Best Camera and Video Equipment for Beginner Film Makers

I know this is an older video. Funny you should mention Leica. I sold all my film Leicas years ago and supported myself in SE Asia for several months. Camera gear these days is the iPhone 15 pro. Mobile is the key at my age. Editing on iPad has become much more complete as time has gone on. For instance Logic Pro is now available on iPad for audio files. There are plenty of Audio plug-ins too for iOS. LumaFusion for video.

Leica is so lovely. The binoculars and rangefinder I use from them are truly an experience above the average gear.

Libby and Marcel, the two of you are great on camera together! Thank you for this video and the many others you've produced. Cheers!

Thanks- this is very informative and I enjoyed it very much! I wonder if you have any recommendation on the bags to use for street photography and sound recording.

Hello from HK!! Just randomly stumbled on your channel when I was looking at the Mixpre-6 ii. Really love your enthusiasm and positive vibe in the videos. Keep up the great work!!

I would really like to know how you pack everything (camera gear and clothing). Do you get it all in a single bag? Do you checkin and if so what is checked vs what do you bring onto the cabin?

Hi, nice to see you always smiling: so refreshing!
Less is better: producing such vidéos with only 1 cam and a 35mm is impressive, a good lesson of wisdom for me! I've swiched to micro 4/3 because of size and weight and the impressive in camera stab of Olympus but own sooo much apn and lenses now that I should reduce my gear and return to a more minimalistic carrying gear...

You guys are so freakin cute. Always such a fun time watching your content!

What I would really like is a video (or more than one...) about how you travel on airplanes with your equipment. How much kilos do you take with you, what do you take as hand luggage, what kind of suitcases do you use, how may suitcases, do you buy an extra chair for equipment you take as hand luggage,... well, practical stuff like that :) Keep up the good work :)

I think similarly what might make an interesting video that not a lot of people talk about is how you store all your video files and back everything up while on the road, do you have multiple HDD harddrives? Do you use a NAS system like Sonology? I would be interested in that because I think a lot of creators neglect that area and have a closet full of harddrives lol

You guys are awesome, funny and it's Nice to see you together doing what you love, that's Great and very inspiring for me!
How much love. ❤️

Also dass man in einem fremden Land einen Menschen aus einem anderen fremden Land trifft, mit dem es privat UND beruflich passt, das ist schon ein toller Glücksfall. Da hat sich jetzt so manche/mancher gesagt: "So jemanden hätt ich auch gern" :)

Die kleine Leica ist schon ein tolles Stück Technik. Und die Beschränkung auf eine Festbrennweite sorgt dafür, dass man sich aufs Motiv konzentriert, statt auf die Technik. Streetphotography ist ein tolles Hobby.

Und es ist wertvoll für die Zukunft. In 50 Jahren wird sich jemand über die Aufnahmen von Libby freuen, weil ihre Bilder zeigen, wie es in den 20ern in den Metropolen der Welt ausgesehen hat, welche Mode aktuell war, wie die Autos und die Frisuren ausgesehen haben... Und jemand anderes wird sich freuen, dass deine Aufnahmen zeigen, wie sich die Welt in den 20ern angehört hat.

Dann dreht jemand im Jahr 2080 einen Film, der 2022 spielt und er verwendet Libbys Bilder, um Kostüme und Kulissen nachzubauen und deine Sounds für die Nachvertonung :)

Tolles Video - wie immer :) Vielen Dank
und viele Grüße - Til.

This tripod is what my dreams are made of!

I love the Leica Q2! Please do post a few more Street photography videos with some ambient sound (if you have the time!) that will be quite unique and a wonderful combination of your talents! Thanks for the lovely videos.

A nice small amount of gear. I say more of you both out there in the videos. Do you have a video explaining the differences between X Y and AB setup of microphones? I have been looking through your videos and haven't seen any yet. Greg

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and look forward to more in the near future 👌

Thanks, keep them coming

Libby and Marcel: you are just great! Wonderful creative team!

Great decision! I love the chemistry between you. One completes the other. That's why your videos are so cool.

👌

Absolutely brilliant content. I love to see you two talk so passionately.

Thanks for all your videos you’re doing a great job.looking forward to see you’re sound devices vs zoom f6 video

we love u!!!

This was great and looking forward to seeing more behind the scenes

You guys could be talking about bricks and I would still watch, the chemistry between you both is amazing - like a couple on their honeymoon. I love your channel and am excited to see more of Thailand.

Thanks for the great video. And hooray for GAS! take care guys! Looking forward to the next one!

Another great video. I shoot a snow camping I did 10 days ago with the iphone 13 and I only good things I can say about it. I totally agree about the cababilities of iphone's camera.

Wow, so Libby's education background explains the great videos you have!

Could we possibly see a street photography book from Libby in the future? With all of the travelling and adventures you have it would seem to make sense :)
