Thank you Vic! I bought the ZV-1 and I am loving. So thanks for all the videos about the camera, accessories and usage. Fantastic! One observation about the latest video. For me the ZV-1 was made to be the best small vlogging camera. I am a Canon guy, but I bought this as a travel camera. While the camera is great, it's not perfect as you pointed out. On the other hand, if you have to add a frame and ND filters to do workarounds, then it's no longer simple and minimalistic. It might be the ultimate vlogging rig, but it's also getting bigger and it's more stuff you need to make it happen... Personally, I am keeping it simple with a selfie stick and the Rode Wireless Go. So good!
Hey Coach, totally fair point. But it’s very much down to individuals with what they want to do. Do you need an ND Filter, arguably not. For me, I do. The cage for me, while it adds some weight, it fixes a design flaw of the tripod mount plus it adds an extra level of protection for the camera. Do you need all of this, no. Not at all. The Sony ZV1 is perfectly capable without any of this, but the video highlights what you can do, if you want. It’s perfect as a travel camera.
This is epic, I don’t know if I would want to through that Sony Vlog grip like that lol. But I do understand the camera cage, your right about being annoying to get the SD card and or Battery out! I like the solution you provide to this problem
Vic Barry thanks to you and your video I decided to pick up this little beauty! I have a food channel and your tips has helped me up my overall quality! Thanks brother🙏🏽
hlw vic... can u do a the following video test on your zv-1 as it will help us alot : 1. Overheating test on continuous video recording (both on 4k@30 and 1080p@60 as it will be both overheating and battery life test aswell) 2. Continuous recording plus charging via powerbank with usb cable. 3. Low light test & how far can we push the iso (upto usable iso and highest iso) 4. use it as ur main cam inside ur studio with same lightings & setup & compare it with ur ACTUAL MAIN CAM (as it will help us to figure out how much capable this cam is) 5. Can we use it as a secondary cam for any video projects (how good is the video quality) 6. If possible Do a proper comparison vdo with Osmo Pocket (with same lighting & setup inside the studio too & compare the overall video quality) hope to see this video soon as no one has done this type of review on ZV-1 ..
Haven’t experience any overheating in the conditions I’m shooting in. If you’re shooting in very hot conditions then you probably will. Continuous recording just works.
I’ll take a look all at doing a studio setup alright. Video quality is superb. And depending on what your shooting it can certainly work as a second camera
First time I've ever stumbled upon your channel, man you're so entertaining ahahaha! An excellent mix of fun and information, love it! *_Subscription Successful!_*
Don’t think. Just do. 😂 The vlogging grip is nowhere worth the money. It won’t stabilise the footage. Get the Crane M2 it works perfectly with the ZV1. Most of the footage on one of my recent vids up North was shoot completely on the M2
@@VicBarry ah that's good to hear. I did a video during the week with the camera and wasn't happy with all the shaking lol. I have a ton of drone footage to cover it up. To used to running and gunning with the go pro I think
That aside the gimbal will allow you to turn off active steady shot. To be honest if you’d be using the gimbal every day once you’d get it balanced you could nearly leave the camera on there all the time. Balancing gets quicker the more you do it but the first time will have you pulling your hair out. That’s what happened to me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice set up Vic! That cage is pretty sweet. Having said that, i am still not convinced that the ZV1 is the perfect vlogging camera. The focal length is still not wide enough for my liking, especially with the stabilization turned on. For that reason, I am still leaning towards the new GoPro Hero 9 as my on the go vlogging rig.
Cheers, to be honest, I’d disagree. Focal length that’s in the ZV-1 has been used for vlogging for years, it’s more or less the same lens that was in the likes of the RX100 V - There’s a few alternatives though, a selfie stick will absolutely help and then there’s this wide angle lens which is the best I’ve used czcams.com/video/llrTj4Z0rPs/video.html
@@VicBarry i hear ya. I guess for my needs the gopro works since I do a lot of outdoor sports & travel. I feel for me personally, a gopro with a dslr set up makes more sense. Gopro for the quick on the go stuff...and a dslr for higher quality stuff at home. So i don’t need an in between point & shoot like the ZV1. But i could see where it totally works for others. It’s all good. I always enjoy your vids. 👍🏼
Vic Barry seams to be working out good I did order a 52mm macro lens and the adapter you showed in this video to try and get a wider shot we will see how that works
Hey there. Yep that little adapter is really handy. Let me know how you get on with the wide angle as I’ve yet to see one that doesn’t degrade the image quality 😞
@@VicBarry Sorry, Vic, I should have been more clear. I bought the Ulanzi wide angle lens for the ZV-1 already and it has its own mount that applies to the camera. I'm wondering if I get the JJ Lens Ring adapter so I can attach an ND or polarizer filter, will I be able to use it with the ZV-1, assuming that the mount for the Ulanzi lens is already attached? There's no way to use the two products at the same time, is there? Or will the mount that comes with the Ulanzi lens also work to hold a filter?
