I can agree this is a great camera!
thank you so much for this video
Thank you for great work on your youtube channel. I had a question about Atem Mini Extreme ISO (HDMI as well as SDI). So we have 2 HDMI Aux outputs and we an send Multiview through that. My question is can we have Cam 1 to 4 via Multiview 1 via HDMI 1 and Cam 5 to 8 via Multiview 2 via HDMI 2. Assuming I have connected 8 cams to my Atem Mini Extreme. And similarly for the SDI version can I do 4 different multiviews with a combination of different cameras, etc. Waiting for your reply...
The extreme doesn’t have two multi views. Only one. You’d have to graduate to the constellation 2ME to get two multi views.
@@zephanmoses Thanks a lot for a prompt reply...
I love the zv-e10 paired with Sigma 18-50 lens.
A much more sane choice for portrait work. Stick to 50 if you can for close up shots
I'm new to this and looking to set up my streaming system, probably using Riverside. I think this camera is great, but I'm wondering if there's a less techy option that still gives a clear picture. I'd appreciate your help
@@JanineEPayne you could use a webcam like the insta360 link or the Obsbot.
Would you recommend the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN for someone wanting to film digital courses but who prefers to stand rather than sitting at a table?
I think it’s great for any talking head work. Sit or stand is fine. It’s the right depth of field and field of view for that. Most of my CZcams videos use that lens and it’s just mounted next to my computer screen.
So how would you say it differs from the Sigma 18-50 in terms of use cases? When is each more/most suitable?
@@ariblochpro the 18-50 is a kit lens with a slow aperture. It won’t give you a shallow depth of field and it’s not going to do as well unless the lighting scenario is near perfect. The f1.4 gives you the blurred out background look that most people want and it’s much sharper because it’s a prime lens.
@@zephanmoses interesting. Personally I have the Sony a7iv and use the Tamron 28-75 2.8 for video, mostly talking heads, and it is fine. But in this case researching which lens to recommend to a friend planning to get the ZV-e10 (also for talking heads like vlog and digital courses).
@@ariblochpro A 28-85 gives you more room to zoom but it's just the same to physically move the camera closer to the person or person closer to the camera. I find the 16mm is great for me only because I sit down at the same desk with the same setup every time. But if someone is operating the camera and will be constantly moving around or needing to adjust then obviously a zoom lens allows for more flexibility. It's just not nearly as much of a shallow depth at 2.8 vs. 1.4
Can the HDMI cable also be plugged into the graphics card of my laptop ?
Sorry I’m new to this streaming thing,I’m getting a new laptop as well ,so I wonder if the internal graphics card is adequate.
Typically a graphics card HDMI port is an output, not an input. I'm afraid you would need a capture card still in order to capture a video signal into a computer. However you can use the ZVE10 as a webcam using a USB-C cable. I think it's limited to 1080p so you won't get a full 4K signal but that might be enough for your needs.
@@zephanmoses Okay thanks for your advice’I’m disappointed though ,those capture cards seem very expensive. I’ll see what I can do anyway. I’m a bit confused about the lenses for the Sony ZV E10. It’s different from the old 35mm system . I don’t want to be too close to the camera on my streams ,so I’m not sure which lens is right for me . I think the equivalent 35mm or 50mm on the old SLR system would be okay ,but I don’t know what the equivalent lens width would be for the Sony as it’s different. I’m told the 16mm lens you suggest is the equivalent to 24mm on the old DSLR system . It’s all rather confusing to choose a lens for a cropped image setup .
@@jazzycattruthkitten4101 capture cards aren’t that expensive. On the low end there’s the Elgato Camlink which you can usually grab for $99. There’s cheaper knockoffs on Amazon for half the price but you’ll get what you pay for. As far as lenses go the 16mm is great for me. The camera is mounted to my desk so it’s not very far away from me. The only reason I’d recommend someone go for anything tighter than 16 would be if they’re sitting further away from the camera and have a good amount of space.
