Haha - yes. I've been pretty rammed with work these days, so finding time to make UA-cam videos has been scarce. But now with ZBrush for iPad out - I feel like a comparison video between Nomad and ZB for iPad is in order.

@@KuriosCreative Ooh yeahh!!! We are waiting!!!

LOL! 😅😅

😅😅🙈

Hey! I actually usually use my iPad for illustration work. But for 3D work, I have a 24-inch Kamvas Pro, which in my opinion is just as good as the Cintiq. However, now with ZBrush for iPad, I may start using that more often.

@@KuriosCreative Well I can't go for Ipad right now . But searching for a monitor for my setup . Do you have any specific monitor for better view or pen tab is fine .

@@boganx1291 I've been really happy with the Huion line of drawing monitors. I have a Kamvas 24 Pro and love it - amzn.to/3zqvKZS They also have more affordable smaller tablets, or you can find some of their older models on discount. Check them out!

Cool

Hey! So, for short burst filming it should be fine. Even on hot summer days here, I can count on at least 20 mins of recording without heat warnings. If you're really concerned, buy a clip-on fan for it and it'll cool it off well enough for longer recordings. I bought one for mine and it's been working great! This is the one I use: amzn.to/47Gmy0b

Yeah - it's not really meant for long-form recording or streaming. However, if you buy a fan for it, it will run longer. I use this one: amzn.to/47Gmy0b

Thanks! Glad I could help.

1. I didn't know there was a speech stabilizer... does that help with stuttering while talking? lol. In terms of other stabilization, the camera defaults to normal stabilization in 120p. 2. Auto focus is great at 120p. I don't think there is 240p on this camera. I've not tried focus tracking at 120 FPS though. 3. Yes. Exactly the same. I've tested both.

haha ya - I have other cameras for if I need to shoot in rain or elements. ZV-E1 is my light compact carry.

Hey! Thanks for the kind words. Sorry for the late reply - been a busy few months moving. I can confirm it does charge and data transfer via USB-C. However, I'm not sure how long it takes to charge a battery from zero via USB-C as I usually use my external chargers for that. :)

Thank you!

Nice! Ya, I love mine. Haven't regretted it. However, one thing I'd note is that I wish the focus and zoom rings were a little more smooth for video work. The GM lenses are still better for that.

Case in point: My wife just found a used M1 Studio Max w/ 32Gb RAM, 2TB drive, for $1500. Is that ample for my use case?

Hey! So sorry for the delay. Been a really busy season of life moving and merging my business... My recommendation would be to go with a used M2 Max if you can swing it. The extra GPU cores make a difference... also, go for the max amount of RAM you can afford. While unified memory is great and super fast, the early reviewers were wrong about not needing as much. I've found that with heavy multitasking or editing, I'm happy to have 32GB but wish I had 64GB at times. These days with the M3 series out and M4 around the corner, the prices on the older models are continuing to drop. So it's a great time to be in the market! I will say tho - for 3D work, I am interested in what Apple does with improving raytracing, etc. The M3s now have better raytracing, but still not competing with nVidia. However, I think it's a matter of time before Apple starts making some real strides in that area. We'll see!

Sorry for the late reply... ironic after your opening comment. Haha. But see my reply below for more info.

​@@KuriosCreative Heh. Yeah, it is, but it worked out all right since I didn't end up buying then anyway. My wife uses her laptop most of the time anyway, so she told me to use her base M2 Mini. Still haven't used it for any of the limited 3D work I mentioned, so that remains a question, but it's handled the Adobe suite projects I've done with zero problem so far while multi-tasking. Granted, they're nothing terribly challenging, but I really wasn't sure how it would do at all with just 16Gb RAM. I agree about the market, with the M3s coming out soon. I should be able to get a souped up M2 Max for a comparative steal by the time I'm actually able to buy. Thanks very much for getting back to me despite the lag. I'll definitely be taking all that into consideration when I do buy. Made sure to hit the subscribe button, too. Great real-world content, which is the best kind.

@@ZeamersEagerBeavers Awesome. Thanks man! All the best to you on your creative journey. :)

Thanks!

Awesome. Glad I could help!

Thanks. Cool - have fun!

Thanks. I ran most of my tests with the camera plugged into a USB-C power source. However, I would say that in a hotter climate, don't count on this camera being reliable and you should probably buy one of those clip-on fans for the ZV-E1 which helps a bit. If long record times in a hot climate are needed - for reliability, you're better with an FX-30 or A7IV in my opinion and they're in a similar price range.

@@KuriosCreative i already have the FX30 that is a great workhorse...i want this one as an option for extreme low light situations and also be more inconspicuous... would get the A7s/fx3 but just feels it's going to get updated soon...so yeah i'm trying to figure out how much the clip on fan could really help...

Yep. Very true a lot of the time. There are a few out there though. However, I've realized that's because the guys doing work are usually too busy to be YouTubing.

