what's going on guys a driver's consumer and I get a lot of questions asking what kind of camera or mic that I use so I decided I'd make a little series where I talk about all of the equipment I use to make my youtube videos and today we're gonna be starting off with video so let's not waste any time let's get right into it and alright guys I just want to start off by saying you won't need the level of equipment that you see in these videos to start your own YouTube channel but this is what I required over time to reach a certain level of quality but with that said let's talk about the most important part of video making the camera I used to so many fs7 and it is a beast of a camera I was invested in one of these when I was making my jump to 4k and it records 4k internally all the way up to 60 frames per second and it couldn't even shoot 1080p at 180 frames per second for some super buttery smooth slow motion it produces some amazing image quality shout-out to Team crispy and it gives me more than enough room to mess with my clips when it comes to color correcting or any other post-production it's a little bit on the larger side but it is made for running gun you can throw it up on your shoulder and use that extended arm control to kind of get a good stabilized shot out of it and so far I'm loving the fs7 it's everything I've wanted in a camera I'm very pleased now you might have noticed the giant monitor attached to my fs7 and that is the animal Shogun it's an external 4k recorder that allows you to record in 4k to an SSD now that's actually one of the biggest reasons I use it for K can take a ton of space and being able to strap it onto a one terabyte SSD makes running out of space a non-existent issue not to mention it's an awesome giant display with tons of great tools to help me see what I'm recording super clearly and of course with the camera like the FS Evan you've got to have some decent lens options I keep around a Sony 16 to 70 millimeter constant f4 zoom lens so I can get those really sharp and close-up shots of products as well as a Rokinon 24 millimeter F 1 point 5 prime cinema lens which is a dope lens with a manual pitcher rain and shout out to Jon from TLD for putting me onto that lens and my absolute favorite lens of all time the Sigma 18 a 35 millimeter constant F 1.8 lens whoo I used to rock this guy with my Canon t4i as well as my Canon 70d and I've been in love ever since it's got really nice sharp images and it's got ton of bokeh not as much as that Rokinon but it is amazing and it's super sharp so I am in love with that lens highly recommended and for those of you who watch the vlogs and always asked what I'm recording with I use the Sony rx100 Mark three and this is an amazing little pocket camera with some crazy image quality now I'm not sure if it's the best camera for vlogging due to some pretty slow autofocus during video but it's been working out pretty well for me and you guys seem to really like the 60 frames per second we typically shoot them in one of the major selling points for me with this camera was the swivel screen so I can make sure I was in focus while recording and some of you have seen my articulating arm and pistol grip combination pretty much a homemade selfie stick for my vlog but they do it for the vlog and this is what I pretty much use to get my vlog images but that's pretty much the hardware side of what I use to capture video but now let's talk about some of the stuff that I used to actually edit I'm on the final cut pro 10 bandwagon and it's one of the first real video editing software's I've used besides Windows Movie Maker but it's been a great experience for me so far and it was actually really really simple to pick up it didn't have a crazy learning curve re picked it up also so it's actually really nice and simple while it still offers a ton of great tools I haven't found any tools missing from it to accomplish what I needed for all of my videos so I've been very contented with it now you're not gonna get anything crazy from it like Adobe After Effects but I've never needed to stray away from Final Cut Pro it's been a very smooth experience and that's where I do all my video editing super simple even good for beginners now I know a lot of you watching who want to make video are wondering how do I make my videos look better or seem more professional well if you haven't heard of graphic stock it's definitely somewhere you want to start they offer unlimited downloads from a library of over 250,000 graphics and that includes high-res
