creating the perfect vlogging set up | weekly vlog

[@naraaaaaaa]

I was actually shocked by the fact that this channel has almost 14k when I thought it had at least 140k! How are you not a bigger channel?? I love you videos btw, I don't even care what the topic is, they are so aesthetically pleasing

[@withdanilee]

Omg thank you so much! I was actually feeling kind of down that this video didn’t do as well but this comment definitely made me feel like it was so worth it 🥹❤️‍🩹 hope I can continue to make even better videos for you guys !

[@BehindTheNeedle]

Staying up until 2 AM to watch KZbin videos to validate your feelings? Don’t worry, you are not alone! Keep going!

[@withdanilee]

😂 I’m glad I’m not the only one HAHA

[@juliamontone]

I just found your channel and it’s so evident Your talent and skills as a vlogger and videographer don’t match the numbers you have rn. Be patient and keep going. You have something special!!

[@withdanilee]

Ah thank you so much!! I truly appreciate this so much. These kind comments really keep me going ❤️‍🩹🥹

[@KimLechelle]

I thought I was subscribed to your channel, but now I am. Enjoying your videos.

[@grwmarke]

Picking up a new gear and obsessing over it is so relatable! I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel looking forward to getting to know you more!

[@withdanilee]

Thank u so much! Hehe and glad we relate 🥹❤️

[@v3blaxican]

The Sony 11mm 1.8 is a great option, even with it being an APS-C lens. Super light, small, and gives smaller file sizes if you use the APS-C crop, and still gives a 16.5mm equivalent full frame focal length.

[@withdanilee]

Oo thank u for the rec !

[@mistermaandu]

I so appreciate ❤ your technical knowledge. You make it easy to understand. No wonder the quality of your vlogs are very well done. Thanks for taking time in producing it! 😊

[@withdanilee]

Thank you so much 😊

[@AiasDiary]

Love you aestheticsss!!! So surprised that your bag fits so many things, so much more convenient than having a huge backpack

[@withdanilee]

Thank you!! It’s a pretty tight squeeze tho! I didn’t mention this in the video but when I wanna really save space I just use the dji three leg tripod and attach a ball head to the top of it instead of bringing the pgytech one !

[@AiasDiary]

Ohh I see. Honestly I don't why but I can't make myself like the pgytech tripod, we just don't link together for some reason 😅

[@Marina昌]

love the vibe, watching your videos calm me down🤍🤍

[@withdanilee]

Aww thank you so much! This is so sweet. I hope whatever you're feeling / going through gets better!!

[@AlyssaMariee]

This is the first video of yours I've come across and WOW. I'm so excited to watch more of your videos!! You explained everything so well and I have no background with camera equipment. Thank you for the Rode rec, I've never seen a mic attach to a tripod!

[@withdanilee]

Ahh thank you!! Glad to hear it was helpful 🥹❤️⚡️

[@vpofglow]

DANIII you’re making big moves with your channel 💖 so happy to see you growing ✨

[@withdanilee]

AHH TY VIC BUT YOU TOOOOOO

[@laureneezzy]

The Loulex Camera Bag is really cool-pretty and compact! Thank you for sharing! :)

[@withdanilee]

Of course!! They actually came out with a new bag that’s a crossbody and I’ve been eyeing that one hehehe

[@nadrahsatelier]

Your video popped up on my feed. 😊 As someone who also loves looking into gears, I’m happy that you’ve rewarded yourself with a new lens and mic! Brb checking out your other videos too 😄

[@withdanilee]

Aw thank you so much!! Hope you enjoy the other videos as well ❤️ I’m actually behind on posting for this week… but more to come !!

[@alwaysaik]

picking up new vlogging gear always feels like Christmas ✨ great BTS of your vlogging set up, the new lens is 👨🏻‍🍳🤌🏼 new subbie xx

[@withdanilee]

Ah thank you so much!! ❤️🥹

[@alexnicoll95]

Such a great video! Currently have the Sony a6700 with a sigma 18-50mm and a tampon 10-20mm for vlogging! I have the canon guy mark iii too but have been really wanting the osmo pocket three for traveling!

[@withdanilee]

That sounds like a really solid set up!! I haven’t tried sigma or tamron tbh bc I just keep it simple with my Sony (it’s like my Apple of camera gear HAHA) the DJI definitely makes a difference in my set up, so I think it’s worth looking into at least !! 😊

[@clairemickey]

Watching this made me feel like it’s time to move on from my iPhone filming…😅. Love it!

