250
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,500
highest quality stuff possible stuff
that I knew would last as long as I be
251
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:07,750
using it and that's why I'm using really
right stuff tripods I truly believe that
252
00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:13,020
the best built tripods on the market the
other nice thing is once you buy into a
253
00:18:13,020 --> 00:18:18,520
certain system it's all cross compatible
so using these systems in these L plates
254
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,460
I know that any combination of any of
these heads with any of these tripods in
255
00:18:22,460 --> 00:18:26,570
my cameras will always work seamlessly
so whatever I pick up in whatever I
256
00:18:26,570 --> 00:18:30,350
taking the field will always work and
always be reliable
257
00:18:30,350 --> 00:18:34,770
this little tripod is aluminum and this
is aircraft aluminum here so those are
258
00:18:34,770 --> 00:18:39,080
actually the only two aluminum things
that I have everything else that I have
259
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,750
they're all carbon fiber tripods no
carbon fiber tripods are definitely more
260
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:48,770
expensive than aluminum tripod but they
also weather much better so if you're
261
00:18:48,770 --> 00:18:52,330
using it in Sandy environments and
dynamic environments saltwater will
262
00:18:52,330 --> 00:18:55,929
start to corrode the aluminum will start
to destroy it over time where carbon
263
00:18:55,929 --> 00:19:00,530
fiber remains more resilient the other
clear advantage of carbon fiber over
264
00:19:00,530 --> 00:19:05,660
aluminum is investing in carbon fiber is
also investing in a lower weight system
265
00:19:05,660 --> 00:19:10,299
overall so the same tripod in aluminum
would weigh more than this and actually
266
00:19:10,299 --> 00:19:14,799
would be less stable the way carbon
fiber works and this particular we've
267
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:19,000
really right stuff has developed
actually mitigates vibration from the
268
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,110
top-down and bottom-up so by the time
any vibration from the ground it's about
269
00:19:23,110 --> 00:19:29,320
midway up it's completely mitigated the
thing about aluminum aluminum transmits
270
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,770
vibrations if you ever have an aluminum
tripod and you click the shutter and
271
00:19:32,770 --> 00:19:35,660
you're holding onto the tripod you'll
actually feel that shutter click
272
00:19:35,660 --> 00:19:41,330
reverberate through the tripod lake this
actually disperses it over time I'm well
273
00:19:41,330 --> 00:19:45,679
known for bracketing and producing
blends of different exposures put
274
00:19:45,679 --> 00:19:50,000
together so it's really important to me
that I have the most stable system
275
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,910
possible because I know I'm going to
have to blend those frames I don't want
276
00:19:52,910 --> 00:19:53,890
anything to me
277
00:19:53,890 --> 00:19:58,090
move over time that's why use carbon
fiber but that's also why I use ball
278
00:19:58,090 --> 00:20:02,450
heads I feel like they're the quickest
easiest way for me to work because I can
279
00:20:02,450 --> 00:20:08,880
just easily clip a camera in and rotated
around anyway like it and as soon as I
280
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,260
twist this it locks it in to the point
where there's no way that I can move it
281
00:20:13,260 --> 00:20:17,750
at all it's rock solid obviously there
are other tripod solutions besides
282
00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:22,090
boneheads but I just become accustomed
to using overtime I feel it's the
283
00:20:22,090 --> 00:20:26,900
fastest way that I can free my shot and
lock it down with accuracy these tripods
284
00:20:26,900 --> 00:20:30,800
I really right stuff for the best on the
market but they also come with the very
285
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:35,290
high price tag no I do this for a living
I've been a photographer for many years
286
00:20:35,290 --> 00:20:38,010
and I've slowly invested in all of this
287
00:20:38,010 --> 00:20:42,280
over time so don't feel bad if you can't
