I remember watching some videos Bob did with Nikon. Always informative, always top notch. It's great to see him again, I've gotta find him on TH-cam and follow whatever he's doing. Thanks TH-cam algorithm for recommending this!
It’s always good to learn from an elderly person. The experience and pacing is far better than the younger TH-camrs on this topic.. I enjoyed this!.. I’m also a one man team. It’s a lot
this is fantastic! love the way you talk and how you explained everything and set everything up... this is really helpful and pleasant to watch. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much. I am middle of my first feature length documentary film, and was not sure about the equipment I am using. This video helps me a lot. I couldn’t express how much my doubts are clear. I am going to buy all the gears. Thank you so much.
Any chance we can get another video on how you pack everything as one man documentary film crew? Those stands and lighting gear are really messy, and no many TH-cam reviews on that.
That magnetic mount set up is cool! Never heard of such a thing. I don't remember the name of the product, but I was thinking about using rings that increase the diameter of each of my lenses so I could use one variable nd across all my lenses.
The magnetic system is called Xume and it is handled by Manfrotto. Freewell filters has recently come up with a magnetic system as well. It's a great idea to standardize on your largest lens diameter and use step down rings...just watch out for vignetting (darkened corners) on your wideangle lenses because the rings of the magnetic system and a step down rings are almost like adding a very shallow lens hood.
Hey Adrian, Great question! You can actually see the full list of gear (including Bob's mics/audio set-up) here: www.desktop-documentaries.com/gear-kit-for-a-one-man-documentary-film-crew.html
Hi Adrian: Update on the microphones. For the run and gun stuff, I've been using the Rode Wireless Go set up, along with the Rode Video Micro. I also have a Sennheiser MKE 600 shotgun for bigger setups.
This is indeed a great kit, and it can work wonders in the hands of the right filmmakers. Like it does with your shots, Bob. However, I'm surprised to see that there is no tripod or any other kind of camera support equipment in your kit. Does that mean you mostly shoot handheld? If not, I am sure I am not the only one here who wants to know more about the kind of camera support equipment that you go with.
Thanks Abhilash. You can see Bob's full gear list (including tripod/support gear) here: www.desktop-documentaries.com/gear-kit-for-a-one-man-documentary-film-crew.html
You're right in terms of depth of field. As far as light transmission, it stays the same. I find that super shallow DOF can actually be a hindrance when filming for doc work, so a smaller sensor with deeper focus plane without sacrificing low light performance can be just the thing I need.
I want to film. And spread meaningful messages. The most meaningful message. Christ and the Gospel and the Bible. I hope I will be perseverent and save monney for it.

I see an man who understands storytelling and needing only the gear he requires to tell it. Very simple, very straight forward and i love it.
Truth
Yes
This video is pure gold, thank you!
Awesome Documentary. I just completed two documentaries this year here!
That's awesome!

Glad you enjoyed it!
This is so great. Thank you for this information!!
I always thought it’d be awesome to be a still photographer for travel magazines.
Love it ! I'm also a one man band and my only bulky gear is my video tripod. My camcorder has a built in 24-600mm too ! (f1.8 to 4).
What's the camcorder?
you make so much sense since you moved from stills to film. and it shows in your analysis and choices. thanks a lot.
this is fantastic! love the way you talk and how you explained everything and set everything up... this is really helpful and pleasant to watch. Thank you!!!
That's a very honed little kit you have there. Thanks for sharing it with us
Agreed, 2 years later.
Great information! Thank You!

Wonderful presentation, I hope I can be as good!
Thank you for sharing!
You're most welcome!
Wow this guy is so clever with his setup!
Seasoned Sony shooter! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the informative video, Bob.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this video with us.

If you find the link for it. Can you please paste it here? I whoud be grateful.

Bob Krist just updated his gear kit for 2019 to include the DJI Osmo Pocket Gimbal: amzn.to/2JBwb8W
Great video Bob and thank you for a detailed description of your gear. Would be good to know what microphones setup do you use for interview work.

For travel, I've got the Movo VXR 10 mic and the Sony ECM-XYST1M hotshoe stereo mic. Both are tiny.

Exactly what i was looking for

@@Desktop-Documentaries Much appreciated. Thank you.
Looks great. Thanks for the information. Are you primarily shooting at 24p or 30p?
Great advice. I'm wondering though, how about RX10 vs AX700 (camcorder with similar specs)?
on your list you forgot to put the nd filters , far as the link when you click it , i was trying to see the one you use for that 16mm sigma 1.4
I use Gobe ND filters connected via the Xume magnetic system.
Your first subscriber...☝️😁
What laptop do you use to edit?
Bob, I'm just so confused. On a crop sensor, is the aperture of 1.4 not equivalent to a F2.1 in a 35mm equiv?
You're right in terms of depth of field. As far as light transmission, it stays the same.
I find that super shallow DOF can actually be a hindrance when filming for doc work, so a smaller sensor with deeper focus plane without sacrificing low light performance can be just the thing I need.
What Katie says!
can I do documentary with Sony dsc-HX9V digital camera that has his own L & R sound?
What camera are you using for this video?
Didnt even invite me to come Bob? Smh 🤦🏽♂️
What is a good camera to start my documentaries as we speak on 2020 under 1.5k
Sony RX10 IV is just about that price, very versatile, completely set up for video.
Did you heard of the semminars of Kent Hovind?
6500 in 2021?
I want to film. And spread meaningful messages. The most meaningful message. Christ and the Gospel and the Bible.
I hope I will be perseverent and save monney for it.
go on
Keep fighting the good fight!
Nice gear kit. A 4K drone would be less expensive and safer than hanging out of a helicopter door.
