I want you to be the judge and let me know which lens you like better. I did my best to compare everything you all have voiced to me in the student discussion section below. Here are some of the class notes on what we will cover between the Neewer and Ulanzi. Price, what’s in the box, how they’re both installed, how the vlog shot looks, looking at the vignetting and distortion on the outside of the frame, what the picture itself looks like, which lens is wider if either of them is, the weight difference, the usability aspect, autofocus comparison, the threading on both lenses for polarizers and ND filters and my opinion on which one is better.

Do they fit Zv-e10 ?
I thought of getting the Ulanzi one, mainly because i also use a cage on my ZV-1, but i came across the M-Remote brand which works the same as the Ulanzi, and i'm happy with it.
I also wonder if neewer can be used for zv-e10
Do you get any sharpness/distortion around the outside of the frame with the Ulanzi? Seems like the image quality on my Ulanzi is terrible except right in the center, with blurring about 2/3 out to the edge. Adding a polarized filter also vignettes badly around the edges at wide end.
I have the Neewer and have the half cage on the bottom of my ZV1. I like that the camera looks and feels a bit more substantial in the hand. I keep the larger ring on most of the time except when traveling. I havent used any filters with it, just the camera's internal is all I use and need for what I video. Thanks for the short comparison. You and your videos actually made me choose the ZV1 for my videos on my channel. I still love it. Thanks again and keep the Zv1 videos coming!
Thanks for the comment. Oh that’s great. Yes the little ZV-1 is perfect for what your using it for. Ok, I’ll keep them coming
Which half case are you using? I want to buy one, but i dont know which one fits :-) thanks in advance!
@@markace_ I believe the small rig case still works with the neweer lens
I don't even have a ZV-1 anymore but as a person trying hard to be a UA-camr I can appreciate all the work that had to go into making this video because you had to work with putting on and taking off that adapter to show the differences. Of course I know all the extra things you need to do to setup and complete a video .
Hey Ricky, yes you are spot on! it did take an incredible amount of preparation to make sure I was able to get and compare both shots with both lenses. thanks for saying something and appreciating it
this happened with me too.
I initially bought the Ulanzi but didn't like the adhesive or the look so I bought the Neewer before I'd even tried it, and I have to say it's great. Love the ease of fitting and it gives a better angle for vlogging than just the camera lens. After watching this comparison I'm convinced I made the right choice. Thanks for the video man
I've had the Neewer for a couple of months or so now, and I've been pretty happy with it so far. I'll have a couple of new videos coming soon on my channel which use this setup (once I power through a big client video project and have time to work on personal stuff).
I use the UURig half cage which consists of a solid bottom plate and decently sized grip. It attaches via the tripod 1/2 20 socket (my only complaint here is it uses a phillips head screw instead of an allen key, but this can be modified) and leaves the attachment area around the lens free for the Neewer adapter. The Neewer adapter also has a small cut-out at the bottom base of the adapter when installed to allow for cage bottom plate clearance.
I can still get this setup to balance on my Zhiyun Crane M2 if I switch out the attachment plate of the cradle for the one SmallRig makes specifically for the M2 and attach an arca swiss plate to the bottom of the UURig (I use the Peak Design capture clip plates). The UURig has an array of holes on the bottom that allows for a bit more forward placement of the arca swiss plate.
I use the SmallRig cradle plate because it allows for quick detachment of the camera for battery swaps, and since this configuration of my ZV1 is all that goes on that gimbal, i made a few discreet reference marks so I can line everything back up once the battery swap is done.
It takes a bit of fiddling, and it feels like it's getting close to the limits of what the M2's cradle will allow space-wise, but it still works great.
Thanks for the great content, as always!
this is all great information for anyone who is interested in trying to throw it up on a gimbal. I actually was thinking about that as I was editing, but then I realized if I can throw the ZVE 10 up on a gimbal than the ZV one with the Neewer lens shouldn’t be a problem
Hey, haven't watched a Film Alliance video in a minute but I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved the edit and style of this video! It didn't feel like a normal gear video that most creators make, it had a lot of life in it. I've said it before and I'll continue to say it, your work should have way more subscribers. Keep it up, man.
