I have below a list of all the equipment we use on most our shoots. They are direct links to Amazon, where we bought all the same equipment. These are affiliate links, so if you want to support us, and buy the item off the link, will make a little money off of it. Your not charged any extra, and it goes to supporting us, just wanted to make sure you knew ahead of time :) These are all products I stand by 100 percent regardless, and all products we use on a day to day basis. At the end of this list I'll have a link to a blog going into even more depth about the equipment we use.
Camera Equipment I Use:
Canon 5D Mark III (use for all our behind the scene videos):
amzn.to/1Xe3uL3
Devinsupertramp Signature Series Glidecam:
amzn.to/1UU9UjC
My Favorite Lenses in Order of used most:
Canon 16-35mm F/4 USM
amzn.to/1Xe3KtA
Canon 14mm F/2.8
amzn.to/1UUacqQ
Canon 70-200mm F/2.8 II
amzn.to/1UUaf5X
Canon 24mm F/1.4L II
amzn.to/1UUaj5S
Canon 50mm F/1.2
amzn.to/1Xe3XwT
For all our aerial shots, we use the DJI Inspire 1, with two controllers.
amzn.to/1UUauhl
Our favorite audio mic for on board camera:
Rode Pro Mic
amzn.to/1R8xPMH
We also use B+W circular polarizer. They get rid of the reflections from water, windows, and most plants/green things. We use them whenever the sun is out. When buying a polarizer make sure to get the right size for the lens that you own. I feel if your going to spend the money and buy an expensive lens, it's worth spending the extra money to buy a polarizer of the same quality to match your lens, otherwise your lens won't be as clear. Plan on spending about 130 dollars US for one.
Here's a couple different sizes for common lenses:
77mm.
amzn.to/1UUbjH2
82mm
amzn.to/1UUbnXp
GoPro Hero4 Black Edition. This is the one we use and recommend.
amzn.to/1RIIxno
The GoScope We Use:

Every time a first comment :D
Not bad,
+devingraham Great Video! =)
+devingraham I have a problem with white balance,can you explain more about that please.Thank you for everything
Is it possible, that you show us how to colorcorrect in Adobe Premiere ore Adobe aftereffects too?
mine is up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start
+Armando Ferreira down,up,left,left,A,right,down

Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
what? i dont understand :(
Some people are getting mad about him not shooting flat all the time.
Guys, it's all preference and down to what style you prefer. As well as how much time you want to dedicate to editing in post.
For a TH-camr nearing 1M subscribers, you gotta bust out a video almost daily. Shooting super flat and then spending days in post just isn't practical.
Peter McKinnon has his super cinematic style which is what makes him... him! Casey's style is that raw, untouched vloggy style.
Devin's style is that super dramatic vibrant colour style, and if he can achieve that in camera, why not?
There are no rules in film making, so always experiment to see what works for you :)
I remember searching for color grading and finding your videos in a forum where they wondered, how many hours or days you must have spent on each shot to get these great colors. :D
I also tried shooting flat in the last time, but it just slows down the workflow for me.
+DorFuchs haha, that's so awesome. Would love to read the forum if you remember it?
+devingraham Sorry no. This was years ago... but I wondered since then, how you do things and I really enjoy these tutorial videos!
I prefer my videos look better after post not on camera. On camera only me watching it, but afterwards thousands of people are watching. My style is -4,-4,-4,0 and it gives horrible look on camera but when i sit on my computer there is a lot more control and details in my videos to color correct/grade. Dynamic range is very high
Yea, Yu have more options to color correct the way Yu want it AFTER you shoot ..I like doing everything in post !
A big part of why his videos look so great is because he films under good light conditions (golden hour) and he uses a Circular Polarizer.
Great tip thanks! I hate to have to spend so much time color correcting in post and I am rubbish at it anyway. That said, how do you monitor you in-camera profile? On the small DSLR LCD screen or on an external monitor?
How to colour correct - do it in camera.
Short ... Standard Picture Style (Sh. 0, Co. -1, Sa. +1, CT +1).
This really makes my canon 70d video look amazing :D
I love your videos! it helps me a lot to improve my camera skills :) Thank you so much and you are such a good speaker. thats why its super interessting to listen to you! :)
Interesting, I have always shot with a flat picture style but I guess that with compression you loose a bit of information so if you are not shooting raw then you will have less flexibility in post if you shoot with a more punch picture style but your image will be degraded less to get it to look the way that you want for the final edit.
The only problem would be that you would be slightly committing to a colour grade that you may not actually want to use when you come to post. Which would be bad if you changed your mind on the type of colour grading to use.
