👉 How to Film VR180 with Canon EOS VR System (new lesson every month):

[ShinilPayamal]

Thanks for the awesome 1st part of the Masterclass. There aren't many YouTuber's/Creators who are putting even 50% of the work you are doing. Simply amazing. #Respect

[JeffBourke]

This is a MUCH better approach than all the small crappy 3d cameras you used to review! A real camera!

[wtfnahmean]

simple and easy to understand. very well done!

[tobiascrow]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial! Thanks!!!

[josephcalarco]

I purchased the R5 C kit along with the dual fisheye lens over the weekend. I haven't even turned the camera on with the fisheye lens connected. I want to see some how-to videos before getting to frustrated. Nice video but I won't have the money for most of the equipment shown in the video...maybe in the near future!

[maxkangas]

Absolutely amazing! You are #1 VR filming instructor in the world! Question: If I want to use the Portkeys BM5WR screen, what cables do i need for connection to the camera and what about the power solution. Zendure is out. What are other good options?

[catchychazz]

Thank you Hugh! What's the bare minimum gear for handheld VR180 travel vlogging/hiking?

[michaelwagner]

And one more question: Do you separately record the audio with the Zoom H3-VR, manually sync it with the camera mic in premiere and disable the audio track of the camera, or is there another easier technique for the audio recorded by the Zoom H3-VR?

[sturmn]

Thanks for the video, Hugh! Just wanted you to know: it seems like a lot of the buy links in the description don't link to the right Amazon listing

[Pcbdude]

The last thing you showed. Will that allow me to put the camera in front of my face to give that first person pov?

I'd also love to see a video showing more details on connecting that 3d mic and the external monitor

[jasonlo]

Hi Hugh! Thank you so much for your tutorial! I’m getting a external monitor for my Canon VR. The PORTKEYS BM5WR is quite over my budget after getting all these gear. Does PORTKEYS LH5P works too? Or do you have any recommendation for a more affordable monitor?
Thank you Hugh, I hope you read this and be able to give me a hand. You inspired me and I’m watching your video everyday over and over again to learn shooting VR with my R5:)

[cali]

Can you make a video showing how to make a VR 180 camera with 2 GoPro 10s

[bucadude]

Thanks Hugh,

I have already received my Dual Fisheye lens - and I just now preordered the R5-C which I hope to receive when it starts shipping in March (according to Adorama) - so while I wait to complete my kit I'll be watching and rewatching your series of how-to videos on shooting and producing VR180 content - and of course now is the time to sign up for your Master Class on VR - Yes! I'm not sure I would feel comfortable investing in this if it were not for you and your guidance - Thanks again!

[bucadude]

Hi Hugh - thank you for your in-depth recommendations for the accessories needed to shoot VR180 with the new Canon system .

Could you let us know which model Slypod you recommend for use with the new R5C - I already received my dual fisheye lens. I am now ready to purchase the accessories that I need as you recommend

[xsd]

What do you like using to edit? Mac or PC? I want to build a setup just for this camera

[lucianocolella]

Hi Hugh, could you advise me which gelative filters to buy? I can't find a solution, I would need an ND64 and ND128. 🙏
Thank you very much for all, you are doing a fantastic job! 👊

[RichardTallent]

Enjoyed the video, as always! The R5 and VR lens combo is way outside my price range, but I am doing some VR180 still photography with an RP, a single Sigma fisheye lens, a Neewer dolly rail, and some models with a LOT of patience and superpowers at staying still between L/R shots!

[virtual_recall]

Hi Hugh, you mentioned ND filter but no link to buy. I am going to buy everything on your list this week. I will be shooting outside. Can you share where to buy? I want to make sure I buy the right one.

[jamiefuller]

Thabks for the great video and chat @hugh, Going back to your video where you used 2, insta360 go 2 cameras, is it possible to do the same using 2 gopro 10s with the max lens mod?

[johnkantar]

Hugh thanks for the video, The Arca rail you have seems different to product description, the one you have seems quiet long where did you get this, i also like the fact that it has lots of mounting holes
thanks John k