Hey Josh, thanks for the support. I am so glad that you are getting value from my videos. It's because of people like you, that I am motivated to keep going. I really appreciate it. Are there any specific vids that you would like to see anytime soon?
@@thefilmalliance I can tell that you actually appreciate all forms of feedback, so that's why I made the time to comment this :) As for ideas, something that practically no one covers but is critical - media asset management and video archival. For creating a system of how to store all your footage, selects and/or exports for re-usability, if there is one. For another idea, video creation process from start to finish. Writing, filming, editing, even thumbnails. I'm always down to see others' processes on this.
Today I received the Ulanzi and I will keep it. Your video just put my mind even more at ease. Thanks!
Hi Gaby, yes do not worry I think it will be fine. It has served me well. Although I did have a dream that it fell off the lens and broke ha ha
Dude! Your studio shots are looking AMAZING. Love the colors.
I believe I criticized your grading before. It’s fire now!!
Edit: this is definitely one of my favorite videos of yours.
Hey Jacob, well you’re probably the reason why I dug down deep to figure it out. haha Thanks for your honesty and positive feedback. A true friend will give constructive criticism so thanks for that. when I sat down to edit this thing I was like I’m gonna do something different so thanks for appreciating that.
One thing that wasn't addressed was the effect of the Neweer spring rate effect on the ZV1 lense motor. Although the weight of the lens is not directly on the ZV1 lens but if the spring is pulling back then that would cause the motor to constantly push forward in response to maintain the lens extended. Also, if there is any clearance issue on the lense extraction by tightening the clamp on the barrel. Although the lens does come out it is being forced out by the motor so friction may not be great enough to stop it from coming out but there may still be some that can affect the motor
Thank you. Man, whenever I watch videos at your channel I do learn a lot about my own ZV-1. However, since I’m admittedly sometimes slow in my learning to operate any camera, I am though glad I can learn from videos such as yours many I watch repeatedly. They to me are positive as well as very uplifting. Now about your recommendation, I may just decide to get the lens from Neewer and later a gimbal (M2S) too as in a long run it can alleviate any of my need of the wide angle if intended specifically towards vlogs or on handheld shots or where altogether active stabilization and its resultant crop on the ZV-1 might best become an issue that’s possibly been avoided by me just via my usage of the gimbal instead.
Thank you so much for the comment. Some people have commented that I talk to slow in my videos, so I have tried to find the perfect medium. If you have trouble picking up what I am saying, you can always change the speed of the video. Yes, I also would recommend the Neewer, because it attaches to the cameras and won't hurt the motors. What camera do you have?
Great comparison!
I’ve been using the Ulanzi quite a bit lately. I’ve noticed the image quality degrades badly around the edges. A polarizing filter also vignettes noticeably at the widest zoom. My photos look terrible when using it.
I do like that I can quickly unscrew it, and add another filter, so it makes for a versatile tool when you need a wider view.
But, I need to see what’s up with the terrible blurring just outside the center of the frame. Seems odd.
Hey Joe, Love the positive vibes and great teachings of these products
Thanks for all the support:)
I bought the Neewer jet for my Canon G7XIII and absolutely love it. Easy to install and remove and doesn’t interfere with the UURig half cage I have installed. Makes a huge difference for vlogging. Nice video!
Been looking into both for some time... Between the look, lack of adhesive and can work as a place to put my left hand... The Neewer is in the lead!
Hey Chris, yes I agree I think that the Neewer lens takes the lead purely because of the way it attaches. I did think the Ulansy lens was a bit wider but the neewer put off better colors
Wow... This video is so helpful. Thanks to your videos about Sony ZV1, I know about wide-angle lenses for my camera. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I have the ulanzi on one of my two ZV1’s and only 2 things I dislike are how ugly it looks when lens is extended and the apparent stress the lens may go thru each time i turn it on but, just as you mentioned, no issues so far.