How do you match gopro footage to dslr footage. I mean in your video they both look almost same, which is amazing. Where as when I use gopro footage and dlsr footage in same video, it's easily distinguishable.
mine is;
0; -4; -2; 0
and sometimes I use cinestyle :)
i am really conflicted by this advice. Doing it in camera limits your color ranges, where as shooting flat gives you the data you need to color in post. I cant argue with your success, however, in camera tends to crush blacks and you lose details in the shadows/definition, especially on days where the sun is not as co-operative as you would like. Shooting with a recommended Cinestyle will do more for you, then letting the camera stylize your camera, unless of course you are doing everything to avoid post color correction. As you correctly stated both have their pluses and minuses, but i think the consensus has always been , shoot flat, do the color in post. there are SO MANY ways to get a style, like Red Giant Colorista, or Red Giant LOOKS i tend to believe post color correction will always win out. however Great video, good tips for people trying to get started with video creation techniques.
+TheMighty Thor The same with me. I think this gives you limitations. I want to have the whole dynamic in my picture and every information possible to decide in post in which scene I want to have which look. So I don't think this is a good tip. Furthermore, if you shoot with several cameras you have to use flat picture styles. And using Sony cameras you have to work in post because they do not have this colour science as the Canons have.
+TheMighty Thor I'm not sure about video, but plenty DSLR's can take pictures in RAW and JPEG simultaneously, so you have both files. I'm assuming developers have incorporated this for video file formats as well.
TheApp9 yeah i do agree, i think for some one just starting out tho, the tip is good for them, this is a setup meant to keep a person from having to do as little post color as possible. thanks for responding
Michael D for video FLAT is the equivalent of RAW, and i agree, for some beginners this tip is fine, it does go against most professionals advice but if we were all born with a camera in our hand, then we wouldnt learn anything :P thanks for your comment
TheMighty Thor I think so too! Just for our confidence: Philip Bloom is with our opinion. He wants the flatest image out of the camera with most information and does everything in post. Even sharpening, which he turns un lowest position ;)
Great tutorial Devin! I personally prefer shooting as flat as possible then grading later but if it is a quick shoot then I use pre-made settings. Just depends on the type of shoot.
+Chanseit I agree.
Awesome advice! Great to see this passed on. I did a lot of research also just like you and I really do like filming with custom settings.
Please cover aperture!!!
YES I really like the custom picture setup you gave us, I only use a 750D but it is really nice!!
I like these tutorials! It's helping so many people inclusive myself :D
Actually last time I was out to record, I did everything in the normal flat image, but it was hard to make it look good afterwards in Premiere, so I'll prefer the in camera style more when I can see the difference myself :P
+MacXGaming Let me know how it goes :) I know I had the same problem :)
Hey Devin,
Please dont mistake color correction with color grading when you're talking about stylizing a flat image. Your "flat" examples were on point as far as color is concerned. What you were doing was adding your preference of color grade not actual correcting. Wish you mentioned a little something about white balance settings and how to properly dial in custom white balances and when is a good time to use the presets given from canon because thats more relevant to the subject of "Color correcting" not picture profile settings. Cheers
Beautiful, thank you, you just got a sub👍
For skin tones I like Standard 0 -2 +1 0
Great vid, but I use flat profiles for color grade. It allows you to push the colors farther without damaging it. Color correction is more to bring realistic colors back, vibrance would have been more on the grading side
Could you talk about White Balance.
+SurpriseMF
The lower the number, the more blueish the picture. The higher the number, the more red it will be.
Outside during the day I go with around 5500k, during the night 3500k, inside during the day 4300k.
As long as I didn't screw it uo very badly, I can still adjust it in Premiere Pro.
+Video DSLR Tutorial Thanks a lot.
+do your camera stabilizer a video please devingraham
The worst words in the post producing arena are "fix it on post"
There's a difference between color correction and color grading:
Color Correction: make the image look right and life-like with no alterations of any kind.
Color grading: altering the image color tones, saturation, contrast etc. according to personal preference to give the viewer a different look / feel.
When you're adjusting the camera's settings for video recording to your likes, you're basically color grading the content on camera instead of in post-production. If colors look too much saturated, they're not life-like anymore. Hope cameras will be able to take care of all of this automatically: white balance, contrast, saturation and color temperature so that everything looks right. Then you can color grade it in post-production if you will.
Goat
Do it in Camera, is a good tip for everything..
