What Camera does MKBHD Use?

2018-02-20
yo guys johnathan here today I got a fun behind the scenes look at shooting with mkbhd what gear he uses what gear he recommends and also the Tesla Model 3 so this is cool for me because often times I prefer being behind the camera in terms of the creative process as opposed to being in front of the camera capturing the shots the composition that's all really fun to me so it's kind of cool to kick back watch Marquez do this thing but still capture everything from my perspective the camera is the weapon carbon-fiber body that I've had for a while but the sensor inside is new it's the full-frame monstro 8k sensor and it's glorious I mean the obvious thing is all my lenses are wider now I could never really use the hundred millimeter macro for anything other than really precise setup shots but I found that I can actually use the hundred now for medium shots and weird other applications so that's pretty fun my favorite lens now that I have the full frame is actually the Zeiss 55 Otis it used to be that 18 to 35 and I still use Sigma's 24 to 35 for a lot of the same stuff but I really like that 55 now now for a second I wanna hop in because this has become kind of a slightly controversial and heated discussion of why youtubers choose red to shoot video when it's completely and absolutely unnecessary actually to an extent to agree 100% with that and there are a ton of amazing creators and videographers out there shooting on GH fives a 6300 a 7s Canon 5d 6d SAT DS all kind of DS you get the point and I'm sure you've heard this a million times before it's not what you shoot on but how you shoot on it and yeah it could not agree with that more myself the reason why I decided to go red was kind of the commercial work that came along with YouTube right now I'm working on a commercial for Philips that lives outside this channel on their website this was all shot on red that's where these higher-end cinema cameras for me at least start to make more sense now as far as marques there's not really much that needs to be said there's a reason why he's at where he's at plus he's constantly and has always tried to push the envelope in terms of video quality so naturally that makes sense the other thing I think people often forget is even though we do this as a career it's also what we do for fun so just like someone would invest in the music year or two cars it's kind of similar to how gear is for us I don't party I'm not really that in the car surprisingly I do have a slight shoe addiction but other than that video gear is really what gets me excited and also I'm sure mark has like myself has aspirations way beyond YouTube so really that's why we go crazy over video gear with that though if you're curious what camera marques recommends on a budget that's YouTube's camera under 1,500 bucks well that's tough I almost at iPhone 10 does that make me a 6500 that come in under 1500 I know I think that's sony alpha 8 6500 also when we hang out there usually seems to be some sort of gear purchase effect that goes on and our gender can attest recently I was able to scoop up a pedestal on eBay for an insane price honestly that's really the only reason why I consider grabbing one it was so new that Marquez thought I was holding out on him this is life-changing I'm mad at you for not showing me this earlier this huh we just got new tripods in the studio and that's all fun but there's only so much you can do with the tripod without wheels this is a glorious tripod with wheels I'm all-in I mean so the classic vertical shot whenever you see the camera moving up and down it's usually a lot of work I could demonstrate it on that tripod but it's just such a pain but this is literally weighted to the point where I've completely unlocked it it's study and then one finger now is just lowering or raising the entire thing plus you have a head on top here so you can do these parallax shots I was missing this in my life but expect to step up in the video quality as soon as I get back lastly the model 3 this is my first chance checking out the car I was actually really impressed I know I said I'm not that into cars and for whatever reason that chromosome in me seems to be missing I like them I appreciate him but I don't crazy about him but the Tesla Model 3 actually was really freaking nice the tech inside the model 3 is incredible I think the biggest downside though is it's nearly impossible to get one anytime soon unless you a pre-ordered one way back one or you own a Model S which kind of defeats the purpose of trying to buy a more affordable Tesla either way though it's awesome again if you miss that full Model 3 video that is linked on márquez's channel down below hopefully enjoyed the spinous scenes look if you did and you are feeling like being awesome make sure to smash that like button this is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later
