![Filming a "NIKE" Commercial with a Canon 1DX Mark ii [Behind the Scenes]](/img/n.gif)
Nice video and comparison of the Logs vs standard. It honestly depends on the scene IMO with the picture profiles. I live in Oahu, HI and there are usually tons of blues/aqua/green in my shots and sometimes the Log3 is just too flat for any of the LUTS that I use and it's tough to get the sky to match the rest of the scene. I find using a Circular Polorizer filter to make the sky pop and bring down the exposure on it plus underexposing the image just slightly really helps out LOG 3. Mainly I use LOG 2, as I is for me the easiest to just toss a LUT on it an tweak the footage slightly and I'm finished. In extreme BAD light I do find it to struggle just a tad but lets not forget this is not a Cini camera or anything crazy.
I'm also a fan of shooting with a modified version of just the neutral profile with saturation and contrast turned down. Also, for footage in good light, standard is really really good and barely needs any work for the most part. I think the 1DXii is plenty good in 2019 and for me it will for sure carry me well into 2020 and beyond. I got mine with 8000 shutter cycles brand new in box pretty much for $4300 if that gives you an idea. I also traded in my old 5Diii and got a nice credit from KEH.com and couldn't be happier.
I'm also using PIXELFLASH 128g CFAST cards. I got them on amazon and I can not say anything bad about them. they handle 4k 60p with no issue and have been reliable so far at a reasonable price.
EDIT: the other thing for me that makes this camera just baller and stand out is the BIT RATES described in the video. There is not camera in this category of cameras that shoots even close to the 800mbps in 4k that this shoots and even the I think don't quote me, 380-400mbps that it shoots in 1080 at 120fps. Yes it's files are massive but I just think the quality is unmatched for this reason.
Hey Joshua! Thank you for this amazing feedback! It's so important we all share our experience.
Great tips and info in general! I'm so stoked you're happy with the 1D X mark ii, and just like me, know we're going to use it for years to come!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Keep on creating with your cam, bro!
All the best,
Paul
I'm a fan of Neutral and Standard as well, and it's nice not having to grade the picture so much all the time. If you can get a great looking picture straight out of camera then go with it. Totally agree about bit rates, it absolutely makes a difference.
How to get C-Log for Canon 1DX mII?
Entertaining video. I just bought the 1dxmii a couple of weeks ago and I had my doubts because of the heft and lack of features that could be found in other cameras. But the bit rate, color science, auto focus, tracking and nice slo mo won the day. The Cfast cards hurt the wallet and I have to upgrade my PC, and the workflow is slower because of the file size. This camera on a gimbal is also heavy. But the bottom line final product still looks the best, and more professional. Back in the day so much more time, money and work would be needed to get the same results. Today your results are greatly amplified in relation to the amount of extra work and resources you're willing and able to put in. Bought mine for 4k U.S.
Thanks for your input, Eddie. I really appreciate it! Yeah, the Cfast 2.0 cards are pretty pricey and the file size is huge! I use the Transcend CFX600 which is around $200 for a 128Gb card. I film mostly in 4K and it has never dropped a single frame. And the 1D X Mark ii on a gimbal is heavy. I use it with my DJI Ronin S, which I can operate longer than my old Glidecam, as I can use both arms in holding the gimbal, instead of only on on the Glidecam. Completely agree on all your points regarding final product. Both my clients and I are more satisfied after I upgraded to the 1dx mark ii. 4k US is a pretty good deal!
Again, thank you for your inspiring words! Have a nice one ;)
Best lens for this camera for video?
I'm also testing out the Clog picture profile developed for Canon cameras by Atomos and James Miller. Is it working? ;)

Great job, I really learned a lot. I have the 1DX Mark II and the C100 and XF305 and it compares really well. My 1DX is better than my C100. Thanks for the info.
amazing video , keep making videos about canon 1dx markii
thank youu:D
Thank you soooo much! :)
Hey @Paul Heimlund, greetings from Sydney Oz. This is still so relevant in 2022! So few people actually ‘get’ the importance of bitrate… and the 1DX2 still produces such a high quality image that I continue to use it for stock video production, documentary projects and of course photography in 2022 (and hopefully beyond). Until the M1 macs came out, the only way to edit it without a proxy workflow was on an iPadPro with LumaFusion… and I still use LF for 1DX2 post production with my M1 iPad.Love your work, keep sharing…
Hey Spike! Yeah, I completely agree. The 1dx mk ii is an extremely reliable camera. The image is still fantastic and as you say very easy to edit. Thanks for your feedback :)
Great looking footage ! Great stuff! ☘️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☘️
Thanks, man! Much appreciated 😁
Awesome vid super helpful
Thanks, Anthony! I'm glad you find it helpful ;)
nice, thanks. What u have used at 7:03 as a diffuser?
Thanks! I'm using plates of perspex for my product shots, as it diffuses the light really nicely. They can also be used as bases, like the black one the star wars toys are on top of. Perspex gives a nice, single image reflection, not like mirrors, where you might see two or three images reflected.
Hope this helps :)
I need advice. Is a 1DxM2 with 24000 release cycles, 2 CFast cards (32/64) and 2 batteries worth it for $4500?
Hey Josek! The 1d X Mark ii has been tested for up to 400,000 cycles, so you should be fine there. The cFast cards are a bit small, but is sufficient if you mainly take pictures or film in 1080p. In total you save $1000 on a new body with one battery. The cards and extra battery can be purchased new for just over $300. Personally I would try to get the price a bit down. On amazon.com you can get new ones from just over $4500, just make sure to check shipping details and the reviews of seller. Check out this link: amzn.to/2SLd287
Anyway, hope this helps and don't hesitate in getting back to me if you have further questions!
Great video, i also own a 1dx mk ii and i use the EOSHD C-Log profile its pretty good
Thanks for the tip and comment, Dan!
Cheers;)

Where do I get the c-log?
Good point Wilfredo! ;)
I've linked it in the description now. Here you have it: www.atomos.com/offers/c-logupgrade
It's not free, but through this link you'll get it for under $15
@@PaulHeimlund I think the link has changed. Could you please provide the link again?
@@hijun4740 Hey! Just checked the link and it’s working fine...
As much as I like my A7III, the 1DX MK II (or III if/when it comes out) is my Holy Grail camera!
Best comment ever ;)
Have a great weekend!
I might have to give this a thumbs down for putting Kylo-Ren and Tonton Skywalker in the same scene together. 😂 Nice video!
Hahaha! Love it! My old Darth Vader figure is missing his cape and he looks kind of weird. Let's just say Luke had a vision of Kylo Ren on the planet Hoth 😆
Thanks for your comment!
@@PaulHeimlund Hahah! And thanks for the content. I'm a fellow 1DXII owner. Just subbed.
David Alexander Great! Thanks, man! It sure is an awesome camera...😃
