Hey Mo!!!! Wow thank you so much! Really appreciate ya! Means so much to me that you enjoyed the video and found it beneficial! Hope your experience with the ZV-1 and it's accessories goes well! Have an awesome day my friend!
I had this camera a year ago and i loved it. I ended up returning it bc at that time i got too caught up with my day job that i didn't have time to film. I repurchased this camera along with the Joby tripod and i can't wait to film content using it again!!!
I just got the ZV-1 and have the lens on back order. But I’m pretty happy with the field of view so far. I have no regrets buying it. From creating product videos, using it as a webcam for conference calls, vlogging or just family vids it is phenomenal! So happy!
Hey Hidari! That’s awesome. The camera is a great product. Sony really did an amazing job with this one. So glad you’re enjoying yours! Let me know if you have any questions down the road or find some other cool accessories that you could recommend to others here!
@@CinematicSouls thanks! I will do. Give me a few more days to play and will let you know. I didn’t get the rig, i just felt it took away the pocket feel. Screen protector, batteries and selfie stick are necessities! :) Great video btw! 👍🏽
thank you this is awesome!!!! I wish I saw your vid before i bought other accessories on my own LOL love the breakdown and your review on each piece : -)
Hey thanks so much :) and trust me I learned some lessons that way too and was like dang...

Thanks man ! great to watch your vid on 2160p and thanks also for filming it on the camera we are all interested in. Im looking at getting one of these cameras and now likely some of the accessories you mentioned.
Thank you for making this! Just purchased the ZV-1 to start a vlog page. Will return the accessory kit I bought and for sure get the tripod you recommend. Great video!
Hey Fiorella! It was my pleasure and thank you for watching! Drop me a link after you post the video! Would love to watch and I am sure others on here would be interested too! And yes, this tripod helps so much more for getting a variety shots. You're going to enjoy it so much more! Thanks again for watching and dropping a comment!

i bought the zv 1 ,thinkin ' is the perfect camera :))) that dream last very little . cause the accessories i needed doubled the price .batteries ,gimbal ,tripod in the studio , external mic, lenses ,suitcase ... then i realized buying the best cellphone could have been way wiser :D
Hey Amara, I completely understand that and agree. Alot of companies want to sell you products especially in the content creation business, call it a vlogger camera and everyone instantly thinks it's the key to success. I think alot of creators can use their phones and get more than enough out of it. Overall I think it's important to remember that all this tech and gear, they are tools. Whether you need a certain tool for certain projects is up to you. Maybe it'll help some people in their work flow and ease the process. Maybe they want a certain level of quality in the video or audio, it just depends. At the end of the day, just create and you'll find out what tools you need or want eventually.
Hey Vera! I got you! Video is in the works now! Thank you so much for watching and supporting! Let me know if you have any questions in the mean time 🤗 Appreciate ya!
You'll love it! Appreciate you watching and taking the time to drop me a comment! Let me know how it goes with the new camera and if you have any questions!
Great video, really enjoyed thanks. I've got the ulanzi lens on order. I was also expecting you to mention a gimbal, as I find using zv1 without active Stabilisation to be an issue. Keeo up the great work 👏
Hey what's up! Thanks so much! For someone reason your comment was held for review and I just found it lol sorry for the delay but let me know what you think about the lens after you get it. And yeah I didn't mention it since I felt like gimbals could be a whole other video but I have an old Zhiyun that has worked great. For folks looking to get one for the ZV-1, I would probably say try the Zhiyun Crane-M2. Looks like it only goes for $100 on Amazon and could support this weight. Let me know if you have any questions or other thoughts! Appreciate your time and thanks for dropping me a comment!
Thank you informative, good video. I have the ZV-1 and need a tripod with an arm extension for overhead shots of my art process. I like that case and the wide angle - I've been seeing those suggested by other photographers as well.
Hey Nadine! So glad it was helpful! I still use the wide angle lens for alot of my over head shots too and I tell you it gives you alot more flexibility with shots and a variety to work. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks again for your time and writing me a comment :D
Hey Sydney! Omg thanks so much! I really appreciate your words. So glad it was helpful! Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions! Drop me a link if you end up posting something with your new gear!
Hey - great video. Thanks for the tips and that tempered glass is definitely something I am going to purchase. I used my camera yesterday for the first time and I am super excited about it, but definitely want to protect it. Still doing research on that wide-angle lens.
Hey thanks so much for watching! So glad it was helpful! I would say the wide angle lens is pretty helpful in giving me a variety of shots but not everyone needs that. Some folks might just use the camera for streaming and keep it on one angle and will be set. I'll make a follow up video on the wide angle soon and give some more updates! Only downside is that it adds to the size of the camera so if portable is a concern then this could be a hindrance.
We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, small size, perfect for ZV1, can we send you one for the next mic review you are doing?
The Sony GP-VPT2BT or INKEE IRONBEE shooting grips should be a MUST have. Being able to take a photo or start/stop video without using a second hand is great.
