This is exactly what i needed. I just bought the Sony ZV-1 and patiently am waiting for it but i also got the Ulanzi WL-1. My main issue was that it's bulky and heavy so I wouldn't want to leave it on every time and have to unscrew it before turning it off or screw it on before after turning it on cause this might cause issues for the motor inside. Screwing it on and off seemed like a pain so this is the perfect solution. Just use the magnet to plop it on without the pain of screwing it on. Great great video thank you :)
Hi! Thanks for watching! I did the same magnetic mount for the Zomei wide angle lens too, and the MagFilter adapter made it so quick to mount. If you watch that video, I placed the magnetic mount on the ZV1 while filming the review!
It's great, and among other Sony cameras I have, I keep coming back to this one because it's easy to set up for quick videos. I also have used it for a majority of the videos on this channel! Here's some stuff I use: kit.co/techtravelbeyond/sony-zv-1-youtube-kit
Hey Tech 👋 Just a helpful tip for those interested in grabbing the ulanzi wl1. I would recommend turning the camera on before attaching the lens. Due to the added weight it put extra wear on the motor. Also when powering on with the lense attached pointing the camera up or down helps aswell. Zv1 is my first camera and I'm still learning the ropes but I really enjoy it so far 😊
What up Chuck! Lol. My second hand ZV-1 should be arriving today. I'll probably be like you w this lens. I want to keep the camera stock as long as possible to keep it discreet. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely hitting up the affiliate link for these. You should have thrown in a link for a variable ND filter that will work on the magnetic adapter for those who might want that option. Great info 👍🏽.
Wow! Glad this helps you. Here's the ND Filter I use with the magnetic adapter: amzn.to/3sQMLFc Also, check out the Zomei Wide angle lens for ZV 1 here: ruclips.net/video/9nLHVj4KLnQ/видео.html It works with the same magnetic adapter and is lighter than Ulanzi's Thanks for watching!
@@TechTravelBeyond i saw somewhere else that the Zomei doesn't work with zoom but why would you want a wide angle when you are zooming anyway? 🤔 Anyway thanks for the links. I'll check it out too.
great solution. I wasn't really wanting to stick adhesive on my new ZV1 anyway. This also offers a solution to a bigger form factor with the add on lens. Thanks!

Hello, very nicely presented, how about the variable nd filter can the magnetic rings hold the variable nd filter movement/rotation, if you have experienced please share. Thanks alot 🎉
The original reason I purchased the magnetic mount was for ND filters on an RX-100Vii, the predecessor to the ZV-1. With variable NDs, you can set them according to the lighting conditions (Sunny, partly cloudy, etc) just like you could on a regular camera before putting the ND on. Since the mount is magnetic, if you try to spin the filter ring while on the magnetic mount, the entire thing may just spin, so setting it before placing it on the mag-mount works best. Remember, the point of variable NDs is to avoid having to carry extra filters, so this is an easy compromise.
I'm excited to take it along with me for travel! The ZV1 is great, and this will add some flexibility for me for studio shots and out on the road. Thanks for watching!
Seriously this video answers the exact question I had. Could I use this adapter with the teleprompter set up for the z v-1! Your teleprompter video was spot on.
Enjoyed your recommendation for MagFilter adapter to screw on the WLZ1 lens. The lens barrel on both Sony ZV-1 and my older RX100 II are made of plastic. Only the MagFilter is magnetic. My multimeter indicates No continuity. I watch your video three times to make sure I followed your step by step instructions. Am I missing something? I did give it a thumbs up thou...
You’re so wise to check the lens barrels! The mag filter adapter comes with a small metal adhesive ring that is inconspicuous compared to the one that comes with the Ulanzi lens. It makes the magnetic adapter stick to the lens when you need it. Thanks for watching!
I wish I saw your video sooner. I already attached the adapter that sticks on. Didn’t know they sold a magnetic version. My question is if I’m able to get it off and buy the one you are recommending. Is there a way to add filters on as well? I bought the Lensmate Quick Change Filter which I can also add on UV, Polorized filters as well as the Ulanzi Wide Angle Lens. Please let me know....Thank you.
To remove an adhesive mount, power off and take out the battery. The lens is in the closed position, and take a card lik a credit card and try sliding that between the mount and the lens. As you do, be careful and do not pry upward. You don’t want to take the lens off the motor and tracks. If anything, just slide the card straight through and take your time. When removed take a cotton swab with some rubbing alcohol to remove any residue, but only enough so it doesn’t seep into the lens or tube.