Not been able to use it's full potential as i only use my phone as an editor, not very good in editing as well, and am not good in speaking infront of the camera. But i like the camera but will see once the Samsung Note 20 Ultra arrives.
thanks for your videos, they are just awesome, I just bought the complete rig as you showed. just a quick question though: where did you find this sound effect of throwing the vlog grip into trash bin? is great. Thanks
Just got my ZV-1. Instead of a full cage, I'm using UURig L Plate and Protanle lense adapter which came with built-in UV filter and smaller thread size of 49mm to pair with JJC ND2-499, CPL & ND1000. I also buy a noname screen protector which also solve the screen blackout when using polarized sunglasses. Anyways, all great videos in this ZV-1 series. Cheer!
FYI, I bought the protector locally, and it seems this one is the same brand: www.amazon.com/DSC-RX100M7-Anti-Scrach-Anti-Fingerprint-Anti-Bubble-Anti-Water/dp/B07WH9RWCZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=dsc+rx100m7+anti+scratch+screen+protector&qid=1597192433&sr=8-6 I also heard that the JJC tempered glass protector for RX100M7 is also worked, too.

Great video. Can you use the small rig cage with the ZV1 and the Crane M2 at the same time? It would be nice to have a quicker way to snap it on/off without dealing with that loose screw! I saw small rig have an m2 adapter? Thanks! :)

Hello vic, great job, a question, do you have any video where you use a ND filter with the wide angle lens ulanzi? Or both cant work together? Thank you
Great stuff Vic, you have solved a couple of problems for me! Question, If you fit the SmallRig Cage to the Gimbal, then just take the camera out of the cage do you still need to re-balance the set-up?
Great video again! Here goes more money 🤑😉😁... But I'm digging learning the tips! If some time you can do a vid on what you are doing for stabilization, or if you have one I missed. Thanks again Vic! Water pistol... Lol 😁
Hey Mark, for stabilization it's very much a case of Ninja walking sometimes, but just picked up a Zhiyun Crane M2 for the ZV-1 and so far so good. Should have some sample footage next week of that in action.
@@VicBarry that's the one I picked up too. The remote features don't work but stabilization has helped. I like using the Sony Vlog stick as a remote control for the camera when in the gimbal. At least it has come in very handy for that 😁👍
@@VicBarry oh and the Ninja walking I hope maybe can come back a bit as I am scheduled for a full knee replacement Oct 2nd 😬... But I had fun destroying the knees racing snowmobiles and jet skis in my past 😁🏁... But I do look forward to maybe walking more normal soon 👍
Vic great Video !!! ??? Situation 1: Can you use the JJC Adapter to thread the Ulanzi Wide Lens Situation 2: Can you ND the Wide lens Thanks for any insight
Yes and yes :) An ND Filter (you'll need a 58mm one) will add some extra weight onto something already quite heavy so worth bearing that in mind. I've used the JJC Adapter to mount the Ulanzi as I had it already on for an ND Filter.
I looked at something about this.. I found 1 suited for the zv1 but did not buy it; cost is about $300 US also, I have the grip too, I use it all the time. Why don't y'all like it
Hi, great video. Can you show how that adapter and Nd filter works in your next video? What happens when the lens retract or comes out? What is the weight of Nd plus adapter?
Hi Ishan, the adapter is a permanent fixture to the lens. It’s stuck onto the front. Not sure if the weight of the adapter but it’s less than 50 grams. The specific Nd filter I’m using is 50 grams
@@VicBarry Thanks for the quick reply. So what happens to the Nd filter when the camera turns off and the lens is retracted? I also bought this camera recently. Still exploring it.
