I’ve gotten so many little bits and bobs for my ZVE-10. It has really helped get me back into photography.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

That Umbrella is something i definitely need, i have an A7IV and it overheated on me just one time since launch day but it was in direct sunlight recording in 4K 60fps on the high temp setting. I kept telling my self, man i wish i could have some shade for this Rig and here you are showing an Umbrella for the camera. 😅👍 there is so much i still dont know sigh..... but glad knowledgeable people like you are kind enough to give us newbies gear tips. Greatly appreciated 🙇‍♂️🙏

[@amparodavila1009]

So the Crane M2s can hold a 16-50 inch lens with the camera

[@sibertiger17]

As everyone else is saying, i bought this camera based in reviews, and yours being the main one because you keep releasing more content for it whereas everyone else has moved on with their over stuffed bank accounts or neverending freebies that they can keep making new gear reviews....so its appreciated you stick with this camera for the rest of us nornal, can only afford one camera folks!

[@Privacy_upgrade]

I was planning on getting this camera and this video comes so timely for me. Thanks for the awesome content and guides.

[@justindake]

I'm going to pick up an umbrella! I shot 4K through an entire battery this weekend in direct sunlight in 90F heat. That's the first time I've ever seen the temperature warning symbol come up on the screen, and the body itself was getting pretty hot to the touch. Umbrella to the rescue!

[@flkristian]

Nice umbrella 😂

[@AaronPendergastphoto]

I can't find the original video where you talked about it, but I just wanted to come back and thank you, again, for making us all a little better. I was in a situation today where I was interviewing a government official, and the wind was whipping through downtown like crazy. My rode micro wasn't going to keep up, but I'd just gotten the comica c3 lav mics for father's day, based on your recommendation. Problem solved. Just wanted to come back once again and thank you for your videos.

[@FR8MES]

Dope video, if streaming often, check out the ac power dummy adapter as it helps. Thx for sharing and educating

[@przymrozek]

Hi Mark! If I could ask here for a little advice in choosing an ND filter for my zv-e10.. I have just started my lens collection and I have Viltrox 23mm f1.4 (which I really like!) - it has 52mm filter thread. I occasionally shoot photos and videos, especially during holidays - so I definitely should have a variable ND filter, following your great recommendation 😄 However, I struggle choosing the variability range! Should I go for 2-400 range, or 8-2000? Or something else entirely..? In short - which variable ND filter would you recommend as the most versatile for all-round enthusiast use? (Sorry for this lengthy question!)

[@rhyansanpedro]

Love the Ulanzi Quick Release system all my gear have the quick release plates installed on them. Awesome video as always!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It's the best!!

[@frankluo230]

That umbrella got me laugh. You a re genius

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I like to think so 🤣

[@PaulGodkin]

I used to shoot news and do some client work with a camcorder. I'm pretty solid with the theory of mirrorless cameras and I'm looking for my first mirrorless camera for business explainers, FAQ videos, how to videos, and "about me" videos. Do you think the ZV E10 would be a good first camera for that or should I go higher end? I thought I could start collecting lenses and accessories and then move to something like an FX30. I'm also looking at a Fuji X-S20.

[@swisstriplet1807]

Awesome video! Could you review the monitor plus app with wired connection with the zve10 as a budget option for a monitor???

[@ThriftyWhiskey]

I just got the Comica Boom qua as I am usually shooting with 3 people. Looking forward to using it and am glad to hear you recommend Comica devices. Guess I will have to bite the bullet on the batteries. Oof. Surprised no recommended dummy battery though for livestreaming.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes - I generally don’t deal in dummy batteries but I should get at least one 🤣

[@MelissaB0999]

[@BuzStringer]

By Chance do you have the ECM-M1? Trying to find out if it enables 4 channel audio for the ZV-E10 mark 1, the menu only appears if you connect it and there's misleading information on Sonys website :(

[@daboyzcinematic523]

the umbrella is hilarious lol, i almost want to get it just so i get weird looks.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I had to buy it when I saw it

[@FastRedPonyCar]

OK I have a question. I'm the official "Filming dad" for our daughter's soccer team and basically just stand at the center sidelines and video the games. They'll go for about an hour and a half and I've been using a gopro but the ability to see at the ends of the field leaves a lot to be desired so I'm wanting to use my ZVe10 I just got to film the games. From what I've seen testing, the battery will not last the whole game and I do have an Anker power bank with PD power but I'm trying to think of a semi-elegant way of mounting that thing to either the camera (assuming I use the small rig cage) or somehow to the tripod. Any ideas? I just had it laying on the ground with a long USB c cable going up to the gopro last season but if it's wet or muddy, I'd have to just cram it half way into my pocket or something and do that.

