Great video...as always. Hey Rob...have you done a video on your computer workflow at the stadium, as far as loading cards and using whichever software you do to cull and upload...ie photo mechanic, etc... If not would love to see your workflow on field...as I've been trying different methods recently. Cheers!
Have you ever shot some football tethered to the laptop.... Not sure this is practical though, also when you insert a card into your reader does that make the camera you removed it from redundant until you re insert it...? Or do you use multiple cards as you shoot....? Sorry that's a few questions together Rob, by the way got some great shots from behind the goal yesterday of one of our players converting a penalty using my remote like you suggested.
I haven't yet, mainly because I developed my workflow whilst using only 7ds. It's easier on the 1dx. I use multiple cards yes but that said the ingest into photomechanic is so quick the card is probably only out of the camera for 20 seconds max.
@@RobSambles Hi, Just saw this video . If i'm in a fixed position i like to use the ethernet cable from camera to laptop. Start a live ingest in photomechanic and just send off the ones I like . Then a quick edit in camera raw and then send off via photomechanic in ftp or dropbox etc . should work with you 1dx too . I use a nikon d4 and it works beautiful . cheers!
Rob, Great video. I am about to make the jump from desktop editing to laptop for Sports. Any ideas would be appreciated. Also, do you have an opinion on the new PocketWizard firmware upgrade?
The only advice on laptops is just to make sure you get something fast enough to run Lightroom etc. I haven't actually got on to upgrading the firmware on my pocket wizards just yet to be honest.
Hi Rob, Have you ever used a WiFi sd card to transfer you images direct to the laptop without the need to take your card out of the camera? Thoughts on this option.
Nice video Rob, my question...I take photos for the u10 rugby team my son plays for, I typically shoot around 700 photos for a game. Selection and editing usually takes me around two hours on LR, any tips to speed up my workflow? ( Don't say take less photos 😂)
Jokes aside I would say consider developing some presets for LR and start by going through them all beginning to and tagging the images you like first (a colour or a star rating etc). Video on this soon.
Matthew Walters 1. Get Photo Mechanic to cull photos. 2. Make your first shot “THE” shot, then take a few more. Also, who are you shooting for? Yourself, the parents?
Rob - care to comment on if you ever drop your 300 on your mono to move to the end zone with that 70-200, or you take it with you?
Sometimes if I need to move quick, like for a penalty or something maybe then yes I sometimes do

Thanks Ron, yes have a browse through my vids there's stuff in there. I'll do an updated one soon though.
@@RobSambles Thought you might have. THX! Any nidea how far back...as you've got MANY MANY great vids to cull through :)
@@roncournoyer2792 I would have titled it accordingly so shouldn't be too hard to find

Great job with the remote!

@@wilhelmwestergren Thanks Wilhelm. Yeah I need to experiment more with wiring direct from camera to laptop
@@RobSambles yeah, it is a great way to work . if you need some pointers let me know and i can show you . cheers
Hi Rob, Do you recommend getting a 300,400 or 600 mm for Football? Can you get a lot of action with your 300mm from one end of the pitch to the other?
I use a 300mm. 400 is decent, 600 probably too long. My 300 gets me what I need at the other end with a bit of cropping no problem

Velcro on the laptop/card reader. Great heads up. Cheers Rob.
Yeah an easy fix! I just grabbed some on ebay

Honestly no I've never tried it - you could I suppose. It would depend on reliability of the signal

Take less photos 😎

Another great video Rob!
Thank you!
Jeez Rob, don't you get a numb bum with that stool. I know I do LoL Great video.
Thanks Jim. Yeah they aren't comfortable for long
@@RobSambles Try a camp stool or 3-legged trail/travel stool. About the same height as the plastic one, but a bit more comfortable.
I'd have your laptop higher up Rob. You will suffer when you get older.
That sounds like good advice!
You talk a lot sir please do get to the point a little more quicker
