Yeah I don't know how these services make money. Hardly anyone uses them but that's Japan for you.Not everything needs to make money as long as it serves a purpose for some.
It was really awesome! They were so nice. I love Japanese people. Yeah all of this is shot with active stabe. It's fine if you're moving forward but as soon as you turn or pivot it jerks around pretty hard. It's that contrast between super smooth and abruptness that might be for everyone. I want to make a longer video talking about it because I think a lot of people still want to know about how good it is.
I really really love your style! As I can see you pulled the trigger on the ZV-E1. Any lenses upgrade also for FF? And now… FX30 and a new baby the ZV-E1?
Thank you :) Very kind of you. Yes, I bought the ZV-E1 for this trip. I wanted something very compact and could do it all. I have two FF lenses. I bought the Viltrox 16mm f1.8 and love it but noticed that it was a little too heavy and the one focal range was very limiting so I bought the Sony 20-70 F4 lens. This was the only lens I brought with my for the whole trip and this is the lens you see me using for these Japan vlogs.
Another very enjoyable piece of japan vlog from you - thanks man! :) In the ninja town I somehow added Naruto music mentally xD Since you used the ZV E1 + 20-70 F4 combo on this trip - did you ever wished for a F2.8? I will probably keep the ZV E1, since it's an amazing video camera with low light performance I never had before. And now I'm looking for a lens and right now I'm rocking back and forth between Sony 20-70 F4 and Tamron 20-40 F2.8. I know I will film a lot inside for family stuff, but that extra reach watching your vlogs shows, it IS very useful - can't decide ^^''
Haha! I do the same when I'm editing. Anime soundtracks are always playing in my head. Thanks for the continued support :) You know what? An F4 lens wouldn't work on 90% of cameras but, because the sensor is so good. I didn't find I was missing out on anything. I haven't edited it yet but I shot at night with zero issues. The base iso of 12,800 isn't mentioned enough. It's really quite mind-boggling. The only thing I wished for in this lens was if it could be a tad bit wider. I'm now looking into the 16-35mm lens. I would even be fine with the 16-35 PZ f4 lens but I can sometimes find the 16-35 F2.8 for almost the same price used. That will probably be my next lens if I purchase another one. I would highly recommend the 20-70 though. It's a very good all-around lens that does everything. The 20-40 might not give you much reach. That's essentially two steps forward lol.
@@noisackda2564 Thx for your reply my friend :) I just watched a few videos on comparison and found a knock out point to pick the Sony 20-70. Looks like the third party lenses don't stablelize as smooth in active compared with Sony native glas. Seeing the difference is for me now a clear choice for the Sony and combined with your experience I think this will work for me + in Germany is 200€ cashback on this lens:) I was also thinking about the 16-35 2.8, but for me personally v1 is to big and heavy for my use, since I will always carry two bodies with me (photo + video, sometimes 3 when I throw film photography into the mix xD) and v2 is just too expensive ^^'' In case I keep working on my channel and it grows, I might justify the v2 GM in 1-2 years, let's see :D
@@IntrovertAmateur I totally get what you are saying! Agree with you on all points :) Your channel is great! I have no doubt you will grow significantly. Plus you're very likable. I'm rooting for you. I had the Tamron 10-20 and the stability was terrible. I heard that a firmware fixed it though. If you are looking for a good fast vlogging lens I would also look at the Viltrox 16mm F1.8. A bit big but excellent value/performance lens.
I use the K&F ones because they are cheap and don't have that annoying X pattern. The colors on them can be a little inconsistent but if you color grade it doesn't really matter.
Yoooo brother nice connecting with you on Facebook! Love getting to see Japan through your lens. Remember my own trip there, it was awesome!
What's up!!! Good seeing you there as well! Let me follow you back. Yeah Japan is something else isn't it? I miss it so much.
Beautiful country ❤️ thank you for sharing. Looks amazing!
It absolutely is! We live in a bubble. The world is amazing. Thanks my friend :)
I haven’t been to Japan since 1977. I can still picture it in my mind! Those places probably don’t even exist any longer.
What I would give to have visited Japan in 1977!
@@noisackda2564 Through the eyes of a 9 year old it was neat. Through the spotty memory of a 54 year old . . . it was magical!
@@thedvsmonkey Haha! In 1977 I was a one-year-old baby in Laos.
I think I could move to Ninja Town (Iga), so chill and picturesque
I think most people would love it. Might get boring but amazing place to visit for a couple of days.
@@noisackda2564 yeah, but then you could write a hit country song, "Bein' Bored 'n Ninja Town"
@@BrianCatalano Hahahaha! You're giving me ideas for my next venture
Ninja town. So cool. Especially the ninja on the train

Yeah it does look very interesting @@noisackda2564
The ninja museum looked so fun! Were you shooting this all with dynamic active?
It was really awesome! They were so nice. I love Japanese people.

one additional question: did you film all these vlogs in Slog3 and color grade afterwards or did you use s cine tone with slight adjustments?
@@IntrovertAmateur I totally get what you are saying! Agree with you on all points :) Your channel is great! I have no doubt you will grow significantly. Plus you're very likable. I'm rooting for you.

@@IntrovertAmateur These were shot in SLOG3. I don't deviate from it since I'm so used to it now. I color correct with phantom luts.
Super cool. So did you all stay in an Air BNB or something there?
I could retire there TBH. The older I get the more pull nature has on me. My wife's family is from here so was stayed with them :P Lucky guy right?
@@noisackda2564 Nice. Definitely lucky, man!
Hey Noi ,life's good.
Which VND filter would you recommend or use?
I use the K&F ones because they are cheap and don't have that annoying X pattern. The colors on them can be a little inconsistent but if you color grade it doesn't really matter.
