Super recording and material! Thank you for the review of the R5 Mark II. The R5 Mark II is already on its way to me. I am mainly afraid of the ventilation holes when taking pictures in the forest, meadows, on the beach, etc. (small bugs, midges, sand, dust and other dirt). What can you say about it? What is your opinion? Nikon Z9/Z8 and Sony A1/A7xxx / A9xxx do not have such holes. These holes seem to be isolated from the electronics. However, I am wondering about cleaning it, e.g. removing dust particles, small flies, dirt, etc.
@@pawetura549 Good questions! That's something I will ask Canon Professional Services. Other EOLs who and they had no issues while using the R5M2 in dry dusty concerns.
Ok, this is clearly more than a BG-R20 video. All of the platypod stuff deserves its own video as I am a user of that and would never look at a video with only BG-R20 in the title for information ion the platypod. Anyway, I do have a question for you with regards to the R5M2. I noticed that to do what you did you enabled to the silent shutter on your mark 2. In doing so, you exposed the sensor to the air which will force you to clean your shutter to get the dusk off. I understand why you want your camera silent for the application that you have, so here is the question: Could you have achieved the same thing using only the electronic shutter? With that, and using the setting to close the sensor certain when you power down the camera, the shutter makes no sound until you power down the camera. So it is essentially the same (I think and from everything I've seen in using both) as the silent shutter except that with the electronic shutter your sensor would not be exposed as long as you 1) turn the camera off before putting the lens on and 2) you don't turn the camera off in the field, which you won't because you will be remote shooting. The main reason I'm asking is because I see very little difference between the silent shutter and the electronic shutter (in fact, the silent shutter uses the electronic shutter) except for the sound of the shutter closing when you power down the camera (this happens if you set your camera to close the shutter upon power down AND you use the electronic shutter). The silent shutter just keeps the curtain up always to avoid making any sound. I like to keep my sensor free of dust 100% of the time. I have no problem cleaning a sensor but I do find that sometimes getting a perfectly clean sensor is not so easy because dust just gets moved around on the sensor during cleaning. If you never get dust on it, then you don't need to remove it. Hence, working in a way that keeps that curtain down when you power down the camera is a desirable thing to do (and it's not hard). Finally, that platyball does not appear to be a thing I want. You spent quite a bit of time trying to get it adjusted and tight in this video (and your camera nearly fell over). Thanks for the review of that! Take care and happy shooting!
@@RogerZoul thank you for your articulated question and thoughts. You answered your question. I have the shutter function set to close as well as sensor cleaning when the camera is powered off to prevent the sensor from being exposed. As with any creative process you can arrive at a similar result on different paths. You could disable the sounds and the electronic shutter would be almost silent. For the subjects I am attempting to photograph at close range, I do not want any sounds from the camera that could startle the coyote.
Heh, I love your "organic" style. You communicate a lot better than all the other folk who are wannabe actors...
@@PeterWhittlesey thank you
Thanks Bob,
I'd recommend powering off the camera before ripping the battery tray out so it can shut down properly?

wow. Professional of professionals
Will the “slave” camera AF before the shooting?

I've put the older BG 10 on the R5 mk 2 and it seems to work although all the info suggests it shouldn't, can it damage the camera
@@nigel134679 All right then! I'm not sure if it would cause any damage.
Does not work with the R5 ii without restricting pre shoot and 8k btw @@bobanddawndavis
@@Dewabarasunderan That makes sense when using the BG 10 features would be limited.
What is the name/brand of your hot shoe adapter?

Your video is green
@@goldenstasgs what do you mean the video is green? It appears okay on my phone and computer.