You’re just reading about the crop factor due to the sensor size when you see that 16 is equivalent to something else but 16mm is still 16mm. It’s just not as wide as 16mm would be on a camera that has a full frame sensor size.
@@zephanmoses Okay thanks very much for that ,very helpful ,cheers .
@@zephanmoses Okay thanks ,very helpful.
The magic audio actually sounded terrible. I definitely think you're overhyping that prospect of it. But it's a great videon nonetheless. Very informative!
I do think there is an audience of people that want to switch from a webcam to an actual camera when it comes to streaming, and making a guide or video about how you set that up would be great. For instance, how would you go about connecting the ZV E10 and get it to record video for you in the best quality possible and how do you set that up on your computer?
Thanks for that. I have a video in the works on a setup I made for a news anchor who is using the camera to record live news hits for her work. It’s essentially the ZVE10 with a Rode Streamer X and a Blackmagic Video Assist. I’ll keep this in mind for the future!
So, using a Canon C200 is overkill?
I mean use what you have first and foremost. My main camera is a C70. But the ZVE10 has been perfect for streaming from home and smaller setups.
I just bought this whole setup, what cord should I be connecting to the camera?
What are you trying to connect the camera to? The Rode Streamer X? If so, you'll need a HDMI Micro to full size HDMI cable like this: amzn.to/3z6bFaB
@@zephanmoses rode streamer in your video
@@teammvz1032 HDMI
@@zephanmoses so hdmi from camera into the rodex then hdmi from rode into pc ? Sorry for questions new to this
@@teammvz1032 the rode connects to the computer via USB-c. I recommend checking out the rode channel for some videos that explain it.
What about overheating ?
@@Unhhrr haven’t had any issues. Since it’s AC powered and not using a battery it helps reduce heat. It’s also not recording in camera so that keeps the heat down too.
Stranger Things, however was shot on,like, Alexa - since the later seasons :)
It’s a joke 😉
Man its a good camera on a budget but if you can afford it i think for streaming and content creation the sony a7iii is one of the best cameras i have ever tried. Sony is definitely the purveyor of the best cameras and lenses. Though i wish i had the money to afford the zv e10 because the a7iii belongs to my dad😂 this is also a good camera. This world is too expensive to live in when there are so many things that you want lol.
It’s not a cheap hobby 😅
But can you imagine just a small device which takes photos and records videos is at the price point of a thousand bucks? Honestly I just want to win a giveaway from some content creator to get some streaming equipment. In my country buying locally is even more of a nightmare because it's even more money. What XLR deck would you recommend and what mic would you recommend for streaming under $500 for both things combined if you can tell me.
@@District_keenu there’s plenty of cheap audio mixers but it depends how many inputs you need and what features you want. I use the Zoom livetrak L8 as my main mixer and also recently added in a Rodecaster. But you can find analog mixers from Behringer for like $80-100. As far as a mic that’s kind of a broad question. What kind of mic? Wireless lavalier? Wired? Shotgun mic? Every livestream event has different needs.
@@zephanmoses ok sorry for the vague question. I wanted a mic with a boom arm included. I can spend $300 on the Mackie dlz compact xs but the mic is the main issue. I cannot find anything good under $100
@@District_keenu typically a boom pole is sold separately. At that price you might need to look at the older Rode NTG microphones or maybe a used Deity mic.
16mm is a terrible focal length for talking head work, unless you stay wide and away. Get close and personal and I hope you and your guests like your noses thick. With an APS sensor, something like 50mm would be nice and will give you creamy backgrounds if you get a f/1.4 or something. Maybe a 35mm if don't get too close. But it's not gonna happen in a 5x5 feet room. Portrait photography requires distance
Portrait photography is different than videography. 16mm is a very commonly used lens on this style of APS-C camera and works just fine for all of my videos. All of my stuff is talking head, it’s close and personal (per your comments) and my nose is just fine thank you. A 35 on this sensor is going to be much closer to a 50 on a full frame which simply wouldn’t work in such a small space like the one I have and many others have for their home office setup. The 16mm comes out to about 24ish after the crop.