Thanks for the insightful video. Short & sweet! Does that ND filter make the viewing angle wider? or does it help partially with the croping issue? I have a basic idea of what ND filters do, but I had to ask since this rig makes the camera lens look a lot bigger with the lens adapter attached, plus the filter, etc.
Hey Marcelo, so the ND Filter won’t make any difference to the viewing angle. What it does do is reduce the amount of light hitting the sensor so you can get a slower shutter speed. Think of an Nd filter like sunglasses for your camera. And it won’t help with the active steady shot crop either. The best thing for that is a selfie stick or mini tripod so you can get more distance between you and the camera or use a gimbal and then turn off the active steady shot.
The real ultimate ZV-1 camera rig from top to bottom is a FIELD MONITOR mounted on a HANDLE GRIP on top of the RIG which houses the CAMERA with a LIGHT on one side and a MIC on the other side and an EXTERNAL BATTERY CHARGER mounted on the bottom which is further mounted on top of a TRIPOD which when collapsed acts as another HANDLE
Dang. It looked like the SmallRig cage for the ZV1 is out of stock for at least five weeks. That looked like a UK site but I didn't see it at all on Amazon US. I'll keep looking but I wanted you to get the credit.
@@VicBarry I'll check it out. Thanks. I did find the original cage on sites in the US but all are backordered. It must be popular...just like your channel.
Vic I just watched another video (A7C) and it was mentioned that they couldn't review catalyst browse because it kept crashing everytime they loaded any clips in to it. Have you had the same trouble with catalyst browse. Plus - can you fit the wide angle lens you recommended using the smallrig cage.
Hey Mark, I’ve had zero issue with catalyst browse. I reckon that issue you’ve highlighted will probably be fixed by an update to catalyst browse as the A7C is a fairly new camera. The wide angle absolutely works with the cage 👍
Vic, am I seeing that right? The rig you used as an example in the vid has two mics? I see two furry cover thingies. They're both mics? If so, why two?
Hey there, so the one on top of the camera is the wind muff that comes with the Sony ZV-1. I rarely take it off, the mic on the side is the Saramonic SR-XM1. Either way, the ZV-1 only uses one mic at a time, and if using an external mic, that's the one it'll use to capture audio
If you had a choice and you already have a crane M2 gimbal....Would you purchase the Zv1 or would you purchase a larger gimbal Weebill S or Ronin SC to use with Canon and Nikon mirrorless cameras?
I am looking to start a CZcams channel. I have been looking at cameras, starting I want to be on the cheaper side, and was looking at the GoPro9. But you like this better?
Hey Kevin, it all depends on what you’re doing. If it’s all action sports stuff then the GoPro is designed for that. But outside of that the ZV-1 is a better choice I feel. There’s a better, more natural image from it plus it’s incredibly flexible. Don’t get me wrong I love the GoPro 9 it’s great. But for me, personally, I’d stick the ZV-1
I have a small rig cage too, different than yours, it's an 'L' shaped bracket.. I have found 1 major flaw with it though.. It seems to loosen whilst walking around sometimes. I carry the allen wrench around to tighten when it becomes loose Do you have that issue with yours? .. also are you still using the zv1? thought I saw a video you were using something else now. If so, why'd you stop using it
Hey there, haven’t had any issues with the screw loosing on the cage at all. Seems pretty solid. Yeah. Totally Still using the ZV-1. I shoot most of talking head stuff with a Sony a6600 and have been well before the ZV-1 came out.
@@VicBarry yeah, I've had the zv1 for a couple months now (can't remember when I actually bought it lol) but find I've been using it more than my canon 7d2 Weather here, might have something to do with it too_ cold & snow 😞 Can't wait till spring to get out with both cameras hehe
Thanks for a great vid. I have seen from some other videos that are using adapters and ND filters that there is vignetting when you shoot video and photos at the widest angle. Is this the case with this adapter and ND filter?
Question? With the cage seeing how it has threads that you can screw on a ND filter, do you think they make a wide angle lens that would screw on the 52mm threads to help with the crop in problem?
Vic Barry - how about this one: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/394720-REG/Raynox_HD_6600PRO_52_HD_6600PRO52_52mm_0_66x_Wide.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=CjwKCAjwtNf6BRAwEiwAkt6UQndSGwOLh6RsjlyyrqChnGxVxVk2VfuzP7AdeT2hAKhDXum2rVU-uhoCrMAQAvD_BwE
Water and Land Adventures - the vid I linked also has a quality comparison with a cheap lens which explains what Vic is talking about. The Lumix lens seems legit though - will try when I get it!