+BauhoferProductions Just the tip
Hi, I used your instruction in the video. Now, can I use a white or gray cardboard white balance in your already color-correcting camera, please? Thanks
"a part" not "apart" (unless you DON'T want us to be a part of the adventure? ;-))
exactly my wordsss.....thanks for the video :)
hm i thought he would have used cinestyle
Hey Devin! I'm french and I love your work and what you do as well on this channel as devinsupertramp.
You discover my passion for photo and video, for several months I used a 600D and I'm doing pretty good, I would also point me to the photographer formations videographers!
If I could get in touch with you to handle more private is my chain and sends me a message with your Skype in here is that's it!
Otherwise I tried setting a counselor you in your video actually the colors are more beautiful more vivid even if my small DSLR its sees far less than on your 5D good but okay.
I Hope you will answer me !
+Harry Potter 17 Tu parles bien anglais !
+Arno DSL arrêté mec tu ma fait une fausse joix enorme ! mais merci d'avance
Hi Devin. I’ve been using your settings for my last 5 videos but my workout videos still look at bit blurry. My sit down talking videos look great..Should I turn the sharpness up if I’m further away? If so, to what setting?
Finally made it into a Teamsupertramp video hahahahaha!
Thank you!
I know you may not know much about makeup tutorials but I have this camera and I recently got it for christmas, I was wondering what a settings would be good for sitting directly in front of a ring light (cool fluorescent bulb) while keeping colours more true to real life?
That is the worst advice I have ever heard. If you have the resources, color correct in post. Or your risking the possibility of having oomph loompa footage.
Picture style for wedding, canon 70D lens 18-55mm.?
I like your videos! But some feedback of mine would be to step up your font and design game. It's really easy and it greatly improves the quality of video
Can't recommend this approach, even for novices. It's good to know what you want, but by shooting flat, you have so much freedom to adapt in the editing process. Something as simple as smoothing colour transitions between shots is made more difficult when colour grading has been predetermined by the camera operator.
+VaNilla I agree within a professional level. The examples I talked about were given mentioning quick turn arounds, and not having the knowledge awhile back to be able to take it in to be color corrected, or do it myself. I feel most film makers on TH-cam have to do whatever they can to get the best image as possible. Most film makers within the TH-cam space I've dealt with, didn't have the means to color there footage at all, so they were shooting flat, and could do nothing with the image, so that's why I feel it's really important to know that this is a great option out there. And it's the one I personally use when I'm not filming Raw.
+devingraham Surely though, even basic colour correction tools are better than those provided in camera? You can reduce sharpness, reduce contrast, boost saturation, and tint footage using tools available in entry level software like iMovie, all the way up to professional editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro and colour grading software like DaVinci Resolve. It's functionally the same as doing it in camera, but you aren't stuck with the choices you made on the day of shooting. You can even save presets, enabling you to apply your settings across all of your footage, saving time if you have to. I would suggest honing your skills in software rather than in camera, because that's where you have the most options, and it's non-destructive, but I respect your opinion :).
+VaNilla Yeah, to each there own for sure :) I do color correct now, since we are shooting RAW with the RED, BUT, when I shoot with DSLR cameras to this day, those are the settings I use, I promise I've tested out the other settings, and they work, but I've always preferred this look much more. And it truthfully has worked awesome for us. We have sold the footage for TV commercials all around the world, it's played in several super bowl commercials, and it was all those camera settings I mentioned above, and they had no issues with the footage, ha. So that's why I feel strongly about those settings for me, and I feel they would work great for most film makers on TH-cam that aren't shooting Raw :)
+devingraham And by lowering the sharpness on the camera, it doesn't make the image blurry by any means. I don't feel this tutorial video looks un sharp at all, and it's the same settings I used on this as well, for whatever it's worth, ha.
+devingraham couldn't agree more. mostly I'm shooting on a flat setting on my mirrorless camera, gopro and my DJI phantom and I really find the difficulties in post pro to get the result that I want. thanks devin for sharing! this is big
Hi, does this in camera picture style adjustment work when shooting stills in RAW ?
HI, I am using Canon 80D and my Picture Style for Sharpness is breaking down to Strength, Fineness, and Threshold. You have your Sharpness set as 0, what should I use for Strength, Fineness, and Threshold to try out? Thank you!
While you want to get your image right on set, that shouldn't be for the color grading, where you should aim for a flat profile and add the color grading in post. While your method of having all the color grading to be done on the camera while shooting isn't exactly professional, if you like the image as well as the people you work with/for, then I don't see an issue with it.
