Awesome video! I’m also using quite a lot the A6400 for my videos, and I’ve just been checking on the grip! Cheers from Japan!
Welcome to Vid Headz @Ilko Allexandroff
Dang!! The vid quality is amazing!! I mean in a rough way on saying it, its just a vid about accessories but damn that video quality is looking like a whole production
Thank you for your kindness Abel!
Just showing some love to the Black creatives. Keep grinding my guy. This was a dope vid.
Thx for the tips Big Brother!. Im using the Meike batt grip too. Thinking of getting the smallrig too as a protection. Looks cool as well!
It is a handy protection for your camera. Since I have used it I never got so much as a scratch on my a6400 because it never really touched anything because of the cage preserving resale value. Also with the cage it becomes way more modular to add whatever is needed to the camera or rig.
I have the 6400 and I have a need for better battery life. I wish I didn’t have to remove everything to get the SD card out OR fast transfer speeds via usb. Great tips. Your coverage of the nuances of this grip are exactly what I (we) need on RUclips. Thank you!
I appreciate you watching and hope you will stick around for the challenges - ruclips.net/video/rz9dg2IQxnw/видео.html
Try this battery solution - ruclips.net/video/YyQYZCPBdnQ/видео.html
2 years ago, man I gotta subscribe. I just got the a6400 and wanted to get the battery grip but I can only find one for the a6300. Glad to hear it will work.
Yes, the 6400 is a great camera and you will have the ability to get great imagery with it.
Wow. Such a high quality vid. Keep it up
great video just subbed to your channel 💯 ran into your video while googling the smallrig cage for the sony a6k + meike grip
Thank you for your awesome support.
Great information my dude! Thanks for making this video!
For a brief moment, I thought you were Bishop T.D. Jakes, the preacher!
Lol, now that is the first time I heard that one. I do however minister to inmates at local prisons, lol! Thanks for coming by the channel. I hope you stick around.
Same here. I had paused the video. When I came back to it, I was like 'when did I load a TD Jake's video?'
Great video man. Superb quality with all the broll, and a very genuine and honest review. Keep up the amazing work
Thank you for your awesome feedback!
@1:37 LOL!! I've been pissed I bought the Meike grip this whole time. Kept thinking it wasn't doing anything for my battery life. This whole time it's just been showing the power for one battery at a time. Glad I watched this video, thank you.
Sorry you had the issue, but I'm glad you found this channel. Glad you are here bro. I actually really like that battery grip. It is definitely a deal to double the battery life.
Love the the video! Just wondering if you still have that cage for the battery grip, let me know if you still have it I’d be willing to buy it as small rig discontinued it 😢
Sorry, I do not.
just upgraded to this camera, very helpful video
Insightful thank you
Great video.I'm surprised you didn't include a top handle. Kind of completes the look.
Lol! At the time of this vid I was not a big Top Handle guy. I have one now but I don't use it that often. Thank you so much for the feedback!
Good work man lol I just trying vloging waiting on this camera and I’m definitely getting that battery grip
How did you like the camera?
Thanks for a great video .... keep the content coming
Thank you so much it means a lot to me.
Love your videos....there's couple features that I would like to share with you about the meik battery grip it's there's another battery by Vello, it's features has battery Indicator that shows the power level and when the battery is low then switch to the next battery, for handling the sony a6400, there's handle grip, made by small rig
SmallRig Handle Grip Handgrip for Zhiyun-Tech ...with that handle you will have to file down the two pins, and trust me you will love then the Manfrotto ...again great job...please keep up the great work...amen 👍
Man, that sounds awesome... That Vello grip with battery indicator is a great feature to have.
Thank you, informative. 🍻
Do you have the a6400? If so how do you like it?
@@VidHeadz yes, I have an A6400... I'm fairly new to photography, but loving every bit of it. I love this camera and is using the sony 18-105 G f/4 and Sigma 30mm f/1.4 paired with a Zhiyun Weebill S. Hoping to be a good youtuber 😁.