[@Tricker17]

Do you think any third party charger is safe? I found one that's very cheap, brand DWOK, but i don't know if it could damage the battery

[@MattyProds]

I wonder if zv-e10 slow-mo on pc looks better than on youtube. I wanna use it for car edits. For now i rolled them with gopro (2.7k 120fps) and i'm not sure if gopro slow-mo wasn't even smoother than zv-e10 compared to some clips on youtube. The only thing gopro is lacking is the bokeh and you can't get clear image when you are close to objects e.g. car logo. That's the main reason i consider buying sony camera. And also can you tell me how zv-e10 focus works with shooting cars?

[@DocumentingTheApocalypse]

Hey Mark, I am another one of those folks that bought the ZV-E10, based on your videos. Yup, still watching. I did end up picking up one of those K&F ND2-N32 variable ND to use with my 16mm f/1.4 Sigma. Jeez b'y, you might have mind control over my purchases. Rich yet? In any case, I find with the variable ND, stopped right down, there might be a minor cast to slightly warmer colours. What do you think? Get off the AWB? Or am I actually seeing what I think?

[@JasonDevadason]

Can the Zhiyun M3S also control the zoom function if my ZV-E10 is paired with 18-105mm F4?

[@FrancisAlbert1990]

Can you test if the crane m2s or the m3s with the zvE1 with different lenses? please, thanks.

[@sgsg3391]

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes Brandon Li does it all the time. Me too. Sometimes my gimbal footage needs some extra stability especially with the smaller gimbals

[@icu4784]

Hi Mark, Thank you for this amazing video! One Question: which one do i get if my budget is around 200 EUR, portkeys pt6 or pt5 ii? in other words is pt6 is a good step up from pt5ii, and is like buy once and not twice?

[@Crackoneopen]

Great video as always, I see you weren't thirsty today though ;) I've purchased quite a few of these accessories, the final one I am looking for is a neck strap.. One that you can just clip onto Dougie in a matter of seconds and not waste time threading it through the camera. Do you have a recommendation?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - actually I have a video coming. There are two good ones - from PGYTECH and Ulanzi.

[@yartriesthis]

Is the A6700 superior camera to the EV-10 mark2?

[@WashingtonAaron]

Is the smallrig cage compatible with the backpack clip?

[@lisasato8064]

Hi wondering if I was buying this camera for taking photo/video of my family, should I opt for just the body and then buy the Sony 11mm f1.8 lens? Or is it worth having the kit lens on top? Would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the 11 is really wide - so I would suggest you get the kit lens - you'll probably upgrade from it eventually but you can figure out what focal length you like. Or - if you don't need really wide shots - you can skip both the 11 and the kit lens get the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 and that will give you great results

[@funnybeingme]

With the ZV-E10 currently out of stock everywhere, perhaps there's a mark ii releasing soon?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Edit: it’s been in stock lately, probably just need a refresh of stock. I don’t think we’ll see an update for a least a year

the sony 11 f1.8 👍

[@kkl7207]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you very much for your reply!!! When I said taking pics like of myself or family not just the buildings. Do u think this would do the job for having myself on the pic sharp? Or should I go for sigma 16? Thanks again!!!!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The sigma 16 might work but it will be a little tight on your face. You can also try the viltox 13. It's a big lens - but wide enough for what you want.