Hey Michael, great video. That’s an awesome find. It’s still a bit soft around the edges but compared to the other so called adapters it’s leaps and bounds ahead. The weight would be a big concern though
Is there a similar camera to this that does 60fps 4k? I mean one with the same features. I assume it's better to have all 60fps video for editing rather than mixing 30 and 60 right? Though I heard it still apparently works quite well if the project is set to 30fps when doing that.
At this size and price point, not unless you look at the GoPro 9 or DJI pocket 2. You can easily mix 30p and 60p footage. I mix different frame rates all the time without issue.
@@VicBarry If mixing 30p and 60p then the 60p video has to drop frames since it would then be rendered at 30fps, does this not add any stutter? Curious for those who capture game footage along with extra video of themselves, so i guess it's either they use 1080p 60, a more expensive camera to capture 4k 60, or they record themselves at 30fps and also drop frames of recorded game footage or record that also at 30fps.
@@VicBarry Also when capturing video from a computer, do you think they capture at camera frame rates and not at whole 30 and 60 numbers for editing it along with video shot from a camera? Like 29.97 and 59.94? Wondering how much difference that makes. Thanks for answering by the way.
I'm using the M2 as well, it's working out great with the SmallRig cage. The only thing that would be even better with this combo is if I could get the gimbal to power the ZV-1. Then just charge the gimbal when it's low, instead of having to take off the camera to change out the battery and re-balance it.
@@VicBarry I bought the Zhiyun to Sony cable, and either it's a faulty cable, or it doesn't charge. I've been trying to read the specs, and nowhere does it specifically mention that it will charge, just control the zoom and record/take a photo. But I'm also new to this camera/gimbal stuff, so I haven't given up hope yet! :)
Hey Josh, I don’t have a pair of polarizing glasses to test it out. But I don’t recall the screen protector specifically saying anything about polarizing.
I’ve gotten mine lightly sprinkled a couple of times now, once when rain started unexpectedly and once when a dog wagged it’s wet tail all over the lens. Seems to have survived so far. Definitely wouldn’t deliberately use it in rain though
3:16 understandable. The only reason I bought the vlog grip is because the grip is much cheaper to buy with the camera and now I'm trying to sell the grip for profits hehe $_$
@@VicBarry i want to record my travels and learn to take pictures! Vlogging to all the places I travel too! Does the 6400 have good video quality? I want something that is good for videos and pictures
6400 has great video quality. Battery life isn't the best and there's no stabilization, so you'd need a gimbal. ZV-1 might be better suited for travel, but the 6400 has the versatility of being able to use different lenses. Figure out what's important and where you're audience are watching. While there is a difference between the ZV-1 and 6400 (sensor size etc.) most people probably won't notice the difference if they're watching on a phone / tablet. Hope that makes sense
just found this video & tried going to your amazon store & its listing the lens adapter as currently unavailabe & looked around & its out of stock everywhere , do you know if theres any other of lens adapters that will work with this camera ..??

Yes and yes :) An ND Filter (you'll need a 58mm one) will add some extra weight onto something already quite heavy so worth bearing that in mind. I've used the JJC Adapter to mount the Ulanzi as I had it already on for an ND Filter.
@@VicBarry thanks so much Vic... greatly appreciated Brother
HI Vic!! Thanks for all the great vids! Does the small rig fit on your Crane M2?
Hey there. It sure does. Had zero issue with the cage and the crane m2
Hi Vic, love the channel and updates! Is there an underwater rig suitable for the Sony ZV-1 that you could recommend?
H David to be honest, I don't right now. Although given it's size, I wonder would one of the underwater cases for the RX100 series do the job.....
I looked at something about this.. I found 1 suited for the zv1 but did not buy it; cost is about $300 US
also, I have the grip too, I use it all the time. Why don't y'all like it
The grip is fine for what it does but I think it’s overpriced
@@VicBarry agreed..but I figure I paid for it, might as well use it LOL
..if they come out with a remote control, I'd probably pack it away 😆
Hi, great video. Can you show how that adapter and Nd filter works in your next video? What happens when the lens retract or comes out? What is the weight of Nd plus adapter?