And for the record, my APS-C sensor and 16mm lens has been used on my CZcams for well over a year and a half and hasn’t prevented me from building a following or teaching others.
@@zephanmoses Sorry for writing like a dick. Your following is a testament to your efforts and to the quality of your material. Please keep my comment as a suggestion for improvement though. I understand that the tight space is a big restriction, but we better clarify this when making suggestions for equipment improvements, especially expensive ones. Videography or photography, the geometry of the image is the same for the same sensor. And the traditional minimum focal length for flattering shots is 85mm FF. A bit more than 55mm in an APS. Many pros even use huge teles. 16mm APS translates to something close to 24mm in terms of geometry. It can work for wider frames like upper torso shots, but for tighter head-shots the geometry distortion becomes more pronounced. I cannot post links, but if you search for the photo main-qimg-bf4bec815f0cf72e67cbbfd4ff10feed-lq on google you will see a very nice example in quora
@@dimitris470 I understand where an 85mm makes perfect sense for portraits. I’ve used the Canon 85mm on my other cameras for plenty of corporate video work and some headshot photos.
I was strictly speaking from the standpoint of a home streaming camera setup for use similar to my scenario. It’s not possible to make an all encompassing answer. If we’re looking at it from that perspective half the content on CZcams would be useless because there is no “best” it’s all subjective and what works for one won’t work for everyone. All we can do is choose what’s right for us and if it works, we can recommend it.
In all fairness, I use titles that work with the CZcams algorithm because people don’t search for “lens that works for 70% of people live streaming from home” they search for “best” or “cheapest” or “top”, so admittedly my titles and explanations are subjected to some scrutiny because I’m working with the algorithm here.
But again, people aren’t likely to be using a 50 or 85 for a home setup and if it’s a corporate streaming setup we’re usually leveraging zooms anyways because we have to accommodate adjusting our shots of conference speakers and presenters.
@@dimitris470 tell us you don't know about cameras without telling us lol. This is a good example where theoretical knowledge doesn't apply to practical knowledge
Dude! What budget do you think we have????? 🤦🏻♂️
I appreciate the comment but in today's day and age, the only option you have sub $600 for a decent camera with 4K capability is going to be using your smartphone or a $300 webcam. It's not reasonable to expect to do anything below that type of budget. For reference, a typical cinema camera that I use on my livestream costs $6000, requires a $4000 lens and has at least another $1000 in SD cards, batteries and accessories and that's before you put it on a tripod.
This industry is expensive, my channel aims to teach those who are intermediate or advanced professionals.
First!!! 🤣
You got it!
an 800$ camera before the lens are you serious on the budget. dear lord that's not affordable .
@@MR_DOME the camera is $600 body only and my regular cinema camera is $6000. Even a decent 4K webcam these days will cost you $300 (look at the Obsbot and Insta360 link as examples). This Sony camera is a very affordable option. You won’t find a comparable mirrorless camera that allows for interchangeable lenses so that you can get the necessary depth of field for anything less than that. When you toss an F1.4 prime lens on this camera you cannot recreate a similar image with a webcam. It’s just not possible.
@@zephanmoses although I agree with the camera aspect although you can buy a used different model for less, this is in no way a budget video. Why? Because you really didn’t went for the budget part of anything. Let me give you an example. You chose a Shure MV7 for the mic. Is it budget? No, not even in Shure standards because the SM58 is just the same for a bit more than half the price. You just went with a slight cheaper SM7B but hey, it’s fancy. Guess what’s budget, a Behringer XM8500 which, surprise surprise, is almost as good as the SM7B and only a tiny percentage of users will notice the difference and it costs less than 1/3 of the MV7 and never in streaming.
The problem with videos claiming things being budget is the reality their creators.
To a person that buys a couple of Rolls Royce a Porsche is also a budget car… except it’s not.