Definitely a good feature for sure! I just didn't find it as helpful as the Joby stick but everyone has different needs and uses! If I could combine the two, then it'd be the ultimate accessory!
Sup Michael! Definitely a great buy and really helpful especially for anyone vlogging and want that clear from themselves and the person they're filming! Appreciate you dropping a comment and watching! Have a good one!
thanks for this video! ive never personally scratched the screen on any of my cameras haha but loved the other accessories. thinking about getting the wide angle lens. thanks!
Hey my pleasure! And I always like to be safe than sorry and it's so cheap that I always figure why not lol wide angle lens is legit, let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching and dropping me a comment! Appreciate ya!
Hi, very useful video. I like the last thing that you showed, the bag really economical. Can you please put in the link for it on amazon or the name for it. By the way I just ordered ZV1 just now. From the review I see that it is a great one to have and worth the money. Cheers, Ravindra
Hey Maria! So glad it was helpful! Really appreciate you dropping me a comment! Hope you enjoy your new ZV-1 and let me know if you have any questions or just thoughts to share 😁
Cool tips! Love it 😊 How do you adjust the wide lens? Since I see some bad reviews on Amazon of people that are not able to adjust. Wondering how you got this done?
Thanks for watching Sammy, not sure what you mean by adjusting the wide lens. You have a base that has the adhesive and then the lens you just screw on. It's really easy to install and has worked well for me still. Let me know if that helped, not sure if I answered your question.
Such Ocaya! Really appreciate that! You are awesome. Thanks for watching and taking a moment to write me a few words! Best of luck on your RUclips journey my friend!
Hey Guadalupe! Might not be necessary. You can really make it work fine without the wide angle but just depends on what your needs on and if you really want to capture more of your background. Sometimes for vlogs people want to show more of where they are. I say go without the lens then if you feel you need more in the shot, then get the lens. Hope this helped clarify a bit. Let me know if you have other questions!
Very good interview. i have the small Rig cage. But to use it with the Zhiyun Crane m2s or other gimballs, the battery/memcard port is blocked. So the Rig cage is useless and extra weight for the gimball .
Nice one buddy.. the deity mic sounds awesome comparing to the built in mic on my videos! Quick question do you use gimbal or handle grip screwed to the small rig cage? Thanks and hello from 🇸🇬
Hey Rysha! Thanks so much for watching! I haven't used a gimbal with the camera yet, but I did drop a link in the description for a recommended gimbal if you wanted to try it out, here it is again amzn.to/38ry82f. I own a different zhiyun but it's more expensive and this M2 version can handle the Sony ZV-1 and is cheaper than mine. But I have not personally used it but i trust the zhiyun brand and have had a good experience with mine. Let me know if you have other questions and thanks for saying hi from Singapore! Super cool :D
Awesome video! Been thinking about getting the wide angle lens but was kinda hesitant about gluing something in front of the new camera. Does the camera fit in the case with the wind muff and small rig on?
Hey there Kaye and Remo! You're right, it's about time I made a follow up video on the wide angle and give some feedback on my experience on it. That project is on the list now! Thanks for the motivation :D And yes it all fits into the case MINUS the wide angle lens. You have to remove that for it to fit in the amazon pouch.
Great video man. Do you by chance know if there is a Variable ND Filter Lens that will work with the ZC1 in combination with the Ulanzi W1 Wide-angle Lens? Thanks so much!
Hey Don, honestly I record everything in 24p, I never use 30. Just not a fan of how the 30 looks and always enjoyed the more cinematic look of 24. Just personal preference.
Sup Drey! Thanks so much man! Appreciate you watching. I don’t know for sure cause I don’t have the M2 Gimbal but I don’t see why it wouldn’t. It doesn’t really add much to the size of body and weight. But I can’t say for sure, sorry 😣
Great video! Is there a way to lock the White Balance on the Sony ZV-1. I’m a trainer, and while I’m moving in my studio, the balance continues to adjust. What can I do using the Sony ZV-1?
Yeah you just goto Menu, Camera Tab 1, screen 9 out of 12 and you'll see White Balance, change it one of the other colors like incandescent or there is options to make a custom color. You'll likely have it in your Fn button function and get to it there faster. Hope that helps and let me know if you have other questions!
Sup Tony! No issue there whatsoever between the cage and lens. Works great together! Thanks for watching! Appreciate your time! Let me know if you have any other questions!
So glad I found this video! I just got the exact same Smallrig cage and Ulanzi wide angle, but then seeing how the cage attaches to the camera, I was wondering if I can even use them together. Or, rather, if i'd be able to take the cage off without ripping the wide angle adapter ring off.
@@delasse3178 hey for anyone wondering, I know it's too late, but they do :) I just recently got my Sony ZV-1 with a UURig and a Ulanzi wide angle attachment, so far 10/10, great setup.
