Do any of you use Nikon D810's for video? I'm upgrading my cameras in the next couple of months, and I think I'm going to dip my toe into video by shooting a bit of video for promos and 30 second clips on youtube or whatever.

I think I'm leaning towards the d750, it's basically perfect for what I need from a still/video camera. That looks like solid footage. I'm working on building up a cage system with an arm for a monitor, top handle, LED panel, and handheld grips, with the option to expand to a shoulder mounted rail system.

I'm also tempted to lose my mind and go blackmagic CC 2.5k because I hate money :homebrew:

What's a good free/cheap editing system?

Oh I forgot Resolve 12 added NLE features!

I'm not sure if any of that's neutered in the free version, but definitely worth a look.

I will say that Resolve, for as awesome as it is, has a bit of a steep learning curve for the interface. (or at least 11 did for me)...but it's pretty drat powerful.

I looked at resolve, looks like a similar interface to Capture One, so I'm in. Maybe I can find one of those dongles for cheap on ebay.

For lenses, I'm going to probably use the 24-70 I already have, but if I need to do photo/video double duty, should I track down a 35/2D and a 50/1.8D for video? I feel like those are solid primes for photo so they should be OK for video too, right?

Alright I bit the bullet and have a pretty solid setup now. All i need now is something to point the camera at :v:

D750 on a smallrig with a ninja monitor, and I just picked up a phantom 4. With 1k and 4k video as sources, will it look weird in editing? I'm mainly just going to be editing for youtube, I think.

Does anyone have recommendations for like how-to videos on making documentaries or web series on a single camera & low budget? I want to do a kind of day-in-the-life thing for athletes in a niche sport for which I shoot photos.
