[@davidsclothing3756]

Hey there. I just bought the 35mm lens and 2 accessories using your links. Thanks so much for all the info and for all the work you do.

[@ArthurR]

Thank you so much for the support! Very appreciated.

[@papagibs7387]

I'm SO GLAD I've found your channel you have inspired me and help me more than you know. Its also good to know You're a fellow Texas native! Keep up the good work :)

[@douggoff5784]

To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. kzbin.infoUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

[@LindonSlaght]

bro what, why are you posting this here lol

[@BrandonMason]

I just purchased the tripod today based on your review! Cant wait to use it with my a6000

[@duhbiduh]

I just got A6000 few days ago and wanted to extend my knowledge to photography. This video helped me a lot! Thank you!

[@klikron4483]

Hey do you recommend it?

[@GallaghersGrub]

I love my Peak Design wrist strap. Great list. Thank you.

[@mosesknows2062]

Thanks guys, I've had my a6000 for almost two years now and mostly shoot video... I enjoy this camera very much, a great camera at it's price point, love the auto focus on this camera... also I'm a fan of the aps-c/super 35 sensor, good quality and the 1.5 crop factor gives the zoom reach I like... Oh yea, Jess is so pretty... Thx, Moses...

[@hayitsmelii]

This video was super helpful ! Thank you so so much! I will for sure buy a couple of these things very soon !! I’m doing photography so I’m super excited !

[@RichardPinesActor]

You are absolutely fantastic my friend. Thank You!!!!!

[@jeremyjoya958]

Great accessories! I was happy with my tripod, but I see the benefits of have the controls off the camera. The flash will probably be the first thing I purchase. I have the same gimbal and must say I love the great shots that be taken with it.

[@allannunezhn]

I like the Meike Flash, another highlight it's that you keep pressed the power button and a continuous led light turns on! 👏

[@AndreiC08]

Great! Thank you for sharing all this useful information :)

[@richardpcrowe]

Good job as always... I like a monopod and have downsized the pod that I use for my heavier Canon DSLR gear. The pod I chose is (believe it or not!) the Amazon Basics Graphite Monopod... At under $50 and under one pound in weight, it is a great combination; ESPECIALLY with a L bracket on my camera. My generic Arca Compatible L bracket costs under fifteen dollars, fits very well and works great shifting from vertical to horizontal (works great on a tripod also).

[@vancecuenca2805]

For the Meike external flash, if you put in rechargeable batteries, you can charge them in body through the micro-usb port. Amazing!

[@marcinpiotrow1333]

Nice, tripod with video control - that's the best accessory in this list for me. THX for this video

[@kmiloz]

I would say that something that may complement you list is a remote shutter. Depending on the type of photography they can be very convenient. From your list, I think that there are probably better tripods out in the market more photo oriented, maybe the last line of Vanguard is a good choice.

[@joshuac3058]

You helped me so much with my a6000 thanks man love the vids

[@ModernTechReviewsTV]

Awesome list, TechMaf! I'm still debating between that Sony tripod you mentioned and the Magnus VT-4000. I may end up getting both. I've just got some reaaallllly old flimsy tripods that I use for now, which were hand-me-downs from my dad from years ago. I know I desperately need something new, though. Glad I watched this video today, because now I'm going to go re-watch your full review of this Sony tripod to see if I just want to grab this one now, and maybe the other one later as a secondary tripod.

[@solution0170]

Very nice list. I have to get those extension tubes they look pretty neat from the review you did on them! I personally use the Godox TT350s which I love for flash, all comes down to preference I think

[@zaidmuscle80]

Good list and like always... a very nice presentation 👍🏻

[@caseyhendrix8665]

As always, great and helpful content! I would love to get a Gimble and venture into video.

[@otjutt]

Thanks Arthur for all these videos. You are an amazing man.

[@tomduncan3547]

Love the ideas. Love my a6000. Get a cpl for the kit lens. Helps so much.

[@hifistuded]

Tripod is really good, thanks for the list

[@Sophunny]

Awesome Channel! Very informative and straightforward which I like!

