alright guys time to fess up who has shot iPhone footage for use in a professional project raise your hands or at least comment down below I know that

I have in actually turned out just fine in fact in some cases the iPhone 11 pros footage could look better than your cameras before you guys destroying them

in the comments take a second and hear me out on my perspective my opinions of the iPhone 11 Pro coming from a filmmaking background I think you guys are

gonna be impressed Apple has been pushing the boundaries of smartphone cameras ever since they started with impressive upgrades year over a year other companies like Google and Samsung have been

catching up and even beating them some areas with photos but nobody has gotten as close to the iPhone in terms of video and with the 11pro this maybe

the biggest upgrade yet now I hate the term game-changer but I think in this scenario it actually kind of fits in terms of shooting video on the phone

I think that this is the biggest upgrade yet and if you’re somebody that shoots video with your iPhone you should upgrade at the launch event it seemed like

the biggest focus was on the cameras and not just for photos where they usually spend the majority of the time but the video section was much longer than it

ever has been before I was seriously shocked that they just kept going and going and it makes sense because some of the features were truly impressive Apple definitely

wasn’t shy about this and called it the highest quality video in a smartphone typically they just say you know the highest quality in the iPhone or the most

powerful iPhone but this time around they were confident let’s start with the triple-lens camera this in and of itself isn’t shocking as many smartphones now have that

but what’s impressive is how they focused on matching up the image you get from each sensor and lens combination in the past when you switch lenses when

filming it was kind of jarring you would see this kind of weird motion kind of glitchiness you would get exposure and color shift but now you can zoom

between all three lenses smoothly and it looks like you have a quality zoom lens the focal length double each smart time but the phone also takes data

from that lens that you’re recording with and primes the other lenses both for a focus exposure and also like things like white balance and that gives you that very

smooth transition the zoom lens is now an F 2.0 aperture and that paired with the new sensor will improve the telephoto low-light performance were in the past it

used to be quite bad so much so that I would avoid using that lens all together in low-light scenarios but now at the 11pro you’ll be able to use

it Apple showed off a very cool low-light noir style film with really awesome looking grading and I was impressed but I’ve been impressed by Apple’s example footage before

and I always took it with a grain of salt because usually, they have a huge crew of people they have tens of thousands of dollars of support gear

and then very heavy post-production to get it to look this good but that was only until Phil Schiller said this that was not always shot but also edited entirely

an iPhone 11 Pro, okay that is pretty impressive not only shot on the iPhone but also edited and the software controls that they showed off on stage look really

nice at this time with iOS 12 I have almost nothing built-in for a video which is very frustrating so being able to have that fine control with that good interface

will be great for quick edits now before I tell you about two more hardware and software features that blew my mind let me tell you about a shockingly

iPhones have always had impressive stabilization but the iPhone 11 takes it to a whole nother level just like with the new our film when I watch this car scene

shout the standard iPhone 11 three things stood out to be the first was how dang sharp the details look without looking over-sharpened either it is great

post-production or maybe the lenses and the new iPhone have gotten a good improvement the second was the stabilization I first certain thought that these shots were using a nice

proper gimbal but at the end, Cayenne said this all the shots including the ones overhead or handheld once again wow that is impressive that’s a plus in the note

10 both have a feature called super steady which works great but the quality goes down dramatically and it only shoots at 1080p Apple is calling there is cinematic video

stabilization and you could still use it in 4k and as you can see in the car video the quality looks really good right next to that they showed off

an extended dynamic range which isn’t the first time that we’re seeing this last year with iPhone 10s the out of this feature which allows the phone to shoot double

the frame rate at two different exposures and then blend both of them to greatly improve the dynamic range in the video this was only possible at up to 4k

30 frames per second so on 4k 60 the dynamic range was reduced but with the iPhone 11 pro this is now possible up to 4k 60

and now not only does the main lens have this but every other one including the front-facing camera which can also shoot at 4k 60 with extended dynamic range and

also at 1080p 120 frames per second as you guys can tell Apple is very serious about video and I’m not sure how they are pulling this off but

the dynamic range in the car shot looked fantastic and that is the third thing that stood out to me maybe they are shooting at 4k 120 and

then blending back together to 4k 60 but that just sounds crazy they also had one feature that wasn’t talked about what was just shown on screen and that

is the zoom mic feature now Samsung also added this to the note 10 this year so maybe that’s why they didn’t bring it up but this should help isolate

