Hey guys

Would like to hear your views on the choices that I have for video equipment that I have selected in my shortlist. I want to invest in something that I will shoot some youtube videos with at home for my daughter's youtube channel. I am aiming for 4K capabilities

I am very new to the video scene and would like all the advice I can get. I have done a lot of photography but not as much video, not invested in anything for video before.

The videos so far are OK for starting out, but I know I can do a lot better. I used a mix of mobile phones and a Canon 6D. I really want to improve the videos, post production and editing capabilities.

So far, I have selected the following 4k cameras.
  • Blackmagic Cinema EF mount 4K camera (plan to use my 24-70 2.8 on it, or could consider a samyang lens)
  • Panasonic GH4 with a couple of MFT lenses
  • Sony A7R II already have a 24-70 F4 E mount lens but can also use EF lenses with metabones

Some more questions for the experts.
  • Please suggest which editing suite is the best and easiest to handle 4k footage in pro res or raw (for the blackmagic stuff)
  • Please suggest what lighting equipment and backdrops I should consider.
  • Which microphone setup should I consider?

Thanks and much appreciated.

Can't advise I'm afraid, strictly stills here.
However, you might get more replies by posting this in the video section?
Good luck.
