How to Clean Your Mirrorless Camera Sensor
Просмотров 5722 года назад
If you own a mirrorless camera like the a7iii, a7iv, a7siii, etc, you NEED to watch this video! I often see people with dirty sensors and, if you're not careful, it can ruin an entire job. When I purchased my first camera (Sony a7sii) I struggled with keeping the sensor clean - but that is a problem no more! If you want to learn how to clean your camera's sensor quickly and easily, then sit bac...

Why Do DJI Drones Have So Many Problems?
Просмотров 352 года назад
I've been a longtime DJI user. I started off with the original Mavic Pro, and since then I've owned the Mavic Air, Mavic Air 2, and Mavic Pro 2. While these flying cameras are amazing pieces of technology, they are definitely not cheap - my Mavic 2 Pro package cost about $1,800 when I purchased it. Over the last few years I started to notice many people complaining online that they were having ...
Why You Shouldn't Use MusicBed (Use This Instead)

DJI MAVIC AIR 2 Unboxing & Test Footage vs. MAVIC 2 PRO

In this video, I unbox the new Mavic Air 2 and take it for its first flight. I also compare it with the Mavic 2 Pro, and discuss the benefits of each. All drone footage was shot with the standard DJI picture profile, and has only basic color correction (exposure, white balance, etc). I am a Part 107 licensed remote pilot and received proper authorization to fly in this airspace. Fly safely out ...
Zhiyun Weebill Lab + Sony G Master 16-35 2.8 (HEAVY LENS!)
Просмотров 19 тыс.5 лет назад
Today, I'm answering ONE question: Should you buy the Zhiyun Weebill Lab to use with a full frame camera and heavy lens (like the GM 16-35 2.8)? The Weebill Lab might be great for small camera setups, like crop bodies or with lightweight prime lenses, but can it handle a heavier rig? Zhiyun rates the max weight at 6.6lbs and claims that the a7iii GM 16-35 2.8 can be used, but that may be questi...

Would you recommend it as an EDC-Bag for Non-Photographers living im the city?
THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG
So I've been using the PRVKE that I just got really recently, 31L, and it's both deceptively big and small. I can pack out the camera cube without much issue at all but the roll top feels like an endless void. The bag is pretty heavy even empty so packed out it's pretty intense. I do like how it cinches down a lot to be a good EDC bag with the cube coming out of the bag easily and. I wish it was easier to access things when the bag is held open but it is nice overall. I do need to keep a flashlight offhand though to see inside the bag when backstage since it isn't a high vis interior
Be careful if you buy the backpack in Australia as spare parts are not stocked. I lost chest band as shown in the video, and WNDRD was $5 used to replace and $100 USD to post! Outrageous, find a better supplier because the chest strap is easily lost!
I love mine so far and I's recommend the hip belt (although it would be nice if it were Capture-compatible on both sides). More than large enough for two MFT bodies (Lumix G9 with battery grip and G9M2) plus six lenses covering 12-800mm EFL and everything else I need. I actually use side access (like a sling) as I can change lenses without removing the pack. As a designer, I also happen to think it's the most attractive pack out there (especially in Midnight blue), so obviously that's subjective. In any case, as you say, it doesn't scream "camera gear inside!"
I was interested in the musicbed, so I searched it and it helped me a lot. Thank you.
I used them for a few months and now a couple years down the line I'm getting multiple strikes on my videos. Ridiculous!!!
This is exactly the problem!
I purchased one song from them. No subscription, just the single song. They let you download it once and that's it! I originally downloaded my song in mp3 and wanted to try out the other formats to see if there was any difference quality and discovered I cannot download my purchased song again!
I just got this backpack and I got it for my two week Thailand trip so I can have a “smallish” bag that can handle my Canon 5D Mark IV and two to three lenses. Wow! I’m writing this and listening to your review and just heard you live in Thailand! Looking forward to my trip and choosing this bag over the Nomatic McKinnon 25L which is too big IMO. Being in Thailand, you know that flying domestically in-country, the airlines have a 15lb restriction for a carry-on, crazy! So I got a Nanuk 935 case for my lenses, tripod, batteries and chargers, and I’ll just check it; camera will go with me in my backpack and then I’ll transition everything to my backpack while on land. Thanks for your review.
Hope you have an awesome time! Also you might want to check out my other channel youtube.com/@onenightinbangkok_
Really great video! I thinking of selling my PM Everyday 25L bag and switching to wandrd prvke 31 for an "everyday" bag. Already got PM Travel bag is I need alot of gear.