As for the neewer, it looks better IMO But, takes away the small form factor which is what makes alot of people love the ZV1. It no longer remains a “pocket camera” and instead will have to be carried in a suitable camera bag just as you’d carry your A7 series camera.
Im sticking with the ulanzi UNLESS the neewer drops to $20 or something lol
i bought the Neewer for the *zv-1f* and it feels like really good glass even on a camera it wasn't initially designed for
i like that with the zv-1f it adds back a degree of optical zoom
Hi! I picked up the neewer a week ago, and I love it. It makes the camera easier to handle, now I can use my left hand to grip the camera like a reflex. Another thing that is great is the chance to use 49mm filters, and neewer have a lot of types to put on. But, it haves to issues: #1 you gonna need a camera case and #2 the macro lens isn't so good, i don't like it very much.
just ordered a used ZV-1 off ebay for $600 with the smallrig half cage , 4 batteries and extra charger , SD card and the neewer lens , can’t wait to start shooting with it , i’ve been watching all your videos on the ZV-1 , i’m sure i’ll learn a lot from it , i love the way you make it easy for dum dums like be to understand !
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I honestly feel like we are a family here. That is great. Please tell me what you think about it when you get it.
So I had both, first bought the Ulanzi, after the default M3 ring I bought the magnetic ring (from a UA-cam video reviewing it) after that the lens came loose 4 times and with luck didn't brake. But that was the moment I decided to move to the Neewer. Now I am so happy for me the neewer is much better and the mounting is much more steady. No more the feeling of loosing the lens. So that would be my personal tip.
Love the video's and really love my ZV-1 it is a powerhouse of a camera in a very small form factor (also have the Crane M3, and a DJI Osmo Pocket 2 as my vloggin set).
Hi Wilco, did the Ulanzi wide-angle lens fall off from the magnetic ring or the sticky adhesive? I can see why you are so happy with the Neewer. It’s definitely well-made
@@thefilmalliance yes i used the adhesive, also cleaned the surface with some alcohol. But it came loose. The Adhesive and the magnet both (first times the magnet, after a few days the adhesive). No i am done with the ulanzi. The newer is the choice for me.
Great review Joe. I’ll keep my Ulanzi. Could you do a video on how you go about prepping for a video. Script, or straight shooter!
Great video coach! I've been using the Ulanzi since day one! NOW... if these to lenses were released at the same time, i probably would've gone for the Neewer just because I don't like adhesives. However, i've had zero issues with my Ulanzi lense so far! Great one Joe!
Hey Tone, that’s awesome. same here. So far so good. what do you mainly use it for? Making UA-cam videos? Vlogging?
@@thefilmalliance yes I use my camera for UA-cam videos and a little bit of vlogging! However I do need to get out of my shell and do more Vlog videos
Installed Neewer lens as well. Runs perfectly with Smallrig L-shape bracket. I like the idea that you can remove the lens with one click of a small button and place it in the case separately.
Great video! Keep us inspiring with your experience!
Yes and I love that you don’t have to remove the cage with the Ulanzi lens. What do you mean you can remove the lens with one click? Please tell us more!
which Smallrig L-shape bracket did you buy? there are a lot of choices.
@@thefilmalliance the button that sticks out from the lens tube, next to camera. You turn it counterclockwise and viola lens is out.
@@nadinek6693 the one with wooden grip, I believe the item number is 2936
@@daknyaz thank you so much! This Sold me on the Neewer Lens!
I recently got the neewer one specifically because of the weight straining on the motors and possibly lens alignment, but now you have me conflicted again! I specifically got the zv-1 because i don't want to lug around a "proper" camera for video (i usually have 2-3 film cameras in my bag already) and the neewer lens with the tube and everything is almost the size of a smallish full frame lens.
You can find the picture when you put both lens on the same screen, obviously, the inside of the Neewer lens is much darker. That means the reflection inside the lens is much smaller than the Ulanzi. Also, the coating seems much better on Neewer. And that is why the output color of the Neewer lens is sharper. And I would not accept the sticker adaptor neither. it is not only the problem of motor, the camera lens group will be collapsing downward because of the long time constant force of attractment. I am talking about the irreversible damage.