the sound to one single microphone especially when you zoom in instead of blending multiple microphones with a stereo sound and if you guys saw the rear my grill is

much larger than we had before iPhones have always had surprisingly good microphones with goods denoising and win removal quite a bit better than many built-in cameras but this time

it will be even better the last thing I want to mention is the new film Pro app that is going to be coming out they brought out Sean Baker

and he showed off a shoe where they were using this new app and doing Multicam recordings you could see all four camera angles on the screen and then select

two of them to record at the same time this is possible because of that new powerful CPU and I have to say this is very impressive I have

to be honest and say that I don’t know how often that will need to use this or if even if I will ever use it but I

do have a bunch of cameras more than a need but for those people who need to document such as vloggers or maybe reporters or other people like that who

can use the feature of recording both you know the rear camera and the front-facing camera at the same time this will be handy we also have some things

like a brighter flash and this nice little quick take feature that’s mostly for just regular people

I’d use many sliders throughout my career as a filmmaker ranging from cheapo ones that were quite terrible but got me started up to systems that cost over $2,000 but

had fewer features than my new system weren’t as smooth and honestly were quite mediocre but today I’m going to show you why the edelkrone slider plus paired with our

newest slide module in the head one system is the best slider I’ve ever used I currently own three sliders and I have owned an edelkrone in the past and

I’ve also used multiple of the previous versions before extensively on various shoots and I’ve always been very intrigued with them not only with the capabilities but also because of

how innovative of a company edelkrone is they continued to keep thinking of new awesome ideas and products for as filmmakers things that we’ve never even asked for or thought

about but they come in very useful when you try them there’s a ton to talk about but today I’m gonna focus on their updated slider I like

the capabilities of their previous motorized systems but there are a few things that I didn’t love so when edelkrone reached out to me and wanted to partner with me

and send out their latest system for me to test out and make a video on I was intrigued now they didn’t tell me what kind of video to make

the length what to say what to title it anything like that so everything said is my own opinions and as you can probably tell it exceeded my expectations

the base of the system is the slider Plus which you’re most likely familiar with the latest version has some upgrades that I really like I have the long version

but in all reality, it’s not that long and it’s shorter than my previous compact version of a slider and that’s even with the motorized module attached and thanks

to its extended slide design, I have more range now than I did before when it’s on a tripod and also dolly shots since a slider doesn’t get in

the way when it’s not on the tripod your range is limited to the length of the slider and I use the built-in foldable feet that I personally like you

do need to tighten them from time to time but that’s a trade-off I’d gladly take to be able to fold them and adjust them quickly without having to use

thumbscrews that have little teeth or notches or Allen wrenches my favorite upgraded part of the slider itself is the magnetic slip and belt this is a point of

frustration with my other sliders having to pull the belt tighter than needed and then clamp it down realizing you overdid it and it’s too tight or it’s just too

loose with our new belts you can swap from regular to the motorized belt in just seconds which is great for fast swapping out in the field the slider by

itself works great but it gets even better when you add that slide module takes you from smooth manual slides to be able to do ultra-smooth repeatable slides time

lapses Lucifer things like interviews or cloning and more everything is controlled through a smartphone app which is one of the reasons why I think this is the best slider

ever my previous system had a dedicated controller that needed to be wired and connected that way had a built-in battery that you couldn’t replace and the whole thing busted

on me and had to buy a new one having a controller app that could be updated with new features for longevity as a much better solution but I’ll talk

about that more in just a bit where things get interesting is when you start to expand the system which is another reason why I think this is the best

slider system an old crone has a host of accessories they can use and even stack together that works seamlessly adding a single head one module will give you pan

control like I have with my other system but adding two of them gives me something I didn’t have which is tilt functionality and this can take your shots

to another level, each of these systems uses a single cannon style battery instead of having to charge the system which is more convenient especially for long shoots where you

don’t want to or can’t plugin they’re simple to operate pop in one battery and you’ll hear

a little chime telling you that it’s on now one downside is that you need to remember to remove the battery after you shoot or also will stay on and

slowly drain one thing I noticed right away is how quiet they are even at full speed they’re quieter than my previous system running at a low speed so

shooting interviews in a quiet environment won’t be an issue now what impressed me the most is how simple it is for all of these wireless kits to sync up

you just open their newly updated app you hit smart pairing and just within a few seconds all of these separate components wirelessly paired together no cables no manual

syncing just the great design you can even plug your cable for camera control into either module allowing you to keep your cable around short and out of the way

