I made my ZV1 more like an SLR - Review of the Gizmon ZV1 Extension tube and wide angle adapter

- The ZV1 is a great camera, but it has its limitations. Some people think that the ZV1 isn't wide enough. The Gizmon extension tube and wide angle adapter helps solve this problem, giving a wide image, even with stabilisation turned on. You can also use the set up to add various filters to the ZV1 (like ND or CPL), a macro lens and a lens hood. What's more it all easily disassembles and packs away, keeping the ZV1 small and pocketable. I was lucky enough to be provided with the extension tube and wide angle adapter by the company, but this is not a sponsored video and my own opinions are expressed.

I love the Ulanzi wide angle/macro lens combo, but the adhesive for mounting is not ideal. The weight of the lens when attached to the ZV-1 barrel is also an issue that can't be ignored. Both combined, the lens falling off when filming it hot Florida weather is just inevitable. All reasons why this gadget is very interesting to me. The down side is that it will not work with the popular and versitile UURig cage, which I have and love. I may try this and a SmallRig L-bracket in the future. For now, I'm going to use 52mm Magfilter magnetic adapter which allows use the Ulanzi wide angle lens, or a much lighter ZOMEI wide angle lens. Swapping out lenses is super easy and the UURig cage stays. It really is amazing what you can do with the ZV-1 with just a few simple/inexpensive accessories. Such a great camera. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for this information
Wow 😳I thing this is better than olanzi kit 👍
Thank you for showing , i would buy for my zv 1 🤟
Best Regards from Austria
Thanks for your great comment
One day i will have this camara 👍👍
Thanks for your comment
What a pity! One Amazon review said it couldn't be used with a rig cage where the rig has a ring around the lens area. 😢
Thanks for notifying, I've not used this with a rig
looks very interesting. I often wondered how the filter type lens attachments compare to dedicated lenses. I liked the B roll. Are you going to start the podcast again soon?
Thanks for your comment. I hope to start the podcast up again soon
So is the lens of the ZV1 pushing against the apparatus? So are the motors working against the attachment. It seems like the ZV1 lens is pushing something out. I don’t understand how everything is connected.
The lens isn't under strain by the attachment. The attachment can move to accommodate the change of lens size
@@Big-GVideo so the attachment is loose in some parts. Good to know. Do you use it with any cages? I know the uurig might have issues.
I don't use it with a cage but do use it on a gimbal
@@Big-GVideo thanks for the help!
I have this set up, brand new in a box but sent back the camera before it arrived in the mail.
Thanks for your comment
Hey, friend. Thank you very much for this. I'm looking into wide angle lenses options for the ZV-1, and this is very great information! Excellent video :)
I wanted to ask you, do you think the zv-1 is usable on a gimbal, or with a selfie (extendable) stick? Or with the tripod the accessory kit brings?
I've used mine on a gimbal and it pairs well with a gimbal
I have ZV1 camera. Do you think i can use it for my studio. Thanks for sharing!
Yes I think it would be a good camera for your studio
Hey there, great video! Just wondering if the extension tube adds any additional weight to the motors, and if that could cause potential longevity problems in the long run?
I don’t think it does at mounts nicely against the ring bit of the ZV1 . It doesn’t touch the lens itself. Long term, I’ve not been using it long enough, but think it’s okay
@@Big-GVideo I see. Thanks man!
Hey friend. Thank you again for this video. It's a great reference :)
I wanted to know, on the topic of ND Filters, can you use a 52mm nd filter with this tube extension? Or does it have to be 49mm? (Apparently, the appropriate one for the ZV-1 is a 52mm one).
Hi there. The filter thread is 49mm, so either a 49mm ND or a larger ND with an adapter (e.g. a 49 to 52mm adapter) will work.
Can you use the macro lens for more zoom from a distance when shooting video
No sadly not as the focus will be very very shallow
Hey I wanted to know the name of the these Lens package. Can you please tell me?
Hi there. The name is GIZMON HD Wide & Marco Conversion Lens for UX-Tube UX-WL01
@@Big-GVideo Thanks I'm going to order it now🤘
Only thing I need now is the DJI rsc2 and I'm good for my channel 🎉
I got the crane M3 and with that you can control the Zv1 from the gimbal
is there an adapter to increase zoom as well?
Not that I’m aware of
This seems like a fun setup, but I have to ask, why not just buy a Zve10?
The ZVE10 wasn’t out when I got the ZV1. So my investment went into the ZV1. But I’d buying now the ZVE10 May make more sense
Hey, I was wondering what kind of lens hood that is I’ve been trying to find one that fits but I don’t want to order the wrong one
The lens hood was included with the extension tube
This setup costs £115..is it worth the cost?
I think if you need macro/close up, want extra protection of the lens of need to add filters then yes. Only this set up can give you those. There are other ways to get a wider shot and personally the wider angle isn't a 'must have' for me
will this work in sony zv-1f
The ZV-1F doesn't have a lens that comes out. This has been designed to work with a pop out lens, so I don't think it would work. Only a guess as I've not got the ZV-1F
@@Big-GVideo but do you think if will fit
@@germboy007 Unlikely to fit