[@supunchathuranga5596]

Your videos are really helpful. Thanks you!

[@ajsgaming14]

So glad I came across this video! Really helped me out in what to get for my Sony a6000. Great video, all the best 😊

[@JackShirley]

I have most of these (thanks to your recommendations before) Next up should be the tripod, though still debating if I'd be better suited with a monopod. Great video as always!

[@crsantin]

Great video! Just picked up a very light used A6000 with the kit lens for $450. Very very pleased with the image quality so far. Great camera. I will be getting into video with it soon. Your tripod looks like a must have so I think I'll start there.

[@goodsound4756]

Thanks for those tips. What focal length extender (or x2 teleconverter) would you recommend?

[@MissArtisticSasnuhy]

quite helpful, thanks a lot. But I didnt really understand much abt the gimbal

[@thewelshdragonwagon]

really nice video 🤙🏼

[@trinianddiana]

Another great informative video. What do you think of the peak design straps, especially the new leash?

[@Aemilindore]

Thank you he heaps for introducing me to extension tubes. Your style of doing videos is very professional. I just subscribed with the bell icon. I'm a total beginner to alpha series or evne to photography. Your tips are amaizing.

[@OlintoeRafaelaCicloturismo]

Dear ThechnoMafia, Thanks for your show, it is very helpfull and informative, you are already doing a great job. Nevertheless I am still waiting for a reviw on18-200mm lens from sony and Tamron. Hope you are able to do it some day. Thanks from Brazil....

[@cypherdk85]

I bought a 22.000 mah powerbank on Amazon, and will get a 2nd soon. It has 3 USB ports and has a pretty good output. I always have that in my bag and at least one of my dual chargers, so I can charge batteries on the go, since I have both the a6000 and a7 when I go out, and a total of 7 batteries.

[@user-xq2ws5uq2y]

Hi! Greetings from China!! I really love your videos because they helped me saving a lot of money! Before I saw your videos, I have already purchased an a6500 and a SEL16-70 ZA. Now I updated my a6500 to an a7 iii and bought an old NEX 5R for daily and travel uses. The ZA lens is a bit heavy and not enough for telephoto. Noticing the ZA lenses have some problems with its quality control and my ZA lens performs really good, I wonder weather I should sell it for a SEL 18-135 lens or buy a SEL 16-50 lense and a VPR1 tripod...

[@jflores7585]

Cool accessories... I got the battery pack one week after I got my camera... and for the flashes... I'm thinking on getting the Godox AD200, have you done any review or test shots with this light? I would love to hear from you about it....

[@moskvichshowarchive]

Супер. Штатив особенно понравился.

[@flyhi2773]

I'm here getting a nearly new zhiyun crane 2 with the focus servo and a monopod, to use initially with a Nikon D7500 but I have seen a second hand Sony that I might get for it, why I'm here, looking into it.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I carry two batteries around with me but because of problems with resetting the gimbal each time which I am not very good at, whilst doing a lot of filming I recharge the battery from a power bank. I find by the time it has cooled down, it has got a bit more charge in it.

[@fishersofmen0419]

Very well made

[@robberkhuizen108]

Good tips

[@TravelMinds]

Great video! thnx

[@janzelhill7234]

Do you have an updated list for 2019?

[@johnearmanii5888]

Awesome man congrats on to bigger things best of luck and I subscribed to your channel

[@tallguysports]

Everybody talks about the compactness of the A6000, which is very correct. The negative is that I am 6’5” and have big hands, can palm a basketball with my left or right hand. I really can’t hold the A6000 without my fingers changing the buttons or getting in the way. So I went with a quick mount for mounting on a rail. The handle was round PVC, some nuts and bolts for mounting. Then wrapped the PVC with nick cork handlebar tape. I went with a bigger diameter for my big hands. Gives me a very solid grip. I have even integrated remote triggers into the PVC.

[@afrosamtv]

I'm happy for your video, I'm from Africa and wishes to get all those accessories for my Sony a6000.

[@ffmnokia]

You nailed again buddy

[@soloswim]

nice accessories for a6000....

