@PetukCouple the vignetting is quite pronounced at times when turning. Then you may keep that in mind and keep the talking parts of your vlogging to the « walking straight sections », or maybe crop out the image a little bit to remove the occasional vignetting. You can also (I don’t recommend it) remove the rear baffle of the lens to reduce the vignetting further. All these are quite a bit of compromise and after months of use, I stopped vlogging with this setup and moved to the DJI pocket 3. I find it easier to use and still pretty good image quality. There are also some small and ultra wide full frame lenses that have been released in the last year or so. You may want to do some research on these too.
Great video Dude... One thing I noticed on the pocket 3 is all vertical objects like the lamp posts and window frames never lost their shape like the fisheye lenses do... 😊... Subbed...
It’s possible, think my face went partly out of frame for a very short time and then it reacquired focus very quickly after adjusting the framing/tracking
When you reframe the footage in the app or studio, you can zoom out to help getting wider angles of view, that will help faking drone shots, with those regular length sticks. Longer sticks work better for this purpose though, but I find them either inconvenient (cheap ones) to use or too expensive (official insta360 one)
Depends what you will use it for. Pocket 3 better image quality, better for vlogging, low light or “cinematic” videos, action 4 better for mounting everywhere, wearing on chest/head, rainy days, and all the action/sport or use case with risk of dropping.
Yes, it’s so versatile, if you’re planning to wear it on chest/helmet, mounting on vehicles, bikes etc, it’s probably the way to go. Pocket 3 is a bit more of a luxury, but I looks so good 😀, I couldn’t choose!
I think traveling or going around with the pocket 3 is going to be a nightmare, that's why I decided to buy the action 4. In the end what's important is how good, creative and authentic your content is. Or the cool memories you make. I think the action 4 is the way to go, well at least in my opinion and in my situation where I'll be making a lot of travel vlogs and meed not to worry too much about taking care of the camera.
Also, when traveling, being comfortable with your camera of choice is important as it will impact how often you’ll be using it. If ruggedness, waterproofing and ease of use is essential to you, Action 4 is the best by all means. Have in your pocket ready to shoot anywhere, anytime! You lose a bit in image quality, low light, background blur, but it’s not something everybody needs. That said, I haven’t had any issue traveling with my pocket 3. I just decide when to use it or not (I even used it a bit while skiing).
Thanks for the test. I've read the comment that you use A7iii for this test. Since you got E1, is dynamic stabilization + 1.3x clear image zoom will be the best setting?
Hi there, when using dynamic stabi with the ZVE1, clear image zoom is disabled (works only in the other stabilization modes). I usually crop in post between 1.1 to 1.2 times depending on the movements involved. Disclaimer: I have removed the rear baffle on the lens (probably won’t recommend it as you will lose warranty and resale value) to reduce the vignetting a little further, so you may need to crop 1.2-1.3 times, not sure.
@bladerealm124 I think it reduces vignetting around 5-10%. Quite tricky to but it back but possible I reckon, however I’m pretty sure it would void the warranty. Not sure I’d recommend doing it tbh
Great video. The part when you pass by the scaffolding is a torture for the camera, kinda moment of truth, and that it's great. Your use of the necklace (I guess from Telesin) is really creative.
Thanks! Yes that was surprising that it managed to track me again. And yes necklace is from Telesin, although I think DJI have their own necklace mount now that looks very similar. It’s really useful!
No gimbal used. I used a free software called Gyroflow and a GoPro 9. Gyroflow allows to use the gyro data (in this case that of the gopro) to stabilise any camera. I made a long video about it a while ago if you want to check it
I don’t think so, not yet, because you will need the receiver which had not been released yet. However you could use the internal recording and sync it in post
@JustinPulitzerTrades the Mic 2 connects directly to iPhone 15, but not to the action 4 according to DJI answers in their official forums. I have also tried and it didn’t work. Unless someone has a magic trick doesn’t seem to be possible
@@AmaraBenjamin @dannyblack Has a video of the Mic 2 working w/ the Action 4. It's a brief clip. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3dXof1JylSU.htmlsi=I0nW8Xp38eW4OfpQ&t=211
What ND filter do you use for Sony 11mm lens? I attached my variable ND and it created massive vignetting event though I’m using the dynamic active stabilization
Hi there, I don’t use NDs on the 11mm with the ZV-E1, because I mainly use it with dynamic active stabilisation, which works best with a high shutter speed. If needed I sometimes add artificial motion blur in post (resolve has a good one).
You can but don’t have too, it’s a matter of personal preference. I did on the running shot if I remember well. It works well but the processing is quite heavy!
Hey there sorry for the late answer. I made a long form video explaining the process. You need to use a separate camera that does record gyro data (like a GoPro for instance) - have it mounted with the a7iiii and then you load the clips from the 2 cameras alongside in Gyro flow
Hello! I will recive tomorrow Sony ZV E10 and the 11 mm lens. Can i use ND filters without vignetting on this wide angle? Do i need a bigger filter with a step up ring? Thanks!
Hi Claudiu, for what it’s worth, I tried the 11mm on the zv-e1 in crop mode, with the ND I got (72mm) and a step up ring and there was no vignetting. I don’t have any 55mm to try on the lens so I can’t tell if it would introduce vignetting or not, sorry
@@AmaraBenjamin Nice. Someone told me that the fixed ND filter is better then variable one for vignetting. I want to buy 3 fixed ND stops, can you recommend me 3 numbers(with fixed stops)? Maybe 3, 5, 8 ? Thank you!
@claudiubanu8438 I like working with variable NDs, because I tend to adjust the exposure level a lot. I also like to get bigger filter size and adapt them to my various lenses with step up rings. For instance, I have a 72mm VND 2-400 that I can adapt to the 11mm in crop mode, and it doesn’t vignet. That said, if you want to go with fixed NDs, 3 (nd8), 5 (nd32) and 8 (nd256) sound good. Try getting filters with slim rims (avoids vignetting) and double threaded so you could stack them if needed (but don’t screw then too tight so you can unscrew them easily). Generally I do think VNDs are more practical for video and NDs are better for photography when you have time and control, and want ultimate image quality