I love your content. I have been watching for a while now, Great Job. The Neewer had better AF and the colors from it were much better in the stationary forest scene. Further, the image was much sharper than the Ulanzi in the vlogging scene. keep up the great content.
Loved the pause before saying " On the Film Alliance", that was a great touch! I thought maybe you forgot the channel name for a second, but nope! 🤣👌 I don't have a ZV-1 but it's a very interesting camera. If i were to choose one of these wide angle lenses i'd choose the Neewer simply because i have tons of products made by them and they are always great quality!
Thanks, I like to add little twists like that.
You are the best man and my favorite. Thank you sir!
Wow! This is awesome. I’m Ryan (formerly of Tides On Earth, now LCL DSC GLF). It’s amazing to subscribe to a channel that not only responds to comments (even when there’s as many as you get) but to actually act on video requests! As a content creator, I’ve responded to video requests but not nearly within the short amount of time you did this! Thanks so much for making this. Colours were slightly different in your comparison, but I was pleasantly surprised by how similar they both were. I film a lot in hot conditions so I’m going to go with the neewer. I have an M3 which should be fine. Great comparison! This channel is a must if you’re using a ZV-1! Keep in touch…
By the way! Love how you captured video to make the circular channel logo into a live logo when shouting out my channel!
Hey there Ryan, Thanks for the nice words. It was such a great idea I couldn't put it to the back burner. Thanks so much for your youtube companionship. Ill have to check out your new channel
Thanks, I thought that would make your comment feel more alive haha, Thanks for picking up on that
Love that you took the time to check out my channel! Appreciate your attention to detail.
Very informative. Going with the Neweer.
I LOVE the straight forward review.
Thanks, which one did you decide on?
@@thefilmalliance definitely the neewer, it’s a bit more dollars but I think it’s worth it in the end.
nice....i must think of adding lens to my ZV1...thx you
It looks like I’m getting a Neewer then! I have the Ulanzi and love it but taking off weight to the motor feels right. Off topic I have an Atamos and wanted you’re thoughts on recording with this guy bc I know I can get a clean HDMI out. Basically I want more tools, a bigger/brighter screen and have the TB drive recording.
That nake sense and my ulanzi 18mms is a keeper 😍🤟🏻🤟🏻
yes I hear ya and agree. I’m keeping mine. although that neewer one is a great idea
thanks for comparsion video.Also my ulamzi lens stickers keeps falling off this summer. The neewer solution great and the image looks more sharp than ulanzi, I think also can use for my ZV-E10 16-50mm kit lens(24mm same ZV-1 lens) through one 40.5-49mm adaptor! 😀😀😀
I have both the neewer is just built for the camera better gives it a cleaner fuller look then the Ulanzi quality pretty much the same just depends on your preference really hope that helps anyone 💯💪🏾
Using the Ulanzi on my ZVE-10 with a step up ring. Works great!
Thats awesome Scott. Thanks for sharing with us.
thanks for showing us the comparison. my ulamzi lens stickers keeps falling off because of the heat here in south east Asia.
Great vid, thanks!
Thank you for that.
Great video. Thank you for sharing this information.
Thank you for watching. Which lens do you prefer?
Great ZV1 content as always my friend 👏 I have my big FX6 for professional filming and I wanted a good cam for holidays which is very small 😉 so the ZV1 for me is the perfect holiday cam 💪🏼 I have the Ulanzi wide lens and it is ok for me 👌 best cinematic greetings from germany
that’s awesome. isn’t the FX six the same thing as the A7S three? I feel like I heard about that when the FX6 first came out. I know there’s differences in features but the sensor and everything inside the camera is the same. With that said did my S-cinetone picture profile in the ZVone work for you?