[@jlamb13]

Is this the first time you've recommended the 18-105 walkaround or have I just missed it? Just got myself a 6300 and bought the 35mm as my first prime based on your recommendation. Thanks so much for your amazing reviews!

[@DavePruett]

Good list, good advice. Does the Meike mk320 support HSS?

[@richyoung89]

amazing content !!!!!

[@anshulduggal1777]

I think on camera field monitor is also a very useful accessory.

[@ColinBloodworth]

Great choices! I think your original review on that tripod may have been how I found your channel originally. 😀

[@incorporeal3793]

I need to get an A6000 first. But the tripod and the gimbal would be nice to have. I bought a cheap Nex 3 to have a go at astrophotography and the one accessory I like is the dummy battery I got for it on Amazon for £16.

[@DanPandrea]

I've never noticed those refresh rate stipes. Did you change your video record settings? Perhaps the lights?

[@maainim2]

Very nice Video, thanks

[@fishersofmen0419]

Well made

[@Viajedelavida]

Any chance of you reviewing the Sony Zeiss FE 16-35mm f4?

[@lenbata]

Any other recommendation less cost than Gimbal?

[@zekirami]

Great vedio

[@GilbertTV]

good list... I have most of them apart from the gimble & remote tripod..

[@Ramonphotography]

Can you do a review on the Sony A7ii

[@MrG0olden]

A SanDisk extreme pro for the a6000 in particular is overkill because it doesn't support UHS-II, so you'll pay more for something that you don't make use of.

[@f3m467]

still recomended the Meike flash after almost 1 year? or better flash came out for the A6000?

[@michelmdf]

great video. Please how do you connect the Audio Recorder in the Sony A6000 cam ?

[@icefox13]

Love your videos. One thing I want to add concerning the SD cards: The A6000 seems to top out at about 36MB/s write speed. The 300 MB/s UHS-II shown is of course in no way necessary for the A6000 and even the suggested 100 MB/s is a lot more than the camera can handle. I think you have to find a sweet spot between speed, price and longevity of the cards, since you may use them for some years to come even after a camera upgrade.

[@MrPhilbautista]

You'll need the faster write speed to record the best video but you're right about the 300MB/s being overkill. 100MB/s write speed should be good enough.

[@Political_Discourse]

You have banding in your video. The shutter speed is not matching the rooms light refresh rate. Are you using the a73 in silent shutter mode?

[@MrSilesrafael]

Technpix I was gonna say the same thing

[@chescoplamenov8510]

yup

[@strixxx896]

If you are recording video , basically you are using silient mode.... BCS the camera doesn't use the shutter

[@Behindstage]

Question! I had a Sony a5000 which I recently sold for the 6000..I had to sell the prime lens with it but I do have a Sony E 30mm f3.5 Macro lens (This compliments a telephoto which I have also) am I correct in saying this will make for a good prime for the time being while I save for another lens..I love macro but also the landscape and environment so to have one lens that accomplishes both (without carrying my extra lens) is really ideal.

[@KawaiiAznPanda7]

Can you do a video balancing the A6000 on the gimble? My bf has the same one and kind of struggles getting it right. I have a project coming up and my professor only allows stable shots, so if I borrow the gimble, I'd like to know how to do it. Thanks!

[@DiviPhotos]

Cool video

[@katzsteel]

So ?. Going on a trip to New York and was wondering how you carry the a6000 and lenses around all day. Do you use a backpack or what would you suggest or have had the best luck with? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

[@babybear4524]

Can you please tell me which of the A6000 bundles you would recommend for someone new to using anything other than a point and shoot camera? I wish to spend mo more than $800 but right now with so many sales there are many camera and bundle packages to choose from.So aside from the more expensive individually sold accessories you mentioned above which basic accessory bundle should I get? Thanks so much

[@jdiv4650]

Sony batteries provide drain/level status. Do the batts youre recommending do that?

[@redskinfaithful]

I have those ravpower batteries....did you have any issues with them not charging after a few months?

