Awesome review Matt! It is worth mentioning that a powerbank's rated capacity is never equal to its the actual capacity. That happens for many reasons that have to do with energy conversion efficiency, heat losses, residual charge etc. That is why you should not divide the powerbank's capacity with the capacity of the battery you are charging in order to figure out the full charge cycles (in your example 12400 / 2280 = ~5 charges). There are many articles explaining this online and it happens for all powerbanks. Btw the amazon product page already mentions that this powerbank can be used to fully charge 2.5 Sony batteries which is closer to the 2 charges you mention. This is something I also learned recently and I thought to share :)

Second video I’ve watched I really like the way you show your images and self analysis them also I love light camera gear I have a74 70 200 lens and am wieghing up my whole approach I traded in my Fuji X P ro 2 for this and take way less photos which is why this video was so interest in you have a new subscriber thank you Matt

The Sony RX1 was the beginning of the fight against Leica. Sony is winning. JT

It looks right indeed. JT

No need to look like a leica knock off.

1.8 aperture is very artistic, but I usually shot around 3 or 4.

How do you do it in a moving shot?

informative video! (the music maybe the volume or type of music i felt was distracting, maybe just me)

Thank you for your honest opinion. I've had mine for 2 days and the same thing happens to me with the battery capacity. I thought it would last about 5 full charges, but it doesn't. That's why I'm going to return it.

The background « music » is a nuisance.

Sold!

As a Canon User, i'm highly considering this camera and a 40mm / 50mm for my everyday camera etc. Sadly Canon hasn't released something like this.

Hello! and thank you so much for this supremely detailed video from a pro singer-songwriter-composer who's just invested in a Lumix S5IIX, DJI RS4 Pro Combo, Panny L-mount S Pro 16-35mm, S 24-105mm and 35mm prime for shooting full live song performances in the studio and on stage (with 3 other cameras). I've been searching for this exact type of info on what bits to acquire/how to build a switchable rig like you have! One thing I wondered about that Matte Box Smallrig securing clamp: you must be using internal mechanism zoom lenses yes? so their physical length remain the same? Both my zoom lenses extend externally so I wouldn't be able to secure the Matte box the way you have... are all your zooms internal types? If not perhaps you have an alternate way you have discovered to secure the Matte box when using conventional zoom lenses?

Love the video, I actually opted for the A7C R instead over the A7C ll and I’m happy I did. I had enough trade I picked it up for a great deal. For me I really don’t see too much and an issue using bigger lens on the compact body. But that’s just my preference since I like shooting at 75mm and 85mm. I like compression in my photos.

Hi Matt, great demo video! Since only the 3.5l and 10L were used in the demo, do you think I can fit A7RV (with 35/1.4 GM attached) plus a 24/1.4 GM (or a 20/1.8G) and Sigma 85/1.4 DG DN into a 7L?

Bit frustrating. Why don't you want us to see the whole bag?

Was the exam multiple choice

Hold a Leica once and you know there is no such thing as a Leica killer.

Where did you go to take your part 107 exam?

Best / most helpful review on this bag (and there a lot). This is a must-have, just can’t decide on 3.5 or 7

I like it and what a great honest review for this EDC Sling for such an awesome price!! But for the price I don't think we can get more options, but I do like the improvements you mention would help the bag, even if the price would go up a little I would still buy it!!!

the first one isn't really a problem but a marketing clip lol I have my Benro mounting plates they never come off and camera is well balanced plus more support if you keep lens attached.

LEGEND!!!!!! LETS GO

I am looking for something like this. Is there anything more pancaky for A7IV`?

Does it fit with iPad mini7?

Thank you so much for sharing our llano camera battery charger！😄

Don't buy this light! It is just problem. NIce features, nice quality of the chassi, but .... crappy electronics and LED lights! The temperature changes when you change the intensity. 5600K becomes 6400K when you go from 100% to 10%. Not stable, not that great as all markereting from GVM will tell you through all influenser that get the light for free! It is a marketing thing. It is the old light that had trouble with electronics, in a new, shiny chassi! If you return the light, you will wait 6 weeks or more for GVM to return your money.

You mention that the apature ring can be clicked or de-clicked. are you sure about that? EDIT: You are right! I just checked. Great video. thank you!

Thankyou so much you have done a great job.... lots of love from pakistan....

