What camera gear do we use to shoot our regular videos? Check out what we all use and what we use each specific camera system for.
Live Videos
Now this video is shot on my Samsung Note 10 Plus. This phone has a fantastic camera for not only pictures but also takes great quality video as well. We do a combination of Live videos but daily we are shooting them on our Instagram page. Be sure to follow us on IG.
Since this video was shot we have even upgraded and purchased a new cell phone stabilizer. This tool is the DJI Osmo 4. This device allows us to have it hold our phone and stabilizes the footage. This makes it much more smooth, so no more wobbly footage shot from us just holding our cell phone. Also you won’t have any of the audio issues, like before. Specifically with us moving our hand around on the microphone area and causing all of the annoying noises and muffling. If you are interested in getting any of the items mentioned in this article we have links below!
Non Live Videos
The rest of our non Live videos will now be shot on the Canon EOS R. This camera is fitted with the RF 15-35mm L series Lens. This camera is defiantly overkill to some for what we are trying to show, but we believe in having the best tools to do the best possible job and this only helps. Its built in lens image stabilizing helps with shooting footage on vehicles when we have to use the camera in our hands. As of now we do not currently own a stabilizer that will fit this camera system. We do have one but it works great on our other smaller Cannon m50 camera. The m50 is a great camera for people wanting to up their video game in our opinions but not needed by any means. Most people in our industry strictly use their phone cameras and it defiantly can make things much more simple.
With our technician Jack always loving to nerd out the way he does this was not enough and he opted to upgrade our systems to provide better content. With upgrading equipment also comes upgrading software and the time spent in the editing department though.
Hyper lapse and Time lapse Videos
If you’re not familiar with these video styles, what this is is basically a sped up version of videos where you see us working super fast. Nothing is in slow motion its all super sped up footage. A time lapse is basically individual photos taken to make a sped up video clip. A hyper lapse is something Go Pro’s can do to make the footage basically flow together better than a time lapse. For this footage style we use the Go Pro Hero 7 Black. Now our phone cameras, canon cameras will do time lapse footage but we prefer the hyper lapse look so we tend to stick with that. Plus the go pro being as small as it is and super simple. Simply turn it on and hit record. It really streamlines this process and works best for us for this.
Audio
For microphones we heavily favor the Rode mic series. Most of the time we use the Rode Wireless Go Mic on our Cannon EOS R. For other styles of shooting where a microphone on just one person isn’t enough we use the Rode NTG shotgun style microphone. This microphone allows us to pick up multiple people and sounds. This is best for interviews and some vehicle walk arounds.

Not only are dings or dents on your favorite motorcycle a matter of acute frustration, but they can also shockingly reduce its market value. It can be pretty expensive to fix motorcycle dents and let’s not forget how dangerous it can be to ride around with it.
That is where our ‘Paintless Dent Repair’ or PDR, in short, comes into play. Read on to know what PDR is and how it can help you to get rid of that horrid crater from your motorcycle.
A Look into the World of Motorcycle Paintless Dent Repair (MPDR)
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a technique to remove minor dings and dents present on a motorcycle without ruining the bike’s original factory paint. The dent fixing process through PDR requires a lot of patience, while our expert technician massages all dings and dents out from the inside of the tank, or from the underside of the fender. Highly specialized tools that are particularly made for this task are used during the dent removal process.
Dent Removal Process Through Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)
An expert PDR technician will use specialized tools to vigilantly press the dent back into its original position without the need to use any kind fillers or paint. This allows your motorcycle to remain in its original factory condition, and it will look as if the ding never even happened.
PDR is not only a quick process but also lasts longer and is more durable than other traditional motorcycle ding repair methods.
Benefits of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)
Quality:
The PDR method does not use any fillers, primers, grinding, or Bondo as the original paint of the motorcycle is not disturbed. Thus, PDR is the best solution that offers optimal quality while removing dings and dents from your favourite motorcycle.
Cost-Effective:
Another significant advantage of PDR is its value. A typical paint repair of a minor motorcycle ding might cost $500-$1200 or even more if it has custom paint. The same dent can be fixed through the PDR method much faster and often times more cost effective.
Time Efficient:
Apart from improved quality and cost-efficiency, the PDR method also takes up less time to repair dings and dents. As a result, you won’t have to spend a lot of time away from your bike.

See one of the tools we use to help us inspect vehicles for damage. It also makes for a faster inspection. This tool is the Wedge Light from Edgy Tools. This tool allows us to wedge the door upper channel open and then turn the light on and shine it into the door cavity from the top window opening.
How Does This Help
This tool helps speed up the estimating process so we can see where the damage is located in relation to the internal bracing and sound deadener in the door assembly. Prior to this tool we would have to use a separate wedge and spread the door open then use a smaller flash light and shine it in the door opening. Doing this worked ok, but the wedge light illuminates the entire door in one shot. So now we only need one tool instead of 2. Also the wedge light has an amazing battery and is rechargeable through a USB port. We pulled this out of the box when new and used it for over 9 months without recharging! Now that is awesome!

Have questions about dent repairs, tools or would you like to schedule a repair?
The weather in Sioux falls seemed to be amazing! It was sunny for the better part of the day and then BOOM!
You’re hit with a hail storm.
You look outside with sights of desperation to check if your car is parked safely, but – no, it’s not. In fact, you can even see the hail damage starting to happen. You’re hearing all kinds of dents piling up on your car, and all you can do is sit and watch.
You continue to see hail the size of a golf ball attack your car mercilessly, as you sit there, confused, thinking of your next step.
Now what?
Well – we handle situations like these every day. This is when you give a call to Sioux Falls Dent Repair. We’ll immediately get you an appointment so we can help you in your time of need.
But why would anyone need a paintless dent repair (PDR) anyway? You’ll be surprised! As it turns out – there are various advantages to getting a PDR on a hail damaged car.
Benefits you weren’t even aware of!
Keep on reading to know these advantages and let us take care of the rest!
The Benefits of PDR
Repairing Hail Damage in a Cost-Effective Way
Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a lot more cost-effective than a normal dent repair that you can get with paint. Apart from the service cost being lower than painting your car, PDR also helps you save the paint of your car. Always remember, the original paint done by the manufacturer always has the best coat, and it is also the strongest!
Try not to remove that paint!
PDR Is Faster!
Compared to painting cars carefully, PDR can be a lot faster! Depending on the damage your vehicle has sustained, it may take only a few hours! If the hail-storm was a big storm and many cars were damaged – you might have to wait weeks for regular hail repair. That is why we recommend going for PDR!
PDR Is Environmentally Friendly
The paints that are used on cars can be highly toxic fumes. These fumes can cause lung damage. They also release dangerous toxins that become a part of our environment that can harm animals, too. Since there is no paint involved in the PDR process, your footprint on the environment will be minimal!
You also won’t have to worry about polluting breath-taking Sioux Falls!
Retaining Value
A traditional dent repair will make use of different kinds of materials. These materials can be body fillers and paint that will be used on damaged areas. The use of these extra materials on your car’s body can reduce the value of the car.
On the other hand, PDR will help you maintain your car’s value. If you leave your car to a skilled technician, they will rectify the hail-damages your car sustained by using exclusive PDR procedures and tools. Because of their skill and the PDR method, the original factory look of the car won’t be altered. You’ll also be free of any concerns related to color differences or over spraying.