[@withdanilee]

It’s so worth it !! It def will feel sooo different and it’s hard to go back once you do as a little warning HAHA

[@themorgansophia]

I love tech videos!! I also love the font you use, it’s so fun and just fits with the vibe of the whole video. I have way too many cameras and lenses lol 😂 I would love to see a review or how you use your DJI osmo 3, it’s something I’ve been looking into

[@withdanilee]

Ah thank you so much!! I’m not sure if I’d make a whole dedicated video since I don’t like filming with it for an entire video. I mostly like/use it for those quick transitional elements like talking on the go and quick b roll. I just don’t love the quality for the entirety of a video (bc it def can’t compare and replace my Sony a7c and lenses) but if you don’t care too much in that aspect, then I think it’s great!! It’s the camera I recommend to my friends all the time who are pretty new to vlogging or creating videos bc it has a little bit of everything that you’d need to make a really solid video!

[@themorgansophia]

@@withdanilee That’s exactly what’s been holding me back from purchasing it. I film on Canon R or R6, and I just feel like it’s not the same quality. It makes sense for quick on the go things, and in that aspect, I think it would be better than using my phone. Or for those moments when I’m too shy to pull out my whole camera in public lol

[@withdanilee]

@@themorgansophia yes! That’s def when I use it!! I think it’s a good thing to have to supplement ur gear, but not for the entirety of the video. Also bc the zoom quality is so bad I feel like the video can feel a little stale being at the 20mm focal length constantly !!

[@r2d2rxr]

She’s got great style!

[@styledbyshannon]

Ugh I’m so glad I found your channel!! It’s so cozy here 🥰

[@withdanilee]

Ah thank u so much 🥹❤️ so glad u are here enjoying the vibes hehehe

[@Sam_Fu]

I’ve heard great things about that 16-35mm lens. But I think this video confirms that I need it for my arsenal. Haha. Love the video! 😊

[@withdanilee]

Yay! I hope you love if you end up getting it 😊 I just took it with me to New York and it was actually better than I thought when I was making this video :D

[@BriannaSimonexo]

I’m new here and obsessed already! The aesthetics are 🤌🏽

[@withdanilee]

Aw thank you so much!!

[@mariechrismuncal]

love the cinematic edit! :) x

[@withdanilee]

Tysm !! :)

[@emirivlogs]

15:08 it’s very specific but what are you filming with here? It’s feel like an ACTUAL movie

[@withdanilee]

The new lens !!

[@enn7541]

Timing. I am also a small creator, and this resonates me. Love it!

[@enn7541]

I got my dji op3 in market place. Got it in a big discount😂

[@withdanilee]

Yay! So glad to hear 🥹❤️ wishing u the best of luck !!

[@withdanilee]

I am sooo jealous hahaha

[@Fredo.heavyy]

Was in the same boat as you, trying to find perfect balance of quality and portability. Ended up with the Sony ZVE10 II, Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 and the DJI Mic 2 w/ Sony hot shoe receiver. I sold my A7C to get all that gear and I do miss its “quality” a bit but the size and portability pushes me to make more content.

[@withdanilee]

Sounds like a really solid set up! I’ve heard good things about the new zve10 ii!

[@alwinlee5864]

If you only had one camera, do you prefer the pocket 3 or your a7c? I don't vlog but i love the conveniences of the pocket 3. Especially when I travel I would prefer the size of the pocket 3.

[@withdanilee]

great question! So I don't think I am the best example for this because I truly love high quality footage (and I need to for my work), so (even if it's not convenient) I will always pick my a7c!! BUT if you're someone that just wants to take really solid footage when traveling (that isn't your iphone camera), then I would definitely recommend the dji pocket 3! I actually got many of my friends to purchase the DJI pocket 3 and they love it! They aren't in social media and just like to film here and there for their own personal use with friends and family. The dji truly does a little bit of everything and it saves you a lot of space on your phone, so I hope that helps to answer your question!

[@energeotransformer]

I love your color grading, so aesthetic! is it okay to ask what editor you’re using?

[@withdanilee]

Thank you so much! And of course !! I currently use fcpx but I do really want to switch over to davinci resolve!!

[@JustCallMeOlu]

Bought that camera bag because of you! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

[@withdanilee]

Omg I hope it works well for you !!

[@othernightpro7082]

Full frame is always the best way to go. Always get the best I did the whole “starting on the smaller camera” thing it’s a waste. Trust yourself and get the best equipment for what you need to do. That goes along with your laptop or PC as well.

[@withdanilee]

Definitely agree! I also feel like the smaller cameras don’t have great batteries and I end up carrying 3+ instead of just 1-2 for a full day of shooting, which is why I got rid of my Sony zv1

[@othernightpro7082]

@@withdanilee I bought my A7III for that reason the batteries on the older cameras are not great. On the A7III they revised the battery and overheating. I have a battery charger kit from Rav Power but the A7III batteries are expensive though lol or were. Honestly the A7III was worth the price tag it’s been my most reliable camera so far.