Large for sure! The small is good for maybe some side accessories if you want to use it for that. I have both and they're great. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Great video. Just got this camera and am thinking about the wide angle lens. However, do you think it will affect the motor of the camera in the long run with added weight as I figured I may forget to unscrew it before shutting the camera down.
Hey Sandeep! I appreciate you and good question! I really can't say cause I haven't owned it long enough to find out. But I've honestly just left it on when powering on and off. Seems to have no issues right now. Maybe I'll update this about a few months and see where were at lol but I would probably say better safe than sorry and try to remove it as often as you can.
Hey John, from what I've read, yes it should be able to work with wireless microphones from Sony like the Sony ECM-XYST1M. Can't say for certain since I've never owned one but if you do end up getting it, come back and let us know! I'd personally look into the Rode Wireless Go as well. That you do need to plug in but then you can clip the second wireless mic to you and have even more functionality with that.
Looking for something that can connect this camera to an audio output source like a mixer. I have an IRig but it made for the IPhone. Live streaming rather than a SLR ? X
2 Questions. 1) Is this Camera good enough with a 19" Ring light for inside streaming? 2) Is there a setting that can be adjusted to either slow down the hunt or stop it. When you showed off the case & raised your hands, the autofocus was hunting around a bit & the background blur faded in and out quite a bit. Thanks!
Hey Justin! Yeah I use it with the 19" ring light and it would handle perfectly fine for inside streaming purposes. Without a doubt a perfect set up for that use. Out of curiosity, what are you streaming? And yes there is setting for the Auto Focus tracking. I have mine set on responsive so it goes really fast and that's why you see it hunting around a bit and looking jittery. You can set it to standard and have it slow down and not move focus as fast but I'm a bit impatient and just want it to focus right away but it doesn't look the best on video as you can see. Let me know if you have any other questions!
I have a Subscription Vimeo Channel for Financial Market Analysis. I've been wanting to do some intra-day live streaming. I'm debating on getting the ZV-1, A6600 or A7C. I'm leaning toward either the A7C or ZV-! because of the side flip screens... but a little tempted to try and wait for the A7S III touch screen capability to be in next-gen Sonys.
Hi - great video - a question on the Ulanzi WL-1 wide angle lens adaptor. I am also finding on Amazon what looks to be the same product under the names VIJiM and LINGHUANG. Is it the same product ? Thanks, Peter.
Hey Peter! That I am not sure about. I tried searching for those names on Amazon but nothing is coming up for me. I can't speak for those products so I'd just recommend you go with the Ulanzi one if you can. Here is the link for it directly: www.amazon.com/dp/B08H8N1R6C/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_8k91FbMMMKZ1A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
this is just a great beginner option for photography as well as video especially with the wide angle lense. Sony is improving their color but I think I'll wait till the next generation comes out, cuz on color cannon still has them beat. Sucks being a sony fanboy sometimes. This may be random but I'm into butterfly knives and plan on starting a review chanel. So the macro will really help me get those perfectly detailed close up shots of every part of the knife that I was personally looking for. Thanks for the video. I might just get a zv-1 and sell it for $500 when the next one comes out
Hey Joel! Really appreciate the support and your time! Butterfly knives?! That’s awesome! Man I use to be into them when I was younger! Those things are awesome, I only learned a few basic moves but I can only imagine the quality of knives now and the skill level of users these days. Sony ZV-1 is without a great start! And I agree, buy, use it for a bit, then you can sell and upgrade when you need more features/quality in the future! Thanks again for saying what’s up! Let me know when you post something!
@@CinematicSouls . Thanks, I was also considering a sony a6600 or a sony a7c. I took a photography and videography class freshman year but found the projects I did unfulfilling and not interesting to me. But I learned quickly you never really quit photography so I'm getting back into it
Loved the video thank you so much! Just a small comment: Would love to support your channel by purchasing through your links, yet some of the Items are no longer available maybe you want to replace them with updated links. Keep up the valuable work, greatly appreciated! 🙌🏻
Hey thanks Regine! Appreciate the heads up and apologize that some of the links were not working. I went and updated them all now. Thanks again for watching and supporting! Means alot to me! Have a great day and let me know if you have any questions about the camera or accessories!
Hey Feroz! Of course! I use Final Cut Pro to edit all my videos. If you're starting off, and have a Mac, I would recommend using their iMovie app. It's free and does pretty much everything you would need in an editor. I believe there are alot of other free editing apps too for PC but I haven't tried any. Alot of folks also use Adobe Premier, but I wouldn't recommend that for starting off. You can also use apps on your phone if your working with small files and short video clips! Hope this helps and let me know if you have other questions!
Hi. I just bought sony zv-1 and I wondering how can I move video files from camera to computer faster? I used wifi transfering but it took long time. any advice for any aaccessoris to move file faster? thanks in advance!
Would the Shure VP83F work well with this camera? I mainly want to do indoor recordings, speaking directly to the camera in storytelling format. Would the ZV-1 + VP83F be a good starting combo?
Don't have any experience with the Shure but I'd imagine it'd do fine. Honestly the in-camera mic is already impressive in my opinion. You might even be ok starting off there and seeing if you really need more.
