I bought a cheap $20 camera bag when I first got into photography and I was in a motorbike crash and the bag went flying across the pavement at 30mph and none of my gear was damaged so cheap isn't always bad
I gotta try this $20 camera bag! What brand and how do I find it?

Unsure if it’s the intended purpose, but recording an outdoor wedding ceremony, the umbrella actually keeps the a7iv from overheating! Very opposite of rain, but it’s a good sun shade!

I think the umbrella is supposed to be a light modifier, the inside is silvered. But, everywhere I've seen it advertised it's been shown keeping rain off cameras.
Man i actually used the little umbrella but to protect my camera from the sun, when you are working at desertic town and you are under the sun it helps keeping it cool, and also i helps to see what you are recording in the little screen, it helps when you are recording at a fix location and you can't move to the shadows.
The prism effects filter looks good, if you are in to that sort of creativity, it could be a winner. It is not like some of the other purchases that pose a risk to your equipment.
I kinda agree. I think its grown on me. The only issue I have the lens is simply that the effect is just too much. Maybe I haven't spent enough time with it? Maybe it's an upcoming video, you'll have to stick around to find out🤔🤔
I bought 3 products from Temu. I got a $4 reflector, a universal camera grip and a backdrop. Out of the 3, I find I used the backdrop the most, but the grip has the best quality.
Oooh!! I'd love to see if I can get my hands on some of those products! How do you find the backdrop? What are the pros and cons of the products you bought?
@advntrswithmarley this backdrop, I don't remember the exact details of it, I believe I bought it for $40 all together. It included two 2 meter stands and an adjustable bar on the top to place the backdrops. It also came with 4 clamps, and 3 colors backdrops that do feel very cheap. The stands are metal, but they feel like they can bend easily.
@@prose4ever Do you see yourself using them everyday (or are you using it everyday)? Is it a purchase you don't regret? Personally, thinking about investing in a backdrop, but can't justify the cost, since it's not really something I use at all. I don't see it fitting into my work flow.
@advntrswithmarley I find it useful, and I have been using it more than once. As an entry-level backdrop, it does a really good job but I will look into purchasing a better one in the near future.
@@prose4ever That's some insane value to know. If it can't be stable or reliable when you need it, it's probably not a good purchase. I shall steer clear!
That's not how you clean a sensor. First, hold the camera with the sensor facing down, use the blower to blow as much of the dirt as possible from the sensor (having the sensor facing down reduces the possibility of dust falling back in it) Then you put sensor cleaning liquid on the swab and clean the sensor in one steady motion with some pressure (just a bit) Repeat if necessary with a new swab. Doing it just like that is absolutely wrong man, you can scratch it with the dust/dirt particles😅
You're right. There was a reason I was using not so expensive, yet still expensive cameras. But you're absolutely right. Do NOT emulate what I've done. In my own defense though, how would you have seen me clean the sensor if I didn't show you. This is RUclips, where people can say what they want, and you just gotta trust the random person on the internet. 🤣
The harness can be dangerous…trust me. I used a cheap harness at a festival and it started to fall apart. And the screw came loose mutiple times (lucky that the extra safety did not break) but the ribbons that holds the harness together started to fly out…
@@advntrswithmarley luckily I checked everything frequintly just because I did not trust it. Now I’m just going with a strap from peakdesign and a harness which is so much better and safer. It’s just scary because you don’t notice it being unscrewed…
@@JayLensphotography I know what you mean. There's often a reason reputable businesses charge what they do, sure, you might be out of pocket for a week or two, but you get the reassurance that it's not just a quality product, but a proven and tested product.
I wouldnt say Temu are bad. I have had things that are very good quality & price. I see stuff on Temu for cheap & the exact same product on Amazon is 5 times the price.
I can see that. I personally think they're a more reliable version of Wish. I've yet to have a package arrive late OR actually not be sent. Wish has burnt me a few times 😂 But their business practises are... questionable.
@ I bought a head shaver from Temu for £12 the same one is on Amazon for £35. I did buy a 512gb micro SD card for £4 I put it in my reader and it said 512gb then took it out and it fell apart in my fingers. But Temu are great with refunds no messing and instant.
I use the umbrella, I use with a small lens such as the pentax 18-50 pancake. the gears weather resistant but in light rain it can stop the lens getting drops on it every few seconds when doing a long exposure, its useless for a lens like that though. were talking panasonic 14mm f2.5 etc for this but ofcoarse temu will act like it works good for anything
See, I thought that at first as well. But it doesn't move far enough back to provide adequate sun block. It only just covers the screen. You could be on the money though. Sounds plausible.
I will never buy anything from Temu, but the thing is, even with a 200€ harness, the quality will almost be the same, the big brand just use their reputation for making money (just see all the peak design thing. i won't spend 70€ for a neoprene strap with a plastic injected quick release). I'm more and more considering making that sort of thing myself...
Honestly. Same. I've always been a DIY kinda dude, if I can make it or do it myself, i'll do it. Upskill and just learn something new. Let me know how you get along with making it yourself, if you do. Would be coool to see the progress! Have you had any experience with an expensive branded harness or strap though?
