Hey y’all, I started making this video earlier this month before the COVID-19 situation got out of hand. During mid-production, the quarantine started to affect businesses and obviously people’s livelihood. This video may seem like it came out at the wrong time but again, I started filming before all of this happened. My intention from the beginning was to make a fun video on bogus camera accessories so I still wanted to finish it incase it can help put a smile on someone’s face during this tough time. If you don’t want to watch this video, I completely understand. Next week, I will have a photography video out! Stay tuned!
You and Vivienne bring a smile to my face, and I appreciate you creating content and sharing during this time. I hope both of you and your loved ones are all safe and well.
Not gonna lie. I totally want that mirror thing for my A6300! I do take vlogs of myself sometimes and I usually have to remotely control my camera with my phone to make sure I'm in frame first, which is a pain of a process. At least with this its a super quick process and I had even thought to rig up some home-made type of mirror like this! haha! BTW, just looking at that link you provided, I happen to notice there is an exact same looking product but under a different brand name for a few bucks less. a "Yifant" brand for only $13.99. Save ya six bucks!!
I don’t think you need to defend yourself in the beginning Jason. We all have to keep doing whatever it is that we do while abiding by the recommendations and advice provided by the authorities. There’s people on the internet that will attack you no matter what you do because that’s just the way they are
My last video there were a few people who didnt like I was talking about a lens but my intention was to show some dope photos. However they never made it past the title so I am now putting a disclaimer. All good - i can def see it from their pov
Spending money recklessly? I just spent $2,855 on the new iPad and with camera accessories myself. It’s about doing what makes you happy my friend. Everyday could be our last right now.
Great vid! Just you know, the USB 3.0 micro-B connector is compatible with normal micro USB cables! Just plug the A6000/6500 charging cable into part of that connector and it should charge.
HOLY CRAP! I had no idea... just tried it with my external hard drive, amazing. There were times I thought I couldn't connect my hard drive cause I forgot the cable and only had a normal micro USB cable... You saved me so much frustration and extra carrying of cables in the future!! Thanks so much!!
The fact you feel you need to explain yourself is the exact problem. Don't worry about those haters. Your job is to provide content for people. If someone says your behaving carelessly, they're obviously looking for things to be mad at. Great video. Thanks man!
Hey, thank you for pressing on in these tough times!! It nice to see new videos coming despite the sad situation we have coming around us!! Lover your channel, keep it up!
Man, I wish they made that little portable battery box for the a7iii batteries! I need that in my life so much! Great video Jason, don't apologise for producing videos during this time. People like you bring joy to others and its a welcome distraction!
The mirror thing for flip up screen. If you used a car rear view mirror with the two distinct angles, you could project 2 screens, the camera and a teleprompter screen with your script.
So dude...first of all, not even sure what that explanation thing was at the beginning. We’re all stuck inside watching videos, somebody has to make them 😂. Now...I was a couple of button clicks from buying a new a6400 going from a 6500, mainly for the flip screen. You literally saved me $998 with that selfie screen thing. Love you work and humor, keep it up.
Hey Jason, I hope you and your S/O , family are staying safe. You do not need to apologize in the beginning of you video. You’re a content creator and you have 100% every right to make the video without people’s approval. People choose to be offended. But I do appreciate your efforts in making the video and making us smile. Thank you 🙏
I have the same rain cover, I dont use it often, but its does come in handy when u need it. Mirror look useful, wished they made it so it folds up. Looks too bulky to carry it around with all ur gear. This kind of reviews of "jank" products is pretty handy as few of the actually have visual user experience. Really helpful and entertaining video concept theme.
Hi there! Awesome Vid! I have the same Telesin you have. For charging the battery you don't need the cable that comes with. Just use a regular charger wire like for phones. The cable is only for reading the SD card. It works for me 👍🏽 stay safe.
When you appeared in the shower, I thought oh boy .. I see where this is going! I was cringing like a horror movie the whole time you sprayed the camera haha. Great content and would love another episode!