which is another reason why I like the system it’s these kinds of little things that end up adding up together to make a powerful and pleasant to

use system they can enjoy using instead of having to battle it now let’s move on to the app at the top we have our battery levels and also depending

on what parts you have connected that changes what will show up in the app which is another plus of having an app and not a fixed system the whole

the app is very intuitive at the top left we have our pan and tilt controls and the right side we have our slide if you have a module for focus

and that will be in the center you can control both the pan until at the same time or you could tap on one of the icons to turn that

one-off to make sure you don’t accidentally change it in the center you can program many positions and what’s cool is that you can take a photo

of each one which helps you remember what you’re tapping on next is just a tap on the one you want and the system will automatically go and

adjust to the exact settings that you preset if you want to adjust the speeds or the ease that could be done with the sliders at the bottom want to

set up a loop no problem just press on both of them at the same time and you are set and it’ll even tell you how long will it take

to go from one to the other if you want to go between many positions you could use the sequencer, of course, we also have the time-lapse mode which can

control your camera and even a stop motion option if you have the laser module you’ll also see an option for that now there are some downsides to having an

the app which is things like maybe having bugs which I didn’t experience with this version of the software and you also need to reconnect to the components if you

walk away or if you closed the app but don’t worry if you set up a time-lapse or loop anything like that that will keep running of course you

have to have your phone with you and make sure that your phone is charged but overall most of this is painless and also quick so as I said to me

would much rather have it this way than have something limited and tethering with a cable require me to be right next to a slider to control it in

my line of work a slider is really indispensable and even though so many people are focusing on other stabilization tools I feel like a slider can add a lot

to your production especially if you have a few motorized modules you can creatively manipulate but even if you just have a baseliner that nice and steady smooth parallax

movement looks really good and very clean the last few reasons I want to talk about why this is the best slider system I’ve ever used is durability and

expandability you can start with just one slider and slowly build up your system and expand its capabilities which is great and for durability, this thing is really solid

and not just a slider but every piece that I am using from the different tools that they give you to the mounting kit to the belt quality it’s top-notch

my system ended up taking a small fall and I was worried but everything worked perfectly afterward now I don’t recommend dropping it or anything like that but I have

had a few parts on other sliders bend or break with similar Falls so so far this system has been solid that’s probably thanks to most of it being made

from metal and because of the squash design without exposed moving parts so because of that it should be very durable long-term all right guys so that is it this

is my newest slider thanks to El Crone their old design was good but this new one is so much better and it tops every other slider system that I

have used and owned some of which cost even more money so I’ll be letting go of my other sliders and from now on I’m going to have this more

capable less frustrating smoother experience at Wilco system for my slider shots if you guys want to check out the slider and the other components

hey, guys, it’s maxing today we’re gonna be taking a look at the brand-new ceremony it blinks 500 wireless system and comparing it to the super popular road Wireless go

this is sponsored by Squarespace an all-in-one platform that makes it easy to make an amazing website let’s start with the biggest difference and a selling point that’s going

to get a lot of people to move over or to buy the Sara Manik instead of the road system and that is the fact that you get two

transmitters in the Box the kit that I have at least we’ll talk about prices in just a bit and one receiver now when I made the videos on the

roads which I still absolutely love that was probably the biggest question that I got can you pair up two transmitters with one receiver and no you cannot do that

so that is what sarimanok decided to focus on adding that feature now in the box they also give you a lot of other value ads so not only do

we have two charging cables USB type-c we also get two cables to connect the receiver to your camera or the other one is to connect it to your smart

phone or any other device like that so right out of the box you can do that you can plug it in now they also have another kit that gives

you the ability to plug into the smartphones directly with the road we just have one cable you can buy additional cables of course for an extra fee now another

the thing that you have to buy with the road are lavalier microphones which you do not need to do with the Sarah Manik bling 500 kits so two of these

are included in the box and that can save you some serious money and if you factor in the extra cost of buying level your microphones for the wireless go

here I have the smart lav with this adapter to get it to work the prices turned out to be about the same or even less expensive with the bling

500 even though you get two transmitters now rode did come out with a specific mic for the wireless go that cost $80 for one of them and with the

