Sidecar Screen Capture

I pack my tripod on the back of the Motorcycle sidecar the bag works great for protecting the tripod from getting damaged.

Use Ram mounts on motorcycle handlebars and on a sidecar. Up until now only used Nikon Coolpix for stills and a dedicated Canon video camera. Got a GoPro 4 Black for a drone so now it can be attached to all the locations the other cameras did including a tripod.

You need this to match your aux/sidecar USB audio source to professional +4 dBU studio inputs. All the other pretty commonly available USB I/Os output no more than +12 dBU.

This thing is a beast. I would not expect anything less from Apple. My favorite feature is Sidecar with my Macbook Pro. If you're wondering if you should go with a iPad Pro or a standard iPad to save a few bucks. Just bite the bullet and go pro.

With the new screen mounted on my GP10, I can now see clearly what I am shooting... and the ability to capture a better quality video has just been made so much easier

It's hard to find setups for green screen that are wide enough to capture a vlog or webinar. This background is the perfect width and the setup was super easy fast.

Before I was plugging in the iPad and using quicktime to capture the iPad screen. This took way more processing power than I wanted. The Magewell along with the HDMI / Lightning dongle worked perfect and showed as a video source option for streaming. I just love how I just plug it into a Mac and it just works without the need of any drivers. It included a usb cable. You have to provide your own HDMI cable.

I use this for a variety of applications. From shooting 4K green screen interviews from my Sony A7s to capturing multi-cam presentations in HD to recording screen capture demonstrations from my client's laptops (preventing the need to purchase and install capture software for every new demonstration). Having versatile tools is important for me and the Odyssey 7Q+ has already become very useful in several different applications. This justifies its higher cost over the Atomos Shogun. Overall I think it's a better value for my needs. What I like about this recorder is the easy to use menu system with accessible buttons along the edges of the screen. This makes finding the different tools simple and intuitive. Utilizing the multiple inputs or the Titan HD Extract option has been very useful for shooting presentations. I also like the CD-Transfer_v3.0 software for making offloading the footage files simple and reliable.

I've had a 6D and recently upgraded to the 6D MkII After 4 years with the 6D there were a few features I felt would be helpful within the Mk II. The first is the articulated screen. I've run into photo opportunities in crowds that I could not capture without an articulated screen. The Mk 2 has one of the few fully articulated screens in the business that allows you to capture images that almost no other DSLR will enable. That is a big deal. The second is the dual pixel focusing on live view. The Canon system is the best in the business and coupled with a quality full frame sensor allows both video and still images to remain in focus which competitors systems generally do not match. The biggest negative in the reviews involve lower dynamic range at low ISO, say between 100-300 ISO. I'm not doubting this but frankly I'm much more concerned in low light and performance at ISO of 6,400 plus. Most cameras capture beautiful images in bright light including the 6D Mk 2. Finally the 1080 video and focusing is very good. The lack of 4K video isn't a big deal to me but it would have been great to include it. That said, the processing needed to crop and produce 4K video is pretty intense and HD video is quite good. In closing, the 6D Mk 2 is an excellent camera for me. I typically use a Canon 24-105 L lens and a Canon 50mm 1.4 lens and obtain great results.

When using Live View or just checking the sharpness of your last capture, getting a clear view of your camera screen is essential. Amazing difference using the HoodLoupe. Highly recommended.