[@Pertamax7-HD]

Ok sir

[@molohov3875]

Any suggestions for a remote shutter that you could use with a selfie stick? Or even better, a combo of those two :)

[@craftytravellersworld]

Hi, can you advise and give me details of gimbal and flash light? Please. Also what you recommend to get better nice video with filters? Which ones gives you better look. Thanks

[@lameroad1569]

Bro I love your a6000 vids KEEP IT UP!!

[@Bob-Campbell]

I would love a zihyun crane, however that price tag is just too steep. Are there any lower priced gimbals that you would recommend.

[@UltraDXSASC]

What is the difference between SD and Micro SD? For example the one in the description and some like SanDisk 128 extreme, the One UHS-I, U3, V30 etc etc

[@piotr10007]

How long does it take to charge the battery? and how long does the battery work just for how long? thanks for the answer

[@Razor2048]

In terms of SD card speed, the Sony A6000's SD controller tops out at around 35MB/s, though it is good to go for at least a UHS1 card that can do around 100MB/s so if you get a newer camera, you will benefit from a faster SD controller. Get a good card now that you won't have to upgrade anytime soon unless you move to XQD cards.

[@ChristiaanCorthals]

does this tripod have angle scales for horizontal and vertical settings?

[@Bennyyeo1252]

Awesome list! I should really invest in a flash and a tripod...

[@THEKINGZ1996]

about the flash. i would have buy godox tt350s. check it out !

[@gabinofotografia1677]

Arthur, what gimbal would you recommend? Scorp C or Crane 2 or Crane m3?

[@tinplater]

Will this remote operate the power zoom function of an A6400 with the 18-105 PZ lens attached?

[@Navarrete19]

Can you show us how to set up the audio accessories?

[@LudoKlack]

DO then in editing i would have to Sync my audio Yes? I use Adobe Premier Pro and ive tried other way of syncing audio and it just never does it right. is there any tips?

[@joewallau874]

Great videos. Thanks! I am looking at picking up an a6000 as a second camera to my HEAVY Pentax dslr. I am doing this to go light and small. My question is about lenses. Specifically, is there a list of lenses that are corrected in-camera (distortion, etc.) I am considering several non-sony's: Sigma 19mm f2.8, Tamron 24mm f2.8. Right now, I don't intend to post-process. I just want to take advantage of the in-camera compensation of jpeg's. Favorite photos are scenery, historic buildings, travel. I have also considered Viltrox 23mm f1.4. (too big/heavy), and Sony 28mm f2 (not sure that I'd like the 28mm (42 EQV). Again, think I want light and compact. (Note: I have apsc 35(50) and 50(75) with the Pentax.) How can I find the lenses that are corrected in-a6000. Certain firmware versions? Thanks. Joe W.

[@pop1348]

Hello ! Can A6500 handle UHS2 ? I don't think... Thanks anyway for the video. A power bank to charge your battery is important too !

[@fisherxc]

How do you use the external recorder when there is no external mic connector in n the a6000? I have the h5 btw.

[@husseink64]

That tripod remort.. Is it compatible with a7iii as well?

[@SaschaWagner]

If you buy that SD-Card smaller than 64GB you won't be able to record in XAVC-S because the 32GB variant is SDHC and the 64GB variant is SDXC. I'm not sure how important XAVC-S is, because I don't make much videos. But it's at least worth mentioning!

[@TheWantedUnknown]

XAVC-S is the only Codec that allows a higher bitrate (50Mb/s) which gives more information in movement and shadows, rendering sharper and clearer images in those aspects. It's also capable of recording 60p(progressive) fps. Quick note: it saves the files in a .mp4 format, or wrapper, which may make people think that it has no difference, but it surely does.

[@oahsu8900]

I'd expect the intro after you said "Here we go" but it didn't show~hahahaha.

[@neogod29]

Question. I just bought the Sony tripod, and the Meike flash. I found out while on the tripod, the flash won't work. Is there a way to get it to work while it's on the tripod?

[@mygame9896]

do you know if ther is a remote to controle the shutter and the diafragma? It would really help me out.

[@giloy27]

hi, about the gimbal is it possible to mount the sony a6000 with batterygrip in the gimbal?