Sarah Manik we don’t have to deal with that but of course, we’re gonna test out the quality of these mics in just a little bit now another difference is

the size and the weight so if we take a look at both these transmitters you will notice a pretty substantial difference in the size now the bling 500 is

still super small compared to your average system it’s lightweight that actually might be slightly lighter than the let’s go but it is a little bit thicker it is a

a bit longer and wider as well and then the clip is also quite a bit larger now we still plug it in the same way as we do with the

wireless go so let me grab this Sony and bam it’s on top like that but since this kit is smaller when you put it up to your eye it

just barely touches whereas if we grab the Santa Monica one as you guys can see it sticks out more so so it does touch my eye more and then

another thing that I noticed is it pushes a little bit on this little eye Cup so if you don’t push it in any kind of

lift it a little bit it can trip that sensor so that will depend of course on your camera and I was able to kind of push this up

and get it to work just fine now another huge difference between these two systems we do not have any LCD to see I love the fact that the wireless

go has this capability where I can easily add a glance take a look at it I can see my battery life I can see if I’m paired properly the

Sarah Monica you don’t have that we do have a little LED light there are multiple LEDs in there to let you know about battery life if you’re connected the gain

that you have on these transmitters but you don’t have that convenience which I like to have now one thing that I like about the ceremony kids

is the fact that the gain it’s more adjustable instead of having three levels from what I could see we have five levels the little indicators don’t change every time

you click on it but you have more adjustability and that little gain which is on the side here it is on the transmitters meaning you need to make sure

it is set properly beforehand on the wireless go we have a little gain knob right over here this DB and that means

if I’m recording and I see that a little bit too hot I can press on it and I can lower it or raise it if it’s not loud enough

where these guys you cannot adjust the afterward and you also need to make sure they’re perfectly set because when you have two transmitters going into one receiver the audio

is blended now that’s a good thing if you want to shoot run-and-gun you don’t have the time to post-process and adjust levels and blend them but

it is the downside if you want to have the option now before we go ahead and test out the most important part which is the audio quality both of

the built-in microphones and lavalier mics plugged in I got to give a big shout-out to our sponsor Squarespace over the years I have made a ton of websites I

have made them from scratch I’ve made them from templates I’ve even made them using multiple platforms Squarespace is by far my most recommended method not only is it incredibly

easy to make a great linking website but you also don’t have to worry about fixing problems and upkeep or paying somebody else to do it it just works and

works well so you can focus on what you love doing whether you need a portfolio site blog eCommerce or anything else Squarespace has got you covered with great cross-platform

designs to choose from and built-in SEO and security tools which make it an amazing value head to Squarespace comm / Macs Guryev for a trial with no credit

card required and if you sign up you’ll get 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain both these systems have batteries built in that you cannot replace

which is a downside but I think for a system this small it’s kind of expected but you can’t charge both of these while you are using them so

they have USB type-c so you can plug in a power bank and kind of not have to worry about it but I think in this price bracket the people

are gonna be using them five six seven hours is enough for most people the technology and these systems are quite similar both them used Wi-Fi 2.4 gigahertz that means

you can use them pretty much anywhere you don’t have to worry about laws of different frequencies and stuff like that now we also have a difference in how many

kits you can connect as I mentioned we have 8 sets here or 18 sets now I don’t know when you’ll have 18 sets but I guess if you have

a bunch of cameras or a bunch of cell phones because these can plug into a cell phone to record into that maybe that would be handy so now let’s

go ahead and plug this here plug this in and attach this to me like you guys can see this is much larger let’s set this one up over here

and I’m gonna grab this camera and we’re gonna do a little built-in mic test first this is a microphone quality test with a Sarah monic blink 500 internal microphone

this is a microphone quality test with the rode wireless goes built-in microphone this is a microphone quality test with a Sarah monic blink 500 internal microphone this is a

microphone quality tests with the rode wireless go built-in mic phone okay so let me know which one of these sounded better down in the comments section I will say

that I did have to turn the gain up higher on the Sierra Manik even though it was maxed out right around the six or seven-point and then I

of course, will kick that up a bit in the post because we don’t want to clip out whereas with their rode wireless go I had to set that to negative

six decibels in the actual unit itself and set the camera down to one or two just to make sure that we have enough Headroom and don’t clip now let’s

compare the lavalier microphone with a row do you have to buy separately and with the Sara Manik it is included in the box this is a lav mic quality

test with the road wireless go this is a lavalier quality comparison with the lab that is included free with the blink 500 this is a lav mic quality test

with the road, Wireless go this is a lavalier quality comparison with the lab that is included free with the blink 500 now what I notice with the blink 500

the system is once you plug in a microphone and that is the lab that’s included in the box the signal seems to be loud

