ASMR Unboxing Sony A7 IV / 200-600mm / 24-70mm + Test Photos

[@metalmad8978]

I really appreciate the fact you're taking one of your hobbies and including us in it. I'm looking forward to seeing what you capture with it!

[@CaddywumpasFilms]

I work in the camera department at a rental house in LA and I while I was quality checking and cleaning some lenses I thought about what a good asmr video it would make. Then here you are doing exactly that. Can’t wait to see some shots you take. those Sony G master lenses are great!

[@stofosaurus]

Put that on a tripod and photograph the moon when it's crescent and aim at the craters for some awesome detailed shots. A tip is to manually lower the exposure so that the image doesn't go too bright.

[@LukeARenner1]

At 01:07:40 - I love how you can see the shadow of the bird's head and neck, cast onto the back side of the wing that is in the foreground. Stunning!

[@crazybREEzy1]

The most amazing asmr creator out there! Been subscribed for years and haven’t been let down once! Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@Mr.BlindMXB]

It’s nice to finally see one of these huge cameras up close and in a lot of detail. It’s amazing how much quality these huge machines can make!!

[@juaneer]

The camera itself is pretty compact

[@chuomge6598]

1:03:35 That is an Osprey. It's a kind of falcon that feeds primarily on fish. I live by the Chesapeake, and I occasionally will see them dive for fish.

[@imaaduddin7838]

I did NOT know you were into photography/ photography gear! Always love to see others in the community! Much love Rift

[@otakus1216]

You should see the recent video he did showing off old nature/bug photos he took

[@EphemeralRift]

I was heavy into macro photography back around 2005. Gave it up with the start of a family and KZbin. Now I'm back into birds/wildlife in general. Maybe macro again, who knows, but one thing at a time. Forgot how much I missed this passion.

[@imaaduddin7838]

@@otakus1216 I should, thanks for the heads up!

[@imaaduddin7838]

@@EphemeralRift I’m a street/ creative night photographer here, but I absolutely love seeing people’s photos from other branches of photography! Looking forward to more videos Rift!🙏🏽

[@Entropic_Nightmares]

@@imaaduddin7838 Do you have a place that you share your photography on like DA or Instagram?

[@Carbogenetic]

My dad is SUPER into photography AND has been really struggling with sleep. I think I found the perfect video for him :)

[@EternalNyappy]

I bought my first ever camera (other than basic digital camera) second-hand from my friend with two lenses. I can take ok photos of life and events, and view, but mostly portaits and INSANELY sharp macros 😍 Just in time for cherry blossom, I am so happy. I plan on getting a separate lense for landscapes and to zoom in to see the birds from far away. So far I have felt so happy, energetic and peaceful these two weeks I've been going around photographing nature in spring

[@danielecalbucci]

Uncle Rift getting upgrades 😄💪🏻 lets check this new toys!

[@DanihelMetalPromotion]

I love these 'talk about my hobbies' kinda asmr videos. Ultra relaxing! Also learn something this way :)

[@otakus1216]

Spring and fall are my favorite times for nature

[@whoevenknows762]

I am absolutely drooling, someday I want a lens on that level

[@Yamma127]

Hey man I'm a long time viewer? watcher?, but I wanted to say I appreciate your genuineness and vulnerability. I think of you as a role model and a great guy, your work helped me growing up and it's been a great help in calming me down especially over the last couple of years. I've never posted a comment or felt comfortable reaching out but you help me want to be more than I am, its time to go out and be great. Thank you.

[@markdecot5925]

Being a fellow amateur photographer, I did not fall asleep on this one. Serveral of your ASMR vids I have never made it to the end of. You are a world class whisperer sir. Not like those drop dead gorgeous girls who talk too much. You leave spaces. Low noise recordings too, kudos You dropped a serious dime on that equipment sir, congrats! I am so glad that your job of putting me to sleep has payed off so well for you, you deserve it.

[@CirclesandSounds]

It’s great to see you *spreading your wings* in photography! Thanks for including us in your beautiful hobby - and a very relaxing video, as always! 😌

[@seb249]

Good to see very little plastic in the A7’s packaging. Enjoy your new camera ER!

[@JdotCarver]

An underrated detail but really when you think of how many are made, it makes a big difference. 👍

[@Y4wN_]

Would love to see this format again! Amazing pictures and very relaxing to listen to

[@rctd3260]

This is the most creative ASMRist I’ve ever watched.

[@MrNewtube25]

I know I'm a little late to the video, but I just lost my brother tonight and your videos are really helping me stay calm during this whole thing. Thank you for all the content you have made over the years

[@jacobski4824]

“Does it tingle?” Yes

[@SlopYaboy]

I really like these chill, non lore, talking about yourself, something new in your life or otherwise. Really relaxing and allows me to actually just listen instead of wanting to watch for the costumes and lore and such, great work ER

[@connorh2908]

I bought my a7IV a few months ago! Been absolutely loving it. I do more videography but I wanted to have a camera that could shoot “4k60” and still produce high resolution pictures. Having come from a crop sensor a6500 I can still use my apsc lenses for the 4k60 mode! I really think you’re going to love this camera

[@Borg.Dorg.]