afford it right out of the gate a small
288
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,610
tripod something portable work well too
289
00:20:45,610 --> 00:20:49,460
no respectable landscape travel
photography kid would be complete with
290
00:20:49,460 --> 00:20:55,370
out a set of filters all the filters I
use a travel with their made by format
291
00:20:55,370 --> 00:20:59,170
high-tech no let me walk you through
some of the filters that I use and how
292
00:20:59,170 --> 00:21:01,380
they use them specifically in the field
293
00:21:01,380 --> 00:21:06,310
remember when I was talking about the
Nikon 14 to 24 versus the 16 to 35 let's
294
00:21:06,310 --> 00:21:11,580
take a look at the filter system for the
14 to 24 now this is made by a company
295
00:21:11,580 --> 00:21:16,340
called Lucroy and it actually uses one
hundred and sixty five millimeter
296
00:21:16,340 --> 00:21:20,670
filters no I do have a couple of these
actually travel with four stops solid
297
00:21:20,670 --> 00:21:24,810
neutral density and a 10 stop selling
your children see now these are really
298
00:21:24,810 --> 00:21:29,170
great they cover this lands without any
glare from any side actually blocks out
299
00:21:29,170 --> 00:21:33,110
all four sides here so no light from
behind can cause any glare on these
300
00:21:33,110 --> 00:21:36,750
filters the disadvantaged though is
their size
301
00:21:36,750 --> 00:21:42,370
look at the difference between 01652 100
the difference is huge so when you're
302
00:21:42,370 --> 00:21:45,710
working in dynamic weather conditions
you might have water spray all over the
303
00:21:45,710 --> 00:21:46,180
place
304
00:21:46,180 --> 00:21:50,820
things are getting on the front of these
resin filters in the larger they are the
305
00:21:50,820 --> 00:21:56,400
more things though track that's water
bugs sand dirt what have you so these
306
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,980
are really great but I'm trying to
transition into just using these hundred
307
00:21:59,980 --> 00:22:04,970
millimeter filters because they work
with all of my lenses except for the 14
308
00:22:04,970 --> 00:22:07,049
to 24 so let's talk specifically
309
00:22:07,049 --> 00:22:12,110
typically about the one hundred
millimeter square filter solution again
310
00:22:12,110 --> 00:22:16,330
these are made by format high-tech and
they make two different types one is a
311
00:22:16,330 --> 00:22:20,379
resident so it's more of a plastic light
material and one is called Firecrest
312
00:22:20,379 --> 00:22:24,549
which is glass it's a little bit more
heavy this has been recently created by
313
00:22:24,549 --> 00:22:29,330
format high-tech and it's phenomenal so
right now I use a combination of both
314
00:22:29,330 --> 00:22:33,210
now these square filters are really
great because they work with every one
315
00:22:33,210 --> 00:22:38,119
of my cameras again except for the 14 to
24 and let me show you how that works
316
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,590
the reason they work with all the
cameras is they work with this filter
317
00:22:41,590 --> 00:22:45,980
holder and this filter holder attaches
to each one of my cameras using a
318
00:22:45,980 --> 00:22:49,869
different millimeter filter ring and I
have three of them right here have a
319
00:22:49,869 --> 00:22:56,989
seventy 70 58 and a 7277 is the most
common that works with my 16 to 35 Nikon
320
00:22:56,989 --> 00:23:03,230
my 24 to 72 72 works with my 10 to 24 on
the Fujifilm they're really easy to use
321
00:23:03,230 --> 00:23:07,259
you basically just threaded up really
carefully and you can screw them right
322
00:23:07,259 --> 00:23:11,289
on to the camera you just have to be
really careful when you do this you
323
00:23:11,289 --> 00:23:14,509
don't want to accidentally crossed the
Red anything so make sure that it fits
324
00:23:14,509 --> 00:23:17,919
not just like screwing on any other
filter filter adapter rings gonna be
325
00:23:17,919 --> 00:23:21,609
exactly the same once you screw the
adapter ring on the filter holder will
326
00:23:21,609 --> 00:23:25,629
just slide over the front and then
there's a locking screw on just locks it
327
00:23:25,629 --> 00:23:29,309
in tight and again it can be rotated
with filters just by listening that pin
328
00:23:29,309 --> 00:23:34,159
and closing it down again once the
filter holders in place any of these