Hi Ishan, the adapter is a permanent fixture to the lens. It’s stuck onto the front. Not sure if the weight of the adapter but it’s less than 50 grams. The specific Nd filter I’m using is 50 grams
@@VicBarry Thanks for the quick reply. So what happens to the Nd filter when the camera turns off and the lens is retracted? I also bought this camera recently. Still exploring it.
I just leave the Nd filter on to be honest. The lens adapter comes with a lens cap so I put that on the Nd filter to protect it
You didn’t mention a wide angle adapter to go on that filter ring you fitted. That would enable active mode when required.
Many of the wide angle lens that I've seen so far are pure rubbish, with the exception of one possibility that I should have in a week or two
@@VicBarry I’ve heard of a Sony one that was for the RX100 series (same base lens). I’ll look out for the one you’re trying!
Thanks for the insightful video. Short & sweet! Does that ND filter make the viewing angle wider? or does it help partially with the croping issue? I have a basic idea of what ND filters do, but I had to ask since this rig makes the camera lens look a lot bigger with the lens adapter attached, plus the filter, etc.
Hey Marcelo, so the ND Filter won’t make any difference to the viewing angle. What it does do is reduce the amount of light hitting the sensor so you can get a slower shutter speed. Think of an Nd filter like sunglasses for your camera. And it won’t help with the active steady shot crop either. The best thing for that is a selfie stick or mini tripod so you can get more distance between you and the camera or use a gimbal and then turn off the active steady shot.
The real ultimate ZV-1 camera rig from top to bottom is a FIELD MONITOR mounted on a HANDLE GRIP on top of the RIG which houses the CAMERA with a LIGHT on one side and a MIC on the other side and an EXTERNAL BATTERY CHARGER mounted on the bottom which is further mounted on top of a TRIPOD which when collapsed acts as another HANDLE
Dang. It looked like the SmallRig cage for the ZV1 is out of stock for at least five weeks. That looked like a UK site but I didn't see it at all on Amazon US. I'll keep looking but I wanted you to get the credit.
Thanks Mark, SmallRig do the cage with a handle that might be in stock, worth search for ZV1 on their site. Really appreciate that.
@@VicBarry I'll check it out. Thanks. I did find the original cage on sites in the US but all are backordered. It must be popular...just like your channel.
:)
Vic I just watched another video (A7C) and it was mentioned that they couldn't review catalyst browse because it kept crashing everytime they loaded any clips in to it. Have you had the same trouble with catalyst browse.
Plus - can you fit the wide angle lens you recommended using the smallrig cage.
Hey Mark, I’ve had zero issue with catalyst browse. I reckon that issue you’ve highlighted will probably be fixed by an update to catalyst browse as the A7C is a fairly new camera.
The wide angle absolutely works with the cage 👍
@@VicBarry thanks Vic - great news 👍
Is that small rig stable? It seems like the camera could fall out since the cage doesn’t go all the way around.
It comes with an Allen key and essentially you tighten the cage so it squeezes around the camera. Very secure. Haven’t had any issues
Vic, am I seeing that right? The rig you used as an example in the vid has two mics? I see two furry cover thingies. They're both mics? If so, why two?
Hey there, so the one on top of the camera is the wind muff that comes with the Sony ZV-1. I rarely take it off, the mic on the side is the Saramonic SR-XM1. Either way, the ZV-1 only uses one mic at a time, and if using an external mic, that's the one it'll use to capture audio
@@VicBarry Roger that. Thank you for clarifying.
If you had a choice and you already have a crane M2 gimbal....Would you purchase the Zv1 or would you purchase a larger gimbal Weebill S or Ronin SC to use with Canon and Nikon mirrorless cameras?
I am looking to start a CZcams channel. I have been looking at cameras, starting I want to be on the cheaper side, and was looking at the GoPro9. But you like this better?
Hey Kevin, it all depends on what you’re doing. If it’s all action sports stuff then the GoPro is designed for that. But outside of that the ZV-1 is a better choice I feel. There’s a better, more natural image from it plus it’s incredibly flexible. Don’t get me wrong I love the GoPro 9 it’s great. But for me, personally, I’d stick the ZV-1
Insurance education mostly
Hey Vic! Can you combine the built in ND with an external one?
And have you tried the external one on the wide angle lens?
Yes and yes 🙏
I have a small rig cage too, different than yours, it's an 'L' shaped bracket.. I have found 1 major flaw with it though.. It seems to loosen whilst walking around sometimes. I carry the allen wrench around to tighten when it becomes loose
Do you have that issue with yours?
