Makes sense! The ibis wouldn’t be much help for vlogging though. Ibis is mainly a photography feature or for keeping a shot steady when you’re not trying to move. The zve10 does have active stabilization which would be much more effective for vlogging
@@erwinmarionneaux I tried the zve10 for a while and just didn’t like how shaky it was with my sigma lenses. And the digital stabilization cropped in too much for me.
Great video and channel. Love my ZV-E1. For the past year, I have been running it with a Viltrox 16mm 2.8. Works great with the Dynamic Stabilization. And it takes screw on filters. I dont think it works with the breathing compensation though.
Use the Nisi true color variable ND. The 1-5 stop threads onto the lens, then an extra 4 stop filter slides on top, making it 5-9 that you can quickly take off to be 1-5 again
I tried that as well. The nisi filters don’t support lenses wider than 18mm and no wider than 20mm when you add the additional filter on top. I also tried a similar setup with polar pro. I prefer their filters but ultimately didn’t like having an extra filter to manage taking on and off
@erwinmarionneaux The Sony ZV-E10 Mark II is, in my opinion, a dealbreaker because it lacks in-body image stabilization (IBIS). This means the footage will often look shaky if you're shooting handheld, unless you use additional equipment like a gimbal or a tripod. The 1.5x crop happens during 4K video recording, which further reduces the field of view. This makes it harder to shoot wide-angle videos, even if you're using wide-angle lenses. Essentially, you're getting a more zoomed-in image, but the lack of IBIS still results in shaky footage. To summarize: The combination of a cropped image and the absence of stabilization makes the camera less appealing, especially for scenarios like vlogging or handheld shooting, where stabilization and a wide field of view are crucial.
Ibis is mainly a photography feature, it has electronic stabilization which is more useful for video, especially vlogging. Other than that, it’s basically the same camera as the Sony a6700. Pair it with the 11mm f1.8 and you’ll have a very wide field of view for vlogging and great stabilization.
Great video, Erwin. I've been using a GoPro Hero 9 Black to shoot videos for my metal detecting channel, but it has some serious limitations. What I like about it: Durability, hands-free voice control, external mic, OK image quality. What I don't like about it: No ability to focus close up. I'm looking for a new camera that will be as durable and hands-off as possible (metal detecting is a dirty, gritty hobby!), but will autofocus at a medium distance, then rack to a close focus when I bring an item up to the lens. External mic is optional if the built-in mic is good and has a windscreen. Voice control would be ideal. Is there such a camera out there???
Ahh let’s see! You definitely need an action camera because durability isn’t optional for your use case. The dji osmo action 5 minimum focus distance is about 14 inches. The ability to rack focus probably wont be a thing because no durable camera would be able to do that. So if you don’t need to get closer than 14 inches, you have options. If you need closer than that, you’ll have to sacrifice a bit of durability
@@erwinmarionneaux Well, dang. I'm not sure that will be close enough. I'd like viewers to be able to see a coin up close in my hand. Do you think a Sony ZV-1F would survive those conditions?
@@erwinmarionneaux Yeah, that's the conclusion I came to as well. I decided to buy a used Sony ZV-1F and protect it as much as possible with a cage, screen protector, filter, etc.
you forgot viltrox 16mm f1.8 for vlogging. best sense. choice ist probably 16-35f4 because it ois. If you combine the oil of the lens with dynamic IS you have gimbal cam
I didn’t forget it, I’ve used it for a while to try it out. I have a few issues with it but mainly the fact that I can’t use focus breathing compensation, the size of the lens, not being able to maximize stabilization, and the hassle of using f1.8 made it not worth considering for me personally
This video is pure gold. Did you ever consider the 18mm Zeiss F2.8 lense. I am not sure how wide I need to go for vlogging but also want wide aperture to use it for creative touch when taking pictures.
I thought about the zeiss lens but it isn’t compatible with focus breathing compensation so it didn’t make the list. It’s a solid option other than that though!
@@erwinmarionneaux I didnt know that its not fully supported, thank you for that. Until I win the lottery to afford the GM16-35 the PZ Version in F4 will be the way to go. Also the power zoom might open up some possibilities.
@@erwinmarionneaux where do you pull all these lenses from. Love it, although the step up to 50mm F1.8 prime lense will be quite big. I want to keep my travel bag as small and light as possible.
An 11mm or 12mm would be perfect for apsc for vlogging if you don’t want to go tighter than a true 24mm because after the apsc & active stabilization crop you’ll be at about ~22mm & ~24mm respectively. Sony makes an 11mm f1.8 at about 500$ if anyone’s interested. This is what I’m aiming to get for my “perfect” vlogging set up
Hello Bro. I am a top content creator and I use a GoPro and Pixel8 phone. I need a tripod that works with both. What would you recommend. I subscribed ❤
What would be your perfect vlogging setup?
FX30 with the Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 or the Sony 11mm f/1.8.
@marvinandrew solid! Why the fx30 over the zve10 II?
@@erwinmarionneauxI’d pick it for the ibis.

@@erwinmarionneaux I tried the zve10 for a while and just didn’t like how shaky it was with my sigma lenses. And the digital stabilization cropped in too much for me.
My set up: the meta ray ban glasses(clutch), DJI osmo pocket 3. I have a dedicated old Nikon film camera and 13pm
Love my ZVE1 with the 24mm 1.4 GM!
I’ve ran that combo a few times! It looks real 🔥

ZV E10 mark 2, no IBIS, a no go. 1.5x crop and still shaky.
What do you mean?

Can we get a cinematic vlog on the Osmo 3 please? I want to see how I can make my gym videos fly.
This video is pure gold.
Did you ever consider the 18mm Zeiss F2.8 lense.

There’s the 16-25mm f2.8 for the same price as the pz as well, that saves you a lot of money from buying the GM lens
@@erwinmarionneaux where do you pull all these lenses from. Love it, although the step up to 50mm F1.8 prime lense will be quite big. I want to keep my travel bag as small and light as possible.
Great video! Have been through a similar thought process. Ended up with the Sony ZV-E1, the Sony 16-25 2.8 and the Ulanzi TT38 tripod. Loving it.
Thanks! Glad you were able to dial your setup in!

Yup! I talk about this in the video
12mm is my go to lens for my FX30.
Which 12mm did you go with?
Once again good advice Young man. I’m a Canon guy, so some of the advice is universal
I appreciate it! That’s why I always try to share philosophy, that way people can apply it to whatever they use
The pocket 3 is so elite
Solid option for sure!
All you really need for vlogging, lightweight, has a gimbal etc
Hello Bro. I am a top content creator and I use a GoPro and Pixel8 phone. I need a tripod that works with both. What would you recommend.

ZV-E1 + Sigma 17mm f/4
Interesting! Like the size of the sigma?
@@erwinmarionneaux yes, because large setups stay at home
What about the Sony 11mm f1.8?
@@erwinmarionneaux good for APS-C (I have the ZV-E10 and 11mm f1.8), but for a dream setup, it's to go full frame
It also works on the zve1 with stabilization applied. The stabilization wouldn’t work with the sigma lens