When locked in at home having nothing to do, I’m at the edge of going online to buy things. Watching this video makes me feel like I’ve done the purchase, and get to see you review them. I feel very happy now, thank you
Bro, don't worry about what kind of videos you're uploading! Any person who truly enjoys your content won't bother bickering! Also, I ordered that uurig mirror thing a week or two ago, and now I have to wait even longer since Amazon is focusing only on shipping essential items.
Nice video. What lenses would you recommend for the a6600 camera? It’s just for making cooking videos and taking pictures of food. Please let you know.
I always enjoy your videos we are all in the middle of this pandemic and will be for a long time to come so it seems mature video certainly took me away from all of that for a moment please make a lot more than because I enjoyed it just as much is your others well done and I appreciate you sharing this sort of content with this because I think it's needed more at this time than ever
that USB Micro-B super speed type port is also is compatible with a regular micro USB cable ( the regular Android charging cable before they came out with type c) so you didn't exactly have to have that particular cable to in order to charge.. I used to have a cell phone with that same charging port..
Impressive mixture of adult with the entertainment. I was more impressed with the battery charger, and the difference between the two cheap diffusers was striking. Here in the UK we hold in awe anyone wearing a hat in the shower.
Jason, just love your enthusiasm, keep making your videos, I love them! I’m in lockdown too so best wishes from Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland...........not anywhere near South Africa lol.
Neglecting that battery charger just for USB cable type is hurting. That product was really promising, although knock off, but came with 2 batteries, i never expected it. So a POWERBANK for external batteries is really awesome. I think you should check this product and see if it’s worth taking along on professional shoot and if it charges fast or slow to the original batteries
make more quarantine stuff! The rain cover looks ridiculous but its something I've seen a few people using - guess it would be a lifesaver if you're on a budget and your stuff isn't weather sealed
Could anyone tell me what the option/tool was that he used to add 'light' from the left side of that building at 17:05 ? I'd love to learn how to do that. Is it just a brush with higher brightness/saturation? thanks!
This is brilliant. I'm sure we have all hunted thru Amazon for new toys for our hobby. I have spent many a day debating if I should just "go for it" lol ...keep up the fantastic work!
You can still use a regular USB micro cord for charging with that battery charger, not sure if the SD reader will work. Just plug it into the section that it fits into. Try it, you'll figure it out. (Micro is the old phone style one)
That USB is an older, early USB 3.0 connector, presumably for faster data transfer speeds. If you were using it just as a charger, you could use it with just a micro USB connector like some older android phones or some of the portable travel chargers that are already on the market use.
Hey Jason always one of my favourite RUclipsrs to watch. Haven’t seen RUclips recommend your videos in a while but Lock down doesn’t help 😅😂. You live in Japan 🇯🇵? I always wanted to visit Japan....would you do a video one day showing japan off and what it’s like to actually live there ? Would be really interested in your video as you do great work and I’ll hopefully visit Japan next year 🙂
Great video,made me laugh and hopefully helped a beginner realise that if you buy cheap you buy twice and if you buy rubbish you fill your bins quicker.
13:15 Do you know that you can use a regular micro usb in that weird plug hole? They made it so that you can use the faster usb type b cable or the slower but more common micro usb cable.
I have had that little a6000 flash diffuser sitting in my cart for 3 days now thinking about buying it, with your demonstarion i will probably get the Gary Fong for when i don't want to carry my speed light but could use a little kicker light one of my favorite things about the a6000 series is that little flash you can point up of you need it
Great video, I actually own one of those raincovers! I bought it to take to Iceland in case we got bad weather but then forgot to take it with me so haven't tested it. Great to see your test though and looks like it'll work.
It’s obviously not going to be as good as the rain cover, but I always just wrapped a good amount of plastic food wrap over my A6400 and used an umbrella if needed. It’s a small enough camera to mostly be able to operate one-handed.