Just wanted to punch in a someone with a kind of longer-term perspective (in a couple of ways). I’ve been shooting the X100 line for nearly seven years (six with the F and half a year or so with the VI) and I really feel like it’s not an ideal camera for beginners. That is, unless you’re willing to treat it like a beginner camera as if you were learning photography on a “proper” camera in the 1970s or 80s. I say this because I grew up shooting with a fully manual SLR and really wondered (before I got the F) why anyone would want to go back to a camera with all those old-fangled dials-aperture, shutter speed, and so on. That is, until I tried the X100F. The muscle memory of dialing in exposure with the aperture ring and shutter speed dial were so hard-wired that it felt natural in a way that other cameras did not, with their front and rear command dials, etc. It just made sense. But these days, people are used to modern cameras and their conveniences, such as full-auto modes, snappy auto focus, and so on. So, I wouldn’t really expect a new shooter to want to learn how to dial in exposure and nail focus manually when they could instead just be out enjoying the act of taking pictures. That said, the “sub-par” autofocus Fuji offers doesn’t really bother me. I almost never use continual AF mode and try to set up so that I can nail focus pretty reliably on the fly. Like you, I don’t really like the focus ring throw; it’s focus-by-wire and feels nothing like a mechanical focusing lens. So, I set the rear command dial (which you can customize as a button) to AF-lock and use it for back-button focus in manual focus mode. That’s my compromise if I’m not shooting AF-S. I obtain focus that is either precise or close to what I want, then I can adjust manually from there. But secretly I yearn of getting a Voigtländer 28mm F2 for my X-T3 to take me back to those manual focus days. I think there is something said for having to slow down and be more intentional these days. As for the adapter rings, I hear ya-but actually I ended up a number of years ago putting a lens hood on the camera and leaving it there. The lens is so stubby that it’s just hard to hold the camera properly if you learned traditional holding/bracing technique. Having a hood gives me a bit of extra real estate to work with, so to speak, and it feels more like an old SLR with a 35 mm lens. I use the Haoge round hood that has a built-in UV filter because it doesn’t add that much length to the lens-for me, anyway. Plus, it has a 52mm filter thread at the front on which I can put a black mist or other filter. Kind of the best of both worlds, in a way. One final thing is the power switch: I’d never thought about it but probably turned it on a number of times when putting it in my bag. But that never bothered me because I have the power settings to shut off after 2 minutes, so I don’t drain the battery. I think it may also depend on what kind of bag you use and the orientation you stow it. If I lay the camera sideways in my bag (e.g., so that the grip faces up), then I’m more likely to accidentally flip the switch. But if I’m using a smaller bag in which I can store the camera vertically with the lens facing the front, then I don’t have that problem-at least as far as i know. It just seems like a non-issue to me. What’s more of an issue to me-and I promise this will address one of the points you rightly mentioned-is that the front and rear command dials are not as firm as they are on my X-T3. I have my front dial set for ISO (so I don’t have to play with that fiddly old-school ISO sub-dial that is oh-so-reminiscent of the Pentax Spotmatic I learned on) and it’s all too easy to bump the dial and throw it out of my selected ISO. Far too often I’ve accidentally shot at ISO 51200 because I knocked the dial out of my auto ISO-1 setting. By the way-and I apologize if you and/or your viewers already are aware of this-but you can obviate the shutter speed problem you mention by setting you three auto ISO settings with different minimum shutter speeds. Probably not as ideal as what you could do on your Sony, but then again Fuji menus are pretty awful and often quite unintuitive. Oh - if you do use the front dial for ISO, I’d recommend setting the ISO and then setting the top ISO dial to A to lock the front dial until you want to change ISO again. (You have to set the top dial to C to use the front command dial for ISO.) In practice, I’m just using three auto ISO settings based on light conditions and don’t change them that much.

I guess nothing on weather

Thanks to this video, I have ordered the 2 liter in black, I have the same 7c and 40 lens, keep it up! excellent content!

WOTANCRAFT keeps releasing great stuff! Be sure to watch until the end of the video to learn about the Holiday Gift Program they have going on right now!

Are you F’n kidding me? I just bought a 3.5L with all the modules they had. So pissed now. 😡🤬 Should have waited a couple of weeks.

Good video, helps cover off what Wotancraft really should explain better on their website. I have the pilot 7l and a couple of the original pouches, neither of which I use, but these new smaller ones are definitely worth a look. Not a huge fan of the patch functionality though…I ain’t a kid anymore.

Love my 3.5L and 7L Pilot bags... Thanks for the info...

Hope you found the video useful! Let me know if I missed anything! Thanks for watching

Thanks mucho. My camera shop says they can order them now, and I can get it it in a month or two. Yay - but now I have to really be sure it will be as good as I hope. Thanks for pointing out the bad, along with the good.

Thank you for the review! Do you whink a Sony a6600 with a Sigma 18-50mm (without hood) will fit sideways in the 2l bag as does your a7c with the 40mm (you have a hood on right?)?

As for me, w/in 24 hours of receiving mine, I noticed a dust on the sensor that never came off even after multiple sensor cleaning. Returned it right away. Waiting for my replacement. X100vi is a very nice camera but there is no way of cleaning the sensor physically. Attach a filter right away.

What would you think about the cropping emulation when using an A7CR?

Stupid title... why would one camera kill another....😂

nice video. where u get this wallet?

I love my a7c mk. 2! I was looking for the 24mm f2.8 but all stocks had gone so I went with a zoomie Sigma 28-70 f2.8 to cover my bases. For street, I use the Viltrox 20mm f2.8 and 28mm f4.5 pancake. Super handy setup for cheap!

Are there any 3rd party lens hoods that can be flipped around and stored on the lens itself? Great review!

Thank you for honest review. Did you sell your sony or do you keep both? What sony did you use?

Great video! I feel you on the shutter button turning on/off a little too easily. But it’s manageable so long as you’re careful when taking it out of a bag (especially since I have a soft shutter button). I also found that Reggie’s Portra is the best recipe to get a really beautiful SOOC pic without worrying about the slow clarity processing.

I ordered it, but if it sucks, I’m coming back to let you know lol

Note Viltrox released a new firmware that's meant to reduce the focus hunting in low light, subjectively it seems better but I didn't do an A/B test.

Great review. Good thing you're not an electrical engineer.
