**Choosing the Right Camera for Your Unboxing Videos**

We've been using our camera to create straight-down shots for our unboxings, but we know that having one 4K-capable camera and one non-4K camera won't be ideal. We're considering upgrading to a different camera system that can handle both 4K and 1080p footage seamlessly.

One option we're exploring is using two Cinema Cameras with various accessories to achieve our desired level of quality. However, this approach requires a significant investment in proprietary parts, which may not be the most cost-effective solution. On the other hand, we could opt for a single camera, such as the Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera, and upgrade it with additional accessories to make it 4K-capable.

Another option we're considering is the new Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro, which features a 10-inch touchscreen and built-in audio controls. While this camera has its advantages, such as being modular and upgradable, we're still weighing the pros and cons of using it for our unboxing videos.

**The Challenges of Shooting in 4K**

One of the challenges we face when shooting in 4K is that different cameras have different sensors, which can affect the quality of the footage. For example, the Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera has a unique sensor that shoots things very differently from other cameras. This means that if we want to match our 4K footage with footage shot on another camera, it would require a lot of work in post-production.

We're also considering using an external audio solution to improve sound quality, as some cameras, including the Cinema Camera, don't have built-in audio controls. This would allow us to adjust levels on the fly and ensure that our audio is crisp and clear.

**The Importance of Audio**

Good audio quality is crucial for creating engaging unboxing videos. However, if we're not careful, poor sound quality can detract from the overall viewing experience. That's why we're considering investing in a high-quality external microphone to ensure that our audio is top-notch.

We've also been using headphones to record our own voiceovers, which has helped us to improve our audio quality. However, this approach may not be ideal for everyone, and some viewers may prefer the sound of their own voice. Ultimately, we want to create a viewing experience that is enjoyable for all our viewers.

**The Power of Audiobooks**

In addition to discussing cameras, we're also excited to announce that we've partnered with Audible.com to bring you exclusive content. If you're an avid reader, you may know that Audible is the world's leader in spoken word entertainment. With their vast library of audiobooks, you can download any book you've been wanting to read and enjoy it on the go.

We'll be sharing more information about our partnership with Audible in the coming weeks, but for now, we want to thank them for their support. If you're interested in trying out Audible for yourself, they have a special promotion that includes a free audiobook download of your choice when you sign up through our affiliate link at audiblepodcast.com.

**The Future of Camera Technology**

Finally, we want to hear from you! What do you think about 4K cameras? Are they essential for creating high-quality unboxing videos, or are they just a marketing gimmick? We're always looking for feedback and ideas from our viewers, so don't be afraid to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

In addition, we might have missed another camera that's worth mentioning. The Sony F65 is one example of a high-end camera system that could work well for our unboxing videos. However, without more information about this camera, we can't make an informed decision about whether or not to invest in it.