Instead of subscribing I just paid 70 euros for 1 song. I never had to link it to a channel and they told me it's forever. That's what you could also do for the important stuff at least.
Unfortunately still run into issues with them. Constantly having to "re-clear" songs that were already licensed, etc
Very criminal way to run their business. Almost feels like your held at gun point to keep spending money with them and if you don't, all your efforts are lost. I will never return to them.
Question: you say both backpacks are water resistant but the BOTTOM of the Wandrd is NOT. I've read reviews on their page with pictures showing the contents being damaged because the bag was set down on wet ground and it soaked all the way through the internal padding. So have they changed that?
if i only use it for clothes and things for traveling (no cameras) Do you think there is enough space for carry 7 days of clothes? I love this because can work for travelling and every day rather than the travelling that looks bigger for everyday pack.
How comfortable is the bag in the hot humid weather? Does your back get all sweaty wet?
I can confidently say this is the most comfortable camera bag I've used - even in the hot weather here in Thailand.
This is such an underrated video. Thank you for your honesty and for saving me $300+ in musicbed
278 subscribers? Seriously? These are some of the best shot and edited reviews I've seen on RUclips. Extremely professional and super informative. No idea why you don't have awful lot more subs
Appreciate the comment but I'm genuinely not sure if you're serious 😅 I haven't really focused much on this channel (I have another one about my life in Thailand - youtube.com/@theendlessvoyage
I was absolutely serious. Good content - very underappreciated. But then that being said, there is a 10 second short on RUclips which is just a grainy shot of a sea lion that appears to let out a large fart. Imaginatively Titled, 'sea lion farting' it has amassed some 34m views so far so perhaps subscriber/ view count doesn't necessarily reflect quality 🙄
I was pushing for the Nomatic bag but just stumbled onto the Wandrd bag. I’m definitely stuck between the two!
I would definitely have loved having those extra pockets in this backpack, like you mentioned. These missing pockets were really the only things I didn't prefer about this back, compared to the 21L version. I would have been happy to pay a bit more to have them included. However, it is still a really nice backpack!
Kind of hard to see, reviewing a black backpack on a dimly lit table. It looks like you were just touching and moving around a silhouette of a backpack lol. I mean the lighting behind you was so strong it was casting shadows on the table! You were reviewing on the darkside of the table my guy
Great video! may i ask - why you did not choose the 41L? I am confuse if i'm gonna get the 41 or the 31 liters. Looking forward to your answer.
The 41L is just so enormous. I’m not a bit guy (5’7”) so it’s just way too big for me.
Are the devideres attached to the back or only the sides? Do they have velcro to be fixed on the bottom?
i think its small cube? my sigma 35 and 85 f1.4 dn dg art fit in cube? or not recommened it?
Without any stuff on it. It is sad.
Have you tried bringing it on a plane as a personal item bag?
Yes no problem.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION!
Deciding beetwen the 31 and 21. Is the 31l too big to bring on a plane cabin?
I’ve done it no problem but technically I think it’s too big so if the airline wants to be a pain it MIGHT be an issue but it hasn’t been a problem in my experience.
Enjoyed the review. The amazon link leads to Peak Design bag hmm.
Mosy of these annual contracts are scams. Yhis is why I prefer to use RUclips
Have you had any issues with the Prvke 31L for traveling as a personal item or for fitting it under the seat? Thank you!
Great review, as I was debating on which backpack would fit my unique needs. I'm able to make a more informed decision based on this review. Quick question on all day comfort for the PRVKE 31L. Some reviewers have mentioned that back padding on the V2 design still does not allow enough airflow, which causes their backs to be more sweat-prone. Have you found that to be an issue?
Thanks for watching. In my opinion, the Prvke v2 has the best airflow of any camera bag I’ve ever owned so I’m not sure why others would say that 🤷♂️
I had the "original" version of Prvke 21L. And switched to PM x Nomatic everyday bag. To me personally, PM backpack is a clear winner. The biggest issue I had with Prvke was the "secret pocekt(Passport pocket) on the back panel. It looks like they changed the back panel design. But, the original version had upside down "U" shaped passport pocket, and the zipper slider iwas located in the worst position. Like, 90% of the time when I put the backpack on, the zipper slider hit the nerve spot on small of the back and it's REALLY painful, so painful you'd stop breathing for a few seconds. THAT alone is enough (for me, personally) to stop using it. Another thing is the bag doesn't stand up straight on its own. If it were designed like Peak Design everyday backpack or LowePro ProTactic (that are NEVER going to stand up), it's actually better. Because it (Prvke) sometimes stands up, you put the bag down on the ground, thinking it will be standing there. You take your eyes off, then, moments later, it's laying down on the ground. The loops on the shoulder straps are useless. So are the side pocket. (Better get sling bag if you need that kinda function). It was definitely (way more) uncomfortable than PM backpack when it's loaded.
