When I thought photography was expensive af, then this guy appears with a robot on a rail system.
Thanks for the tips xD

Bro just wanted to flex on us with his cool stuff 😂

Tip No.2 get an Oscar winning, car size, prohibitive expensive robot to move the camera

[theanimaster]

So to sum up, how to shoot awesome macro video: buy gear that will cost more than your house and kids sold into slavery. Gotcha.

I thought it was really fun seeing the pro gear. The tips were good. I especially liked seeing what the different focal lengths do.

At about .30 seconds did you just hit the lense with that thing in your hand? Nice tips

[nelsonjt]

Tip 1: buy one of these big ass robots 🤖





Jk loved the video😄

[wagonwheelfarm]

Very nice comparison. It gets me to thinking.

[codysimmons]

Very cool to see all this crazy equipment but not very realistic. Your tips are to find a $200, 000 robot to keep shots steady and how much is that probe, like $3k. I will run right out and start practicing 😂

[BikesAndSnacks]

Anyone else watch this and decide to buy a robot too?

[Tech]

Why is everyone using these super expensive macro lenses. Does that mean you can't get a decent video using something like an extension tube ?

[Tech]

Thousands than thousands of Dollars of equipment in this video. I just have an led panel and a macro extension tube on a kit lens 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ( Bye Bye Macro )