Is the magnetic filter strong or has a tendency to fall or get loose when going to vlog or walk around, making the lens to fall and possibly break. Thanks!! Actually having a hard time looking for it here in the Philippines.. I saw one but has no reviews yet. Selling price around P2,500-3,000 or $50-60 when converted from peso to dollars. :) Thanks for this video, atleast I had an idea
@@cjpreyes The lens stays on when walking but it’s not made for sudden movements like running. Most of my wide angle shots for vlogging or talking head segments work with this, but if I need to do run and gun stuff I’d chose my Osmo Action and GoPro. Think about your shots and situations, and for general vlogging the magnetic mount and wide angle lens work for talking head shots. Thanks for watching!
@@TechTravelBeyond oooh! Thank you so much for that info. Right now, I may just go without the magnetic filter since it's a bit pricey, and not sure if the seller is legit since there are no reviews in the online shop site. :) Yeah. I am actually thinking of investing in one.. a go pro 7.. wanted the 9, but so far, it has alot of problems as seen in RUclips, or a dji osmo action.. but really love the quality of the go pro.. or maybe a insta360 one x2 or r, or the go2? Haha! And or lastly, dji pocket 2? Hahah! That is alot. Yeah, it's hard to earn money and then just spend it out.. so I do appreciate you sharing your thoughts and sharing this video. Hopefully someday. 😀
@@cjpreyes no problem! Mag filter is legit via Amazon. I’ve bought two since I have the Rx100 Vii and ZV1. The stick on may be better for some, so have fun and enjoy filming!
Have you tried the Ulanzi wide angle adapter to different lenses that have 52mm filter thread? I think it might work, if you can confirm, I might get one. Just needed to be sure. Hope you can test it.
Frankly, I have not. I have several lenses for my Sony cameras and they don’t have a 52mm thread. The adapter should since that’s the original design spec.
hi chuck. new subscriber here. ur content adds tremendous value. have a zv1 already and bought the desview t2 and came tv adapter base on ur recomendation. was wondering if u can possibly mod the zv1 + ulanzi wide + desview t2. tat way i can get my rode video micro mic closer to me by getting closer to the camera to enjoy the wide and telepromter as well. liked and shared. love from malaysia
To be honest, you won’t need a wide angle lens for the desview and ZV1. I don’t use the teleprompter with a wide angle lens because all you’ll need to do is bring the teleprompter closer so you can see your script better. I just made a video about the Ulanzi wide angle lens. Thanks for watching!
I purchased that Magfilter adapter.. which is promoted as working great with the Ulanzi wide angle. I am very dissapointed. The mag adapter is very thick and therefore the wide angle is pushed too far away from the camera resulting in a less focused image and bad vignetting. Im sticking with a thin adhesive screw adapter - which produces no vignetting and sharper focus.
Sorry that was your experience. It's worked for me, and what worked was turning the stabilization off so you have a wider view, and if it is on, just zooming in a small amount. If you're happy with the adapter ring affixed to your camera, then that works for your situation. Thanks for watching!
Hi Eric! Yes, the Ulanzi WL-1 is heavy! I didn’t like the idea of sticking the Ulanzi plate because it screws on. The magnetic mount works for me so I can put the lens on after the camera’s lens extends, and take it off before it retracts. If you keep it on while powering on and off the camera, it could put wear on the motor. The other thing, you’re not screwing something onto the lens tube while it’s extended. While the Magfilter is a good solution, it’s not optimal for running around with it or in a situation where it can be bumped off. Most of my vlogging or camera shoots aren’t that. If so, I’d use an action camera!
@@TechTravelBeyond This is a great solution. I got the Zomei wide angle because it was a bit lighter and combined that with the magnetic mount. Love it! Thanks for the hack.
Question for you, I use the same teleprompter as you do, the parrot. I noticed I get double wording on my prompter, the scripts always show a shadow of the wording. Did you have this issue?
Hi, I have the Ulanzi wide lens attached on my Sony ZV1 I am looking to sell the ZV1 now to upgrade my camera and I want to sell the ZV1 without the wide lens fitted to a camera company. As the Ulanzi wide lens is stick on, is it possible to remove the wide lens without damaging the camera? Or will it damaged the lens or leave a mark on it from the sticker? Thanks Carl…
You can. Turn off the camera and remove battery. Lay camera flat with lens up. Carefully slide a credit card or a rigid plastic card inwards underneath the screw on adapter toward the center of the lens but do not pull-up so you don’t extend the lens and take it off its rails. Do it all around the adapter to loosen the adhesive. It should come off. Once off, take a small cloth and dip it into a small amount of rubbing alcohol to remove any adhesive residue. Do not let it drip onto the lens or into the lens tube. Hope that helps and thanks for watching! BTW stay tuned. I have a Sony ZVe10 review coming when it arrives!