@@advntrswithmarley unfortunately, no. And that why I didn't ordered the leather yet. I need to borrow one to see what's working and what's not. I'm not opposed to improvisation, but their is no point if I end up with a bad design.
the running test with the harness was giving me so much stress. Got me all scared! For something like that I wouldn't trust temu quality harness with my gear. My gear is my baby I wouldn't want to risk it.
I got into Temu to help a relative and received a lot of relatively junk gear for free and a few other oddments for about $50. Some of the free stuff is usable. I might see if I can get $5 for the free mobile phone tripod when I next venture onto Facebook Marketplace, and I got a set of screwdriver bits -- small Phillips, Torx etc -- which I will no doubt find a use for. What I did get in the paid for lot were a filter step up ring and a variable ND filter, both of which do what I'd expect. I have very little use for an ND filter, so it was worth getting one that works for only a few dollars. I moved house a couple of years ago, and, in the process of packing, found a Vivitar digital camera which looked so ghastly I didn't even try it out. Fixed focus, micro screen, probably only takes MMC cards anyway. It's sad that Vivitar has declined so much. From memory they made usable lenses in the 1970s and 80s on a par with the kit lenses you'd get today: reasonable glass in a plastic body. The biggest problem was plastics technology: it could get brittle and something could break or jam inside. I love the bellbirds.
That Vivitar story is sad to hear. Some of their earlier stuff was really great from what I've been told and searched around online. I actually own one of their wide angle/macro adapters and it's insane. I love it. But when you can't keep up with trends... Well thats it.
Oh that's awesome that it's reliable so far! What do you feel could be better about it and what are some pros and cons about it? Its been pointed out that I put it on upside down before 😂 Can't win em' all now can I?
It's something that just makes sense for me. It ain't for everyone, but almost everywhere I go, I've got a camera with me, either in my bag or in my car. If I'm honest, partly as a social crutch because anxiety, but you don't NEED it, use your phone!
Off topic things are my favourite things 😂Totally agree! The a300 is something special. I can't quite pin it, but it just is. Very stoked someone else gets it too!
@advntrswithmarley yeah. I am glad you showed why we need to buy quality. People have said you are biased but if they want to buy cheap and destroy their equipment then that's fine. I am just glad that you actually showed how awful cheap products are. Some things are okay but you still miss quality.
@@daryl0063 I whole heartedly agree and cheers for not saying I'm biased. I ain't trying to be 😂 When buying from a reputable brand, you get a confirmation, a reassurance that time has been invest. Not just shelving out for the sake of it. Although you can be bit in the ass for it, it's less likely to happen. You get what you pay for. Sometimes it's good, others not so much.
@advntrswithmarley exactly. You are doing a good job don't worry. If people get hurt because you share an honest review that is fine. I don't read comments like that. I see too many new photographers buy a good camera and a crappy lens. Not exactly what you should do but if people don't want to listen, okay then. You are doing an outstanding job so don't worry.
It might look like every other harness you've seen but it certainly didn't feel like a quality harness. Ultimately I've left it up to you to decide whether you want to invest in the products in this video or not.
😂🤣 Cheers for the sub homie! I can't actually tell you how much I've fallen in love with the A300. If I'm not filming on my big camera, I taking shots on the A300 and sure it's clunky and slow, defintely outdated but it such a vibe.
@@advntrswithmarley same here! I'm spoiled with ZV E10 but i still use my a200 sometimes to take some random photos. I just love those raw mechanical feeling from old DSLR's :D
@@PinotNoir_ It's a nice bit of kit that ZV E10, like my A7IV, it's there to get the job done with no hassle. But that feeling of using an old DSLR, it's the closest you'll get to film without the expense of shooting film.

Off topic things are my favourite things 😂Totally agree! The a300 is something special. I can't quite pin it, but it just is. Very stoked someone else gets it too!
That is not rain umbrella but attempt to bee sun shade.
😂😂 Well it was fun anyway!
Cheap digital cameras are terrible. Compared with the cheap film cameras from the 1980s and 1990s they don't even come close.
Oh 100%. It's kinda like everything went backwards for the bottom dollar. That's just greedy companies for you though.
That sensor cleaning made me almost throw up.
It’s like watching someone scrape a chalkboard, isn’t it?
@advntrswithmarley yeah. I am glad you showed why we need to buy quality. People have said you are biased but if they want to buy cheap and destroy their equipment then that's fine. I am just glad that you actually showed how awful cheap products are. Some things are okay but you still miss quality.
@@daryl0063 I whole heartedly agree and cheers for not saying I'm biased. I ain't trying to be 😂
When buying from a reputable brand, you get a confirmation, a reassurance that time has been invest. Not just shelving out for the sake of it. Although you can be bit in the ass for it, it's less likely to happen.
You get what you pay for. Sometimes it's good, others not so much.
