Best Camera Accessories For Sony a6000!

[@michellewelch6013]

My a6000 is my first real camera. Holy Moly it was scary. My son wants me to get into real estate photography but when you are used to snapping a photo with your cell phone, lemme tell you there is a learning curve! I purchased a 70-210 zoom that I’m not crazy about, a 35 mm 1.4 that I LOVE, and a wide angle 11-24 for RE if I ever get there. this camera has been a real treat to use AFTER i finally figured it out and took a photography course. So now that I get the “triangle” and some other basics, I’m looking at videos showing me more. Yours are easy understand, clear, not too chatty, and hey it looks like. You give stuff away now and then. Cool! Thanks for being there teaching me. :)

[@kyletaggart]

Aw no problem! And yeah it’s intimidating when you dive in but now that you have the basics it’s more of garnering more creativity!

[@Wahlflower]

AWESOME VIDEO! Some video Ideas I would love to see. 1.) Low Light Photography Help 2.) How to customize the buttons on your a6000 to you. Sometimes I think they are too confusing and I think there's a way to customize the buttons to work for me 3.) I'm confused about the different series of lenses for the camera. G, E...all different letters. How do they work with the camera and how do they differ???

[@kyletaggart]

Done done and done! Thanks for all of the ideas! 😊

[@texastippn]

I'm honestly so glad you made these videos for the a6000. All the videos I've found are some years old and like an hour long. I end up falling asleep. Thanks for these short videos!!! Keep it up!

tilt the camera upside down to blow out the dust, otherwise, dust just falls on it. if its facing downwards zero dust gets in

Can you do a review for camera bags? Specifically for a6000 sigma 16mm f.14 lens? :D

[@stekkerbox]

This is why I love watching small KZbinrs, they most of the time respond to questions. If you have 100k+ subs you can only answer a few

[@kyletaggart]

Honestly, that’s something I dislike about some creators, HOWEVER, it’s been actually really hard to keep up with the comments this last video. It definitely puts it in perspective for me. I love it though, I’d rather put in the time and effort to respond, then have no comments at all. It’s been incredibly humbling lately. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! ✌🏻

hikyletaggart no topic requests at the moment! Or maybe if you use a certain bag to carry all your gear?? I've been looking for one. Even if it just fits the body and a lens.

[@kyletaggart]

I have just the thing! I use a normal Herschel backpack and a camera lens/body insert. It fits perfectly and you can arrange 3 compartments. I’ll have to show it in a video! Maybe a “what’s in my camera bag”.

[@jacobbautista6338]

I got mine yesterday man thank you for the videos I'm a canon guy and just switched up and i love it!!!!

[@davidlewis5929]

So one f the best things about the Sony camera line and the 2nd charger you showed is that they can be charged via USB so if you go on long trips in which reliable electrical sources are less common one of the many "power banks" is a must. I was on a safari trip in South Africa and over the course of a couple days we didn't always stay in places which had electricity (or the transportation didn't allow for it) and between two extra batteries and a power bank I was easily able to have enough power for when it was needed.

[@kyletaggart]

Very good point! Will possibly show one in another accessories video down the line!

Is there like a mirror you can clip on the back to see your own selfie screen, without having to make your own like I saw in another video? Otherwise I stand in front of a mirror to do selfies unless I use the remote control app.

[@kyletaggart]

You can of course. I haven’t done it though.

[@kyletaggart]

Thanks man! This mic is awesome! ✌🏻

[@emescueta]

My fiancée and I are also planning to buy an A6000 soon, and your videos are helping us a lot with our decision. One of the things we'd love to see is how the tracking autofocus (is it how they call it in Sony?) in this camera performs, because we're also planning to use it to film our travels. And hey, almost 1k subs! Keep it up, man!