Any other unboxing of this stuff would have $10000 in the title for clickbait. This is just a dad who wants pics of chipmunks and I’m fully on board.

[@EphemeralRift]

Don't forget the squirrels!!!

[@mikends2682]

I fortunately own the G master 70-200 mm and I must say that is the best in terms of sharpness, way better than Canon/Nikon. Awesome purchase, awesome content. Congrats!

[@zacharyseal7273]

I absolutely adore this video, nature photography has to be one of my favorite things in the world. I think you should make lots more videos pertaining to this kind of stuff

[@TeamTimeRiders]

Those crackling camcorder sounds are divine! I don’t think anyone would complain if you did an hour long session of just crackling camcorder. I know I wouldn’t!

[@3dshigechi117]

Definitely

[@trashatgames9895]

This is probably my dream camera as a new photographer so it’s pretty cool that you get to unbox it

[@ghavinne]

This is like 5k+ worth of camera gear Subtle flex 💪🏽

[@impendingdoom710]

will now and forever love your voice, your content, and your vibes. been watching you for so long and I've loved you from the beginning, thanks for the content

[@amymadrox710]

Love the foreshadowing

[@puck3580]

Oh I love this video and especially the end talking about your test photos with the little mouse clicky sounds throughout. Hope you can do a longer video of that 🤞🏻 showing off your cool photos and perhaps take us through the process of editing the photos

[@EphemeralRift]

I will see what I can do!

[@theyesman2119]

i havent seen any of your videos in almost a year and then I came across this video and it just made my day, I've always loved your videos and they help me out a lot, just thought I would thank you for that.

[@SwagMoneyIndustries]

These kind of ephemeral rift videos are my favorite. I prefer them to the roleplay videos

I go to that wetlands all the time it truly is amazing there’s some great trails nearby too

[@chubbysurprise4429]

Haven't watched much of you're content in the past year or 2 but I just wanted to say uncle E you truly helped me through highschool, I watched you for years nearly daily for bed and drawing so it's nice to always come back and I just wanted to say thank you for everything and also especially the video the tingle brothers, me and my good friend still laugh about that one. Anyways if you do read this I hope you and your family are doing amazing!!!!

[@holdentudiks7123]

Good now Uncle E. I've been subbed for years now [since about 2014 or 2015 you were rocking the bald look at the time] and I've enjoyed watching you grow as a creator and find new and crazy concepts to make ASMR videos with. You truly do feel like an uncle, a wacky, clever, and a little unhinged kind. I'm always delighted when i see you have made a new video, and appreciate all the work that must go into making them. Thanks for all the tingles and chuckles.

[@jaredmendez5923]

Absolutely the best camera money can buy for a professional and hobbyist consumer. Sony is a fantastic brand (camera) and the fact that my favorite asmrist is using my favorite camera is pretty badass. Btw you can buy adapters for the Sony lens mount for other lenses like old canon lenses or even really really old lenses if u wanted to experiment with a more vintage style.

[@jaredmendez5923]

Also be careful while using your 200-600 on a tripod if wind starts to pick up and u don’t have a sandbag for your tripod it will most definitely blow over… I would know but with a much much cheaper setup lol

[@EphemeralRift]

I hope your 200-600 is okay!

Great camera and lens combo for wildlife you'll love it!

I’ve got some crazy astrophotography photos with this same lens. Well worth the 2k! And great shots rift!

[@EphemeralRift]

Nice! I tried capturing my first moon photo last night, we'll see how it works out.

@@EphemeralRift The Moon shouldn't be too bad, depending on your tripod. You can also get some amazing long exposure shots of a lot of nebulae for pretty low investment if you're into that.

[@sorinsorensen6086]

ER, you briefly mentioned movies as one of your hobbies, more specifically A24, and that made me wonder if you’ve seen any of Robert Egger’s recent work (The VVitch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman most recently)? The unique artistic style and storytelling of all of them makes me think you would enjoy them but I’d love to hear your thoughts.

[@zoebaggins90]

Really liked the Witch and the Northman. Should probably watch the Lighthouse now.

[@EphemeralRift]

Yeah, the VVitch was good and so was Lighthouse. Haven't seen The Northman because I'm sick of all the viking stuff lately.

[@zoebaggins90]

@@EphemeralRift some scenes are a masterpiece (my favourite was partly shown in the trailer, which I thankfully hadn't watched) but I'm warning you that there is A LOT of violence and gore. I literally had to close my eyes during one scene, it was too much for me. My brother loved the film, too. I would describe it as poetically and heroically Pagan. Much like poets, there's some quirky humor in some parts. I particularly liked the male bonding aspects (father and son, berserkers, etc). Some really moving parts about genealogy, too.