[@withdanilee]

@@othernightpro7082 Oo thanks for the recommendation! I def will keep it in mind if I ever change up my camera body ⚡️

[@misscandyapple4328]

Love the more tech videos!! I personally get very giddy when I order a new camera or lens❤️

[@withdanilee]

It literally is sooo much fun to get new gear hahaha glad we relate ❤️☺️🥹

[@Avyion]

On the Osmo in the microphone settings make sure you have lowcut off that may be the reason why you are getting bad audio. DJI has it on by default!

[@withdanilee]

Ah thank you! I’ll definitely have to give that a go bc I was like am I being crazy ?? HAHA

[@ErliGalano]

OMG! DITTO!!!! ALWAYS ALWAYS

[@withdanilee]

🥹❤️❤️⚡️

[@TheMindfulBee_]

LOVED this video!!! What is your lighting setup for your nighttime room shots if you don’t mind my asking, it looks great!

[@withdanilee]

Honestly it’s just my room light and the cow lamp 😂 bc I have the f/1.8 lenses, it can handle the low light without look grainy

[@TheMindfulBee_]

@@withdanilee oooooh love it, thank you! ❤️

[@ActivateLA]

I am weak for gear all the time, DJI is coming out with a new camera soon. I am looking forward to it.

[@withdanilee]

Omg I almost wish I didn’t know bc that is going to be a problem for me HAHAHA

[@lilyyau8749]

Hi Dani! Are you using a larger standing tripod in addition to your smaller one? I also wanted to ask if you mostly vlog with your Sony A7C handheld, and how the stabilization is?

[@withdanilee]

Yes! So this video was more so encompassing my on the go / travel vlogging set up and not my full gear line up! And yes I try to mostly vlog with my a7c when possible! The only thing I’d say stabilization wise is if you’re moving like walking around a city for example, it’s gonna be really hard to stabilize without it cropping a bunch. If I’m doing any walking or heavy moving shots, that’s when I switch to my dji! But if you’re standing still and holding the camera steady or doing a pan in one spot, then the stabilization is amazing! You’ll have to use the catalyst browse/prepare software tho to get the best stabilization from the camera (versus using fcpx’s stabilization option) it’s a VERY tedious extra step though just as a little warning ! I hope this helps but lmk if you have any other questions !! Also I’m gonna be posting my New York vlog this Saturday! And that will be 95% me using my Sony a7c and this new lens if you wanted a more direct visual reference 😊

[@lilyyau8749]

@@withdanilee thank you

[@Avreyanderson]

Dji mic comes with the low cut filter on, probably why the audio seems bad when it isn’t.

[@withdanilee]

I think I have tried to remove it but I didn’t see any noticeable difference, but I def will try it again!

[@SarahYoonLee]

[@juliamontone]

what do you edit your vlogs on? I love the font you use. Any tips for beginners?

[@withdanilee]

I use Final Cut Pro! Although I do have long term plans to move to davinci resolve. I also get all my fonts from creative market !! Tips wise, I’d say film what u feel comfortable with ! There’s no way you can be perfect from the start and you only improve after you do it time and time again! :)

[@sethjuni]

Great video!! What’s the name of the font you use?

[@withdanilee]

kooky cloud!

[@lavenderasia542]

Would you recommend the sony Zv1f or the dji Osmo Pocket 3 For vlogging

[@withdanilee]

Dji! I had the zv1 and I think it’s more worth getting an actual full frame camera over that. The dji does everything you need it to without taking up too much space (audio, stabilizing footage, shooting in log, decent low light capabilities, face tracking, tripod, wide angle) and two batteries should last you a whole day of shooting! Versus the zv1 might give you shakey footage, have to get a separate mic, tripod, & you have to carry a lot of spare batteries bc each one lasts maybe 1.5 hours) I hope this helps and obviously this is just my opinion and experience !

[@lavenderasia542]

@@withdanilee Thank you so much😊

[@ItsRupertM]

Hey Dani quick question. Did you shoot this video in SLOG? If so are you also using an ND Filter? Just asking because I have an 11mm wide angle lens for my zve10 and wanted to get the best quality out of it.

[@withdanilee]

I didn’t shoot in slog or use an ND Filter!! Def something I need to figure out tho. Tbh I mainly shoot manual, 1/50, auto ISO (but set a max and minimum iso value), and then adjust my f stop manually ! I find that to be the quickest especially when I’m out and about vlogging. I hope this helps but lmk if u have any other questions ahaha I’m still pretty new at figuring out what the best method is

[@ItsRupertM]

@@withdanilee haha you could've fooled me! Solid work honestly. I appreciate the advice! You got my sub.