[@kyletaggart]

It’s great. This little camera has an amazingly fast autofocus. Of course it depends on lenses as well. I’ll have to do a video on the whole focusing system and it’s speed. Also thank you so much, I just hit 1k overnight!! If you do choose this camera and use a link from one of my videos, that would be amazing. Stay tuned for more videos and thanks for commenting!

[@hodeman]

Small camera rig. For protection, mounting more lights and my old Zoom H2N. I think it also cools the camera down a bit while doing video

[@princeharbinger]

Thanks for the recommendations. The dual battery charger is always great, and I agree the cable is to short.😕 I wonder if that sensor cleaner works any better then a baby nasal sucker. I would recommend the Neewer 40m 130ft Underwater PC Housing Camera Waterproof case. If you're into scuba diving, snorkeling or want to protect your lens that isn't waterproof from the rain.

[@kyletaggart]

I definitely want to get an underwater housing case. That’d be awesome. Thanks for the rec!

[@rdailey4]

Kyle, I have the same remote as you and I found that when I go into settings and turn Remote Control to On, then my rear LCD does not time out. It just stays on til the battery exhausts itself. Once I go back into settings and turn it off then all is good again. Have you noticed that on your A6000?

[@kyletaggart]

Have not, I don’t use the remote often. When I have I didn’t notice the LCD staying on. Interesting.

[@M0PES]

Follow up video with new accessories?

[@Mike-jx2uj]

Binging on the a6000 videos. Just ordered mine fairly cheap online. Needed a camera ASAP as I just sold my old a58. Couldn’t quite afford a6300

[@kyletaggart]

You’ll love it. Lots of features, mirrorless cameras are great, and you can grow and get better lenses as you go! ✌🏻

[@gemlenz]

Like your vids. I think you keep it real and not so tense. The content is relevant and current. Subscribing now. I was looking at the A6300 with it's 4K capabilities, but unless you are viewing on a 4K device, what's the point?

[@Wriotheslay]

When it comes to 4K video if it's been downscaled to 1080p it has a sharper look. So it could be worth shooting in 4K for that reason alone.

[@kyletaggart]

Crop ability. It’s a bigger resolution and you can crop in and still have great quality. However yes, most people - most phones, etc, are 1080p. If a video is published in 4K and you have a 1080p display it will be downscaled when viewed.

[@LuisMuniz2]

By now you probably upgraded. But my first extra was a double battery. I just did the cross over from analog photography to digital this year... Yeah I am old. 50. Digital has been awesome I like the a6000 great choice for me and street photography and with the double battery holder I get around 4hrs of Walk time and shoot. I actually get tired before the batteries die.

[@kyletaggart]

I still use my a6000, along with my a6100. :)

[@arnavtaluja3458]

Bro I am from India and I very much appreciate that u reply all the messages ......I just wanna ask that weather I shoul buy sony a6400 or nikon z50 for beginner photography ....as my 2nd camera .....pls tell .....would appreciate

[@kyletaggart]

I hear good things on the Nikon Z, so I'd consider it. Take a look at the lens family of that camera though, I'm unsure how much Nikon has been backing that camera. The Sony a6400 has tons of lenses to choose from when thinking about photography long term. The 6400 also has more potential for video, if that's something you're considering later on.

[@dyaniroberts6924]

How do you sync the sound with the mic you used? Also, I am starting a channel and I didn't realize the a6000 didn't have a way to connect to an external mic. So thanks for the tip!

[@kyletaggart]

To sync the sound you can clap 3 times once you begin recording on the camera and mic, when you bring in the audio on your timeline you’ll see the 3 spikes from the claps at the beginning rather clearly. You then match the external mic timeline to the normal timeline wave lengths. I use final cut x, so my next step is detaching the audio of the camera video, then I delete that audio. Then I make a compound clip with the external audio and the camera video. It sounds like a lot but it takes literally 1-2 minutes. I may make a video on it!

[@dyaniroberts6924]

hikyletaggart yes I’d love a video on that, thanks again!

