But is the Pocket Dispo lens right for you? In this video Nick shows examples, shares his pros & cons and answers the question, "Is the Pocket Dispo lens worth it for wedding videographers?"

[@PocketDispo]

We are so grateful that you chose to review our lens! We absolutely love the footage you featured!

[@HowToFilmWed]

It's such a cool little lens - thanks influencing me!

[@WaywardNorth]

Haha that ad got you too? Mine is a glorified camera cap but hey its a REALLY cool concept lol

[@HowToFilmWed]

it is really cool! Glad I picked it up, but it's not going to get used a TON

[@jasona59]

It got me too 😂 but for $50 why not?

[@JLGortman]

Ive seen the ad 20 times. Officially just ordered.

[@HowToFilmWed]

let us know what you think!

[@TheHoldenProductions]

I just ordered one. I’m also going to try a macro extender on it to see how things change

[@HowToFilmWed]

That sounds really cool. Let us know how it turns out!

[@josuechiriboga2368]

What is the program edition?

[@southernwahine]

I was influenced and I purchased one, lol. However, I'm definitely just a hobbyist that happens to love using cheap lenses to see how much I can get out of them. Back in the day I found mount to fix a dianaF+ lens to an older sony alpha camera and I really loved the results. This is going to bring me back to that so I'm excited about it! Nice to see this review! Thank you!

[@HowToFilmWed]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@VitalLightFilms]

Yes this is awesome, was looking forward to seeing this. I was not disappointed :). I think I might try to make my own!

[@HowToFilmWed]

ooo, that could be cool!

[@JJohnson313]

Got mine last week. Definitely different than I what I was expecting.

[@HowToFilmWed]

Different good or different bad?

[@Praphut]

If I put this on the Sony apsc sensor (a6700) does the focal length change at all from the 28mm that it’s supposed to be?

[@HowToFilmWed]

The a6700 has a 1.5 crop to it. So this lens would be a 42mm equivalent on your camera.

[@miraclemomentsweddings]

Nick I like ur glasses

[@HowToFilmWed]

why, thank you

[@louphubin7667]

My xt3 is not firing with it installed … just got one What should I do ?

[@HowToFilmWed]

I'm not sure - what isn't it doing? Maybe reach out to Pocket Dispo if it's still not working.

[@louphubin7667]

@@HowToFilmWed the lens clip on good, it’s fully working, The image on my screen is nice. The vignette is there. The camera is fully working except it’s not firing, not taking the picture. There’s a sensor on the ring I’m scared it’s not « linking/connecting » with the body. Because when I swap it with my regular lens it’s working fine.

[@torresphotoco]

@@louphubin7667 you need to change the "release w/o shutter" option on your camera to enable otherwise it wont work. cause its seeing it as a cap and not a lens.

[@louphubin7667]

@@torresphotoco absolutely right! thank you so much It’s working now.

[@RedeemedProductions]

Influencer being influenced.. Inception

[@HowToFilmWed]

I love it when I get incepted

[@user-eh8jv2em2o]

Aputure? Is that a hidden ad?

[@lit_wick]

About f11

[@user-eh8jv2em2o]

@@lit_wick no I mean you've used word aputure (a company that does lights) instead of aperture (an opening in a lens)

[@HowToFilmWed]

Typo 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@DestynHumann]

No PL mount?! 😩 Jk

[@HowToFilmWed]

On their website they said they can only make lenses for mirrorless systems.

[@DestynHumann]

@@HowToFilmWed I don’t have a PL mount - I just thought it’d be kind of funny with that lens since PL mount sticks out. The mount would be bigger than the lens probably! Haha. Loved the video, Nick!
