You all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my login password. I would love any help you can offer me
@@Mattshuckphoto You don't know "anyone" who earns a living with sports photography. It's definitely out there and the ones that do earn a living with it worked their asses off to get there.
I've got that same ThinkTank bag and love it! one of the reasons I bought it was that it blends in with similar rolling bags and doesn't scream camera bag.
Knee pads. I'm glad you mentioned them because they can really save your knees when you're out photographing all day sporting events like the US open or any other tournament style sporting event.
The "on a budget" set I started out with - and still today take on assignments when flying - is the EOS 7D II w/ the brilliant EF 300 f4.0 However the 1D-X II w/ EF 400 f2.8 is a basic combo you hardly get around.
I noticed that he says he carries at least two camera bodies sometimes three but he only pulled one out of the actual bag. The second came from somewhere under or behind the table and the third from a separate bag.
If you compare the version iii of the 600mm with the version ii I understand it’s lighter. But is it also substantially sharper? Or what other added value comes with it? I have the Version ii and was thinking to sell the version ii for getting a version iii. Thanks for any comment.
First and foremost I want to say thank you. All the gear, tech and feedback for others has helped myself as well as many others. I primarily shoot Motocross but also cover high school sports on occasion. I keep watching your gear and wonder how I could use what you have.I have 1 body, and dream of a 1DX as a second. Let alone a 1DX mkII as a primary some day. It will happen, just keep pushing. But, had you been put on assignment, what would you take to a Motocross track as primary gear? How would you shoot it? Thank you again for all the help!
Hi Peter! Great video and a great gear you have! I have a question, I noticed one thing. You are not using any filters for your small lenese (cpl), why? Only beacuse cpl filter is "eating" the light?
Pretty sure if you look back, you'll see a filter on his 24-70 unit. I couldn't see the f/4 70-200. The large glass doesn't take front filters as just an FYI.
ive only ever gotten paid (well) for some hockey ive shot over the years so my sports photography "business" is less revenue heavy than yours Pete, but i run a 5D3, 5D4, 24-70 f2.8 mkII, 70-200 f2.8 mkII IS (i broke my mkI and there were very few used mkIs available) and a 300 f2.8 mkI IS on a SLIK monpod. i have a very similar Canon pad on mine as well. I also carry a nice sharp 1.4x converter but also a 600ex-rt and controller as well. post game festivities. i cant afford the 400 and definitely NOT a 600 but im only shooting HS sports primarily so i think im good to go...
Hello I'm looking to buy a new nikon camera for sports photography...I am deciding between the nikon d500, and Z6. Which one do you believe is the better choice? thank you!
With Basketball it really seems like the F4 isn’t going to be as clear as the 2.8. Did you pick the f4 because of the weight? I’m trying to decide what 28-70 to buy. I shoot games with the 70-200 f2.8
Remember guys. He's a professional. His employers will pay him so that he can afford the best equipment to deliver them the top line results they expect.
Awesome, thanks. Getting into sports photographer. I have been using a 50 and an 85mm shooting at f2 in a basketball games. Did not think an f4 would be good for sports indoors.
@@scallen3841 Actually yes, first not everybody gets to shoot in great lighting for pro sports. Second, is the 7.5oz weight difference between the f2.8 and f4 really going to make a difference with your stamina, doubtful. If there was ever an all-out promotional plug for Canon's best and latest gear, this is it.
I don’t know the USA tax system at all, but where I live a business would claim back the sales tax and register all that equipment as business assets and insure and depreciate it accordingly. Also there may be sponsorships from Canon...
Funny how none of you commentors took into account that this is work equipment. Oh and I cracked up when he took out the 600mm and said it's "light" lol
What if I show up Nikon D500 and a Tamron 70-200 ... and a Nikkor 70-300 (in case it is daylight) ... and maybe the 17-55. In terms of %, how much I can achieve in comparison to your gear.
Thanks for showing what's in your bag. I'm doing a lot of sport photography too. I 'm now using th 5d Mark II, because it is a good all-round camera and I do also other type of phtotography. But now I want to ugrate to a more specific sports camera, due to more fps and better focus. I know the 1XD Mark II is one of the best sports camera, but it is a bit to expensive for me. So which one do you recommend for a camera around 1000-2000 Euro? I self thougt to buy the 7d Mark II but now Canon coms with the 90D, do you think this one will be the upgrate for the 7d mark II? And how does both cameras works in low light?
Every job requires the right tools. Sony is changing the game, absolutely. But it isn't that long that Sony has this combo available. And CPS offers some outstanding deals to pro sports photographers. I change my camera bodies every other year and maybe one day it's time to go mirrorless. We'll see.
I like how he casually says "I usually have three 1dx mark 2's "
That deserves a firm smack
@Mikko Robles does he own them or does nikon provide it to him
@@mikes1984 I'd say Getty provides each staff photographer with a kit suited to the assignment.
Why is this guy always breathing heavy?
You all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my login password. I would love any help you can offer me
i used to think the 70-200 was big
But in this video. It looks pretty darn small. Omg.
Insane gear, a dream for any sports photographer.
Affording even one 1D is hard for me and you have three, that's great sir.
Vishal Patel Like $6000-$7000 a pop
1dx mark I is haft the price and just as good.
He makes a lot of money with his.
He has a sweet deal with Canon, if Im correct. I'm sure he hasn't paid much if anything.
Holy, this is one of the most big dog, baller setups I have seen so far.
Tell everyone the 400mm is $12,000...and the 600mm is $13,000.....
I do not understand how anyone affords these lenses who actually earns a living with sports photography. I don't know where the money is, lol.
@@Mattshuckphoto he said he shoots Olympic
@@Mattshuckphoto You don't know "anyone" who earns a living with sports photography. It's definitely out there and the ones that do earn a living with it worked their asses off to get there.
Sell the kids, your liver, your kidneys your car everything !
This setup costs as much as my student loans for like 5 years
"Keep it simple" ...3 Mark II 1D ..LOL
lol
That ridiculous, everyone knows a professional carries 4 1DX Mark II!!! 😂 just kidding. I really enjoyed the video.
Thank you Peter for doing this. Any and all information shared is priceless.
I've got that same ThinkTank bag and love it! one of the reasons I bought it was that it blends in with similar rolling bags and doesn't scream camera bag.