Ultimately, we're excited to explore new camera technology and find the best solution for our needs. With the help of our viewers, we'll continue to innovate and improve our content to bring you the best possible unboxing videos.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis episode of techno buffalo is brought to you by audible what's up everyone welcome back to episode of wretting just wrists formerly called written just rants cause i'm just not that angry anymore i don't know that stuff to yell about i'm a father now a mellowed up this week on riffs i want to kind of talk with you guys and tell you what's going on here at tecto buffalo camera wise i got a lot of questions about gear what i think we're doing what we might be doing we're probably going to be ordering to help upgrade all of our kit this is rector's riffs let's start getting rifty so another show that we have here on technobuffalo is ask the buffalo people can ask any question that they want to ask about the site company me whatever usually answer four or five questions every week do i get questions about our gear what we use to film with what lenses we use and everything so i've answered it before but right now we are filming with a canon c100 we upgraded from a canon 5d mark iii and a 5d mark ii before then we actually got robbed like a year ago and our 5d mark ii and our mark iii got stolen we replaced it with another mark iii anyway but now we're on the canon studio now that's a story for a totally another day uh so we're filming on a canon c100 which has been great we've been using it for not even that long probably about six to eight months uh and i love the camera i love having sort of a film first camera i don't do any of the camera work that's ron and ralph but at least from what i see it looks like it's way way easier all i see is really just the lens sort of staring back at me um and it's been really good for us and i think canon has worked out very well all of our lensing is all canon with their ef mounts uh but things are changing very quickly the world wants more k's they want more case faster and things are going sort of trending towards 4k and i've always said let's hold off on 4k until there are 4k monitors you know i'm not i don't sort of run the business just buy every you know camera out there to review it we don't really review that many cameras you're talking about buffalo anyway so what we buy i want to make sure we can use and there aren't that many 4k monitors out there they're really expensive and i really wasn't sure it was the right time to go uh 4k um so we started looking about what 4k stuff was out there and things started to get less expensive and more options start to come out you know you've got panasonic's gh4 their micro four thirds 4k camera which is just a teeny tiny little body and it's incredibly awesome uh what it can do canon of course has their stupid expensive c500 coming in at 20 thousand dollars which fun fact same sensor in the c100 the c300 and the c500 get a little better electronic viewfinder and some other options but really canon difference is it's a five thousand dollars for the c 100 versus 20 for the it's so crazy that wasn't even an option we were considering uh we looked at things like the red scarlet you know which certainly awesome but thing about red that i found is it is so modular you can't just pop in an sd card or pop in an ssd you got to buy the red kind of hard drive memory modules that's got to go into the red card reader even when you just buy a red camera then you got to buy a grip to put the battery in then you got to buy another battery to swap it out with then you got to buy the red battery charger and it gets absolutely crazy and aside from all that kind of crazy proprietary business it records in raw which is a little bit on difficult side to work especially for what we do you know raw wouldn't make much sense i don't think for us uh then we started looking at other cameras if we want to decide to go 4k uh we started looking at stuff from black magic which used to just make some audio components they're now making cameras they're making pretty awesome cameras so this is kind of the whole point of the video i know it took a while to get here we're thinking about going 4k and here's what i'm thinking we're going to do i sort of like to share it behind the scenes stuff and i'm curious to your thoughts on it uh so first thing do you think 4k matters um you probably know before it came on i don't have a 4k monitor but i will say i'm interested in doing 4k because it can be kind of cool to do sort of zoom and crop if you take 4k footage and do it at 1080p you can actually zoom in i don't get any sort of loss at all so you can almost make it look like you have two cameras i could be like hey i'm talking about one topic and then boom sort of a quick crop and zoom in looks like i'm talking about something different you can do a lot more i also think that 4k footage shot at 4k but compressed down to 1080p looks way better than 1080p footage shot at just 1080p and of course you can always upload uh in 4k so usually we shoot with two cameras we've got c100 i mentioned as our main camera we do unboxings we got a setup where camera shoots straight down and we use a canon 60d for that so we're looking at stuff from blackmagic that was sort of on the more affordable side we said okay the blackmagic cinema 4k camera looks pretty awesome it's a big kind of hulking square rectangle type thing the best part it's got canon ef lens mount on it looks pretty awesome but there's some downsides with the two it's got no xlr uh audio ports um it doesn't have that many iso settings uh it doesn't have phantom power for those xlr ports so kind of other sort of drawbacks we thought it might be a really good camera to sort of use to go for our straight down shots uh when it comes to unboxings but of course we need another camera and having sort of one camera 4k and one knot it's not going to work well or have a canon camera shooting with the black magic it's not going to look the same because the sensors sort of shoot things very differently it takes a lot of work in post to make sure these sort of colors kind of match and ron's already got enough on his plate i didn't want to add that to him he's nodding off camera you can't see but he is it would be a lot of work let me stop talking about 4ks and multiple caves for a minute to thank our friends at audible.com listen you probably know audible right now they are the world's leader in spoken word entertainment you could download any book you've been wanting to catch up on if let's say you like romance and you don't want anybody to judge you reading your book out in public download that sucker put your headphones on sit under the tree and reminisce about i don't even want to say what you should reminisce about if you like mystery you can get your mystery on if you like fiction fiction if you want to catch up on the steve jobs biography by walter isaacson it's a great chance to do it you can read them when you're walking when you're in the gym in the car that can be read right to you through your ear holes into your brain and then you will sound educated at parties which is pretty awesome go to audiblepodcast.com technology get a free audiobook download of your choice when you sign up again that is audiblepodcast.com get your free audiobook and sound smarter is that okay if we want to try going blackmagic let's go to blackmagics we want to go to cinema cameras which could definitely work you have to get a ton of proprietary parts make it work or they've got a camera they just announced in nab called the ursa which look at the thing right now it is just crazy looking it's got a 10 inch touchscreen on it it's got its own built-in audio controls which center my camera doesn't which is kind of weird no audio controls in the camera if you want to adjust levels on the fly you just can't do that you gotta adjust levels before you film and then hope no one's voice to go up or down if you watch my videos you know my voice goes up and down like crazy so we are thinking about going on the 4k bandwagon and i'm thinking we might go either two cinema cameras with crazy other accessories or go cinema camera and the ursa and sort of upgrade everything at once and hope it lasts us for many years here so it's also modular and upgradable uh similar to what the red is you can upgrade the red to the brain upgrade to different kind of camera options that they have um black magic kind of doing the same thing so that's the direction that we're thinking about going i wonder if you guys care about 4k are we sort of spinning our wheels at all at the perception of oh you have to shooting with 4k people think you know you're a big deal or not i don't know i just want to hear your thoughts on it this is kind of the show where we get a chance to talk kind of one-on-one i just want to hear you think you care you care you don't care again if you guys want to add anything i think there's another camera we missed we talked about the sony's um as well but i'd just love to hear your thoughts i'll leave in the comments down below uh we'll be back next week with normal riffy episodes where i'm talking about things in my mind but i just wanted to share this sort of story with you guys and get your opinion on it's a great way to just chat to the audience anyway guys of course check us out at technobuffalo.com for latest greatest tech news until then i'm jon rettinger see you guys next video bye-bye so blackmagic also has a cinema camera i also have the production camera the cinema is 2.5 k the productions 4k they're just so many names i might have intermixed them but just know i'm talking about 4k i'm talking about the production one i might have said cinema so don't yell at me call me a jerk face i can make mistakes too oh my god what's up everyone thank you for