@@TechTravelBeyond I will and thanks for that, in fact it's the E10 I'm thinking of upgrading too lol. Mostly because of the changeable lens and to use an ND filter as I film in sunny Thailand a lot. Thanks again for replying.
@@TechTravelBeyond Agree, but I used the Ulanzi wide lens on the ZV1 and found the inbuilt ND wasn't quite strong enough at times as filmed a lot in Thailand with bright sunshine and was still a little over exposed. Now I can pick a good wide lens like the Samyang 18 or 12mm and use with an adjustable ND etc. Will be using it on the M2 Gimble also to be more stable so not use the in built software or Sony software which cuts down the video width. Thanks.
You don’t need the Ulanzi for the Sony ZV-e10. It supports the interchangeable APSC lenses and you’ll be better off with a real wide angle lens like the Sigma 16mm f1.4. The Ulanzi is an good add-on for the ZV-1 fixed zoom lens barrel.
Chuck, I just got my Sony ZV-1 last week and bought the Ulanzi WL-1 wide angle lens. After watching the video and reading everyone's comments, I'm afraid to use it. I'm going to return it since I bought it during Amazon prime days. I don't want to stick anything on my camera with double stick tape. Are there any other wide angle lenses I can use with the Magfilter connector that you suggested? Or another suggestion altogether? Thank you.
I used the mag filter adapter on the ZV-1 and the RX100-VII. It’s great because only the mag ring is on the end of the lens barrel, and I’ve used the mag adapter with the wide angle lens when I’ve needed to. The other reason is I can use ND filters with the adapter on the RX100 since it doesn’t have a digital ND like the ZV1 has. It’s up to you, but with the mag filter, you only stick the small mag ring and you don’t have the wonky plate of the WL1 hanging off your lens. As long as you only use the WL1 when you need it your good. If you want it on all the time, then you have the weight issue with the retractable lens barrel. I’m currently carrying the RX100 without the wide angle lens and mag filter, and you’d never know the mag ring is in the end of the lens. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
@@TechTravelBeyond since this is my first camera in years, after depending on iPhones to take pictures with, I just don't feel comfortable using double stick tape to attach an adapter. I got caught up with all of the Amazon prime day sales and got a few accessories that I probably don't need. Thank you very much for your reply! I'm happy with the other accessories I bought and I'm ecstatic about owning a Sony ZV-1 !!
@@TechTravelBeyond I realized after your reply that I had something different in mind. It's not that I need the wide angle lens. I was thinking about taking panoramic pictures of beaches and oceans. I have the panoramic setting on this camera. I hope that makes sense. I haven't even used the camera yet. I'm still setting it up. Thank you.
U should get the newer wide angle lens is about big but it mounts to the ring around your lens with a clamp mechanism it's perfect I think that's what I got and comes in two. Colours white and black should really check it out
The 52mm MagFilter adapter listed and linked in the description works for both the ZV1 and Rx100VII. I recently purchased a second one and it fits on the ring on the RX100VII and on the ZV1. Perhaps you were sent the wrong one? Thanks for watching.
Not to the A6400. Since it’s an interchangeable lens camera, I use the Sigma 16mm f1.4 for wide shots with nice bokeh. I’ve used it for some of the videos here you may have seen. Thanks for watching!
Not to mention that if you use the adhesive, it eventually stops sticking. Then you either lose adhesive, or like me your adhesive is stored in a warm place and it loses all stickiness. Now the adapter is useless. It is a shame this does not work the way it should at full wide focal length, it defeats the purpose of the filter and the fast aperture.
The adhesive plate is so big and distracting when you’re not using the wide angle add on lens too! I use the ZV1 in my home studio with a teleprompter set up and the wide angle lens and plate don’t work it. Thanks for watching!

Do not let it drip onto the lens or into the lens tube. Hope that helps and thanks for watching! BTW stay tuned. I have a Sony ZVe10 review coming when it arrives!
@@TechTravelBeyond I will and thanks for that, in fact it's the E10 I'm thinking of upgrading too lol. Mostly because of the changeable lens and to use an ND filter as I film in sunny Thailand a lot. Thanks again for replying.
@@charliewolf4107 The only thing about the ZVe10 is no built in electronic ND Filter as on the ZV1. I'll test and review that when mine arrives. ;-)
@@TechTravelBeyond Agree, but I used the Ulanzi wide lens on the ZV1 and found the inbuilt ND wasn't quite strong enough at times as filmed a lot in Thailand with bright sunshine and was still a little over exposed. Now I can pick a good wide lens like the Samyang 18 or 12mm and use with an adjustable ND etc. Will be using it on the M2 Gimble also to be more stable so not use the in built software or Sony software which cuts down the video width. Thanks.
