Thank you and happy new year to you as well 😊

[@rogeriusrex93]

Wasn’t expecting the Sigma at the end, I’ve been determined to buy this lens for a while now and pair it with either a zv-e1 or an fx6. Apart from the focus performance that probably is great but not native Sony glass level I think it’s a no brained for field sports like the ones u mentioned. Got a smile on my face when I saw it pop up, looking forward for your review of it!!

Happy New Year, E! Hope you're doing well mate ❤

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thank you, happy new year to you too 🎉

Great video! How come you don’t recommend the a6700 or the tamron 35-150? Just curious keep crushing it

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

They didn't make the video but I do recommend them and they are both in the full list of recommendations (in in description).

[@thomasboutet4643]

Hi, is the canon r7 with the 18-150mm lense is still a good buy in 2025 for sport videography?

[@snxpez.visuals]

Honestly don’t buy a variable aperture lens for sports. Get like a 70-200 f4

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

It's a great place to start and that lens has a good zoom range. But eventually you'll probably want to upgrade to a higher quality glass.

[@saucegotti9402]

What about Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A compared to the Tamron 17-70mm I’m debating on which one is a better lens? To go with my Zv-E10 ii

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

If you want a sharper lens with a lower and constant aperture, go with the 17-70mm. But if a much greater zoom range is more important to you, a zoom range that can cover both indoor and outdoor sports, go with the 18-300mm.

[@ZonaEnduro]

What about a6700? We take the camera outdoors only in nasty conditions… so weather sealed is a must. Thx! 🙏

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

It is in my full list of recommendations. Just not in the video.

[@marlonhoward338]

Hey E?! What’s your thoughts on the Tamron 50-400 full frame lens? It’s about $800 cheaper. 10:14

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Looks like a great option for outdoor sports but I've never used it personally so I can't say much about it.

[@marlonhoward338]

@ Thanks for responding E! I’m going back and forth trying to make a decision between the 50-400 or the 60-600. One thing that concerns me about the 60-600 is the Counter Clockwise zoom ring that sigma lenses are know for. Also, the weight factor. But that extra reach is very enticing. But, is it truly needed?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@marlonhoward338 Needed, absolutely not. I personally never filmed with more than a 200mm zoom. But it's probably very fun to have that option.

[@SDizzzle]

Great info! What about handles for camera rigs? What recommendations do you have?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I only know the one I use on my camera rig which is this one: kit.co/Beyond_the_Game/my-professional-sports-filming-kit/smallrig-universal-a

[@SDizzzle]

@ thank you!

[@GuuluuGuuluu]

Hi I've been looking around youtube for inspirations for filming and editing sports footage and you are probably the best person on this platform teaching it so well. I play basketball and badminton however majority of the time I film my badminton sessions instead of basketball and I've been trying to improve my edits for it. Can I get some advice on this because the footage is basically just being shot from a tripod at the corner of the court

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@GuuluuGuuluu my advice is to move that tripod around the court as much as possible to get a bunch of different camera angles. That will make your videos way more dynamic.

[@Gabriel.cotovanu]

What do you think about the Sony PXW-Z190V camera? Is it good for sports videographers? ... And why can't I livestream on KZbin with this camera?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I don't know much about camcorders but this one seems alright on face value. I've never used it personally though. You can probably livestream with it through a computer with OBS free software.

[@Gabriel.cotovanu]

@@BeyondTheGame_E Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏

[@jeremieclimaco9946]

Hope to see you this year in a sporting stadium in montreal mate

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I have no doubt we'll see each other at a game soon enough!

[@fideljustwatchtv]

Can you please make a video explains, with all these camera setup, doing a live streaming on KZbin with the sony Fx30.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I don’t livestream sports sorry. But for a minimal setup, all you need to do is connect the fx30 to a computer with a USB-C cable and you’re good to go.

[@brianadams9610]

Trying to get into indoor basketball videography, was thinking of the FX30 or ZV-EV10 ii. If I get the EZ-EV10 II would I outgrow it quickly, and should I just go for the FX30? Also, I have several nice Canon EF lenses 70-200mm f2.8 is it foolish to try an leverage these lens with an adapter?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

The only major gain you would get going from the ZV-E10 II to the FX30 is an internal fan and access to XLR microphones. The image quality itself would be exactly the same. But to leverage your Canon lenses, I would recommend getting a Canon camera even if you need a Canon EF/RF adapter, the autofocus will work much better than if you use a Canon to Sony adapter.

[@brianadams9610]

@@BeyondTheGame_E Thank you for your time and guidance!

[@SteelCityCreative]

so I mainly use a Sony 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 for my ZVe-10. Do u think I'm better off using that or getting a lens like one of the ones mentioned?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

The lenses mentioned in the video are all better quality but it depends on the zoom range you are after.

[@MediaByMatias]

I would love your impressions on the 28-70, don’t you feel like not having 24 is a big disadvantage and also it not having stabilization ?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

The only zoom lenses I use for sports are 35-150 and 70-200. So 28 is actually an improvement for me on the wider side. But to be honest, the difference between 24 and 28mm is negligible at best in my opinion. Also, of all my lenses, the 70-200mm is the only one with stabilization and as much as I appreciate using it, I don’t miss it on my other lenses.

[@MediaByMatias]

@ Thank you for this information it was very helpful! The 28-70 sounds like a dream lens!

[@BroguBro]

Hey E With a bunch lensmakers releasing interchangeable lens like Tamron,and sigma.. would you still recommend the fx-30

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I'm not sure I understand the question. Sigma and Tamron were already making lenses way before the FX30 first came out. But yeah, I do believe the FX30 is a great camera.

[@kylestreet4059]

Question…. I have glass I got when I got canon starter camera on eBay … I was wondering if there are adapters that I can get to use this glass on any of the Sony cameras on your 2025 list?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yes you can buy adapters to fit Canon lenses on Sony cameras.

[@kylestreet4059]

@ cool thanks …. Well I’ll start looking so I decide on one of your suggestions cuz low light is gonna be big deal. Appreciate your info and all your vids

[@WelderB1Family]

Happy New Year!!! Been waiting for a new drop!...Also can you do a " ZVE10 in 2025 worth it? Video 🙏🏿💯🔥📸

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thank you! I’ll try to do something like that 👍🏽

[@habibulhaque4901]

Any thoughts about Panasonic Lumix S5 IIX ?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Sorry, I've never used it and don't know much about it. But on face value it looks decent.

[@halamubashar7206]

What Camera should I buy if I only want to take pictures. I love Martial arts and often film and try to take good pictures. But combat sports like kick boxing and taekwondo make it very hard to take good pictures. I am fine with taking videos with my IPhone. Would be very helpful if you could recommend me cameras that take fast pictures

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

What do you mean by fast pictures?

[@halamubashar7206]

@@BeyondTheGame_EHow many Frames per second do you recommend?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@halamubashar7206 ahh I see. Well I'm not a photographer so I don't really have an answer for you. Obviously the higher the frame rate is the better but I don't know what the minimum should be.