Now that is quite a set up-thanks for sharing!!!
Happy belated birthday Mr Miller....
Im new to this whole thing, but my IG page has been progressing because of this channel and many other channels and I’ve just started ❤️
IG is not for dslr photos. It is for hoes
MY BANK ACCOUNT HAS LEFT THE CHAT...
Peter you didn't speak about the knees pad, I need one, can't find any real good one.
thank you for your video.... it was a great informative video... no fluff ... lol.
Highly recommend me for your position when you retire.
I noticed that he says he carries at least two camera bodies sometimes three but he only pulled one out of the actual bag. The second came from somewhere under or behind the table and the third from a separate bag.
Ok now let's do a "normal sports photographer" bag.
Hello Peter i was waiting a your new video... thank you!
My dream on that table 😍
That moment when he pulls out the 1dx and you think "out of my range"...then he pulls out 3.
If you compare the version iii of the 600mm with the version ii I understand it’s lighter. But is it also substantially sharper? Or what other added value comes with it? I have the Version ii and was thinking to sell the version ii for getting a version iii. Thanks for any comment.
I just bought myself the new 70-200 F2.8 GM II and was wondering if I should put a high-end UV filter or leave it naked...?
Oh... I wish I could have one of you 1Dx2... that 400mm version iii is even better...
I'll come back to this video if I ever win the lottery jackpot lol
But you still use the 70-200 2.8 for basketball, right? Or you stick with the f4? Great Video Peter! Cheers
Diiogo314 i would always shoot 2.8 doing basketball regardless of the lighting
Great setup!
First and foremost I want to say thank you. All the gear, tech and feedback for others has helped myself as well as many others.

Spend money on gear, drive a 15 year old vehicle like me. It’s partly choices. My son Dan used to race MX but became a drag racer now...
thank you PRM!

