What did we miss? #nogimbalnogimbalnogimbalnogimbalplease
Hey, a real nice video guys once again....i don't think you missed anything really....well you could have maybe mentioned grips @ 09:15 ....also what was that big diffusion panel, and what make was that that Ted was holding up!???
Love.
The one thing you missed is display calibration device. It's the best 150 bucks you can spend.
Maybe a On field Monitor? that helps a lot.. The camera screen on a sunny day could be a pain in the butt!
The flight.
Most fun I’ve had in a while!!! Thank you for having me Ted!!!
Hey you here 😄 love the podcast you did with Ted. Also love the show/Podcast on C47 channel 😎 Im Dutchvideoshooter 😃
Hey Caleb. Love your content. Thanks for all you put out! Quick question: What is the cage/handle that you were using on the GH5?
great point on the gimbals, glad to see you on here sir :)
Omg cool
Love DSLR channel. Great collab. Would all these recommendations translate well for my cooking channel?
DSLR Video Shooter is legitimately the most consistent filmmaking channel. Every video is informative and amazing. But I feel like he’s so underrated. I’m so happy to see him here!

it's nothing.... to make a film we need nothing... lol... the indy is crazy....
@@siham7010 technically all you need a camera. Just a camera that can do video. Yes 50 dollar handycams look trash but they still tell a story and that's the important thing (at least that's what everyone says)
@@8lec_R BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE....
0. $$$$$
Caleb was 100% how I started to learn how to use a camera, why I pay so much attention to my lighting, etc. etc. Dude is a life changer!
So glad to see him here and that you got a nice Chicago pizza! There's nothing like it!
I agree with you about Caleb. On that non-Caleb subject I'm from the East Coast and we like to think we know how pizza is made. Like those Chi-town hot dogs though. : )
Spot on, all of it!
What I enjoyed the most is that the camera was the last piece of equipment. I see too many people worried about gear. I got rid of a lot of gear years ago and now I am shooting a lot more. Excited to see where the future takes me as a Producer. (:
Just wanted to say that I really love this channel. You guys get right to the content that I came to see without minutes worth of obnoxious b-roll and vlogging. I don't care what kind of coffee someone made the morning they filmed the video I'm watching and I certainly don't wan't to see slow motion b-roll of it being made. I wanna see the content. So, THANK YOU for that. :)
Lolll Peter Mckennin got called out!!! But in all seriousness, I totally agree.
Agree. The b-roll looks great but you can only watch so much of it.
@@pattaprateek But people obviously like it...if I find an interesting video on a topic I want to watch, I almost always skip past the intros and B-Roll and get right to what I'm looking for.
This is a big Peter McKinnon thing but it's been kind of bothering me about Potato Jet recently too. He had some video recently that opens with like 5 minutes of him letting his friend cut his hair...like, dude, I'm here for the camera talk.
@@seangentry2943 It's not just a Peter McKinnon thing...it's a "every TH-camr trying to be LIKE Peter McKinnon" thing.
Caleb is a valuable TH-camr. His commitment to the GH5 shows he’s not swayed by the sensor craze. I trust his opinion.
Not on the list But you also need a skeleton inside of your body
debatable
Great point. This is often overlooked in the videography world.
Can we get a link to buy that?
not if you're 1 inch tall and 4 foot wide

Thank you for the content and showing us love. We appreciate the works you show us 💛 you can learn so much in today’s world
I can't even start to imagine how much effort you must put into these videos. TED you're amazing!
I just spent $5,000 watching this video
First thing I clicked on was $359...-__-
you also saved $10k :-)
I have a 1000 budget
@@knoxwrite you guys are getting a bucket?
Nice.
Love what you're doing. Kudos for approaching all the indie film makers we all look up on youtube. Keep up the good work !
Thanks Ted. Nice to see you both together. I have been watching Caleb's videos for a couple of years now and learned a lot. You have a new subscriber.
It's amazing what you're doing with the channel!
much appreciated! let us know what else you'd like to see
I looked forward to this video! Thank you for doing this series!
My wife and I have just started chatting about making a joint project documentary video, and I've been trawling youtube videos for several hours before finding this very practical gem. Maximum information in minimum time with a very practical bent. Thanks for this.
I love this series. Great wisdom. Having Indymogul back and fresh is awesome.
Really loved this quick guide. Also love the DSLR Video Shooter for some time. Just subbed to your Podcast. Keep up the great work and thanks Caleb for joining here!