.. also are you still using the zv1? thought I saw a video you were using something else now. If so, why'd you stop using it
Hey there, haven’t had any issues with the screw loosing on the cage at all. Seems pretty solid.
Yeah. Totally Still using the ZV-1. I shoot most of talking head stuff with a Sony a6600 and have been well before the ZV-1 came out.
@@VicBarry yeah, I've had the zv1 for a couple months now (can't remember when I actually bought it lol) but find I've been using it more than my canon 7d2
Weather here, might have something to do with it too_ cold & snow 😞 Can't wait till spring to get out with both cameras hehe
Thanks for a great vid. I have seen from some other videos that are using adapters and ND filters that there is vignetting when you shoot video and photos at the widest angle. Is this the case with this adapter and ND filter?
Hey there, with this specific adapter there is ZERO vignette 👍
@@VicBarry Great, I'm picking one up. Many thanks for the reply and have a great weekend :-)
Sweet! Let me know how it works out :)
What camera/setup does Vic use for this video?
Sony a6600 with a Sigma 16mm lens
Question? With the cage seeing how it has threads that you can screw on a ND filter, do you think they make a wide angle lens that would screw on the 52mm threads to help with the crop in problem?
There are a few wide angle lens adapters out there but from what I’ve seen they’re all cheap junk that have a noticeable impact on image quality
Vic Barry - how about this one: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/394720-REG/Raynox_HD_6600PRO_52_HD_6600PRO52_52mm_0_66x_Wide.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=CjwKCAjwtNf6BRAwEiwAkt6UQndSGwOLh6RsjlyyrqChnGxVxVk2VfuzP7AdeT2hAKhDXum2rVU-uhoCrMAQAvD_BwE
Vic Barry - check out this CZcams vid, I went ahead and ordered this wide angle lens made for Lumix: czcams.com/video/rv98we1orV8/video.html
Water and Land Adventures - the vid I linked also has a quality comparison with a cheap lens which explains what Vic is talking about. The Lumix lens seems legit though - will try when I get it!
Hey Michael, great video. That’s an awesome find. It’s still a bit soft around the edges but compared to the other so called adapters it’s leaps and bounds ahead. The weight would be a big concern though
I’ve watched this video a few times, but did I miss you talking about the lens adapter?🤔
Just at the 2 minute mark.
Need to get that mic 🎤 👍🏼
It’s the best purchase I’ve made for any camera in a long time. 🙏
@@VicBarry mine should arrive tomorrow :)
Hey have you compared the small rig cage, there is another one wooden on the side.. why this is your preferred cage? Thanks buddy! Hello from 🇸🇬
Hey there, I'm not a big fan of that wooden look to be honest
Is there a similar camera to this that does 60fps 4k? I mean one with the same features. I assume it's better to have all 60fps video for editing rather than mixing 30 and 60 right? Though I heard it still apparently works quite well if the project is set to 30fps when doing that.
At this size and price point, not unless you look at the GoPro 9 or DJI pocket 2. You can easily mix 30p and 60p footage. I mix different frame rates all the time without issue.
@@VicBarry If mixing 30p and 60p then the 60p video has to drop frames since it would then be rendered at 30fps, does this not add any stutter? Curious for those who capture game footage along with extra video of themselves, so i guess it's either they use 1080p 60, a more expensive camera to capture 4k 60, or they record themselves at 30fps and also drop frames of recorded game footage or record that also at 30fps.
@@VicBarry Also when capturing video from a computer, do you think they capture at camera frame rates and not at whole 30 and 60 numbers for editing it along with video shot from a camera? Like 29.97 and 59.94? Wondering how much difference that makes. Thanks for answering by the way.
@@VicBarry Yeah the Osmo Pocket 2 looks good, not as good lowlight video with that though! Pro's and cons and all that
Hi sir can you please tell me the best settings for tiktok , resolution and frames plz igot the zv1 today
Hey Vic, I’m using zhyiun Crane M2 for Vlog. Is this case heavyweight?
Hey Rodolpho, no absolutely not. Bought an M2 last week and it works flawlessly with it
I'm using the M2 as well, it's working out great with the SmallRig cage. The only thing that would be even better with this combo is if I could get the gimbal to power the ZV-1. Then just charge the gimbal when it's low, instead of having to take off the camera to change out the battery and re-balance it.
