the AF. I'm going to do another video with some updates hopefully soon.
I would love to get your feedback on these: th-cam.com/video/Dgq80FrrLXs/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/SuM6nvU0exs/w-d-xo.html where I test AF-C vs AF-F on the same lens. I have no trouble with AF-S, but in AF-C mode, the focusing seems to shift around quite a bit. This results in really poor performance when I hold the shutter down for continous shots while tracking a focus subject (using back button AF or shutter button.. not too relevant).
Turn off (uncheck) small area wide area point. Only stay with pin point single point and auto area. Ur focus now as fast as ur need. Also eye focus doing well then u select the auto area with both af-s Or af-c
does the Z5 have such a good Dr. like D750?
Yes its the same sensor
@@markshirley01 This is not the same sensor
@@markshirley01 there is a little cut🙂 Z5 sensor
Af-c of z5 can't be compared to the focus of dslr from 10g ago, z5 is something terribly slow and bad! 3d tracking literally doesn't work or has anything to do with the fantastic performance of the same on dslr
D610 is far better than Z5. It has much more low light and high iso performence.better autofocusing performence. So it's useless to shift d610 to Z5. It' a downgrade.
You crack me up man.
@@Hunter.Peterson you are using all of these and know the difference between them. But don't recommend Z5 shit for beginners.
@@c.bwijesinghe2259 You crack me up man. At this point I'm fairly certain you are just stirring the pot for your own enjoyment.
The D610 sensor isnt as good as the D750 and the Z5 basically has the D750 sensor - your talking nonsense
@@markshirley01 z5 doesn't hav d750 sensor.nikon confirmed it. D610 very close to d750 and much more better than Z5
I always expose for highlights z5 is better optimized for pulling up shadow detail it isn't that good at pulling highlights down it blows them out really quick if your at iso 100 you can go up like 15 stops and barely have noise in the shadows that is good enough for 99 percent of lighting situations
🔥 good video hunter
Awesome video on the Nikon Z5! I have owned my Nioon Z5 for a year now! Love the camera. I use ftz adaptor with sigma f mount! Just have the kit lens
Thanks for the video trying to figure out if z5 is worth the jump in point or original z6. Looking to use it for street photography / city scape and night city shots
I'm deciding on getting another Z5 vs a Z6. I think the Z5 is a great photographer's camera. If you do dual media or much video work, maybe the Z6 is worth it.
@@Hunter.Peterson thanks getting close to buying it hopefully it goes back on sale. However I do not think Nikon is known for having many sales. I'd mainly use it for photography. I have another camera for video
How is set auto focus and area mode in nikon z5
Not sure what you are asking.
Nice video, i want to.know if this z5 is better than nikin d7500 for macro photograpiv
I haven’t shot a D7500, and haven’t done much macro work so I can’t comment on that.
No low pass filter on d7500 sensor. More details produce by d7500.
It's all about understanding the functions, limitations and strengths of your gear.
Z5 is a great camera, for still its FANTASTIC. I am loving it.
Hi I'm glad to see a complex review, I would like to buy a z5 and replace nikon d810, I would like to know if it's worth it !? At the moment I own a 3-year-old d810, I'm most interested in the iso part because I can't find any conclusive documentation anywhere regarding the high iso noise, which is better. Thanks for your time and I hope you can help me make a decision.
Biggest diff you will find is weight reduction. ISO performance is same.
I haven’t used a D810, so I can’t comment on it. I will say I feel comfortable using my Z5 up to 12,000 ISO for weddings where my D610 I wouldn’t push above 6400.
New firmware makes it noticeably better. And stay off those Facebook groups man lol there all toxic and rarely offer anything positive. Pin point still sucks tho the tracking box is the best mode why not use a 50 1.8 ? That's a ff lens
My 50 is an AF-D, so it won’t AF. I’m probably going to get the 40 F2 Z mount soon.
How's 8000 ISO? Any grain?
Iso 8000 perfectly usable as long as you get the exposure right and don't need to boost shadows much in post I can go to 25600 with a little tlc in post I can get the image clean and sharp but that's shooting raw jpegs is not recommended with this camera because the raw files are excellent

Like Nate said, 8000 is usable. Of course there is grain, but it’s manageable in RAW.
@@aureliancostache5347 from d810 to Z5 is downgrade.from high end professional camera to low grade entry level toy camera. Don't waste money. If you need an upgrade you may go for sony A7(3).
@@c.bwijesinghe2259 thanks i just both a nikon z6ii
Your problem at the reception was probably because you were at F4??? Not the cameras fault. Primes are relatively cheap.
Completely agree with you.
I use it with my old AF-S lenses and Leica manual lenses which are all pro level fast glass and the main attraction is the full frame sensor and ability to strap virtually every lens known to man on it and get great results. My autofocus body is my A7iii with Sony Zeiss glass and the Z5 is a Leica body for me at a fraction of the cost of an M body. Leica glass with Nikon colors is a unique and satisfying combination, I don't care about video on a entry level camera and leave that to my A7iii when needed. People are expecting $1000 dollar cameras to be as robust and feature rich as $5000 pro cameras on TH-cam which is ridiculous lol.
nice video. everyone says eye af is trash but im using the z7ii on my channel and have no problems haha. Maybe it comes down to the user!
It seems pretty polar, either people love it or hate it. I'm looking forward to getting some portrait work in and see how it works.
Which do you recommend
I still haven't had much opportunity to use them. I think the Ulanzi has better battery life and is brighter for the relative size. I think 3 of those would be more useful and a better value than a single TL-30.
I ordered two of these-will arrive soon. I think they are underpowered for most uses, but I’m interested in using these as very small, low-power accent lights/props (for adding slight color to product photography).
Good video my man
Very detailed. And yeah, congratulations ! you're the first one to do a review on ulanzi i-light
which one is the best?
I probably haven't used them enough for that answer yet. So far I like the Ulanzi lights best. I'll do an update when I get some more time on them.