@@thefilmalliance yes i think the Fx6 and the a7sIII have the same sensor 👍🏻 I didn’t test the matching S-Cinetone with both cams, but it I am sure that it will work (thinking of your video 👍🏻) 😀 normally I film in SLOG3 with the FX6 and in HLG3 with the ZV1 🎬 best cinematic greetings
I bought a Sony ZV-E10 and following your channel. The camera is the first digital camera I ever owned. A reason I bought the Sony camera is to utilize already-owned Pentax K-mount lenses. To use the filters for the Pentax lens on the Sony lens, I have also purchased a 40.5mm-to-52mm step-up ring filter adapter. I bought a M-REMOTE 18mm wide-angle lens and used the step-up ring filter adapter to mount the wide-angle lens and it works well. I do not have to use tape.
I have the same camera. So is this Neewer produc compatible, or do I need a separate adapter to make it work?
Great video i wonder if theres a zv2 coming any time soon?
Hi Joe, big fan here. Love your videos! I'm a little off topic but could really use some guidance from you or the community. I know you're all about the "Manual" settings for the ZV1 but I'm looking to get the best cinematic settings for my ZV1 in the "AUTO" mode. My wife is going to be behind the camera recording me doing things and she is not going to learn about aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. I need really easy-to-use settings to switch between cinematic monolog shots and basic slow-motion shots for B-Roll. Does this video already exist in your archives? If not, can you make one or point me in the right direction? Many thanks professor! 🙂
Thanks for the review. I never purchased the Ulanzi because I didn't want to use glue on my camera. I will have to check out the Neewer.
hi Nadine yes if you don’t want to put that sticky stuff on your camera I would highly recommend the Neewer
If we want to have a variable ND filter on , what is the ring size of Neewar lens? Please refer a good variable ND filter for purchase from Amazon .. I love your videos man.great work !
Thanks for the video man👍
No problem, glad that you liked it. Do you have a Zve10?
@@thefilmalliance I have a ZV1 and the Neewer Lenses. The Videos and the Pictures are pretty good. I like the whole system. Greetings from Austria ✌️
Hi, amazing video! I recently bought the zv1. Can I screw 49 mm filters with the neewer attachment instead of the lens? Thank you very much for helping
I purchased the Ulanzi when I first got he ZV1 and have had no issues with it whatsoever. My only problem has been finding a case that it will fit into with the lens attached.
Note that with the Ulanzi, if you attach a variable ND, it will cut into the frame a little. That’s annoying. I don’t know if a thinner filter will do the same.
I used the ZV1 + Ulanzi lens on all the videos that burned me my first 1,000 subscribers. What I found is the sticky ring didn’t last long enough and needed to replace it a couple of times. Looking at the neweer mounting is 100 times better
Very informative video, thx!!!
However, I still have a question, I don't have ZV1, but I do have RX100M5A, do you think it will fit this adapter? Or would you mind measuring the outer diameter of ZV1 lens ring, so that I can compare it to my RX100?
Anyway, great video!!! 👍👍
Hello! Does the Neewer lens matches with the Neewer cage?
Picture quality on the Neewer looks better.
Will the gimbal for Sony ZV1 works together with lens and wide-angle attachment on ? Thank you.
thanks for your opinion about this accessories
I like the Neewer lens! I have soo many more options with it to me. Also people think I got a professional looking camera when I tell them the price and the quality it outputs
Yes the Neewer lens makes the ZVone look like it’s a APSC or full frame camera I love the way it looks. Do you leave active stabilization on?
Haha “image” is everything 🤦♂️ everyone thinks I got a Harley but it’s a Kawasaki 125 motocross … nothing personal mate just saying 🤷♂️ If it gives you the results that satisfy you, imho whatever inspires you to do you is all that matters , not what others think 👍 .. and that’s why I dig Joe and the channel! Here’s what can be accomplished with the zv1 👍 idk I think a lot of folk loose focus cuz of that and that I think is why folk forget the zv1 is supposedly made for and marketed at vloging but Joe shows it’s can be much more than just walking around with your phone or GoPro .. sorry 🤷♂️ it’s in me had to come out 🤦♂️😳
@@thefilmalliance it depends on what I’m shooting but major of the time I do use active stabilization. If I have my gimbal with me I turn it off
@@BLUPRINT1LE good info to have thank you
@@rawbsworld6604 exactly! Go pros are good action camera but the ZV is by far the best camera I had. I’m no pro by any means as I does car videos on my UA-cam channel but it’s great for family photos and a good starter camera. With this camera after I master it I feel like I can handle mirrorless camera with a ease and less learning curve
I'm thinking about buying this camera and I'm a bit confused because it seems like you need to have a base mount bracket in order to attach it to a tripod? Does this also interfere with the Neewer?