Question what size for the Mag Ring they offer 3 different sizes. I ordered the 52mm for my brand new Sony EV-1?
You don’t need the Ulanzi for the Sony ZV-e10. It supports the interchangeable APSC lenses and you’ll be better off with a real wide angle lens like the Sigma 16mm f1.4. The Ulanzi is an good add-on for the ZV-1 fixed zoom lens barrel.
Chuck, I just got my Sony ZV-1 last week and bought the Ulanzi WL-1 wide angle lens. After watching the video and reading everyone's comments, I'm afraid to use it. I'm going to return it since I bought it during Amazon prime days. I don't want to stick anything on my camera with double stick tape. Are there any other wide angle lenses I can use with the Magfilter connector that you suggested? Or another suggestion altogether? Thank you.
I used the mag filter adapter on the ZV-1 and the RX100-VII. It’s great because only the mag ring is on the end of the lens barrel, and I’ve used the mag adapter with the wide angle lens when I’ve needed to. The other reason is I can use ND filters with the adapter on the RX100 since it doesn’t have a digital ND like the ZV1 has. It’s up to you, but with the mag filter, you only stick the small mag ring and you don’t have the wonky plate of the WL1 hanging off your lens. As long as you only use the WL1 when you need it your good. If you want it on all the time, then you have the weight issue with the retractable lens barrel. I’m currently carrying the RX100 without the wide angle lens and mag filter, and you’d never know the mag ring is in the end of the lens. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
@@TechTravelBeyond since this is my first camera in years, after depending on iPhones to take pictures with, I just don't feel comfortable using double stick tape to attach an adapter. I got caught up with all of the Amazon prime day sales and got a few accessories that I probably don't need. Thank you very much for your reply! I'm happy with the other accessories I bought and I'm ecstatic about owning a Sony ZV-1 !!
@@TechTravelBeyond I realized after your reply that I had something different in mind. It's not that I need the wide angle lens. I was thinking about taking panoramic pictures of beaches and oceans. I have the panoramic setting on this camera. I hope that makes sense. I haven't even used the camera yet. I'm still setting it up. Thank you.
U should get the newer wide angle lens is about big but it mounts to the ring around your lens with a clamp mechanism it's perfect I think that's what I got and comes in two. Colours white and black should really check it out
I purchased the magnet adapter onto my ZV1 and it doesn't fit
The 52mm MagFilter adapter listed and linked in the description works for both the ZV1 and Rx100VII. I recently purchased a second one and it fits on the ring on the RX100VII and on the ZV1. Perhaps you were sent the wrong one? Thanks for watching.
That lens works on Sony rx100 v?
If it's the same lens as the Rx100 Vii, it should!
Hi did you try mounting the ulanzi wl-1 to the a6400 kit lens with a adapter?
Not to the A6400. Since it’s an interchangeable lens camera, I use the Sigma 16mm f1.4 for wide shots with nice bokeh. I’ve used it for some of the videos here you may have seen. Thanks for watching!
@@TechTravelBeyond I wanted to try to mount the ulanzi wl-1 to the 16-50mm kit lens. Wonder is there any vignetting on the kit lens.
@@isaacliew7528 no I haven’t. No need since the Sigma is so much sharper than kit lens. Kit lens has a 40.5 mm screw point and the Ulanzi is 55mm.
@@TechTravelBeyond ya I didn’t own a sigma lens and only have the kit lens. I wonder can I use a 40.5 to 52mm adapter to mount the ulanzi wl lens😁.
@@isaacliew7528 possibly, but I can’t guarantee it and how it would work.
Not to mention that if you use the adhesive, it eventually stops sticking. Then you either lose adhesive, or like me your adhesive is stored in a warm place and it loses all stickiness. Now the adapter is useless. It is a shame this does not work the way it should at full wide focal length, it defeats the purpose of the filter and the fast aperture.
The adhesive plate is so big and distracting when you’re not using the wide angle add on lens too! I use the ZV1 in my home studio with a teleprompter set up and the wide angle lens and plate don’t work it. Thanks for watching!
Hi, can you use the wide lens and adjustable ND filter together on the ZV1? Thanks Icecy...
You can, and the size is on the inside of the Ulanzi lens cover.
@@TechTravelBeyond Great thank you. Icecy :)
@@TechTravelBeyond Oh I see, so screw In the wide lens, I think it's 58mm. Thanks again for your reply. Icecy:)
You know the zv1 has a built in ND filter too, right?