@@abhijeetkurup well I'm your first subscriber and look forward to your videos. I'm predominantly video but my wife is professional photog. My 2 favorite lenses on the a6400 so far is the Sony FE 85mm 1.8 and the Sony FE 50mm 1.8
@@VidHeadz woah 😄, thank you. I'm working on my first video now, I'm doing the sound design first, and then planning the shots based on that rough framework. I'll surely to let you when I upload the video. Again, thank you 😄
Great video man really liking the channel. Really surprised you don’t have more subscribers. You will if you keep making videos like this. I’m stuck trying to upgrade from my A6300 and not sure to get the 6400 or 6600. All my accessories I have now with work with the 6400 not the 6600 so I don’t know camera issues 😂😂. Thanks and keep making awesome videos brother
Thank you for the awesome encouragement. I took some time off from making vids and I just got back in the saddle and ready to take the channel further.
6400 is a beast, but I cant speak for the 6600. From what I can gather the 6600 is a improved 6500 cam. The only issue I see most people have with the 6400 is the lack of in body image stabilization. Other than that it is the best for videographers. 6400 is a prime candidate for a gimbal to smooth shots or even get some stabilized glass with stabilization built in. There are comparisons out on youtube that compares the 6400 with stabilized glass against the 6500 that has in body stabilization. To be honest you could not tell the difference. So when it comes to the 6600 I'm unsure, but would like to see some comparisons to see how they measure up. In my opinion if you are on the fence in getting 6600 I would venture over to A7III instead. They are only a couple hundred away from each other. A7III is a far more superior cam. For the same price a new A6600 goes for we can get a used A7III, same price. Brand new A7III goes for 1600 and some change. Also if you not already check out "Make Art Now" channel on the lowlight settings he gives away (video is catered to the A7III but works for the Sony A series, and more). Those settings are awesome. Thanks again for watching and being apart of the channel. Iron Sharpens Iron here.
Vid Headz thank man I appreciate you responding. Yeah I agree about the A7lll only reason I thought about the 6600 cause it’s only 1198 body only now. I can get the 6400 and the Weebill S for pretty much that same price. Pretty sure I’m gonna go with the 6400. I’m not a professional so the 6400 is more than enough for me. I have a HVAC Podcast and RUclips channel. Just now trying to build the RUclips channel. Maybe down the road I’ll get a A7lll to keep in the studio and the 6400 can be my bcam or run and gun. Gotta wall before I run. Lol. Thanks agin bud have a good one
HVAC Uncensored being professional has nothing to do with your equipment and the 6400 can one hundred percent be used for professional task
@@Oneartis Agreed! It is the person behind the camera that makes the setup professional.
Pvpaducc no I agree man I know it can I meant like I’m not a paid videographer or photographer meaning o don’t need the best of the best. Ibis is a take it or leave it thing for me. I have a buddy who shot a music video using the 6400 and a A7iii so I know it’s good.
Great video! Wondering if you are willing to activate the closed captioning feature on your videos? Thanks and Congratulations!
Yes I'm definitely willing. I will have to see how to make sure they are transcribed properly. I will look in to it in the next few days. Thank you for your feedback 😊.
How do you like the sony compared to the E2 in regards to image quality
In my opinion there is a couple things to consider. I have the Sony a6400 and A7III. Both have 6K sensor and down samples to 4K resolution. This gives you all the 6K detail in a 4K size. The E2 has 10 bit color depth. The Sony is 8 bit. So there is a trade off. The E2 slow motion is un matched as far as quality of image in the price range. The Sony only has 120fps in HD and the quality is sub par compared to the E2. So it boils down to what you need out of the camera. My thoughts are, I like the Sony a little better for me because of the 6K sensor, auto focus, full frame with A7III and APS-C with the a6400. Now this relative to the individual and one should learn to shoot manual regardless. With that said the face detection is pretty dope. The Low light on Sony is great 👍 and it pretty good on E2 as well. For me it seems like the E2 was more Cinema 🎥 and the Sony are more universal. I'm not ready to go full cinema at the current time as I like the flexibility with the Sony a little better for my current needs. The E2 is an awesome camera and I don't want to take anything away from it at all. Again it boils down to what you need out of your camera.