If the camera's microphone captures well and wonderful, then what do I need for a wide lens over the original lens? I imagine that the 24 mm lens is a lens that works by extending the arm
Thanks for the review. However, how about the focus distance? Does these lenses able to shorten the ZV-1 focus distance?
Are there any anamorphic options for this camera. I can't find a clear answer anywhere.
Hi, to change the subject have you ever considered comparing Sony lenses to generic lenses? I would love to see such a comparison 😊 Love your reviews!
thx. great info
You bet!
what nd filter would work best with the neewer wide angle lens?
Thanks for the great comparison! Do you know how the macro lenses compare? 😬
Well, it really depends on what you are shooting. What would you be shooting?
@@thefilmalliance thanks for your reply. I review jewelry. So, I wanted the macro to zoom in on details and the wide angle will be good filming myself talking about it on my UA-cam videos. I actually just bought the Neewer. 😬 Hope that was the right choice, lol. But now I need to play with it 🙃😂
I was thinking buying the Ulanzi for my Sony ZV-e10 16-50mm but I just don’t buy it because I don’t even shoot with that kit lens. I been stuck with Sony FE f2 28mm lens. I wasn’t happy with the image quality of that kit lens. May be i need to try it again
If you have that nice lens then I say stick with it. you will definitely get a nicer picture out of that lens compared to the kit lens
For anyone who wanted to keep their ulanzi len and cage can try out MAG filter adapter , but I’m still switching to neewer because it looks cooler
That's a great philosophy to live by. It looks cooler:)Hahaha
Do you feel sony lenses are worth the difference in price compared to Sigma and Tamron? Have you tested a variety of focal length/brand to show the difference? Thank you!!!😊
I have the ulanzi lens and it fell off after maybe a month of using it and I was disappointed. I will be getting the neewer lens 😊
Ugh, I am sorry that happened. Hopefully the Neewer lens wont fall off. Are you sure that it was attached right?
Im leaner towards the neewer. However, if i wanna get a lens cover for it(or does it comes with?) or lens hood, should i get 62mm just like for filters? Thanks
Hi bro, thanks for the video was incredible!
I have a question, do you recommend buying Ulanzi Wide Angle Lens or stabilizer?
(Considering that my videos are focused on vlogs and unboxings)
thank you for you answer.
Regards from Perú
Thank you, I am glad you are getting value from my videos. I would recommend the wide angle lens because it gives you a wider view of you vlogging or unboxing. Hope that helps.
@@thefilmalliance thank you very much for your answer and for all the tips that you share with us!!! Best wish, I'll be attentive to your content.
After a year , my ulanzi lens came loose. I wanted a lens that would fit exactly like the Neewer because I do product showcases. Plus I wanted a wider field of view so I hope it does just a little better then the Ulanzi
Yes, I can understand that. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Do you like your Zv?
@@thefilmalliance for the most part yes. I used to own an A6400 and I had the 16-50 kit lens and the 35mm lens but I wasn't ready for an interchangeable lens system when I watched a preview of what the ZV-1 can do I immediately got in under the promo price that came with the Bluetooth stand. It's a great camera. It does everything but the lens and menu system need an upgrade.
There's another adapter by Zomei, I've seen recommend by some UK channels. Unfortunately it's not available in the US outside of eBay. It's cheaper and lighter than Ulanzi and Newer. Unfortunately it also sticks to the front of the lens like the Ulanzi. However it's not much bigger than a lens filter.
The thing I don't like about the Newer, it not only means you lose the full cage but it makes the camera bigger and heavier. Even if you don't use the actual adapter.