Hahaha to each their own! And that is awesome! Have fun with it! If you post a video after using it come back and drop me a link here! Would love to see what you end up recording!
Hey there, not that I am aware for just protecting the lens. Normally on a DSLR i would purchase a protective lens filter but not for these small pocket cams. The wide angle lens I use works as a protective lens for the main camera so you could look into that as a way to get wider shots and protect the actual camera lens. Let me know if you find anything else out there that works for just protecting the lens! I'm sure others would be interested including myself!
ZV1 is 24mm wide but only in 1080p lens stabilization. Both 4k and active stabilization crop the image further in. I think it gets as bad as 33mm wide with both on.
Yeah definitely recommend the wide angle lens or the tripod selfie stick. Both help when those issues a lot! Very curious to see if they’ll make the lens wider for the next model and by how much.
YESSS Omg I was hoping someone would comment when it happened. Thanks so much man. Appreciate you acknowledging this and commenting. It's been a hell of a ride lol thanks for the support, it means everything!
@Cinematic Souls I have one suggestion for you and that is to face your camera down Because right now there is too much empty space above your head which looks kinda odd but otherwise amazing vid
Haha thanks Vasu, I noticed in editing that I started slouching more and more in the video and eventually had too much head space lol thanks for the feedback, I need to remember that in my next video! Appreciate you!
Oof that's a tricky one, I thought it would be a quick search on Amazon but yeah I don't see it available at all. I tried google and nothing either. Might have to research more and see if some 3rd party vendor sells it or try contacting Sony directly and maybe their customer service can help you out. I've contacted vendors before for specific parts that weren't for sale and they've helped me out before. Worth a try! Either way keep up the awesome vlogs!
I got the same battery charger and batteries. I just ordered the case too. Do you think the case is large enough to hold the charger and batteries along with ZV-1?
I would think so. It fits my wide angle lens and the batteries in the small pouch so id assume it could fit the charger and batteries then! Let me know if you have any other questions!
A7iii is a nice camera but you'll want to remember that you'll have to invest in a lens for it as well. Unless you go with a kit lens but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a nice DSLR to only have a kit lens. Sony ZV-1 is a great start point if you're trying to film some content for youtube or social media. Let me know if you have any questions that I can help with!
@@Cupid__Star__Cupid that's not a bad camera either but if you're looking into a DSLR at that $1000 plus range, I think it's worth spending more to get the Sony A7c which is what I use primarily, autofocus and everything is a million times better but once again it will cost more. 6600 isn't a bad camera at all though, i know alot of friends who enjoyed theirs and used them still.
#PollysWorld is at your channel with love ❤️ and support, plus I’m new to your family, I hit the big red button 😆. I must say thank a lot. I just got this camera and I love it a great deal for when I’m vlogging. Many of the add on items I’ll be getting so much thanks 😊

And as for Cinematic Souls, loved your video, instantly liked and subbed, you rock the casbah brother! If you're still unscrewing that filter to this day (LOL) just know that I got a hack for ya... maybe for a new video...? Carry Speed magfilter 52mm, just stick that bad boy on the ZV-1, and no screwing around anymore, the ulanzi wide angle lens just attaches magnetically, the magnet is super strong, and this is BY FAR the best accessory I got for this little beast ;)
Hey there! Yeah the “dead cat” or muff comes with the camera! It slides into the mount slot on the top and covers the mic perfectly. Awesome videos on gaming btw! Let me know if you end up getting the ZV-1 and make videos with it!!!

@@CinematicSouls video quality of phone camera looks very cheap if you don't have high end phone. that's why I am buying zv-1
4:03 makes a great weapon in disguise lol
thanks so much really helpful review
Looking forward for a review of the wide angle lens + telepod used in Sony ZV-1. 🤗
Hey Vera! I got you! Video is in the works now! Thank you so much for watching and supporting! Let me know if you have any questions in the mean time 🤗 Appreciate ya!
Great video!! Super helpful, thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching Oyoko! :D
Fantastic video! Thank you!
Going to buy one for vloging
You'll love it! Appreciate you watching and taking the time to drop me a comment! Let me know how it goes with the new camera and if you have any questions!
Price is dropping. Thankyou for your information 🤓
Great video, really enjoyed thanks. I've got the ulanzi lens on order. I was also expecting you to mention a gimbal, as I find using zv1 without active Stabilisation to be an issue. Keeo up the great work 👏
Hey what's up! Thanks so much! For someone reason your comment was held for review and I just found it lol sorry for the delay but let me know what you think about the lens after you get it. And yeah I didn't mention it since I felt like gimbals could be a whole other video but I have an old Zhiyun that has worked great. For folks looking to get one for the ZV-1, I would probably say try the Zhiyun Crane-M2. Looks like it only goes for $100 on Amazon and could support this weight. Let me know if you have any questions or other thoughts! Appreciate your time and thanks for dropping me a comment!