Caleb, the guy I love the most when it comes to technical knowledge.
Killin’ it..... Love the direction you’re going in, Ted - Caleb is awesome, and the funniest part is I’m gearing up for my first big lightning and c-stand purchase!
Ted! Really loving what you are doing with the IndyMogul Channel! Good Stuff!
A 5 in 1 reflector was literally the first piece of kit I bought and I still use it for most shoots. Super handy and versatile, and really really cheap.
Insanely informative vid and dang, Y'all got crazy-high production values!
Aaah what a wonderful collaboration! So glad this channel is back 😊
Love the list. If I had to add one thing it would be a good monopod with flexible bottom feet. You can simulate so many camera movements that you get with sliders and gimbals with a quality monopod (push in, pull out, etc.) plus you can add a bit of handheld motion to a largely locked down shot like interviews and such to make them a bit more dynamic.
Great video. First one of yours I've seen and it pulled me right in. Nicely done.
07:47 "Light panels should ALWAYS be used with diffusion" says the guy literally sitting in front of two giant light panels with NO DIFFUSION 😂😂😂
I shot an entire feature film using the Aputure LS1c light panel with no diffusion. You really can't tell. If you can, then throw on diffusion.
To be fair the point about diffusion on light panels was to eliminate multiple shadows but since they're backlights and we don't even see the shadows they're casting it doesn't really matter here
AWESOME. Bro, I have been looking at your tuts and they are all great and very informative
I love what you do! Very glad and enjoying but also great information. Keep it up : )
Glad you had Caleb on! Love his videos.
I enjoy the fact that all of these tips still apply to photography
Super helpful! Love the collab!
Loved a lot of the advice, thank you. “If you take one thing away from this video is panel lighting should “always” be used with diffusion.” Not always by a stretch...
I’ve been watching this channel for more than ten years. That’s crazy.
Thanks for the tips! Love Caleb!
I'd love to have known these tips when I first started my filmmaking journey!
great video! love the honesty
Two of my favorite people coming together
Awesome episode! Loving the new content Indy Mogul is pumping out
thank you!
Wow I haven’t seen an Indy Mogul video in I don’t even know how many years now, I remember the first two hosts. The look of disbelief I made upon hearing that intro again, I didn’t even look at the channel name before clicking so I was floored. This just showed up in my recommended...... the years.......
Thanks for this video. I've been wanting to get a C-stand forever. I hope I can pick one up soon. For audio, I currently use a Sennheiser MKE 600, which I've gotten great sound out of. For audio recording, I use the Tascam 60D MK2, which does a great job and it's easy to power with a power brick. For the camera, I currently use a GH5, which I love. I shot an entire feature film with it. But, I am drooling over the BMPCC4K and its color science and look. But, my GH5 isn't going anywhere, believe me. Happy I subbed to Indy Mogul. Love Caleb.
Great stuff! 🤓👍
Thanks dude this was actually really helpful
I’m feelin that GH5 wood grip 👌🏽
What wood grip is that one?
I’m looking like a madman for it. Any luck yet?
Thank you so much for sharing so much humble advice. I'm starting to make money, and my first inclination was to rush out and buy a bunch of gear. I hesitated about a gimbal. You kind of confirmed a lot of what I was thinking :)
Another great one Ted! Thanks!
Thanks for the video!!! Loved it!
Incredibly helpful, thank you so much!!
Calebs a legend everyone deserves his voice :)
Caleb is amazing! Great vid!
Great advice for filmmakers. Gear can get very expensive, so knowing what to spend the money on will save people some waste for sure! Thanks!
Thank you! I've got projects I'm passionate about making but my technical knowledge is limited. This video will definitely help get me on track!
Fooshigi did you ever make them?
Really great tips. I've started filming cooking vids and am looking to make sure my lighting and audio is the best it can be. Thanks again!
What great advice. I was going to buy BMPCC 4k first and buy the rest. Now I have ordered most of the things first and buying a camera at last. I have a GH4 to play with and perfect my skill before I get my camera. This has been the most valuable advice on what to buy! Thanks!
Love the ending where Caleb takes you out for some of that Chicago style pizza!
Love Caleb's channel. Also: 5 in 1 reflector and at least 1 spare battery
Best one yet in the current series. Best by far.