At 5:00 you expressed what I fear about shooting flat. I worry that I won't be able to re-create what the camera could have done had I not tinkered with the settings. With that being said, we shoot on a Canon 5d Mark III and a t5i and I've found both cameras in standard picture style do well in morning and evening light but mid-day the contrast and saturation seems funky.
VisionColor! They make the best profiles for Canon DSLR's. Check them out. Hopefully someone reads this. They make three styles that I've used. VisionTech, VisionColor, and Cinelook. VisionTech is the flattest of them all and it still looked great. Nice colors, good shadows, and great highlight roll off. VisionColor is a better standard profile. It's just as good as VisionTech, but slightly less flat. And CineLook is great for when you need to get stuff out quickly. It gives you the teal and orange look in camera. It's great and makes the footage much more vibrant.
Hmmmm. Giving me something to consider for my vids. Thank you.
To film in a true flat image you want your camera set at
Sharpness: 0
Color tone: 0
Saturation -2
Contrast -2
Flat picture style is not neutral(0,0,0,0). You lower contrast to keep the most amount of blacks and whites to get a more in depth image, you want your blacks to be black as possible and your whites to be white as possible. The same goes for saturation, you want your greens to be all shades of green rather than one tone of green. That is also the reason why you don't raise the saturation all the way, if you put your saturation to +3 then all your greens would be one tone and it would give it a less professional or unreal look. Once you get into professional color grading you will want to film in flat (0,0,0,0 is not flat) If you are great at color grading then you can achieve any look you want if you film in flat. It leaves the most information and many different shades to work with. If you get into the higher level of color grading I would recommend filming in flat. Of course, I'm just the High School Level Arizona State Champ in Digital Cinema, so you don't have to take my word for it ;) (Again, flat is 0,0,-2,-2)
Love you Devin and I love my Devin Graham series Glidecam been subscribed to your channel since 2012 :)
D, you're the Man. Opened my eyes with the Picture Control setting thing. Thank you.
MY Canon 80D has 3 sub fields for sharpness, should i just leave them as the default? & still put the other settings as Sharpness 0, Contrast -1, Saturation +1, Color Tone +1 ?
I Shoot photos in JPEG & RAW but i'd like to have some nice photos & video already coloured for those times i dont have time to sit down and colour correct or just wanna use the footage as test footage for something i will re shoot & colour correct later
Did you shoot this talking head with a Sony camera? Those are not Canon skin tones. Yes I agree you must adjust picture style settings and most importantly you must nail the exposure and color temperature right in camera as well since this video codecs are highly compressed and cannot really be adjusted natively in post like “raw” files. Think of this codecs as trying to color correct jpg images-it’s not possible, you are just adding color on top of color and further degrading an already lossy highly compressed file. If you really want that “film like” color, you are better off installing Visioncolor or Cineplus “Cinema” picture styles.
I agree with your approach. However, it does limit the freedom in post but god how easy editing must be, if the videos were color corrected/graded (playing with white balance colours) in camera. Everybody seems to be following a pattern. But one has to be really clear on the look before hand. I just hate post production.
Does the GoPro Hero4 has a similar "in camera" color correction option? Or does Protune already addresses color correction issues? What if I want to set my GoPro settings to match those defined in the video (Sharpness 0; Contrast -1; Saturation +1; Color Tone +1), is there a way to do it?
Surprised you don't use Magic Lantern and shoot in RAW, wouldn't that make it easier to color grade between different cameras(ie RED) to maintain continuity?
manual mode tutorial. i would love to know how to change manual settings depending on the lighting instead of just guessing without getting proffesional results with grain and depth of feild. thanks love these tutorial vids
What is your actual profile set to? Standard? Thanks!
Can u also change these settings for pictures instead of videos
Yes
I've watched so many videos, but I still can't get my videos to look decent. I tried your settings and a few other people, but my shit still look like ass. Is it just my camera? I have a canon t3i.
Can you change colour bit rate on camera? 8 bit, 16 bit, 24bit, etc... ? I can't seem to find that precise setting.
Thanks for the great info Devin. This is my favorite video so far. I like that your all about saving time because people don't realize how much time you have to spend editing and color correction just adds even more time. I'd love to seen some Red camera footage in your software color correction video and what the best settings are for that as well. By the way when I first found your channel it was the vibrant colors and great music of the Hawaii cliff jumping video that made me an instant subscriber. I think you only had a like 1 million subscribers back them. By the way these videos are the kind of videos TH-camrs love. I'm a TH-camr with 45000 subscribers myself.
This is a great piece of advice. Thank you for posting this. I am still trying to figure out all of my camera's settings. Thanks for posting.