Thank you informative, good video. I have the ZV-1 and need a tripod with an arm extension for overhead shots of my art process. I like that case and the wide angle - I've been seeing those suggested by other photographers as well.
Hey Nadine! So glad it was helpful! I still use the wide angle lens for alot of my over head shots too and I tell you it gives you alot more flexibility with shots and a variety to work. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks again for your time and writing me a comment :D
this is such a great video!! i’m lowkey gonna buy all the accessories lol tysm
Hey Sydney! Omg thanks so much! I really appreciate your words. So glad it was helpful! Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions! Drop me a link if you end up posting something with your new gear!
Thanks Bro! I just got one and I'm trying to get it to reach it full potential.
My pleasure man! Thank you for watching! Have a good one my man!
Hey - great video. Thanks for the tips and that tempered glass is definitely something I am going to purchase. I used my camera yesterday for the first time and I am super excited about it, but definitely want to protect it. Still doing research on that wide-angle lens.
Hey thanks so much for watching! So glad it was helpful! I would say the wide angle lens is pretty helpful in giving me a variety of shots but not everyone needs that. Some folks might just use the camera for streaming and keep it on one angle and will be set. I'll make a follow up video on the wide angle soon and give some more updates! Only downside is that it adds to the size of the camera so if portable is a concern then this could be a hindrance.
Thank you for this helpful vid!
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching! Appreciate ya!
Super vid! I like your calm relaxed style.
Hey Cleto! Appreciate that 🙂 thanks so much for watching and dropping me a comment! Have a great New Years!
We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, small size, perfect for ZV1, can we send you one for the next mic review you are doing?
i think at least need 2-3 battery or maybe 4. And Ultimately need gimbal if you walk around with camera.
The Sony GP-VPT2BT or INKEE IRONBEE shooting grips should be a MUST have. Being able to take a photo or start/stop video without using a second hand is great.
Definitely a good feature for sure! I just didn't find it as helpful as the Joby stick but everyone has different needs and uses! If I could combine the two, then it'd be the ultimate accessory!
It's a great camera. I really like that mic, that's really usefule
Sup Michael! Definitely a great buy and really helpful especially for anyone vlogging and want that clear from themselves and the person they're filming! Appreciate you dropping a comment and watching! Have a good one!
thanks for this video! ive never personally scratched the screen on any of my cameras haha but loved the other accessories. thinking about getting the wide angle lens. thanks!
Hey my pleasure! And I always like to be safe than sorry and it's so cheap that I always figure why not lol wide angle lens is legit, let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching and dropping me a comment! Appreciate ya!
Hi, very useful video. I like the last thing that you showed, the bag really economical. Can you please put in the link for it on amazon or the name for it. By the way I just ordered ZV1 just now. From the review I see that it is a great one to have and worth the money. Cheers, Ravindra
Just got my zv1, this has been really helpful.:)
Hey Maria! So glad it was helpful! Really appreciate you dropping me a comment! Hope you enjoy your new ZV-1 and let me know if you have any questions or just thoughts to share 😁
Cool tips! Love it 😊
How do you adjust the wide lens? Since I see some bad reviews on Amazon of people that are not able to adjust. Wondering how you got this done?
Thanks for watching Sammy, not sure what you mean by adjusting the wide lens. You have a base that has the adhesive and then the lens you just screw on. It's really easy to install and has worked well for me still. Let me know if that helped, not sure if I answered your question.
Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! :)
Nice love your energy! I'm looking to pick one up soon and start sparking my RUclips channel again. Thanks 💯💯💪🏿
Such Ocaya! Really appreciate that! You are awesome. Thanks for watching and taking a moment to write me a few words! Best of luck on your RUclips journey my friend!
Do you think the wide angle lens would still be necessary if you get the selfie stick to add more distance? I’d like to use this camera for vlogging
Hey Guadalupe! Might not be necessary. You can really make it work fine without the wide angle but just depends on what your needs on and if you really want to capture more of your background. Sometimes for vlogs people want to show more of where they are. I say go without the lens then if you feel you need more in the shot, then get the lens. Hope this helped clarify a bit. Let me know if you have other questions!
Very good interview. i have the small Rig cage. But to use it with the Zhiyun Crane m2s or other gimballs, the battery/memcard port is blocked. So the Rig cage is useless and extra weight for the gimball .
Hey did you mount a wide lense over the cage on the thumbnail?!
Nice one buddy.. the deity mic sounds awesome comparing to the built in mic on my videos! Quick question do you use gimbal or handle grip screwed to the small rig cage? Thanks and hello from 🇸🇬
Hey Rysha! Thanks so much for watching! I haven't used a gimbal with the camera yet, but I did drop a link in the description for a recommended gimbal if you wanted to try it out, here it is again amzn.to/38ry82f. I own a different zhiyun but it's more expensive and this M2 version can handle the Sony ZV-1 and is cheaper than mine. But I have not personally used it but i trust the zhiyun brand and have had a good experience with mine. Let me know if you have other questions and thanks for saying hi from Singapore! Super cool :D
Awesome video! Been thinking about getting the wide angle lens but was kinda hesitant about gluing something in front of the new camera. Does the camera fit in the case with the wind muff and small rig on?