I’m guessing it’s just the microphone is more sensitive it’s picking up my voice better and when this is the maxed-out I also have to set the actual

in-camera settings down to one the lowest I can go so that means you should get a cleaner hotter signal if you’re using a lav mic compared to

the built-in mic whereas with a real kit the built-in mic is the same quality as of the kit you know that’s a good quality mic externally so that is

something to keep in mind and of course we have a lot of room for adjustments with this transmitter now it is time to head outside and see how these

guys do as far as range and if they will cut out alright guys we are outside now doing our range test I am about 30 feet away from 2

separate cameras I have both the Sarah Manik on my left and then the rode on my right here where the belt packs are now I’m gonna start walking

backward and we’re gonna see at what point does it cut out, of course, I’m not gonna know until later so I’m gonna keep walking and we’ll see how far

each one of these can do and I’ll kind of give you guys my distances and then after the fact I’m gonna walk backward and keep walking closer then we’ll

see how art start picking and that’s a good test of something or your subject turning around that kind of stuff so at this point I am at

least 50 feet away here I’m probably roughly about a hundred feet right now so you guys can hear if either one of these is working or not now I’m

gonna flip around really quick and we’re gonna see if one of them and now I don’t know what am I got like maybe close to 200 feet already at

least at least 180 or so I’ll try it Oh we’ll see if one of these can still handle this kind of a distance it is surely far alright guys

so there you guys have it you guys saw that for yourself so you guys heard it for yourselves and me actually when I synced up all of the clips

so first off the built-in mics, the road sounds better not by a super large amount but it’s noticeable now the other thing that surprised me is

how good the included lavalier microphones with the blink system are for labs that are practically free at this price point you’re paying for it but it’s such a good

the value they sound really good now inside here at this location there’s a little more bass than I heard from these labs whereas the smart laughs plus star sounded a

little bit cleaner a little bit crisper maybe four voices but when we stepped outside even though I wasn’t trying to do a sound comparison there I was just

shocked by how close they sounded now as far as the range you guys saw that the road smoked the blink system the blink is reliable and good up

to about 50 feet now personally for me that is good enough for most work and that I don’t even use the road further than that anyways usually it’s a

wrap out maybe 30 to 40 after that I use a higher-end system but with that said the results speak for themselves the road can get reliably up

to about a hundred and eighty or maybe I’d say about 150 if you want to make sure there’s no chance of it cutting out but that is if you

are not blocking it if you’re kind of direct line-of-sight I mean I had to jack it over but that’s about it whereas the blink is about 50 so the

the road system is 200 bucks which aren’t already an amazing value that is without a lavalier microphone of course 80 bucks for a lab that they released for this I’ll

have a linked in the videos whereas Sara Manik system 250 with two transmitters and two lavalier microphones when you put that price into perspective with two transmitters for somebody

getting started doing controlled work I mean that is just an incredible value it’s not a better system than the road but as far as value especially if you need

two transmitters man that is amazing now, of course, you can just buy it for about 180 for just one system like the road and that does include a lavalier

microphone so you’re comparing 180 bucks with this guy compared to 280 if you buy the laughs for it so thank you guys for watching let me know your

thoughts down in the comment section below once again a big shout out to Squarespace for continuing to sponsor this channel that makes a huge difference

this is brought to you by Squarespace just recently I made a video on Sennheiser’s new wireless kit and in that video super pumped and excited because this new kit

I thought it’s gonna be selling very well I love the fact that it’s so small and compact and it’s easy to use even for people who are just getting

into filmmaking but today, I got a package in the mail from rode with their new wireless go kit and I think that this is gonna kill Sennheiser’s kids let’s

go ahead and open this sucker up and take a closer look before I compare the features and specs and before I give you guys my opinion let’s take a

look at what’s included in the boxes with the Sennheiser’s kit we have a USB to USB type-c cable for charging and then we have the two units themselves a

little holder for the transmitter and then another one that goes on to your cold shoe to hold the receiver to your camera and then of course with that kit

we do have an included lavalier microphone that’s worth about a hundred and thirty bucks if you’re paying retail now with the rode wireless go, kids, we get a lot

more accessories first off we get a little pouch that’s gonna hold everything inside that’s nice we don’t get just one cable to charge we get two of them so

you can charge both at the same time we get the cable that you’re gonna connect to your camera and along with that we get these two little wind muffs

their little windscreens why are we getting these and you’re not seeing any microphone is sitting around here that’s because the road has a built-in microphone on this

unit right here it doesn’t come with a laugh mic but it does have a microphone built into it and these little wind muffs just attach like that before