For my uses I've found it easier to just use a handle or a gimbal to hold the camera out a little further. I do have the mount for the ulanzi attached to my camera but I use it for a variable ND much more than the wide angle adapter.
Hey there, I heard someone tell me that they make a magnetic adapter. Have you heard of that?
@@thefilmalliance the only ones I've seen holds a filter to the adapter magnetically. The adapter itself is still stick on. They may exist but I've not actually seen one.
I've been wanting a comparison including the gizmon lens similar to the neewer. It's a little more expensive, but I feel like the review images hold up slightly better? When I bought a cage, I made sure to get one that would hopefully be compatible with this style of clamp on wide angle lens. Does the mounting ring of the ulanzi work as well for filters without the wide angle attached? I like the neewer and gizmon as they seem better suited to running say a 72 or 84mm vnd setup that would be compatible with my other, bigger camera (buy once, cry once, lol - don't want to invest in multiple 400 dollar sets of filters!)
Hey there, you are very intuitive. I actually think the Ulanzi lens is a little wider but I think the Neewer lens gives a very slight better color. Now maybe that’s just my eye and maybe that’s the way the sun was on the woods but I was surprised to see that there were slight differences in both lenses
Thanks for the video BTW, as usual, good stuff!
@@super_slo thank you
I had the Ulanzi lens on my ZV1. While walking in our local theme park the lens just fell off. The adhesive ring just became off the the lens of the ZV 1, and the lens was on the device for about 2 years. Might have to go the Neewer wide angle lens.
Yes, I would def recommend the Neewer lens anyway. It doesn't hurt the motors and it attaches very well to the camera. I'm sorry about your Ulanzi lens, that is a bummer. Do you like your Zv1?
I didn't know about the Neewer lens. I have the Ulanzi but that attachment method bugged me so much I never installed it. However, I now have a second ZV-1 for multi-cam setups so I think I might grab the Neewer and have both set up. I also have both a full cage and a half cage so that issue is sorted. Valuable info thanks.
That’s awesome. Yes I would say get the Neewer over the Ulanzi purely for the way they attach. Also I’m not to keen about possible motor issues down the line. I mean I want to show my grandkids and old vintage ZV-1 that still works.
@@thefilmalliance so once a motor dies the camera is a throw away? 🤔 that’s disturbing thought a motor could be replaced not the whole camera,
@@rawbsworld6604 do they sell ZV1 motors?
@@thefilmalliance haha if I knew that I wouldn’t need you 😝 actually I would assume But reckon it’s a possibility they don’t but in this era whether it’s in stock is the big issue 😳👍😂
Amazing ZV-1 videos, new subscriber here 🙂 I bought M-Remote wide angle lens (full aluminum), mounts just like Ulanzi.
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I honestly feel like we are a family here.
@@thefilmalliance most certainly, thank you for the quality content you've shared on your channel, it is super helpful to most of us.
Useful tips
Good
Thanks, which one did you decide on?
I have already ulanzi
I like to buy another one
But bought have light different only
Thanks bro
Your videos are very useful and nice
I have a zv1f and I’ve seen that the neewer lens is supposed to work with it can you confirm this?
My doubt would be if it’s really necessary to have a lens with the ZV-1, I mean, why would I use it? … I am also a beginner and I don’t know if the standard lens is enough or what would be the difference?
Random question idk if it’s stupid, but could we put a 49mm filter between the adapter and macro/wide lens?
I’m not sure about that. Hopefully someone here at FA knows and can respond on their experience
Because you need the cage to change battery/card without removing tripod, the Neewer design is something of a deal breaker, unless (as you mention)) the cage can be modded to fit. I'm certain I do not want the Ulanzi adhesive design... Perhaps a Neewer v2 will fix the problem?
Yes that is a great point. It is something that I have not figured out yet. Thank you so much for the comment.