[@KyleJWest-vn9kn]

I've been trying to get my a6000 setup so I can use my phone as a remote but no luck! It doesn't seem to work.

[@kyletaggart]

If you have the remote setting on you will see a little icon on the screen showing it. Then you have to point the remote at the camera in a specific way because the signal is received at a particular spot. Once you get the hang of it it’s easy, but I had a difficult time at first too!

[@ryantoves1911]

Sony is using a different app called imaging edge mobile now. I had same problem

[@jonathanpiccione7447]

Did you use the remount for the camera instead of the phone?

[@MinaKoko]

Hi don’t you use a ND FILTER for the A6000?because I find that it is too sensitive to the light when the weather is a little bit sunny, the video is too surexposed...

I thought the sound was already good before you mentioned you recorded it using zoom. Just listened to the other two videos and this had the significantly better audio.

[@kyletaggart]

I took my time and tweaked my first 3 videos within final cut. I tried my best to make them sound decent! Background music also helps mute issues. The Zoom H1 is awesome. So glad I got it. Gonna talk about it in a “My KZbin Setup” video!

[@357jokes1]

Plzzz a video of how you set up the mic with the a6000 i need a mic in my life

[@kyletaggart]

Will do! It’s pretty easy. ✌🏻

[@gemlenz]

I have an A6000 rig. Without an audio input choices are limited but not impossible. Here's a couple of ideas: 1- www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HWGZSZM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2- www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016C4ZG74/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 In the second one you can plug it into your smart phone and use a sound recording app. I like the first one a lot (wireless) and I plug the lavaliere mic into it (optionally). Either way it works good. Gives you total control over audio once you load it into your editing app. I use Filmora.

[@MGDragonfree]

George Lenz that would suck for vlogging wouldn't it?

[@jo_ey]

Check out the adapters for old lenses. For example the Canon FD to nex adapter by k&f concepts. I bought a couple of old canon FD lenses and I love shooting with them.

[@kyletaggart]

Is there auto focus with them when using the adapter?

[@nauolin]

For the FD, it's only manual focus, and not stabilized. By the way, the camera has peak focus assistance that helps to get manually in focus (and a zoom magnifier tool that could be assigned to any button). There are amazing fast lens for a bargain. As longer the lens, the harder to get sharp photos. I have a 135mm f/2.8 a 50mm f/1.8 and a 28mm f/2.8.

Hello Kyle. Thanks for the video. Please suggest a decent variable ND filter for my A6000 lenses. The 30mm f2.8 and the Sigma 56. Are the regular Amazon ones any good?

I’ve seen that ppl tend to think there’s a “get what you pay for” thing with Nd’s. I have some from Sandmarc and I like em, but I’d maybe look for one that’s magnetized or something where it’s easy to take on and off / has great reviews.

Can you give us a video about the settings you use on your camera? I'm a beginner and not really sure how I should setup all my camera settings for optimum picture results. Thank you!

[@kyletaggart]

Use Aleta tire priority. Then you just need to worry about the F stop. Higher f stop for the whole image on focus, low f stop for just object in the foreground in focus. Exposure comp up if the light is dark. I may do a video on further settings though!

I am fast charging my a6000 with BlitzWolf BW-S6 charger (I also use it to charge my iPhone), coupled with 3ft Anker micro-USB cable. Charger has Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 chip, so it charges the whole battery in one hour, while providing protection. It takes 5 hours for the full charge with the kit charger. Also, Anker power banks are great for charging on the go (they too allow fast charging) I hope someone finds this helpful :)

The Sony ECMW1M bluetooth mic system would be another interesting accessory for the A6000! The receiving end attaches to the multi-interface hotshoe and mic-end of this kit has an additional mic-input for, lets say, a lav mic! So there´s actually a real wireless audio solution for the A6000.

[@kyletaggart]

How much does that run?

[@fetzinger10]

It´s currently 170 on Amazon.