I loved this video. Was rather upset because I was hoping that charger was going to be awesome, but I agree that having yet "ANOTHER" cord to carry around - doesn't make it worth it, although online it says it's waterproof? Either way, thank you for this video. I love it and would love to see more like it!!
great vlog , from what i could see of the battery charger usb , it looks the same as what they used on the Note3 , & you can use a single type usb instead .

@@lianalehua7424 surprisingly they have good products aside from the potato bag! ahaha!
Why would anyone not want to whatch this video????
Why on earth are you apologizing for making a video...
Not gonna lie. I totally want that mirror thing for my A6300!

*"JUST INCREASE THE SHARPNESS"*
best advice on my channel tbh
That's crazy these days you have to put a whole disclaimer out there in the beginning....btw you always get me to buy something 💸
I totally agree. So crazy there has to be a disclaimer. Do your thing, Jason. Your subscribers know you and know your heart. :D
My last video there were a few people who didnt like I was talking about a lens but my intention was to show some dope photos. However they never made it past the title so I am now putting a disclaimer. All good - i can def see it from their pov
1990's: Everyone this handheld VHS Recorder is too heavy
2020: Vong...This USB cable is too much to carry not even going to bother...😂
Was thinking the same. On tv broadcast we brought a ton of cables.
And for that tiny cable he say it's no deal 😂
Make everything USB c 😂
Dont worry, I need exactly this video in these times. Good job!
Spending money recklessly? I just spent $2,855 on the new iPad and with camera accessories myself. It’s about doing what makes you happy my friend. Everyday could be our last right now.
i TOO bought the new ipad... fffff
Great vid! Just you know, the USB 3.0 micro-B connector is compatible with normal micro USB cables! Just plug the A6000/6500 charging cable into part of that connector and it should charge.
Exactly! I commented the same but you beat me. Should have read them first 😆
I had no clue! That's awesome!
HOLY CRAP! I had no idea... just tried it with my external hard drive, amazing. There were times I thought I couldn't connect my hard drive cause I forgot the cable and only had a normal micro USB cable... You saved me so much frustration and extra carrying of cables in the future!! Thanks so much!!
just to add some more info. that cable is for increase USB 3.0 speed in the old micro USB connector (remember this charger is also a SD card reader)
😂🤣😂😂You crazy bro, the shower scene killed it. The video was truly entertaining and fun!
Jason is such a nice vlogger! Always positive, upbeat, enthusiastic. I appreciate his video at this time.
The fact you feel you need to explain yourself is the exact problem. Don't worry about those haters. Your job is to provide content for people. If someone says your behaving carelessly, they're obviously looking for things to be mad at. Great video. Thanks man!
My first camera backpack was an amazon basics one for $20! I outgrew it after a year but it was one of the best $20 I ever spent 🎒😂
Loved this video Jason! Especially Vivienne giggling. 🤣
Thanks for the video. Appreciate it during times like this. Helps bring some normalcy to the day.
LMAO when Vivienne said "The waters getting everywhere"
My wallet hurts every time you upload 😂
good things the ones i like aren't too crazy expensive!
Jason Vong Well I guess being broke is finally starting to pay off. 🤷🏽♂️
Hey, thank you for pressing on in these tough times!! It nice to see new videos coming despite the sad situation we have coming around us!! Lover your channel, keep it up!
Man, I wish they made that little portable battery box for the a7iii batteries! I need that in my life so much! Great video Jason, don't apologise for producing videos during this time. People like you bring joy to others and its a welcome distraction!
Very nice video Jason. I would love to see more of these types of videos. You got me laughing several times. Well done.
Fun to watch video just to simply pass the time. I would definitely watch more. Also LOL to your shower test man. It was exciting!
i have that mirror for the lcd screen and it's WONDERFUL. Specially when Vlogging.
The mirror thing for flip up screen. If you used a car rear view mirror with the two distinct angles, you could project 2 screens, the camera and a teleprompter screen with your script.
I'm glad you're doing things like this! It makes us feel like things are still normal...even if they're not. So thank you!