I continue comparing them I have to mention the prices the Sennheiser comes in at 350 bucks at which that’s not a bad price but the rode wireless go

comes in on a hundred and ninety-nine dollars and that’s surprising I think they honestly could have got away with 250 even 300 dollars but they didn’t they priced

it well by the way both of these are available right now including the rode wireless go I’ll leave a link in the video description if you guys want

to go and check it out now even though this microphone and here is built-in we don’t have an external one you can still plug one in and I think

because of that, the price a little bit lower but you still get an extra feature that you can never get with a Sennheiser kit if you’re out on the

shoot your lav mic dies where you have to switch quickly you don’t want a wire, Lenny, my phones through you can just clip it to a Sheraton this

is probably not the best shirt to do it we’ll try it out like that and yes it’s kind of noticeable but I can already shoot just like this and

if somebody has a button-up shirt that’s even better because you can just clip it on like this and then you can get great audio with a really

a quick set of time that’s great for running and gunning now if you don’t want to use it that way you can use any microphone and ride is kind

of suggesting they’re smart laughs plus which comes in at roughly 70 bucks and you have this little adapter if you wanted to go into stereo so you’re looking at

about an $85 price so about two hundred eighty-five dollars total compared to 350 so that’s still an excellent value and we will be doing a microphone comparison towards

the end of this video let’s compare the size when I saw the XS W Wireless I loved how small it was but taking a look at this thing

it almost feels like a toy I don’t you can see how thin that is this is unbelievable that it could be this small if you look at these two

side-by-side over here just the profile is small but then if you look at the thickness you basically won’t even notice this inside of your pocket or on a belt

it’s so small it’s so lightweight this is great this is amazing if you shoot weddings and you’re gonna you know clip this into a groom’s or an officiant jacket

pocket they literally won’t notice this here we have this little mount to connect to your camera so you can pop it into a cold shoe and that’s not bad

this is a nice compact solution but what road did is very clever the little clip here on the back is a cold shoe mount so you just

pop it open and it slides right into the cold shoe it’s has a good amount of friction it’s not gonna go anywhere and look how small and compact

this is we have our controls over here we have our little display over there so yes it does have a display and it is so small and it’s also

very lightweight so if you have a gimbal this thing is not gonna change the balance whatsoever

to build a portfolio site e-commerce blog or anything else they’ve got you covered they have an easy-to-use website builder and great templates with automatic versions for mobile devices follow

the link in the description to start your free trial with no credit card required and then you can get 10% off your first purchase both of these use the

2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi frequency along with that they have Wi-Fi a frequency hopping so if it senses any interference will switch over and prevent that which is awesome this

guy goes for about 230 feet and the Sennheiser goes for about 250 and that’s the maximum kind of line of sight but they’re both designed for kind of close

range and to avoid interference with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stuff like that you can have a bunch of these at the same time the Sennheiser you could do five

kits whereas their Wireless go kit you can do eight of these in one location which is nice and one thing that I like about the Sennheiser is

is that they have these little locking connections so once you plug in your mic you screw it on nobody’s gonna be able to unplug this accidentally that keeps you

kind of safe on the other hand the roads are so tiny that I don’t think they had room or they didn’t want to add the extra weight so you

have a little bit more risk they’re both the Sennheiser is I love having the display and even on the actual transmitter so smog can kind of lose it we

have two LED lights were showing that you have good power and then the other one showing that it’s connected whereas here everything is with one little LED which does

get quite annoying so now finally let’s compare the audio I have my Sun highs excess wireless kit connected to my trusted a 6400 I just set the preamp down

to one because of how hot the signal is coming out of here let’s test it out this is an audio quality test with a Sennheiser x SW wireless mic

check mic check this is an audio quality test whoa that is a hot signal the XS Wireless has a hot signal but this set to zero decibels I’m

at one and I’m like hitting the limits just talking normally now that would suck if we didn’t have a little decibel adjustment so let me go to right here

so we’re at negative six perfect now we look like we’re matching up to this guy and then we can also go even lower negative twelve that’s awesome so if

you have a camera like the Blackmagic where you need to crank up the gain this will provide a higher signal than this guy so lets the go-ahead

and test out this guy right here and then I’ll also plug in the road smart laughs and I’ll connect all three side-by-side so you guys can tell me the