I have a GH3 and have been using it for close to 10 years, it's been through everything imaginable and not failed me yet, and the image still looks good as well.
i've had mine since 2013...got the GH5 last year, and i still bring out the GH3 on a regular basis. Awesome camera....been through hell & still working.
Ryan Droege just picked up a GH4 to get into better shots! Panasonic makes great cameras 📸 What wood grip would fit this camera?
If you get the right gear and know how to use the gear then it will absolutely help you make better films. Its significant how much the right gear helps you. I am so thankful someone finally suggested a tripod over a gimbal. Too many people just slapping cameras on gimbals and running around. 100% agree with you. Also vintage lenses are absolutely amazing, I have seen superb things shot on older primes. You don't need auto-focus anyway and having manual aperture is stellar. YES LIGHTING!! This is the BIG separation. The 1K Moles are STELLAR!! I have a 3x1K kit I bought used on eBay for a very very good price and I also have a 2K Junior as well as a 650watt Mole. That's quite a bit of light and usually will properly light any scene I want to do. These Moles are SOLID and will last you forever just as he says. LED's are great in their own way but currently too "new" in my opinion to really invest in, but soon. Its safer to use "paper amps" when calculating the load. Watts/100 will give you the "paper amps." Therefore a 1K will eat 10 amps. This will always give you a buffer in case someone decides to plug something else in and not tell the electrician. C-Stands, another yes. Amazing stands. They can do anything you want, and that is said almost literally. Digital Juice has them pretty cheap and they are matte black. Be sure to add a strip of neon tape or something to help people see them in dark situations. Have acquired 10 of them by hitting up Cyber Monday deals. If you get it at the right time they are %50 off. Really great suggestions from DSLR Video Shooter.
Caleb is so spot on.
Thanks Ted and Caleb that was very helpful 👍
I love Caleb! He should be the 1st sub for anyone new to the video creation game!
Great episode guys thank you!
Love your videos!!! You are awesome!!! lol Sense of humor is everything...makes it more interactive. I am an artist... I am beginning to shoot my own music videos, sometimes stressful, but you inspire me to keep on doing it with what I have... thank you...
Very nice video! Thanks for the tips!
The new Indy mogul is stupid good quality, I’m loving it!
2:40 before the video got to #1 on the list.
"Man, you dont need that gimbal"
me: *nervously looks at my Ronin SC*
"Looks at ronin s with tilta nucleus nano while dont even having lighting"
@@user-dh5fp4gw1b nah, I just bought the pro kit
@@CINEMAVISIONCZ well i bought what i just described and i dont regret it? But i should have bought a really good light first
@@user-dh5fp4gw1b yep, lights are very important and boring. Gimbals are not important but really cool.
@@CINEMAVISIONCZ the ronin s really impressed people with my footage so i dont regret it tho, gonna save up for a aputure 120d mk2 now. I just know its worth it
Great video, I watch Caleb's stuff, even going back 2 or 3 years. I bought a C-Stand from Adorama for $100, it might not hold a car aloft, but it will hold what a beginner like me can afford in lights, reflectors, etc. Also, all the little stuff like clamps, 1/4-20 bits and pieces, ball mounts... I buy it directly from China for $1-$2 with free shipping on Ebay.
Thanks for the great advice guys!!!
Wonderfully informative. Literally learned more in this video about gear than my 4 years of film university.
Solid!
Omg there are so many youtubers on the video btw D4rious I subbed yo you
Very helpful and fun video :) Thanks for the tips.
NOOOO WAY WHAT!!! Devin Supertramp next, wow you guys are killin it.. Looking forward to that.
And this was a great episode too, really informative.
Lol I find myself watching this video every time I make a purchase haha. Great guide!
Great vid dude!
Nice video! Interesting list!
that color checker thing is a genius idea. wow
super entertaining, well done, thanks a lot !
Could you do a video going into more depth about buying vintage lenses? What to watch out for, how to know what vintage lenses will work on what cameras, what adapters you might need?
This was helpful. Thank you!
Terrific and very informative video.
Most helpful video in years!
Love this! Great advice!
Tripod , color chart , and lighting . Nice!
dope! Thanks for the info. very helpful vid
duuuuude it's so wild to see these people I watch all the time out of context on your channel. Keep it up y'all
Thank-you for this simple -down to Earth guide! :)
Nice to see Caleb out of his studio 🤣. Thanks for taking him out 😂

This is legit advice. Thank you
Super advice. Thank you.
Nicely done, well done😀