[@Ahmadsaadaldeen.official]

i trust you man

[@kuya_timmy]

Is that the kit lens that you have on the camera you’re holding? Looks different from mine

[@Anamariapinedacom]

Hi :) what gimbal and what tripod would you recommend for the ZV E-10 with the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN lens ?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Hello!! the DJI RS3 mini amzn.to/3RT76q5

[@lucasrosen8362]

Great comprehensive list. I know you did not curate this from an interview perspective, but max heights of Ulanzi tripods at 160cm are just too low in my book. Do not know your height but might not even be useable in your own studio. If travel is only landscape of course no issue. Just my 2cents.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Being a travel tripod it doesn’t extend too high, but I’ve personally never had the need to ever extend it over 5 feet whether that’s in photo or video. It is my main studio tripod. I usually leave it at about 3 feet as I am sitting in the studio.

[@Ruckus45]

1:16 third time I've seen this product for accessories for this camera. Absolute need, paid placement, or both?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Not paid, just a good cage. If you want to rig out your camera, you’ll need a cage and this one is my fav, but you don’t need it unless you plan to mount a lot of accessories or make it a cinema type rig. Also, I should note, it’s illegal to be paid for product placement and not disclose it. Anyone who does that runs the risk of losing their channel

[@Ruckus45]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis dude, amazing response time and thanks for the clarification. Thanks so much

[@BruceALevine]

Did you stop using the Sigma F1.4 16mm in favor of the 11mm Sony for vlogging?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes - because I wanted wider. Still use it in the studio

[@ManuelParodiRamos]

Hi Mark, what do you think about pairing dougie to Ninja v? A bit overkill? Do you know if you can use a tentacle track e direct in the ninja v so you still can use the mic input in the zv-e10?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I use the Ninja V all the time with Dougie. But the Track E is a standalone recorder so you don't plug it into the mic jack. If you were plugging a lab in - you can use the Ninja yes.

[@ManuelParodiRamos]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis My bad. I meant the sync e!

[@caitiegreene5391]

How would use use the smallrig with he tripod? 'm having trouble finding an adapter or long enough screw

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The bottom of the cage is actually arca-swiss compatible. So any tripod that takes arca-swiss will be fine. But if you are trying to use it with a quick release plate, there are screw holes at the bottom of the cage can fit the 1/20 of a quick release plate

[@studioshafer]

Comica Boom mics are great

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

they really are

[@binarahandra]

Hi Mark, I also want to buy a cage for my camera. How do you think the cage from Ulanzi compares to SmallRig?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

ulanzi doesn’t have a specific cage for the zv-e10. I like that the smallrig is custom fit to the zv-e10 and has an amazing silicon grip

[@binarahandra]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I think in Indonesia they does, it called Ulanzi C-ZVE10 if I'm not mistaken. But thanks for the insight about SmallRig :)

Re: K&F VND - which ones have hard stops?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The one I linked has a hard stop - in other words, you won't get the dreaded cross pattern. It doesn't have individual hard stops - it has one at the end so you don't go too far.

Grey Card ✅ K&F ND Filter ✅✅ Rookie questions: Does the Auto White Balance work well with the ND Filters? Also, when you use manual settings, should those all be set after the ND filter is on?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes and yes. the AWB will work fine with filter attached. you would set all of your settings after applying the nd filter.

[@Mandelrot]

I've found this and I think this idea would be interesting too as "accesories", both the app and the phone mount kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqSTYmxmfMirgLc - The first try with my ZV-E10 works very well, I'll use it for a couple of weeks before jumping to the app pro version.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - it's great. There is a bit of lag that some people are complaining about. DO you find any lag?

[@Mandelrot]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yes, maybe half a second or so; but the free version only allows wireless connections, so I don't know how it will be using a cable with the paid app. Anyway for some purposes it could be good even with lag: I have some manual focus lenses and sometimes with the little screen it's hard to nail it, the app pro version allows focus picking so I think it would be great for photography and also for bright environments where the native screen is not enough. The shoe adapter/phone holder seems to be super convenient too, I've already ordered to use it even if I decide to not buy the app pro version. Just to give you an example, a couple of weeks ago I (alone) recorded this with a TTArtisan manual lens and focusing was a real pain in the ass. Having a remote app with focus picking would have saved me a lot of time kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJCrYWSubbaHrZI - By the way, if you don't know the Adobe AI sound enhancer watch the full video and you'll be surprised with it.