350F for 40 mins then broil for 10-12 mins for a nice crisp finish

It depends. Technically, you can make anything on it - however, depending on what you're creating and how resource-intensive it is, the Mac Studio may not be the most powerful thing to accomplish it... However, if your project is not resource-intensive (i.e. not crazy poly counts, a lot of simulations, effects, high-res textures, realistic shading and SSS, etc.), then the Studio might be fine. However, if your project is going to be very resource-intensive to run and render, then a PC build may still be the best bang for the buck. However, I'm interested to see how the M4 line of chips may help the Macs catch up to PC GPUs like the RTX4000 series. The important question to ask is: why do you need a Mac over a PC? I think that if you don't have compelling reasons for choosing Mac over PC in terms of things you can't get on a PC, then you might want to look into the PC option and draw up a comparison in terms of pros and cons before making your decision. Also, remember that "good animated movies" are more about the story and quality of animation. Sometimes people over-focus on having pretty visuals and neglect the core principles.

Hey! Thanks for great explanation. I will consider the points mentioned by you while buying(Mac studio). The only reason I am biased to buy Mac is because I am a frontend developer so also want to try out building apps for iPhones in future.🙂

@@kireetjoshi3711 Ahh yes. That's a legit consideration. :)

Trini to de bone! lol

hahaha... my wife's face when I was explaining to her what I wanted her to do was the best part of making this gag. 🤣

I don't find it's a big deal for me TBH. I almost always use S-LOG3 because it gives a slightly better dynamic range. It's not an issue once you light your scene well and are shooting at the base ISOs - which is my normal use case. Noise only becomes an issue when you move further away from the base ISOs. But you can also use DVR noise reduction to help with that...

@@KuriosCreative what is DVR noise reduction ? sony should at least give us an option to choose SLOG2, don't you think ?

@@hersh_yt hey - DVR = DaVinci Resolve. It has a really great noise reduction effect that you can add to any clip to reduce the amount of camera noise. And yes - that would be ideal if Sony included SLOG2 in this camera... but they do have it in other cameras. I own a few different Sony cameras and some of them have SLOG2 (although I seldom use it personally). I don't know their reasons for leaving it out of the ZV-E1 🤷‍♂

@@KuriosCreative I have shot videos with a7m3 for few years and based on my close analysis Slog2 performed better in higher ISOs and Slog3 was pretty much unusable 🥲

@@hersh_yt yes - I own an A7III also and I agree that SLOG3 is unusable on it. But I think that's because it shoots in 8 bit and not 10-bit. Now, I only shoot 10-bit and SLOG3 works fine.

Thanks! Ya, it was really great to work with - and for the price and what it does, could be a good tool for video editors or colour graders who need to make film looks frequently.

$449 usd affordable? Not exactly ;)

Thanks so much! really appreciate the kind encouragement... we'll see if the algorithm gods favour me... lol. 😅 I'm not putting a lot of weight into YT right now as I've got a lot of other things to focus on. But when I do create content for YT, I wanna make sure it's top-notch.

Thanks @candiceshirley8225 👍😁

LOL... I had a feeling that line would get people. Thanks for the kind words! And go for it man... DaVinci Resolve isn't as hard as you think it might be. I was switching over from Premiere myself this year, and I was pleasantly surprised by DVR. Once you get into it, the layout and flow make a lot of sense. The biggest thing for me is reprogramming the muscle memory for the short cut keys. haha. I still accidentally hit the Premiere ones. But probably doesn't help that I go back and forth between the 2 programs depending on the project I'm working on. All the best to you!

I've actually tried it both with my rig/cage and without and I didn't find any significant difference. So, idk. At least for me, it didn't really make an impact.

LOL - if only it worked that way. At the end of the day, the ZV-E1 is not the FX3. People expecting it to be are gonna be very disappointed.

@@KuriosCreative i dont think so its just with less customizable options than the fx3 but has nearly same image, and you cant choose that high bitrate with zv e1 but for me a non professionell, its enough and the 1800- 2000 dollar are not worth it but for professionell it is maybe, and overheating is not an issue if you not shooting podcast or so, zv e1 is just not for podcast but any other normal shooting where you not shoot 30 minutes straight

yep - agree@@Unbekannt42424

@@KuriosCreative thanks for your humbleness tho, most youtuber think they are a big deal, so they dont answer some normal comments or so, nice that some dudes are still humble these days, stay like you are,

yup. 100%. Thanks for the kind words!@@Unbekannt42424

Listen to what?

Awesome. Glad it was helpful. :)

Awesome! Yep - it's been fine for shooting short-form content for me. Typically, if you're recording less than 25-30 mins at a time, you'll hardly have any overheating issues. I've also found that recording short bursts all day on a sunny summer day is fine too. Enjoy the new cam!

Thanks for your comment and question! I'm currently running ZB 2022 on an M2 Max with 32GB unified memory running Sonoma without any issues... so I think it will probably be fine on an M1 once you have enough RAM for your projects.

@@KuriosCreative thank you so much! I was so hesitant to make the jump. I feel a lot better knowing this. I’ll dive with Ventura first. you just brought awesome news to my crappy day. have an awesome week!

@@acosorioAwesome man. Enjoy!