differences this is an audio quality test with a Sennheiser x SW wireless this is a microphone quality test of the road Wireless go this is a microphone quality test

of the road, Wireless go with the smart lab so go ahead and let me know down in the comments section below which one you think sounds the best keep in

mind that you can use any lav mic with this transmitter right here so this setup is about $80 if you’re trying to stay on a budget I’ll link

in the video description a twenty-five dollar lav mic that sounds good for the money I keep some on hand kind of as backups but if you

where to go and grab this lab mic which is about 130 bucks plug it in it should sound about the same alright so what are my thoughts and

opinions now before this product was the analysis I was quite happy with the Sennheiser’s other than not being able to adjust the output gain but now that the rode wireless

goat is out I think they stole Sennheiser’s thunder and me kind of regret buying this kit right here not only do we have a smaller size better battery

life a display on the receiver so you can see what’s going on you can also adjust the output and if you have it at zero decibels the output is

louder which is great for some cameras it doesn’t come with a wired lav mic but I’m glad about that be because they were able to price it lower

at $200 that means you can choose whatever mic you have or use the one that you already have and because of that it also has a built-in mic and

that just gives you so much convenience to be able to clip it on if you’re running gun shooting you don’t have enough time to wire a microphone if you’re

putting in a certain situation where it works better this way for example and at a wedding sometimes we have live music and they have little stands for their notes and

in that case, I would have a little transmitter I’d have my lav mic and have to try to find a place to clip it with this I would just

put on my little windscreen to help against the wind pop it on here and then just use the built-in clip to clip it on there and that gives you

a nice secure connection and you don’t have to deal with any wires anywhere that are awesome it’s super small super lightweight and overall I just think that rode made

a killer product I think these will sell very well and even though they did send me out this kit

this is sponsored by story blocks hey guys it’s max today we’re gonna be taking a look at the new 16 inch MacBook Pro this has the best CPU and

the best graphics comparing it to the previous top spec 15.4 inch macbook pro in regards to video editing with Premiere Pro DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro and looking

at a wide variety of codecs now this new MacBook Pro has new AMD 7 nanometre graphics that are not only more energy efficient and put out less heat but

they’re more powerful as well now the CPUs should run faster because Apple upgraded the cooling and when we look at the performance starting off with Geekbench 5 yes we

do have some improvements but it’s not massive and then if we take a look at pushing all the course to the max with Cinebench r20 once again we do

see some improvement but it’s not very big you won’t really notice that difference other than maybe just a few different tests now I’m most excited for the new graphics

card not only is it more powerful as you guys can see in this metal test in Geekbench 5 but it also has double the video memory if you get

the best graphics card and for some cases like blender if you’re gonna be rendering with the graphics card then we saw a massive difference because the 4 gigs of

memory was really limiting the Vega 20 not only that but this graphics card is a lot less expensive than the Vega 20 the Vega 20 was a 450 dollar

upgrade from the base graphics where this one is a $200 upgrade and you can now get it with the 6 core processor instead of being forced to get the

a core processor let’s start out taking a look at to Bruce X here we see a substantial improvement of graphics power now this test just uses the graphics to

render a bunch of animations and effects and we’re seeing some huge improvements and I think a lot of this is because of that extra video memory and in fact

this test actually beat out the iMac pro now I do have a video coming out on that so make sure you guys were subscribed this gave me a lot

of hope when I first started out doing the tests then I jumped in to check out the black magic of raw playback test and this new graphics card actually

performed exactly the same being able to playback eight K Rolla at 55 frames per second just like the Vega 20 and then the actual CPUs I expected about the

same performance based on other benchmarks but for some reason the CPU does playback Blackmagic Raw better or at least decode it better now let’s get into stabilizing a 20

second 4k clip I love super smooth shots so I use this quite a bit and in all the tests the results are basically the same between the two machines

of course premiere takes much longer because warp stabiliser still is not using the graphics before I move on let me tell you about a super helpful video editing tool

our sponsors story blocks have you ever been working on a video project and you’re just missing that extra b-roll clip whether it’s a drone shot time-lapse or something else

to top off your videos well story blocks is over 325,000 HD and 4k video clips to help you out along with After Effects templates and motion backgrounds and you

could download as many as your heart desires new clips are regularly added in there all royalty-free so you can use them for both personal and commercial projects go to

story blocks comm slash max to learn more and the next time you’re in a bind or just editing and you feel like your project can use that little extra

something you’ll have access to a huge stock library at a fraction of the cost take your video to the next level with story blocks now let’s get into actual

video editing and before I go into the numbers I want to say that all three of these programs were just updated final cut now uses a new metal based

engine so the graphics card is doing a lot more of the work DaVinci Resolve has gotten faster and same thing with Premiere Pro we have the new 2020 version