Hey Devin, about your GoPro camera settings? We will be more than thankful if you make a video of that too! Thanks man!
Great video..please how can I get very sharp image on my canon 60D... I have set it but taking pictures I notice is not that sharp...
Hey Devin, this video was posted 2 years ago, do you still agree that you should do it all in camera? Keep it up!
Hi!!! I have used the 5d mark ii for so long but I just upgraded to the mark iii and it is SO different. How can I try to match my images on the iii to be the same as before? I really don't want my editing stye to change but it is with this new body! Please help
Soo going to give this a try! I recently got my first DLSR and everyone says something different. I have tried each one but no luck yet. My most recent were too bright even though my camera said it was fine. Sooo much to learn, so much to learn.
I like shooting very flat. Well depending on how much work you put into it. Slog is very handy, but it takes more time.
Interesting... I've been shooting all my footage on my 70D in "Neutral" and then trying to fix the colors to how i want it to look. I'll have to give this a try and see how it works out for me! Thanks for the tip!!
+Paul Lehman I would love to know how it goes for ya.
+devingraham Just shot a few clips on "Neutral" and your setting. I like the looks of the footage better when they are adjusted. I'll have to try more filming this way but i like it better because it isn't all flat. Thanks again for the tip!
Could you produce a video about filming with a steadycam? Noone else is so famous for filming with a steadycam as you :)
Thank you so much Bro being looking for this video long time. You really helped me a lot. Next thing tell me how to control white balance.
Been a pro till shooter for over 25 years now playing with video. Now these corrections settings for video, will they effect images should I switch back over to shooting stills?
ALL VIDEOS SHOT ON DSLR CAMS?,,,,,BUT WHAT ABOUT THE RED CAM YOU GUYS USE
Since I can't see this in the comments ... what sort of drone (I assume it's a quad) to get those gorgeous flying shots? I wasn't aware there was anything consumer grade that can carry the weight of something like a canon DSLR.
+devingraham is there the same function on Nikon cameras
But wait, the shots starting at 5:24 are the exact same two shots. So what was it originally? Hmmmm
+AccidentalBroadcast That first shot at 5:24 is with my picture profile I talk about. Then the following shot is the same location, 1 minute later, with me filming it on the "neutral" camera setting of the camera, to show the difference with shooting in "flat space".
I have a question. Does this setting looks the same on a Nikon camera?
can you make a video about using protunes on gopro!! please
I like choosing colours in camera as well 😍 with Sony
hey for the movies you been working on do you still use this profile
Picture battle only works for jpeg correct?
So how do I fix color in camera when shooting raw
+devingraham How to color correct in Sony Vegas Pro 13.0?
I think that doing everything in camera is bad. If you crank up the settings, In editing you're just screwed in case the shot went bad, you can't recover. I've been using a "flat profile" (just pulled down the contrast, sharpness and saturation) on my EOS600D and it's just better. I started doing this after watching a lot of tutorials on the internet. And is actually best. It takes more time in edditing but it's worth it.
I'm shooting on the exact same camera and I agree. I'm shooting in cinestyle, it's a lot more flat. Tho shooting flat cam be risky some times because it's easier to under/over expose the image. Some times I would just switch to a normal picture style to set my exposure and then switch back to cinestyle.
How did you focus on subject without using wireless follow focus?
How do you make sure the camera is constant in focus? Srs if I do autofocus you hear all the time : Bzzt Bzzt, Bzzt Bzzt
Devin! What do you think about the Canon 5D mark iv for video?
I have the 80D. If I'm in auto for video can I still get into picture style? Or will it change to whatever the camera wants when in auto?
this video is not what I expected but this is more inspiring than any other tutorial
Awesome! Thank you.
I agree that color correcting in-camera is better because it literally bakes the color into the file instead of trying to change it after the fact.
Canon still can't get rid of that yellow tint which is so annoying and clearly visible on your hands
Thanks .... m To using same with my Zumba Videos
Surely, shooting a flatter picture is better. Ur samples look too sharp, too saturated and absolutely no shadow detail.
Man... You just saved my life!! Thanks!! o/
Does it work for photos in raw? Or just for video and jpg photos and raw is without this picture style settings?
about the softwar editing ..I can't wait..but please let us know on windows not only mac
Thank god i found this video again 4 years later. i lost my settings for some reason and i want them back
Do you mean Color Grading?
Color Correcting is correcting the colors not giving it a stylized image.
Do you use polarizers with this picture style? The saturation may be get very saturated.
have you ever used magic lantern raw?