@advntrswithmarley exactly. You are doing a good job don't worry. If people get hurt because you share an honest review that is fine. I don't read comments like that. I see too many new photographers buy a good camera and a crappy lens. Not exactly what you should do but if people don't want to listen, okay then. You are doing an outstanding job so don't worry.
@@daryl0063 Cheers for the support my friend, it seriously means a lot!
Looks like every harness I’ve seen. Not sure what you’re trying to say here…
It might look like every other harness you've seen but it certainly didn't feel like a quality harness. Ultimately I've left it up to you to decide whether you want to invest in the products in this video or not.
rain comes from abover not infront
It CAN rain sideways, BUT, you’re right. We did actually test it by pointing the hose upwards on the shower setting.
subs for that a300 since i have and use it's brother the a200! and no, i wouldn't trust my lovely a200 on that harness😂
😂🤣 Cheers for the sub homie! I can't actually tell you how much I've fallen in love with the A300. If I'm not filming on my big camera, I taking shots on the A300 and sure it's clunky and slow, defintely outdated but it such a vibe.
@@advntrswithmarley same here! I'm spoiled with ZV E10 but i still use my a200 sometimes to take some random photos. I just love those raw mechanical feeling from old DSLR's :D
@@PinotNoir_ It's a nice bit of kit that ZV E10, like my A7IV, it's there to get the job done with no hassle. But that feeling of using an old DSLR, it's the closest you'll get to film without the expense of shooting film.
I have something similar for my Leica Batteries..
Nice! Always good to have a backup plan for those battery emergencies. Got any cool tips to share?
@@advntrswithmarley Great video! full of good information. I wish i had some good tips. I dont sadly.
WHY CANT YOU USE A CAMERA STRAP CORRECT???
Whoops. Someone's a little mad 😂 Not I can really change it now afterwards so I guess we're all stuck with it. I appreciate your support homie ❤🔥
How you managed to wear that upside down 🤦
Quite easily actually. But it's been addressed before.
I have a vivitar enlarger. From the analog times. Proudly states. Made in the USA.
Now it’s the worst crap made in china
I also have a Vivitar Macro/Wide Angle adapter. It's a pretty decent bit of kit. It's like how can you fall so low?
@@advntrswithmarley sadly they did.
I think money? 🤷🏻♂️
Or the brand name is just bought up.
@@pd1jdw630 Maybe so. Now it's just manufactured e-waste. So damn sad.
what's with all the beeping in the video ?
is it to keep birds away?
It's funny though right, I never actually noticed them until it was pointed out. Even in the editing process, it's just something I've learned to tune out over the years.
definitely not, results were 100% accurate 👍👍
Glad to hear you think so homie! Which one was your favourite?
@@advntrswithmarley the umbrella was hilarious 🤣
@@p16rre I'm still confused as what it's meant to actually do... It's like it was meant for a little chipmunk or some kind of rat 🤣🤣
is it just me or did the frames drop from 30 to like 15 fps on 17:20
Yeah unfortunatly it did. It's still an issue I'm trying to figure out on my end. I would have changed it but I liked the delivery of everything so I figure as long as the audio isn't bad, we can deal with a bit of framerate issues.
It's definitely the software I'm using.
@@advntrswithmarley probably yeah ahahhaha, keep it up though, good vid
@@turtle_arwI appreciate the support homie! Glad you stuck around!
Is this like Dollar Tree Mr. Beast but for film gear??? Cause his editing is like it but theres like zero energy or presence from this guy 😒🗑
😂😂 Still trying to work out a format for this and how much engery I've gotta put into it, while it still feeling authentic and not so over the top, ya feel? Any tips?
The jumping with the harness made me cringe.....
How else was I meant to test them 😂
Wish is equally worse.
I want to do a Wish video, but am terrified if I spend a decent amount, half the stuff won't turn up 🤣 But maybe thats part of it... 🤔🤔
'I'll spray you in a second' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the dog wont wait for your nonsense
He is a lovely boy. But SO DAMN impatient 🤣🤣
Was habt ihr da für interessant klingende Vögel?
Man nennt ihn Glockenvogel. Da es hier unglaublich häufig vorkommt, ignorieren wir es alle. Ich habe vor ein paar Tagen mit meinem Kollegen über genau dieses Video gesprochen und er hat es erst bemerkt, als ich ihn auch darauf hingewiesen habe 🤣
peeps still keep buying this garbage.... it's up to you
It’s definitely a choice everyone has to make! Sometimes trends can be hard to resist, even if they seem questionable.
whatever that sound is is a sensory fucking nightmare i wish i couldve finished this video.
skipped past that section thank god its gone omfg
OH NO ITS BACK
You're telling me! I never noticed it until it was pointed out. It's a specific type of bird here in Australia and we kinda tune it out for the most part. But I'm stoked you still stuck around!
Are you recording in 32bit float and raising your gain? Is that why the bird noises so pronounced?
@@mrfrankiesharpe I was using an iPhone to record that specific section. Without a lapel mic. No gain added in post, just literally iPhone audio. I've figured out a workaround now but wish I had done something about it BEFORE the video was uploaded.
😄
🤣🤣