I wish as you guys will see it’s very close now in some of these tests now looking at the actual results here we’re not getting really much faster speeds

with the new MacBook Pro at all that was very interesting to me

and once I started looking at the actual GPU usage and the video usage and what is happening when you’re rendering and playing back Final Cut DaVinci Resolve playback perfectly

Premiere Pro has gotten a lot better now in the timeline if we’re playing back at full resolution the old MacBook Pro can’t actually play at 30fps it plays at

about 2425 once we get into it whereas the new one does playback at 30 but is just right there so pretty much I’ll max out on the graphics so

yes the new MacBook Pro is faster but that’s if you’re playing back a full resolution which you only really need to do if you’re hooked up to an external

monitor with your different your viewer setup that way on a laptop you might as well set it to half and in that case they play back exactly the same

so here even though we have better graphics we’re in the land of diminishing returns really the CPUs are more than fast enough and here they’re not even being utilized

to half because graphics is utilized much more now one thing that I noticed is the new MacBook Pro is actually louder in terms of fan noise it is about

one decibel louder the actual sound is a lower tone but it still is more annoying to me personally that’s if you’re only pushing the machine to its limits like

when you’re rendering or working with some really crazy stuff if you’re working with some regular files in Final Cut it actually a little bit quieter because it doesn’t put

out as much heat doing the same tasks but if you do a lot of rendering or transcoding be aware that you might get a louder experience with the new

MacBook Pro now one thing that I talked about after the 16 inch Mac Pro was announced is that the new graphics cards have an updated encoding engine which allows

you to encode HDR h EVC footage at up to 4k 90 frames per second in 10 bit if you guys have followed along this has been the main huge

pain point for video editors that want to upload HDR footage a five-minute timeline takes forever as you guys can see by these charts we realistically should be able to

render this five-minute project in about maybe 2 minutes or so so once these programs start utilizing the new graphics and that encoder instead of using just the CPU we’re

gonna have a huge improvement because the fate of 20 will not be able to do that and in that case you HD our editors are gonna be so happy

working with this new graphics card now let’s take a look at raw footage from the canon c 200 and soon the C 500 mark 2 and this is the

first time where I see a pretty dramatic improvement in final cut keep in mind this is a 5-minute project if you’re working in longer projects we’ll see a better

improvement now as far as the actual playback Final Cut has had a pretty big improvement since the last update so now it actually plays back at about 50 frames

between 50 and 60 DaVinci Resolve you can play back this footage at full resolution at 30 frames per second and in Premiere Pro like always they’re using more of

the CPU and it only plays back at 11 frames per second and then if you go down to half you could play back at 34 with old backup Pro

and 40 with the new macro Crowell with the better graphics and taking a look at Roth footage from the red here we actually don’t see much difference either yes

and Premiere Pro into Richards all of a slightly faster in Final Cut it’s actually slightly slower I really don’t know why but as far as comparing these two machines

we’re not seeing that much of a difference it could be because of drivers but I don’t think they’re gonna be able to make that much room to see a

dramatic result here so overall I was slightly disappointed I was hoping we see a bigger difference I kind of thought that with regular 4k footage and HR 265 it’s

gonna be similar because you know they really don’t have issues with it at all but even in the heavier stuff it seemed like we didn’t get that much of

a performance difference with the new graphics and the upper day updated cooling here now on the flip side if you have a MacBook Pro with thousand expensive Vega 20

graphics meaning you might have a six core with a 5 5 5 X or 560 X we are gonna see a massive improvement with a MacBook Pro that has

a 6 core and even if you get the base graphics they are almost as good as these 5500 M graphics so for those of you guys that had a

cheaper Mac and now you want to upgrade you’re gonna save money on the new one and the performance is gonna be drastically better so if you held off and

you didn’t buy one now is a really great time to buy and I also ordered in a 2015 MacBook Pro I know some of you guys stuck with that

because you know you guys like the port’s that are in there it did the job you didn’t like the new ones and then they had keyboard issues and stuff

like that so a lot of you guys are thinking about now finally updating so I’m gonna be doing a video where I’m gonna compare the difference between not just

you know six months little difference in time where we’re not seeing that much gain