@@KuriosCreative I’m happy to share that zBrush 2022 is running well in Ventura. Also, Substance Painter and Designer (perpetual licenses not Adobe) running fine. I will wait a bit, but planning to jump on Sonoma soon. I’ll keep you all posted. Awesome weekend!

@@acosorio Excelent! Curious - where did you buy your perpetual license for Substance?

Thanks so much! Appreciate the encouragement. It's just been hard finding time to do UA-cam content and manage running my business. I do have some more content planned, just need to get the time to produce it - so stay tuned! :)

oh 100% - very true. You can tell the difference just between recording in summer vs spring/fall/winter here. If I were recording in a hot climate, I wouldn't count on the ZV-E1 for long recordings at all. But that's why I have different cameras for different needs. You just have to choose the right tool for the job.

Basically - if you warm up the ZV-E1 by turning it on for about 10-15 mins then giving it a rest for 15 mins before your long-form recording, it seems to be able to stay on longer. However, I wouldn't use this "trick" as a guaranteed way of getting consistent long-form recording out of the ZV-E1, but I have used it multiple times and it seems to give better results than when I just do a recording from a "cold" start. Ultimately though, if you want a reliable camera to do long-form recording, the ZV-E1 is not your camera. Cheers!

I thought it was just me man. The rambling is insane.

The answer is sell it

Hey - thanks for the question. I have no experience with using the A6700 - so, I can't tell you from experience. But here are my thoughts having used the ZV-E1, A7III, FX-3, and A7C... 1. You just can't beat a camera with an in-built fan (like the FX-3 or FX-30) for reliability in long recording times at higher temperatures. I'd say that in 30-35C temps, you should not expect the A6700 to reliably run for 2+ hours. It may do it from time to time, but I doubt that you could rely on it. The smaller camera bodies are not as good at dissipating the heat. However, I have found that the larger camera bodies are a lot better with heat. For example - The A7III vs the A7C both have the exact same sensor and internals - but the A7III (even without an internal fan) will reliably run longer than the A7C just because of its bigger body which helps with thermal management. I've not personally used the Canon R8, but I remember when researching whether to buy it a while back I saw that other users were having overheating issues with it also for long recordings outside. So, I'd imagine that it has the same limitations. Here are my recommendations: If you're shooting professional paid work you need to be sure it will not fail - get a camera with a fan. The Sony FX-30 is about the same price as the ZV-E1 and has a fan plus some pro features that the ZV-E1 doesn't have. Yes, it's an APS-C sensor, but that's fine if you have good lighting. Otherwise, the FX-3 is the next option (but a bit more pricey). Otherwise, if those aren't options, I'd go for a bigger body full-frame camera - like the A7III or A7IV and then use an external recorder for long record times in the heat. The truth is, if you want to do pro work, you gotta have pro gear. But if you're doing pro work and getting clients, after a few jobs the gear should start paying for itself. It's an investment. But you know your own situation and budget. Hope that was helpful! 😉 (Feel free to use the affiliate links if you're buying from Amazon... hehe)

Hey - yes, I use the huion 24 pro. I love it! I've used my iPad Pro sometimes when I'm not at my desk, but the main reasons for me were: ergonomics, responsiveness and screen size. The small screen of the iPad gets really crowded with the ZBrush interface on it. And although it is pretty handy as a mobile solution, it isn't as responsive as my Huion display tablet. Also, having it mounted on an arm makes it really easy to reposition and much better for working on it for a long time without arm fatigue. When you've been doing this work as long as I have, you realize how important ergonomics are for long-term health and happiness! haha.

@@KuriosCreative thanks . Well I was expecting some good from I pad , for us this time. As I have invested in laptop i don't want to go on desk setup ,kind of needs some flexibility. Well do you use external monitor with your macbook bro or its a seperate setup✌️

@@boganx1291 My everyday setup in my office is with a 24-inch 4K colour-calibrated monitor and the 24-inch Huion display tablet. When I'm on the go, I either use a smaller Wacom tablet (non-display) or the iPad Pro - depending on the work I'm doing. For illustration on the go, I just use the iPad Pro with either Procreate or Adobe Fresco. For 3D work on the go, I actually prefer using the Wacom tablet even though it's not a screen tablet because of the better responsiveness and because the iPad screen is small. Sometimes I use Nomad 3D on my iPad Pro to sketch 3D sculpt ideas then bring it over to ZBrush to finish. But generally speaking, I haven't really used the iPad as much for ZBrush and 3D work in my workflow. It's nice to have as an option though, but realistically, I find it clunky to work on because of the small screen size. Other creators might be fine with it - but for me, I prefer working on a bigger screen. One thing that is nice with the iPad Pro is using it as a second monitor on the go to edit video - I like that as a mobile option since I always struggle with screen real estate on a laptop for video editing. Hope that helps!

@@KuriosCreative Nice i use xp pen pen tab. I guess its enough for me .Can you advice me on this ZBrush Perpetual 2023 from toolfarm or 2024 Annual subscription . Its get bit confusing. What you are using Right now .