Great, thanks!
I'm uploading new video as we speak explaining the Crop of the a6400 compared to Full Frame. Should be up in about 30 minutes.
Hi! When you charge the camera w the grip... does it charges both batteries or only 1?
Both batteries that are in the grip.
Nice video. Very helpful 👍
Thank you for watching, great to have you here on the channel.
@@VidHeadz yes, i like it. But when i check it seems like the cage for this is expensive. But i already purchased a grip for my a6500.
@@AveRobinMRamos I dont think the grip for the A6500 fits the A6400. They have a slightly different body form. The A6300 is the same body as the A6400. The cage is only about $45 to fit the grip and the body. - Meike MK-A6300 Battery Grip For Sony A6400: amzn.to/2FqyyXI
Hey love the content! by any chance do you still have the smallrig thats compatable with the a-series and mieke battery grip? I am dying to have one and all of them are out of stock everywhere. I was wondering if I could potentially by it off of you if you have no use for it anymore. Thanks!😃
Sorry Bro, I do not have it. I also did a little search and could not find one for sale. I was surprised that I did not find a used one either. I will keep my eyes open and if i see some out there i will update this thread. I have another VidHead looking for one as well.
@@VidHeadz No worries! Thank you so much, let me know if you find anything!😃
Hey! Great vid! what is the size of the rig cage you used?
In this video I used the Sony A6300 Battery grip Cage - www.amazon.com/dp/B07PTYCZ1H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sVjaFb5HR05K6
This vid was a little while ago and I have since evolved into no longer using a battery grip as I transition into doing more production work. Here is a new Sony a6400 vid where I center the rig around all day battery life - ruclips.net/video/dBqYKQ0qugs/видео.html
Have you ever gotten problems with the battery grip? Such as incompatible battery message?
No I have not. But I have been using Sony Batteries though. I hope this helps.
does battery grip work balance on gimball
Yes it does balance on gimbals but I can't guarantee every gimbal. I personally balanced it on the Zhiyun Crane 2, 3, and 3S
Its such a shame that Smallrig does not provide a wooden grip handle for this particular cage. Not only will it provide even better grip for larger hands, it will look absolutely sexy as well.
Well if you are not needing the battery grip cage there is a solution - Smallrig Wooden Grip www.amazon.com/dp/B07RFFKNM3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_tCeFFbFNEVY5P will go with this cage - www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q72B997/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_rEeFFb0ASK6TW I have transitioned into this cage now and powering the a6400 with a Mini V-mount battery 🔋 which you can see in this vid - ruclips.net/video/dBqYKQ0qugs/видео.html I hope this helps.
you should take care of running the channel seriously :))) very nice watching you I believe you will get subscriptions quickly :))) greet
Thank you for the encouragement as it is greatly appreciated. I'm doing a little ground work at the moment trying get some vids out for those who need to get started editing. I got a couple more beginner vids and then I get into the fun stuff. But it is hard to get to the fun stuff without having vids that will help get peeps up to speed. Just got another cam in this week so I got more camera preview vids coming soon as well.
Link smalrig for batre grip Sony ? Pleasw 🙏🏻
Sorry, it is still discontinued
good video just turn the music down a little when you are talking
Thank you for your feedback!
wow thats a very big hand
Lol, Thanks for watching bro
Not to mention the grip gives it better ergonomics if u ask me😂
I loved the grip as oppose to not having the grip. With my big hands the grip was essential for me. Not to mention getting longer battery life.
such a shame they discontinued the cage
Yes it is, because was pretty dope.
Wow a6400 is a lot smaller in your hand
Lol!! Yeah I got big hands. The camera is definitely a beast when it comes to imagery in such a small package. I know it has more to do with the fact that it is a 6K sensor.
@@VidHeadz i know right, im asian which is a lot smaller than your ever imagine Lol! yeap a6400 is my main camera and i still love mine! greeting from malaysia
@@ilhamismail2908 bro, I'm thankful to meet you. I would love to see Malaysia.
