Professional Video Camera For Music Videos

It is very sturdy and very professional. I shoot music videos and short films. This tripod gives me exactly what I need in terms of stability. I find myself making adjustments on my camera in the middle of a shot for aesthetic reasons and it allows me to do so without any shaking or vibrating the camera. It's a bit heavy so it's not really for moving around too much. Other than that, Bravo to this wonderful tripod!

I have to say it almost satisfies all my needs perfectly. I am not a professional user, and I have kids. So most of the time I use this camera to take photos and videos for my family and sometimes landscape photos too. This camera is pretty good at both photo and video. The full articulating flip screen makes it a lot easier when I take photo/video from low/high angle. Cannot go back to old style flip screen. The most important thing is that it supports Gyro stabilization which allows me to take videos handheld all the time --- the stabilized video is like using gimbal. It makes it possible that I can always carry it and use it in my daily life. (Cannot imagine to carry a gimbal when go out with family and kids) The camera is not perfect, for example, small view finder and less customizable button, one card slot. But those really don't bother me at all in the real use. Consider above advantages and its price, I don't see any other similar camera. I think for a non-professional user who wants to use the camera for multi-purpose and want to use it as much as possible, the Sony A7C is the best choice in market. Btw, one thing does bother me sometime --- it doesn't support 4K/60fps. So I use 4K/30fps in most of situation (so I can get 80% slow motion) and use 1080p/120fps when I really need slow motion.

As someone once said, “If you like your current camera, you can keep your current camera.”  Or you can just acknowledge the changing times and take a serious look at something much smaller, faster and with many more features and benefits. I own this camera and purchased it from B&H along with the Panasonic 16-35mm f/4 lens, the Panasonic 24-105 mm f/4 lens, the Panasonic 50mm f/1.4 lens and the really cool and small XLR adapter. What really sold me on coming over to the Panasonic S1H from 20 years with Canon was watching the just released training video for the S1H authored by the former Sony training video legend, Doug Jensen. https://vimeo.com/391706599. It was and is the best $49.95 I have ever spent.  4 hours of in depth and real world training, including 18 different videos. This is a professional training video by a professional with some serious street cred, not some guy with his ballcap turned around backwards with an iPhone taped to the ceiling showing yet another unboxing of a camera. Prove it for yourself. Watch some S1H sample videos from Vimeo or YouTube. Or, build a simple Excel spreadsheet and compare the differences between the S1H and any camera you currently own or are thinking about purchasing. After dialing in the correct settings, I can readily see why Netflix has this camera on their approved list for content creators. 4:2:2 10 bit color internally and the ability to shoot in either full frame or Super 35mm.

As soon as I got this amazing, tiny, video camera, I put it to use doing music videos. Indoors, and outdoors, this is one fantastic piece of equipment I wish was around years ago! It's range from wide angle to telephoto, and EXCEPTIONAL sound reproduction (due to the XY mics), is by far more amazing than you would ever have thought from such a small camera. You will be astonished, as I was, at the quality of this camera. Did I mention, you won't find a video camera this good for twice the price?

I've been using a video camera to have friends shoot my music videos for years. Finally I decided to buy the Vello handle and guess what? It makes shooting videos much easier because the handle gives the camera person more control over what they are shooting which makes for more creative freedom. Like a steering wheel on a car helps with its agility.....the Vello allows you to shoot from any angle giving stability to the footage and shots that would be impossible without it.

This camera is perfect for professional photos and video.

I am not a professional video editor, but do like to edit videos using Adobe Premiere CC. Boy, what a difference this hard drive makes! Render times are much faster and my iMac no longer freezes when editing. The drive is very fast and not noisy at all. I'm thinking of purchasing a new one soon to be able to store more footage and all of my photos.

I use it to make professional video, and short self taped videos. I choose to record with a smartphone for convenience, and it does the job perfectly. Note that it might be a little sensitive for the iphone's voice recorder. I downloaded another recording app, and the level is perfect. Perfect level on my android device as well. I highly recommend this mic!

I am so happy that I got this. It is already making my youtube videos look a lot better and I've had a couple of chances to use this in a music video. Also, the app to control it with your phone is great. Would definitely like to try the 4 kit with the charging case!

This is a great product and I will be getting another one. It is great to not have to worry about the outside XLR cable. This boom pole will be used in music video productions, promotional videos, and training videos for 747 Productions.