Sweet. Does that not work? I have tried it yet....the other usb on the crane is designed to send power as far as I know.....
@@VicBarry I bought the Zhiyun to Sony cable, and either it's a faulty cable, or it doesn't charge. I've been trying to read the specs, and nowhere does it specifically mention that it will charge, just control the zoom and record/take a photo. But I'm also new to this camera/gimbal stuff, so I haven't given up hope yet! :)
Vic and Roadside, I’ll use it with side 1/4” M2. It’s probably perfect. www.amazon.com/PG-6-6000mAh-Battery-Camcorders-Smartphones/dp/B01FL37CGK
what's the difference between set focus and focus standard?
Set focus allows you to dial in the focal length
2:19 - You had to stick that on with adhesive??
Yeah. It’s a sticker on the adapter. Hasn’t come off yet 👀
Also Vic, did the screen protector solve the polarized sunglasses screen black out. From what I can see some do and some don't?
Hey Josh, I don’t have a pair of polarizing glasses to test it out. But I don’t recall the screen protector specifically saying anything about polarizing.
Here's a Sony ZV1 Playlist you should find helpful ... strammel.info/zv1pl
I put a variable in the filter on mine but the focus is incredibly slow if I'm panning a landscape most of it is out of focus. Any ideas?
OK Vic, what was that little mic again? 😁
Hey Mark, it's the Saramonic SR-XM1 ( amzn.to/31F9BC9 )
@@VicBarry thank you. Going to get one on order off your links 👍
Thank you Mark. Appreciate the support.
Doesn't the CAGE + Tripod fall off?? Because of the Weight?
Hey again Duke. Nope. Everything works perfectly.
Has anybody used the ZV-1 out in rain, just wondering how weather sealed it is.
Hey there, it’s not weather sealed at all
I’ve gotten mine lightly sprinkled a couple of times now, once when rain started unexpectedly and once when a dog wagged it’s wet tail all over the lens. Seems to have survived so far. Definitely wouldn’t deliberately use it in rain though
Always hand to have a soft cloth in the pocket
Can anyone let me know how wide the camera is with the screen open? Also how wide it is open with the small rig cage on? Cheers!
Hey there, as in actual width in cm?
@@VicBarry Yes please!
3:16 understandable. The only reason I bought the vlog grip is because the grip is much cheaper to buy with the camera and now I'm trying to sell the grip for profits hehe $_$
Ha! Yeah, I got a deal on it as well, but to be honest, I don't think it's worth that.
Is the manfrotto mini tripod the PIXI mini ?
Hey Dianna, sure is
Awesome. Thanks !
Sony should make a ZV-1 with an ultra wide lens it will solve the main problem
Maybe the next one will have a wider lens?
@@VicBarry yeah i hope so i will definitely buy one
Can't decide between zv1 or a6400 😩
Hey Dominic, what are you planning on doing? Both are great but suited a bit differently depending on what your doing
@@VicBarry i want to record my travels and learn to take pictures! Vlogging to all the places I travel too! Does the 6400 have good video quality? I want something that is good for videos and pictures
6400 has great video quality. Battery life isn't the best and there's no stabilization, so you'd need a gimbal. ZV-1 might be better suited for travel, but the 6400 has the versatility of being able to use different lenses. Figure out what's important and where you're audience are watching. While there is a difference between the ZV-1 and 6400 (sensor size etc.) most people probably won't notice the difference if they're watching on a phone / tablet. Hope that makes sense
@@VicBarry awesome brother! Thank you so much for the info! Gracias much love 🕉🙏👌
just found this video & tried going to your amazon store & its listing the lens adapter as currently unavailabe & looked around & its out of stock everywhere , do you know if theres any other of lens adapters that will work with this camera ..??
Hey there.Not sure to be honest. Have you tried Ulanzi direct?
nope, not sure how to contact Ulanzi directly not sure what country they are in ( as i'm in Aus ) Hence The Username ( Hint ..Hint )
They are out. I can't get them anymore.
Великолепно!!!👍😀
Thank you
The ND filter setup requires glue I think. Not cool.
Nope. It comes with a 3M sticker that hasn’t budged since I put it on
Tell us what you really think of the vlogging grip
Pretty sure I broke it after that throw 🤪
How are ya vic
Great. You?
@@VicBarry great found úr chanel lookin up breakfast roll
Loool first dislike 😂😂