[@fetzinger10]

It´s basically a mic-jack upgrade for the A6000 body on a wireless basis! Even provides it with a headphone jack! Lavikka Photography, Craig Shipp and others made videos about this thing. Works pretty well.

[@sed613]

Dude I love you we went from the exact same cameras to the a6000 and I'm roughly new to the a6000 and what pisses me off about it is the focusing. I have the auto focus or I have a button set for the focus but by the time I get ready to take the picture it moves out of focus help me

[@kyletaggart]

Nice!! Use AF-C and hold for focus, or look into “back button” focusing technique.

[@FridaandLuna]

The manfrotto pixi did me well with the RX100 and seems to be okay with the A series but it’s a little front heavy so you gotta be careful plus it helps get away from that Casey look, lol. I had picked up the H1 zoom with the intent on improving my audio on the RX100, but syncing audio for vlogs proved to be very tedious. Having a mic port is awesome now with the 6500. I have the rode micro which I’m using with it which I hope works out okay. I like that the micro version doesn’t require a battery or need an on/off switch. Plus I can still pair it with the H1 Zoom if I want to drown out the background ambient noise.

[@kyletaggart]

I wish the a6000 had a mic port! Haha. Yeah having that rode just turn on and off with the camera is magic! So awesome. As for syncing audio, it’s definitely a pain for vlogs with multiple clips. My videos are one, maybe two, long clips so syncing is easier.

I own an A6000 and an A6300 when i make for the focusing single spot(VIDEO) and for ex. i take the bracket to the right up corner the a6300 focus there and keeps focusing there, but the a6000 only till the time i push down the shutter button half to focus and then by itself it just focus back to a little downer than center position... can you tell me why it can happen? pain in the ass to shoot like this. Anyone with the same problem?

Talk about great cheap Len for the Sony a6000

[@gemlenz]

The kit lens 18-55mm is not that bad and it gives a bit of a wider angle than a prime lens.

[@kyletaggart]

The kit Sony lens is 16-50mm. It’s a great language for the money when you get it with the body.

Can you connect a6000 to mobile phone and control it while filming? Is it possible to see what are you filming on phone's screen?

[@kyletaggart]

The a6000 can’t. However the a6300 and 6500 can with a third party app. You can use the a6000 and a phone for photos but not video.

Hey Kyle, I was wondering if you could test some cheap lenses for portrait photography. Like that fotasy cctv or 7artisans 25 mm.

[@kyletaggart]

I’ve used the Fotasy 35mm f1.7 and like it a lot. Manual isn’t for everyone, but it gives a unique bokeh look. For how cheap it is I recommend checking it out if you’re interested. Use focus peaking and you should be good to go!

[@neilrobinson3479]

Okay. I'll check it out then and I love shooting manual. Thanks man. You're very helpful ☺️

[@kyletaggart]

On case you didn’t know I did a video on that lens a while back. I showed some pics in the video I got with it. ✌🏻

@@kyletaggart I'll go check 😁

Hi! nice vid! I was wondering if the gorillapod can carry my a6000 mounted with 18-105 f4 lens sony?

[@kyletaggart]

That one might be pushing it a little bit. It could handle it, but you might want the bigger size

What memory card do you use?

[@kyletaggart]

I use either 64 gb or 128 gb cards by Sandisk. Here is the 64 gb geni.us/Sandisk64GBCard

Hello guys ,is a6000 work with Speedlite flash ?

[@shadizzo4593]

Hey Kyle, I'm been grinding away on youtube. I been using a webcam and ready to upgrade my camera. I been looking at the a6000 would you suggest me getting this camera for youtube?

[@kyletaggart]

Absolutely, but there are two negatives. 1, no flip pit screen, so you need an external monitor (if you want to see yourself), and 2. It does not have a microphone jack, so for great audio you need an external mic like the Zoom H1. Check out my “KZbin Setup” video! ✌🏻