i done the same thing fully expecting to commit to a year. once the year was up i tried to cancel. but you can only request to cancel within a certain period. I did not know this. As i wanted to cancel the day before the renewal, i was too late and was FORCED to commit to another year. I didn't make the same mistake the year after and had successfully prized myself away from the grip they had on me. As you say, not honest and very bad business practice. Abit scummy in my opinion. 1 month later after attempting to find songs on Lickd, epidemic sound, soundstrip, artlist, etc.. im actually looking to sign back up with musicbed, as much as it PAINS me to do so. They have the monopoly on what i need so unfortunately i dont see any other way for me just now and have to continue paying the outrageous price every month for another year. Saying all that, after I finished my subscription, all the music that I have licensed during my sub period has remained online and I have had no issues with the videos.
Incredible review. Let’s crank up those subs dude
Thank you so much
and what if you make a promo video for a client who wants to put it on their channel. Not good.
about musicbed: fully agree/ about soundstripe: now unfortunatly with creator licence, they are locking you to one channel and pro version is double the price... a bit to much for me.
Thanks for all the info. I’ve been thinking about buying this bag. Do you know how it fits under airport seats? Also, is the outer material scratch resistant? Thanks
Yes, it fits under airport seats no problem (unless of course you fully load the top roll section). As far as scratch resistance, I would say this is a bit subjective as almost any bag develops some marks over the time you're using it. With this bag, I find that it's pretty easy to clean/wipe off so it's not really a problem.
Wow, glad I didn’t get into bed with Musicbed! Thank you!!
Sounds like you’re cheap and don’t care about composers getting paid for their hard work. Just another perspective….
Not sure if you watched the whole video, but the real problem I was trying to highlight was the lack of transparency from musicbed. The terms were not clear at all - to the point that they may have been intentionally confusing in order to elicit one year plans from people like me who otherwise would have canceled after a few months.
Lol, I’ve actually switched from prvke to zip
🤣
Thank you for this excellent comparison! I have the Nomatic McKinnon 25L Camera Pack with Divider Kit, for use with a Nikon Z system. I pretty much concur with most of your points about the McKinnon bag, especially the lack of small external storage pockets, and the functional color choice of the interior for locating one's gear in darker environments. One I might also mention the lack of load lifter straps on the shoulder straps. I think that these would greatly aid in the comfort of the McKinnon, especially when loaded with heavy gear. Does the WANDRD have load lifter straps? Also, no pockets on the shoulder straps, like some other bags have. Thanks again for the awesome comparsion!
Thanks for watching. The Prvke does not have load lifter straps, however, the straps are a bit more robust and comfortable to begin with.
@@AlchemyVisualyoutube Thank you for this information! I look forward to checking out the PRVKE as well.
Update: I did get the PRVKE 21L Camera Backpack, and totally agree with you that the straps are supremely comfortable when the bag is filled with gear! The overall construction is top-notch, and I like the external pockets for small items, something that the McKinnon unfortunately lacks. The only thing about the PRVKE side access flap is that it's just a bit too narrow to accommodate the height of a Nikon Z8, though a smaller body would certainly fit it. That said, both these bags are excellent. Thanks again for your superb video!
@@stevetqp9152 Thanks for the update!
thx
I had an issue with the mavic air 2 , first of all the drone would lose signal when i would be around 1 km away , then I found out that the remote just stop working out of nowhere and that the issue was coming from there, impossible to turn it on anymore I had to send it to DJI , and I had to pay about a 100 € to get it fixed.. it was always well stored, never fell or being not taking care of.. the replacement should be free.. I am not buying DJI ever again after that drone, even if their quality gets better because this is inacceptable to sell expensive product with cheap quality.
Yea I agree. The Lite would be great would those things!
Is that plate 50mm?
In Bangkok, do you know where can i find a demo of these 2 backpacks to try? I can find peak design bags in every shops but not these 2.
Great video, keep creating 📸📸
Thanks!
I also own the PRVKE, granted it being the 21L. The backpack itself is cool but I'm always concerned about the straps being sewed not to the pack itself but to the back padding itself.
I also thought about this but honestly I’ve packed this thing out and it seems rock solid.
Thank you so much for this information, almost got myself into Musicbed!
