Is the canon rf 75 300mm f 4 5 6 good for video?

Not really the first pick for video. The Canon RF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 is a cheap, light telephoto zoom, and it has no optical stabilisation. At 300mm, handheld footage will show every bit of shake, and the lens gets darker as you zoom in. That's a real drawback for video.

It can still make sense for tripod or monopod work, such as distant subjects, wildlife, or sport, where you're not holding it steady by hand. For vlogging or walking shots, look for a wider lens. The Video guide covers what matters most: a flip-out screen, a wide view, and a microphone input. Audio matters too, so budget for it from the start under Audio.

The site doesn't cover this lens's video-specific features, so check its full lens page for the details that matter to you.
