[ryan elder] “But the autoexposure was not turned on and I had it switched to manual. So how can it keep the same exposure throughout the zoom, if the camera is on manual exposure mode then?”
You can’t, nor can you zoom on a 300mm prime lens, so don’t worry about it. Be more concerned with putting your camera on a tripod instead and getting basic, steady shots with the lenses you already have that work.

I’ve had it since Fall 2015, and I love it. One of the best cameras I’ve ever used.

Very nice. This is brief in the edit, but the footage of the cosplayers was a bunch of long takes with an EZ Rig Mini Max and a Ronin-M flying my C300 Mark II with Face Detect running.

[ryan elder] “But I CAN afford better tools, I was just asking which type of focusing tool is the better one. I didn’t say I couldn’t afford it though. I totally can, which is why I was asking.”
Even though you can afford it, you should not spend the money.
-
[ryan elder] “Is that electronic focus more or less reliable then the wireless follow focus?”
You shouldn’t purchase a wireless follow focus. They are both unreliable for your situation.

[ryan elder] “Okay thanks, but why not use a gimbal for some shots, what’s the big deal?”
You shouldn’t use a gimbal at all.
-
[ryan elder] “Isn’t there a better way, but still be able to use a gimbal or something like that?”
No there isn’t. Throw out any shots that would need a gimbal. Just don’t do them.
[ryan elder] “Or is the autofocus actually that good on some camera, that you can actually program which actor you want to be in focus, and when?”
No, use the camera you have.

“Upgrading” has nothing to do with it. A new lens won’t fix poor composition, terrible lighting, confusing editing, boring plots, lame acting, and uncompleted projects.

[ryan elder] “It seems that some other filmmakers are okay with a bare minimum if quality. Like when it comes to cinematography, they feel that as long as they have a camera, a lens, and some lights that is enough to make the movie.”
You’re a filmmaker that is okay with a bare minimum of quality, it’s reflected in the work you’ve shown. You should just take what you have and make a movie instead of just yapping about it.

Your “DP”’s lenses are perfectly acceptable for the quality you are getting. Don’t waste money.
