Lyubo: “We finished our new actionsport video, shot in Austria in March and April. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFmub_EbVcg It is all filmed on the A7S II with a few shots on the Gopro4. And regarding lenses, it was mostly shot on the Samyang Emount 8mm fisheye, Sony 24-70 f4, and Sony 55-210, with a few shots on the Samyang 50mm f1.4, and the Sony 10-18mm f4.
I hope you like it, and if the viewers have any questions about how we shot it, the gear, editing process, etc., I’d happy to answer.”