As always. Lots of fun and interesting. Now I have to go shopping. Not much else to do. Thanks Jason
So dude...first of all, not even sure what that explanation thing was at the beginning. We’re all stuck inside watching videos, somebody has to make them 😂. Now...I was a couple of button clicks from buying a new a6400 going from a 6500, mainly for the flip screen. You literally saved me $998 with that selfie screen thing.

PLEASE. DO MORE OF THIS CHALLANGE. UR THE BEST!
I have the same rain cover, I dont use it often, but its does come in handy when u need it. Mirror look useful, wished they made it so it folds up. Looks too bulky to carry it around with all ur gear. This kind of reviews of "jank" products is pretty handy as few of the actually have visual user experience. Really helpful and entertaining video concept theme.
Hi there! Awesome Vid!
I have the same Telesin you have. For charging the battery you don't need the cable that comes with. Just use a regular charger wire like for phones. The cable is only for reading the SD card. It works for me 👍🏽 stay safe.
I've used those rain covers they work they are a bit of a pain but really help
Good reviews bud. Thanks for the great video. Hoping to see some A7 III accessories next!
Jason, your videos are always entertaining and informative. Thank you for pushing through doing what you do and do so well.
Jason, you are a class act!!! Love your channel..I have learned tons from you...Keep up the great work! THANK YOU
When you appeared in the shower, I thought oh boy .. I see where this is going! I was cringing like a horror movie the whole time you sprayed the camera haha. Great content and would love another episode!
I watch your videos all the way from Barbados! Great video and still very useful!
When locked in at home having nothing to do, I’m at the edge of going online to buy things. Watching this video makes me feel like I’ve done the purchase, and get to see you review them. I feel very happy now, thank you
What a great challenge~!!
I would like to buy some accessories but I have save some money for next plan.
Nice information~ Thank you bro.😄😊😆
Thanks Jason. Have my a7III and an a6400. Super love your videos! I find them so helpful!
Definitely do another one of these videos! No disclaimer needed. Hopefully the next one is on the A7iii
Bro, don't worry about what kind of videos you're uploading! Any person who truly enjoys your content won't bother bickering!
Also, I ordered that uurig mirror thing a week or two ago, and now I have to wait even longer since Amazon is focusing only on shipping essential items.
I'd love if you did one of these for FULL FRAME!!
Same!
Agree!!!
Yep. Do a full frame episode.
Yes!
Also second this comment 👌
Jason.....you are the greatest...seriously
Dude, really enjoyed this! Keep doing what you doing!
You dont have to explain yourself. You do you. People understand. Great vid!
Nice video. What lenses would you recommend for the a6600 camera? It’s just for making cooking videos and taking pictures of food. Please let you know.
ahahaa !So fun ! some items looks works (like the shower protector) and, well, spending time during quarantine ! Ty for your videos !
I always enjoy your videos
we are all in the middle of this pandemic and will be for a long time to come so it seems
mature video certainly took me away from all of that for a moment
please make a lot more than because I enjoyed it just as much is your others
well done and I appreciate you sharing this sort of content with this because I think it's needed more at this time than ever
One of the best video Series
Thanks Jason for making this Video. Buy my favorite choice, Gary Fong Difusser and Selfie Vlog Screen with your Amazon links. 🤘
Thanks for the laughs. Enjoyed.
Thanks, was pretty fun to watch. Kinda hoped the external battery pack would be good. Would love to see more like this. 👍🏻
that USB Micro-B super speed type port is also is compatible with a regular micro USB cable ( the regular Android charging cable before they came out with type c) so you didn't exactly have to have that particular cable to in order to charge..

Loved this video very helpful keep up the good work and remember stay safe out there
Thanks for the video. Some of the accessories are very good indeed.
Enjoyed that. Fun. I'm not sure if I'll buy any of that, but I'm intrigued. Thanks for sharing.
Bro, for telesin. can yo utry puting the micro usb charger. i think it works the same. its just charging, no data transfer. LMK
this video was so fun ! thanks !!
