PATREON: ?
Heres that RC Truck:
That Charger I use:
The Drone used in this vid is the DJI Spark:
I recommend you look for it here:
Gearbest sent just the bare drone to me and told me to include this:
"Here is the coupon code for the DJI Spark: GBSpark
With the coupon, the price of the product will drop down to $529.99"
But then I purchased the controller and 2 more batteries myself. I'm blown away that that Amazon link above has it all for so good.
*VIDEO MAKING GEAR:*
- I used my iPhone for the longest - no excuses, use what you have and make stuff, don’t expect to like it, just do it! That being said I left my phone on a train in Norway and instead of replacing it I got sucked into the gear hype. Here is what I’m using now.
- Sony a6500:
— Also check out the lower end but still awesome versions: a6300 and a6000
I do not recommend getting the kit lens. Yes, it is small, compact and versatile. But the image quality reduces a dope camera to smartphone quality. A camera is just a tool to capture the image that a LENS makes, and the ability to try on different lenses is what makes these cameras so much fun for me.
- 18-105mm f/4 lens (a bit big and cumbersome, but impressive looking haha, it has incredible image stabilization and super versatile zoom range:
-35mm f/1.8 prime (Great for low light and shallow depth of field, small and super fast silent autofocus):
- External Mic:
- Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 is my new favorite, super fast wide angle manual prime. Extremely sharp, awesome for landscape or architecture:
- Tripod:
- Fancy Photo head:
- Slider:
- Ball Head:
- Neat LED light pannel:
- The light also needs like 8v external or these batteries: DSTE 2x NP-F550 Battery