Hey there Kaye and Remo! You're right, it's about time I made a follow up video on the wide angle and give some feedback on my experience on it. That project is on the list now! Thanks for the motivation :D And yes it all fits into the case MINUS the wide angle lens. You have to remove that for it to fit in the amazon pouch.
i think with the money paid for a zv1 + accessories, getting at this size, people should consider getting a mirrorless from the beginning
Great video man. Do you by chance know if there is a Variable ND Filter Lens that will work with the ZC1 in combination with the Ulanzi W1 Wide-angle Lens? Thanks so much!
Take a smoothness test. Which picture is smoother than 30p/50fps or 25p/50fps?
Hey Don, honestly I record everything in 24p, I never use 30. Just not a fan of how the 30 looks and always enjoyed the more cinematic look of 24. Just personal preference.
Great video I already own pretty much everything you said. So I can vouch you know what your talking about
Heyyy thanks so much! Appreciate your support and time. Let me know if you find some other helpful accessories to use with it!
Thank you!
hey this was an awesome video man! Just wondering: does the SmallRig cage work with the Zhiyun Crane M2 gimbal?
Sup Drey! Thanks so much man! Appreciate you watching. I don’t know for sure cause I don’t have the M2 Gimbal but I don’t see why it wouldn’t. It doesn’t really add much to the size of body and weight. But I can’t say for sure, sorry 😣
@@CinematicSouls thank you for the quick reply! And ah no worries man thanks for letting me know 👌🏼I’m hoping it works 😅
My pleasure! If you do end up getting the gimbal, come back and let me know if it does work or doesn’t. I’m sure others will be curious too!
@@CinematicSouls It’s being delivered next week so I’ll be sure to give an update :) thank god for easy Amazon returns just in case
They are indeed the best, pretty sure I buy like 95% of my stuff from Amazon now because of their easy returns lol
Great video! Is there a way to lock the White Balance on the Sony ZV-1. I’m a trainer, and while I’m moving in my studio, the balance continues to adjust. What can I do using the Sony ZV-1?
Yeah you just goto Menu, Camera Tab 1, screen 9 out of 12 and you'll see White Balance, change it one of the other colors like incandescent or there is options to make a custom color. You'll likely have it in your Fn button function and get to it there faster. Hope that helps and let me know if you have other questions!
Thanks for this video :)
Love the vid! Does the small cage work with the wide angle when closing / turning off the camera???
Sup Tony! No issue there whatsoever between the cage and lens. Works great together! Thanks for watching! Appreciate your time! Let me know if you have any other questions!
I have both and they work great
So glad I found this video!
I just got the exact same Smallrig cage and Ulanzi wide angle, but then seeing how the cage attaches to the camera, I was wondering if I can even use them together. Or, rather, if i'd be able to take the cage off without ripping the wide angle adapter ring off.
i believe they work together
@@delasse3178 hey for anyone wondering, I know it's too late, but they do :) I just recently got my Sony ZV-1 with a UURig and a Ulanzi wide angle attachment, so far 10/10, great setup.
Did you get the large pouch or the medium-sized one... because there are two options :)
Large for sure! The small is good for maybe some side accessories if you want to use it for that. I have both and they're great. Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@CinematicSouls thanks so much for your help! 😌
Great video. Just got this camera and am thinking about the wide angle lens. However, do you think it will affect the motor of the camera in the long run with added weight as I figured I may forget to unscrew it before shutting the camera down.
Hey Sandeep! I appreciate you and good question! I really can't say cause I haven't owned it long enough to find out. But I've honestly just left it on when powering on and off. Seems to have no issues right now. Maybe I'll update this about a few months and see where were at lol but I would probably say better safe than sorry and try to remove it as often as you can.
@@CinematicSouls thank you for the honest response. Much appreciated. 🙏
That is what I needed to know. The only other question I have is can you hook up a wireless microphone to it?
Hey John, from what I've read, yes it should be able to work with wireless microphones from Sony like the Sony ECM-XYST1M. Can't say for certain since I've never owned one but if you do end up getting it, come back and let us know! I'd personally look into the Rode Wireless Go as well. That you do need to plug in but then you can clip the second wireless mic to you and have even more functionality with that.
do you attach the wide lens to the cage? or can we use it without cage?
Looking for something that can connect this camera to an audio output source like a mixer. I have an IRig but it made for the IPhone. Live streaming rather than a SLR ? X
2 Questions. 1) Is this Camera good enough with a 19" Ring light for inside streaming? 2) Is there a setting that can be adjusted to either slow down the hunt or stop it. When you showed off the case & raised your hands, the autofocus was hunting around a bit & the background blur faded in and out quite a bit. Thanks!