I been using the ulanzi for a few months now.. so far so good. Althou the sticky has sagged down abit..i just force it back align 😅 i tip the camera down when turning the camera on and tip it upwards when turning off and just let gravity help the motor...
hey there, yes I hear you that’s how I am too. Mine never sagged down but I’ve always been keen on how long the sticky stuff would actually last. I think a good practice would be to just take an alcohol swab to the lens before attaching the sticky stuff so that it definitely never falls off
@@thefilmalliance Quick question proffesor.. do you only need to do the manual white balance once? Or everytime before you shoot? Thank you
@@KingsRC only once for every new lighting environment. But if you change lights Then you’ll have to redo it but if you go outside you can just do auto white balance
@@thefilmalliance thank youuu soooo much!!! REALLY appreciate how much your vids have helped me with my camera knowledge!
@@KingsRC ya man no problem. I’m learning a ton as we go as well haha
Bought the mag filter and Ulanzi hope it works well
I think you’re the third person to mention this. What is a mag filter? it sounds amazing!
@@thefilmalliance it’s an magnetic ring that avoids screwing on and off the Ulanzi plus you won’t have that glue residue. The magnet goes on the zv1 lens(just let it sit for 24 hours before mounting anything) then the other ring(with the red) goes on the back of the Ulanzi which is a 52mm thread I believe. Your Ulanzi lens can be placed on an off when you need it hope it works.
Which one had better true colors and less distortion?
Can you use the macro lens for more zoom from a distance when shooting video
forgot to ask about transmission loss? how much you noticed or measured?
I'm using it with the magnetic ring on my RX100V
Pretty good extra option.
Wow, I’ve never heard of that. It attaches magnetically?
@@thefilmalliance I'll dig up the company name later - it was designed to attach filters to the RX100 or ZV1, but also works to attach the wide angle adapter...
Very convenient, when you can just click it and pull it off like a fridge magnet... Its a very thin magnetic ring with adhesive to hold it on the lens...
@@Pharesm Incredible information. Thank you what a great idea
if you live in a colder place it doesn't have a problem sticking with the stickers of the ulamzi.
Hi, for versatile uses, with sony camera wich lens do you recommend? FE 28-70mm oss (f.3.5 5.6 SEL287O or aps- c
Sony E 16-55mm f 2.8G(SEL1655G) thanks
Question, are you carrying a microphone on your shirt when you are out in the woods? I wanted to know if the microphone is responsible for the great sound when you are out or if it is something else :)
Yes, I have a mic attached to my shirt. Thank you, thats very nice.
Neewer Wide Angle all the way. I waited & bought it for around $55 during prime day sale.
Yes I agree. wow that’s a great deal. Have you thrown it up on a gimbal?
@@thefilmalliance No, not on a gimbal yet.
@@hihellokitty85 I started to think about this as I was editing the video. But I think if I can get the ZVE10 up on a gimbal then the zippy one with the Neewer lens should be just fine
If I'm going to install a wide lens other than the camera lens that I originally bought in order to save me space in the bag or because it is small in size, I can put it in my pocket, why don't I keep my camera with a variable lens?
Urgent help: I bought the new neewer lens for my zv1. The macro lens is not getting tight. Rather it's circulating. (Unscrewing). The macro lean works fine though. My doubt is, is this a normal operation or I received a faulty product. Please help. My return window closes in 5 days.
What camera did you film this video with?
I got zv-1. I have a rounded image on the sides with ulanzi wide angle. Is it normal? In addition, in 4k 25fps, the video lags even with slow camera movement. Shutter speed 1/50. is that normal too?
I have a Ulanzi but I'm going to make the switch simply due to the fact that it keeps unpeeling. I can't get the stickers anywhere, and I use a teleprompter, so I can't really work with it anymore.
any recommendations for a cage/rig/grip that work ok with this lens?
Sorry I don’t know of one, I get asked this often. Let me know if you ever find one
I think the only use for these adapters is a walk-and-talk, which is why I prefer the Neewer, I don't like the idea of a permanent ring being glued to the rim of the lens
I agree to that. Although the Neewer makes it so that it is not pocket friendly anymore. It’s more of a preference thing.
Does the neewer wide angle lens work for the sony zv-1f ?
Can anyone help can I used either of the on the mark 2. I’m interested in the macro lens.
