Wireless control over these functions from your setup is ideal \u2014 that way you spend less time around to make adjustments. However, you probably don&#8217;t need top-of-the-line functionality \u2014 at least not yet. There&#8217;s a lot of great DSLR-aimed technology \u2014 like the DEC LensRegain \u2014 at a reasonable price that covers a single or double-axis.<\/p>\n<p>I currently use a single-axis (focus only) <a href=\"https:\/\/cinegears.com\/product\/cinegears-rattlesnake-basic-kit-with-standard-motor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Cinegears Rattlesnake Follow Focus<\/a>. But, let&#8217;s say your shot doesn&#8217;t need all this dynamic FIZ ability and you already own prime lenses. Then, simply staying with a wide angle and balancing your exposure at higher f-stops (f4+) will help keep everything in focus.<\/p>\n<p>Plan time to do lens swaps into your schedule or shot list. If you&#8217;re using an active lens made for your camera, you could possibly take advantage of your camera\u2019s control application. It covers many functions, including focus, iris, and our next category: triggering the recording.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"2-trigger-control\">2.

Of course, you can always hit record on the camera and jump back into the car. But, dealing with wasted card space and skipping through useless footage in post could be an issue.<\/p>\n<p>My Aputure DEC Lens Adapter has a trigger feature, but it can be difficult to confirm on the camera when you&#8217;re sitting in the car. The camera app is a great option, but it can also be frustrating due to unreliable connectivity. A good solution is an external monitor since there are currently plenty of budget-friendly options. By pressing record on the device doing the actual data saving, we can be certain of recording, save some camera battery, and keep track of how much time we can capture \u2014 all while monitoring a live feed. Among other many useful features like waveforms.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"3-external-monitors-and-video-feed\">3.

You can use a camera app for locked-off framing. However, when you want the camera to move and hit focus points, latency (the time it takes a transmitter to send data to a receiver) can be an issue. Even the largest budgets rely on cables instead, due to their reliability and speed.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if I wanted to be able to record a 4K source on my Inferno, I&#8217;d currently have\u00a0to use a cable. After all, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/nab-2019-teradek-bolt-4k-wireless-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">mobile-friendly 4K wireless video units<\/a> are new to the market.<\/p>\n<p>I now own a <a href=\"https:\/\/cinegears.com\/product\/ghost-eye-wireless-hdmi-sdi-video-transmission-kit-600m-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Cinegears 600MP<\/a>, which is ten times more versatile than my previous pro-sumer system and has been worth every penny.

This could require more specialized tools \u2014 like suction cup mounts, clamps, and rig arms \u2014 but they&#8217;ll be useful for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Setting up next to your driver might be ideal, or maybe carefully hidden in the backseat if necessary. With a little patience, we can reuse our dual suction cups (from the earlier tutorials above) on the inside windshield. Then, use our clamp and arm to place the monitor, which we can adjust later. Long HDMI, SDI, and P-Tap extension cables are a must when working inside a car.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t recommend setting up in a chase car with a wireless video unit unless you have a secured location route with no public interference. This is due to the degree of coordination that&#8217;s involved with the driver. I had interference issues on my commercial in a chase car due to driving through downtown buildings. I also could&#8217;ve used my longer, yet more fragile, antennas.<\/p>\n<p>Having trouble with a stiff cable?

Luckily, a car is also like a rolling generator. With a proper power inverter, we could power the monitor and some lighting to see our equipment or our subject. Check the manufacturer&#8217;s rating on the wattage you can draw and compare it to the total combined wattage of the equipment you plan to use, plus twenty percent. Your devices shouldn&#8217;t exceed the total wattage of the inverter. Do your research when choosing an inverter before going crazy with lights.<\/p>\n<p>But, as we begin to discuss lighting, techniques for capturing a subject in a car can be tremendously different. Control over the location, having permits, and being safe can all affect your approach. This is where two really well made videos on the Shutterstock Tutorials channel can fill you in. The first video covers what to do when you need an actor to act, not drive . . .<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nwwdx6l7Ib8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s say you just want to get a shot of someone driving, with no dialogue or other distractions. The next video helps breaks down how to shape light in a small area . . .<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5a5hlEpq_Es?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>But, when the subject is in a car \u2014 actually driving on public roads \u2014 your major consideration needs to be the driver&#8217;s ability to see properly. If your actor is hesitant at all to confirm they can see, you&#8217;re pushing it too far and should personally confirm visibility. Any direct light source aimed at the actor&#8217;s eyes will cut down their visibility greatly.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to check your local laws regarding what you can attach to a vehicle before entering the public domain.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"in-conclusion\">In Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>In closing, I&#8217;d like to quickly comment on the ancient debate of talent vs. equipment and how it relates to becoming a better professional. Equipment can\u2019t teach you how to convey a good story or land a joke, but it can certainly help you move faster and safer \u2014 as well as reinvigorate your personal excitement and the enjoyment of tackling the process as a professional.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s taken me years to build up the arsenal of equipment I own. Each was a planned step in giving me more freedom to explore my abilities. Each a carefully planned move in tearing down the next glass ceiling. You may not own an ALEXA LF, but you can keep its functionality in mind while making upgrades to your gear set to make it a more viable rental option. Learn to find a balance between cost, functionality, and what you can endure. Always keep pushing your limits!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/quick-guide-video-equipment-deals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Here is one last article<\/a> with some helpful tips on getting gear at great deals.