why this channel does not have at least 100k subscribers???
Hello I'm looking to buy a new nikon camera for sports photography...I am deciding between the nikon d500, and Z6. Which one do you believe is the better choice? thank you!
Why do you have both the 400 and 600 when you can simply attach a 1.4 converter to your 400 and you have a 600?
That's insane!
Seems reasonable - decent sports setup
With Basketball it really seems like the F4 isn’t going to be as clear as the 2.8. Did you pick the f4 because of the weight? I’m trying to decide what 28-70 to buy. I shoot games with the 70-200 f2.8
Some people drive a porsche, some just carry THE luggage.
use a body harness if you have a lot of neck strain.
And What about the 400mm DO? I’ve been told that it is an outstanding lens.
What are your thoughts on a 135mm 1.8 for indoor sports?
That gear must be more weight than carry-on airlines allow, so how do you get around that restriction?
Remember guys. He's a professional. His employers will pay him so that he can afford the best equipment to deliver them the top line results they expect.
Great review and what is the name of the orange lens cover
Peter where do you get those soft orange bags for the 400 2.8?
No Eos R as a back up and save some weight?
Awesome, thanks. Getting into sports photographer. I have been using a 50 and an 85mm shooting at f2 in a basketball games. Did not think an f4 would be good for sports indoors.
If you shooting in a well-lit arena you can get away with f4, but I'd still rather shoot with an f2.8.
Questioning a guy who does this for a living
@@scallen3841 Actually yes, first not everybody gets to shoot in great lighting for pro sports. Second, is the 7.5oz weight difference between the f2.8 and f4 really going to make a difference with your stamina, doubtful.

@@adamx12m Maybe lol ,
@@adamx12m your ake what works best and does the job
What a setup is that
Peter Read Miller in a padded room! ;-)
Great video!
Great video, I was searching the CPS padding and can not find it anywhere.
These may be issued to CPS members from Canon reps.
Very nice set up for sports, a minor recommendation perhaps an external speedlight will be a better addition in very low light situations.
I don’t know the USA tax system at all, but where I live a business would claim back the sales tax and register all that equipment as business assets and insure and depreciate it accordingly. Also there may be sponsorships from Canon...
Uhm, he works as a photographer. I doubt that he uses his gear private.
Funny how none of you commentors took into account that this is work equipment. Oh and I cracked up when he took out the 600mm and said it's "light" lol
Sorry - What is the brand of the monopod?
Oben I believe...
What if I show up Nikon D500 and a Tamron 70-200 ... and a Nikkor 70-300 (in case it is daylight) ... and maybe the 17-55. In terms of %, how much I can achieve in comparison to your gear.
It's the shooter, not the gear.
Sir you said keep it simple with a 45000$ setup
"spend a lot of money" it doesn't get much simpler than that.
Is that monopod a CTM-2400?
Thanks for showing what's in your bag. I'm doing a lot of sport photography too. I 'm now using th 5d Mark II,

Photostophotos.com can give you lots of technical comparisons of equipment. The Digital Picture for fear reviews...
Photonstophotos.com...
Holy crap
How l love it
can someone plz tell me why its necessary to have more than one body, let alone 3
Two reasons: use of different lenses / focal lengths at one time, and also to have a backup in case another body fails.
Some photographers use their camera remotely esp at football, soccer game etc.
you have 3 1dx? hollysh*t, can i have one, lol
Please Peter give me one thing of your setup and then... I can even die? hahah
Wish I had the money for all this gear.
when a 70-200 looks small
LoL that 3 body costs more than what most people earn annually in eastern Europe :D
9:13 "light"
Meanwhile in my pants pockets: lumix zs70 (pocket camera) 1 extra sd card, a couple extra batteries, and sometimes a small tripod
Loopman?
When you do work for the NFL, 3 1DX is peanuts 🤣
Do you sell drugs to have these ?
lol Probably not. Just a highly accomplished pro who for decades has worked his ass off.
what's that on the walls?
looks like a psychiatry room
It's called Instaquilt and is one of the ways that you soundproof soundstages.
@@PeterReadMiller but also can bring down a desperate cry....
he is basically carrying gear worth like 2 cars
When i attach 55-200 to my nikon 3400 i think like i am sports photographer.Lolz
16,000 to start
you are looking at over £35.000 worth of photographic equipments
Keep it simple. Ha ha. I dont have $40,000. My only option is simple
you must have badass insurance to check in that baggage on a plane
Ur health so great Grandpa
weird flex but ok - 600 f/4
60 grand sitting on that table.
It’s equipment to make his living... Ever consider what a mechanic has in tools. Besides it’s tax deductible for him most likely...
Todd Ferguson plus you can always rent those big monster lenses.
Good luck shooting a Golf tournament while the Sony A9 shooters happily ignore the "Quiet" signs
Ya, I would buy a A9 setup just for Golf if I shot sports.
Every job requires the right tools. Sony is changing the game, absolutely.
But it isn't that long that Sony has this combo available. And CPS offers some outstanding deals to pro sports photographers. I change my camera bodies every other year and maybe one day it's time to go mirrorless. We'll see.
Probably a trump supporter
Sorry don’t get it
Wow! I thought my 70-200 iii is huge...