Hey Justin! Yeah I use it with the 19" ring light and it would handle perfectly fine for inside streaming purposes. Without a doubt a perfect set up for that use. Out of curiosity, what are you streaming? And yes there is setting for the Auto Focus tracking. I have mine set on responsive so it goes really fast and that's why you see it hunting around a bit and looking jittery. You can set it to standard and have it slow down and not move focus as fast but I'm a bit impatient and just want it to focus right away but it doesn't look the best on video as you can see. Let me know if you have any other questions!
I have a Subscription Vimeo Channel for Financial Market Analysis. I've been wanting to do some intra-day live streaming. I'm debating on getting the ZV-1, A6600 or A7C. I'm leaning toward either the A7C or ZV-! because of the side flip screens... but a little tempted to try and wait for the A7S III touch screen capability to be in next-gen Sonys.
the lens is the only reason i haven’t bought the zv1... lol, i’m hoping they make a zv2 w/ a wide angle lens
Sup Jessie, yeah I feel you on that! Curious to see if they'll address it or not because adding the front lens does make the camera a bit more bulky.
Hi - great video - a question on the Ulanzi WL-1 wide angle lens adaptor. I am also finding on Amazon what looks to be the same product under the names VIJiM and LINGHUANG. Is it the same product ? Thanks, Peter.
Hey Peter! That I am not sure about. I tried searching for those names on Amazon but nothing is coming up for me. I can't speak for those products so I'd just recommend you go with the Ulanzi one if you can. Here is the link for it directly: www.amazon.com/dp/B08H8N1R6C/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_8k91FbMMMKZ1A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
this is just a great beginner option for photography as well as video especially with the wide angle lense. Sony is improving their color but I think I'll wait till the next generation comes out, cuz on color cannon still has them beat. Sucks being a sony fanboy sometimes.
This may be random but I'm into butterfly knives and plan on starting a review chanel. So the macro will really help me get those perfectly detailed close up shots of every part of the knife that I was personally looking for.
Thanks for the video. I might just get a zv-1 and sell it for $500 when the next one comes out
Hey Joel! Really appreciate the support and your time! Butterfly knives?! That’s awesome! Man I use to be into them when I was younger! Those things are awesome, I only learned a few basic moves but I can only imagine the quality of knives now and the skill level of users these days. Sony ZV-1 is without a great start! And I agree, buy, use it for a bit, then you can sell and upgrade when you need more features/quality in the future! Thanks again for saying what’s up! Let me know when you post something!
@@CinematicSouls . Thanks, I was also considering a sony a6600 or a sony a7c. I took a photography and videography class freshman year but found the projects I did unfulfilling and not interesting to me.
But I learned quickly you never really quit photography so I'm getting back into it
Thanks this was really good
Thanks Taki! Appreciate you 🙂 Thanks for watching and dropping a comment me a comment! Have a great New Years!
Loved the video thank you so much! Just a small comment: Would love to support your channel by purchasing through your links, yet some of the Items are no longer available maybe you want to replace them with updated links. Keep up the valuable work, greatly appreciated! 🙌🏻
Hey thanks Regine! Appreciate the heads up and apologize that some of the links were not working. I went and updated them all now. Thanks again for watching and supporting! Means alot to me! Have a great day and let me know if you have any questions about the camera or accessories!
Awesome. May I know how you edit your videos and what app to use to edit your videos?
Hey Feroz! Of course! I use Final Cut Pro to edit all my videos. If you're starting off, and have a Mac, I would recommend using their iMovie app. It's free and does pretty much everything you would need in an editor. I believe there are alot of other free editing apps too for PC but I haven't tried any. Alot of folks also use Adobe Premier, but I wouldn't recommend that for starting off. You can also use apps on your phone if your working with small files and short video clips! Hope this helps and let me know if you have other questions!
@@CinematicSouls thank you.
Dos it if fit in that amazon case when the Smallrig cage is on?
any recommendation for external flash?
Good presentation bro 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much! Appreciate you!
Great Video! Very Helpful! Ooooooooooh Yeah!
LOL! Glad it was helpful! Appreciate the support my man! Let me know if you have any questions and stay awesome my friend!
Hi. I just bought sony zv-1 and I wondering how can I move video files from camera to computer faster? I used wifi transfering but it took long time. any advice for any aaccessoris to move file faster? thanks in advance!
Would the Shure VP83F work well with this camera? I mainly want to do indoor recordings, speaking directly to the camera in storytelling format. Would the ZV-1 + VP83F be a good starting combo?
Don't have any experience with the Shure but I'd imagine it'd do fine. Honestly the in-camera mic is already impressive in my opinion. You might even be ok starting off there and seeing if you really need more.
Great video! - Just got my ZV-1 yesterday and I just purchased all of these apart from the case (its too ugly LOL)
Hahaha to each their own! And that is awesome! Have fun with it! If you post a video after using it come back and drop me a link here! Would love to see what you end up recording!
Any option to protect zv 1 lens? Something fixed that doesn`t need to be removed every time camera is turned off?