Cool video. Espcially in these trying times. I love the idea you had in terms of testing cheap stuff. Keep em comming.
👍😀👍
Do this again!! This was quite pleasing!! Lol
Great entertaining video Jason! Take care and be safe!
Jason, just love your enthusiasm, keep making your videos, I love them! I’m in lockdown too so best wishes from Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland...........not anywhere near South Africa lol.

This video is a lot better than Peter Mckinnon trying to sell a 700 dollar backpack right now
I died at 3:35
Could anyone tell me what the option/tool was that he used to add 'light' from the left side of that building at 17:05 ? I'd love to learn how to do that. Is it just a brush with higher brightness/saturation? thanks!
This is brilliant. I'm sure we have all hunted thru Amazon for new toys for our hobby. I have spent many a day debating if I should just "go for it" lol ...keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks for the video Jason. No need to apologize either, heres to continued success.
Ps the two part USB3 can be used with a normal microUSB cable which many seem to not know.
getting in the shower to test gear! love the dedication!
OMG bro! You in the shower with the camera had me on the edge of my seat !! Thanks for being so thorough :D
You can still use a regular USB micro cord for charging with that battery charger, not sure if the SD reader will work. Just plug it into the section that it fits into. Try it, you'll figure it out. (Micro is the old phone style one)
Damn!!!! I love that mirror! Hahaha thanks Jason!
Great challenge Can you do one for the Sony A7III. My first camera bag was the Amazon basics
yeah totally. but it might be awhile from now as Amazon is slowing their shipment down and only prioritizing essentials
That USB is an older, early USB 3.0 connector, presumably for faster data transfer speeds. If you were using it just as a charger, you could use it with just a micro USB connector like some older android phones or some of the portable travel chargers that are already on the market use.

Would be really interested in your video as you do great work and I’ll hopefully visit Japan next year 🙂
Wonderful information and great job!
Have you tried just plugging in the Micro USB to charge the telesin battery charger? If you haven’t returned it yet?
Great video,made me laugh and hopefully helped a beginner realise that if you buy cheap you buy twice and if you buy rubbish you fill your bins quicker.
Nice video, waiting for new series
Lot's of fun, thanks.
13:15 Do you know that you can use a regular micro usb in that weird plug hole? They made it so that you can use the faster usb type b cable or the slower but more common micro usb cable.

Glad my demo helped!!
This was actually preety fun jason, hope to see it again man!
Great video, I actually own one of those raincovers! I bought it to take to Iceland in case we got bad weather but then forgot to take it with me so haven't tested it. Great to see your test though and looks like it'll work.
Jason, we need more content during Covid lockdown, so don't fret it...
That 24-70 GM🥴🥴 much love from NYC
BE SAFE BRODY!!
No need to explain yourself!! Your content is helping to keep me sane! Plus, this is your livelihood!! Thanks for your great content!!
"too small for my purpose"... if I had a quarter every time I heard that I could afford an a9. Womp womp.
It’s obviously not going to be as good as the rain cover, but I always just wrapped a good amount of plastic food wrap over my A6400 and used an umbrella if needed. It’s a small enough camera to mostly be able to operate one-handed.
this is a great DIY!😂
I loved this video. Was rather upset because I was hoping that charger was going to be awesome, but I agree that having yet "ANOTHER" cord to carry around - doesn't make it worth it, although online it says it's waterproof?
Either way, thank you for this video. I love it and would love to see more like it!!
"South America"............ ya know what I'm not even gonna touch that.
thanks for those reviews!!
Hi Jason! can you do it with de sony zv1?
great vlog , from what i could see of the battery charger usb , it looks the same as what they used on the Note3 , & you can use a single type usb instead .
Actually this video is exactly the type of medicine that people need to lift spirits. Thanks Jason for this.
OMG!!! I loved the intro.
Loved this video!!!!
Lovely Video!! Lots of Love.. Take care.. Stay safe..! Cheers
