I’ve actually not tried the silver, but I would lean toward white because it’s softer and generates plenty of power because of its size. I’m sure the silver is great too. It would be more specular and have a little bit more pop because of the reflective nature.

Fantastic video, appreciate the budget options and the differences between them and the higher cost. For those of us who are getting started with this type of photography it can be a bit overwhelming so this definitely helps.

Hey Matt, another great video as usual. A few questions, you didn’t mention the fog machine in your video but it was listed in the description. Have you tried the portable hand-held smoke machine like the SmokeGENIE? What’s the difference between the haze machine and the smoke machine? How many of the deep-focus reflectors would you recommend? I didn’t see any recommendations for the light stands. Is that another video? Getting all of the equipment to the location can’t be easy. Thanks again.

I have no tried those. Have you? I AM curious about them. The difference is the amount of atmosphere that comes out at a time. Fog machine put a lot out at once and can only go for so long. Haze machines put out the atmosphere more slowly but can stay on. You see haze machines being used in movies a lot because you can see the beams of light from windows or cars or whatever because I’d the texture in the air created by them. They aren’t as noticeable a lot of times, it provide a constant haze to the scene. I would say two deep focus so you can either use them as mirroring edge lights or as cross lights. I am actually coming out with a new video with stand suggestions soon!

Thanks Matt. Right now all I have is the spray can. I haven’t tried the hand held smoke machines yet; although I did shoot with one at a Summit Workshop in NY. Unfortunately, everyone was just learning how to use the machine. I don’t think it was a good test. I’ll have to pick up a second deep focus reflector now. Looking forward to the video on stands.

You are the first person I've seen with the battery grip for the Sony a7rv since the issue of the grip not fitting properly. Question, I've considered buying the camera to upgrade from my a7r3 but where did you buy your battery grip for the a7rv and does it fit properly? Thanks in advance
@MattHernandez

Yes I did and it fits great. I’ve actually not even heard of that issue. I’d say it’s well worth the upgrade.

This is a great overview with the only disclaimer I would add that you don't need Sony or Westcott. There are plenty of fish in the sea where you could pinch a little to get started. However, the two camera bodies, lights, lenses and the modifiers are all spot on. I can't echo this more, than to learn from others that have gone before because you'll often fall into the trap of buying gear you simply don't need. Solid content Matt!

Of course haha. You can get whatever brand you want. Those are just my personal preferences. The main thing here is the functionality of what I was suggesting. Thanks for watching and the kind words. I appreciate it!

Your link to the Manny Ortiz Beauty Dish brings you to Joel Grimes 16" beauty dish instead. Also, which light stands do you use for the FJ400?

Is the A7iv worth buying for sports photography?

If you are recommending the a7cii I would recommend the a7iv. Same sensor with a bigger evf, dual card slots, full size hdmi. It doesn’t have the newest ai autofocus but still great. You can find a lot on the used market. It will also feel better with bigger lenses. I have the a7c and added an a7iv for the listed reasons. I will probably get an a7cii but I need to buy some Fj400’s and some Manny Ortiz beauty dishes first. Thank you for the recommendations @MattHernandez

The Westcott 45 degree long focus reflector comes with two grids. The Glow is about $40 cheaper but doesn’t have the grids. Getting one of each may be the budget solution.