Hey there, not that I am aware for just protecting the lens. Normally on a DSLR i would purchase a protective lens filter but not for these small pocket cams. The wide angle lens I use works as a protective lens for the main camera so you could look into that as a way to get wider shots and protect the actual camera lens. Let me know if you find anything else out there that works for just protecting the lens! I'm sure others would be interested including myself!
Best combo: Godoy X1-S and Godoy AD-200 Pro
That Joby selfie stick could double as an ASP baton!
When the tripod serves dual purpose lol 😂👌🏽 to protect and film!
ZV1 is 24mm wide but only in 1080p lens stabilization. Both 4k and active stabilization crop the image further in. I think it gets as bad as 33mm wide with both on.
Yeah definitely recommend the wide angle lens or the tripod selfie stick. Both help when those issues a lot! Very curious to see if they’ll make the lens wider for the next model and by how much.
I'm the 1k'th subscriber 😁
YESSS Omg I was hoping someone would comment when it happened. Thanks so much man. Appreciate you acknowledging this and commenting. It's been a hell of a ride lol thanks for the support, it means everything!
@@CinematicSouls i've been there before my friend. 😁 Keep it up! I'm Looking forward for what you're doing next. 💪💪💪
Smallrig gear is always clutch!
Definitely! Big fan of their products! Thanks for watching the vid Don! Appreciate you!
Love this video!
Hey Luis! Thank you so much for the support. Your words mean alot. Appreciate your time! Have an awesome day!
@Cinematic Souls I have one suggestion for you and that is to face your camera down Because right now there is too much empty space above your head which looks kinda odd but otherwise amazing vid
Haha thanks Vasu, I noticed in editing that I started slouching more and more in the video and eventually had too much head space lol thanks for the feedback, I need to remember that in my next video! Appreciate you!
@@CinematicSouls Lol its alright these things happen for the best of us... Happy New Year
Hey, I lost the wind muff for my Sony ZV1 and I'm not sure where to find one that's compatible with it. Do you have one you can suggest?
Oof that's a tricky one, I thought it would be a quick search on Amazon but yeah I don't see it available at all. I tried google and nothing either. Might have to research more and see if some 3rd party vendor sells it or try contacting Sony directly and maybe their customer service can help you out. I've contacted vendors before for specific parts that weren't for sale and they've helped me out before. Worth a try! Either way keep up the awesome vlogs!
It sucks :/. Even the mic you suggested is now out of stock. Thank you for the reply
I got the same battery charger and batteries. I just ordered the case too. Do you think the case is large enough to hold the charger and batteries along with ZV-1?
I would think so. It fits my wide angle lens and the batteries in the small pouch so id assume it could fit the charger and batteries then! Let me know if you have any other questions!
I am thinking on purchasing sony vz1 although I really want sony a7iii
A7iii is a nice camera but you'll want to remember that you'll have to invest in a lens for it as well. Unless you go with a kit lens but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a nice DSLR to only have a kit lens. Sony ZV-1 is a great start point if you're trying to film some content for youtube or social media. Let me know if you have any questions that I can help with!
@@CinematicSouls What about sony a6600?
@@Cupid__Star__Cupid that's not a bad camera either but if you're looking into a DSLR at that $1000 plus range, I think it's worth spending more to get the Sony A7c which is what I use primarily, autofocus and everything is a million times better but once again it will cost more. 6600 isn't a bad camera at all though, i know alot of friends who enjoyed theirs and used them still.

Some say he's still unscrewing the wide angle lens to this day
Hello, Thank you for your comment. I am out of the office until Jan 1, 2021 and will have limited access to my channel while I am away unscrewing my wide angle lens still. If you need immediate assistance, please contact our channel representative. Otherwise, I will respond to your comment when I return. Thank you for your support and patience. We appreciate your time :)
LMFAOOOO. Im dying rn
This is not the first time I see Manny Ortiz posting a message on a "smaller" RUclips channel, I really respect you for that, keeping it humble and real while riding the success wave, kudos Manny, kudos... And as for Cinematic Souls, loved your video, instantly liked and subbed, you rock the casbah brother! If you're still unscrewing that filter to this day (LOL) just know that I got a hack for ya... maybe for a new video...? Carry Speed magfilter 52mm, just stick that bad boy on the ZV-1, and no screwing around anymore, the ulanzi wide angle lens just attaches magnetically, the magnet is super strong, and this is BY FAR the best accessory I got for this little beast ;)
Thanks for the video! 🙏🏻☺️
Guys, does anybody know, if a muff for the built-in microphone comes with the camera or you gotta purchase it separately?
Hey there! Yeah the “dead cat” or muff comes with the camera! It slides into the mount slot on the top and covers the mic perfectly. Awesome videos on gaming btw! Let me know if you end up getting the ZV-1 and make videos with it!!!
Does anyone know how to remove the Ulanzi ring off the camera safely after you've stuck it on? Kind of regret sticking it on :(
