PART 2 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3nWlJZqhKuqn6c 🤡👇⁉However, the competition of ZV-1f does mini HOLLYWOOD CAMERA MOVEMENTS 👀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4ataX2ieK52mNk

I would still pick SONY for quality's sake. If you need to move much, you just buy a pocket 3. There is really no problem here.

@VictorReviewsGarage 3 күн бұрын

I agree. I think that makes sense. Problem comes when you position the camera as a vlog tool. The camera is clearly not ready for a vlog setup where movement is involved. and this guy is priced as a pocket 3. :(

@@VictorReviewsGarage You are right. It must be way cheaper than Pocket 3. Fortunately it is a bit cheaper here in SA, but still, it must be way cheaper.

@@qtalksongs I think the stabilisation that GoPro has for a smaller price is also software :) I think Sony is just lacking in the software for now...

I bought ZV-E1 with a sky-high expectation that the stabilisation for the handheld is going to be amazing. But, it was just crazy, especially when panning to one side. If it is static (or better on a tripod), the quality is superior for sure, nice colour and bokeh. But most of the time, I use BlackMagic Cam on iPhone 15 PM, the stabilisation is far from GoPro Horizontal Levelling, but, the wobble is not as bad as those coming out from Sony. I have Pocket 3, but the gimbal is hard to control to go "where" you want it to focus.

I feel you man, I think the sony's digital stabilisation might work well with IBIS or something. Haven't tested it yet. Nothing compares to horizon Levelling from GoPro 🤣 but the quality is digital. btw, inside the settings of the iphone settings/ camera it has an "Enhanced stabilisation" option that crops in a bit on the 4k in the native camera. Handheld it almost looks like on a tripod. for black magic app do you shoot ProRes or normal?

@halimrahman 4 ай бұрын

@@VictorReviewsGarage I set my Sony to use Active Stabilisation which utilises IBIS. Of course, you can use Sony's app to stabilise further (but the free version only outputs in 8-bit). I stabilised using Final Cut Pro and I was not impressed at all. I love horizon levelling but I started to ditch GoPro and leave it only for "action" as it was meant to be. As you said, the quality is digital as it crops in and therefore reduces the final quality. 5.3K my **s! Totally misleading advertisement. Yes, the native app crops in slightly for the stabilisation process, but not as aggressive as GoPro and you don't really "lose" that tiny bit of discarded sides. I did a panning test while running and the result came out smooth, considering the physical movements. I shot Apple Log in BlackMagic Cam. I used ProRes format in the early days and it filled up my hard drive rather quickly. Afterwards, I switched to HEVC format and to be honest, I don't see quality degradation at all (of course, I did not pixel peeping). Despite BlackMagic Cam not being a native app to utilise in-body stabilisation, the app still produces recordings that are quite smooth. I was in the passenger's seat in a car. I recorded handheld and I was expecting that the bumpy road and the wind against my phone would make the recording rather jerky. However, I was surprised that the recording played out rather smoothly! One more thing: From my observations, the sharpness (clarity and details) of the iPhone (Apple Log) almost matched to ones from Sony: both produce natural-looking clips. Whereas, GoPro (Log W400) and Pocket 3 (D-Log M) still look digitally sharpened.

I would combine ZV 1F and Osmo Pocket 3 to travel. When it comes to focus, use ZV 1F, i notice my OP 3 lacking focus. But for movement vlogging, 😂 say no to ZV 1F. It becomes shaky, unless you're ninja 😂. Steady mode of your own body.

@NEESHiMinaj 4 ай бұрын

So what I'm gathering here is that the Sony's issue is stabilization. Which is so valid but outside of that, the quality of the image seemed great.

Stick around for the next episode, I am testing the footage on tripod only. but just saying the 1:13 is shot on a tripod and it's not what it should be. But let's say that was a complicated scene.

@ztejstronymarcin 22 күн бұрын

I've had this camera for a week, and honestly, after the first walk with the Sony ZV-1f, I had very mixed feelings. The truth is that everything is expensive these days, and I wanted a new camera for $500-600. Unfortunately, this one is very average. I bought equipment for it (case, UV filter, memory card, magnesium lens closure, protective glass), and I keep trying to convince myself "it's not that bad, it will be okay, you bought so many things for it and now will you return it to the store"? Well, I don't know what to do. I watch on KZbin how most people praise it and I start to think "there is something wrong with me, because I see a lot of disadvantages of this device." The worst thing is that in Poland there is absolutely NO alternative to this camera, with this money you can't buy anything new. It's a nightmare. I really don't know what to do. I have about a week to return this camera. Honestly, what I cared about most was the photos...

@VictorReviewsGarage 21 күн бұрын

What are you using it for? Just pictures or where are you disappointed? I feel you man, the key here is how most people/youtubers praise it, I think this is the secret to youtube growth, saying only good things about things and getting from one review to another. I've seen people get ok footage from the camera, I also got ok footage some time. What helps me is to think of it as: what fits you style. I wrestled with a Panasonic gh5 for years YEARS until I gave up. Returning a product is not hard man, don't be captive in a purchase decision :) Also for 500$ you can try some used good cameras. I'm in Eastern Europe so I fully get what you mean.

@@VictorReviewsGarage I will say this. I had a Panasonic Lumix FZ38 for years. However, over time, the photos on it began to look less attractive compared to the phone. To be honest, the fact that the camera shoots videos "ok, cool, maybe it will be useful for something" and that's all, I care about photos 90%. I sat up all night today (some of the other nights without sleep) and it didn't give me any peace. I won't say that I'm rich, I plan to buy such a camera again for about 10 years. I take photos of landscapes, buildings, animals, and of course family. Pure amateur. However, over the years, I have learned to use manual mode. Having this ZV-1F I felt as if someone had clipped my wings. It's stupid, but zoom is important to me too. In the store where I bought this camera they said that "it has a 4x optical zoom" I thought "that's great, that's enough for me" and as you know, in the case of the zv-1f... Generally, as I wrote after another sleepless night. I came to the conclusion that I would return this camera. And since I want a new camera, I thought about the Sony ZV-E10 + 16-50mm for little money. I hope I won't make a mistake this time, but looking more closely, from zv1f it is according to. me much better. What do you think about this?

@bitsandblocks7826 4 ай бұрын

Not that impressive. The Sony only has electronic software stabilisation (resulting in a crop) vs Iphone 15 Pro has IBIS and the Pocket 3 has a 3 axis gimbal. It does have a mic input which is great but only contrast detect AF. If size is important i'd likely stick to an Iphone as removes need to carry another device. The Sony has a larger sensor but for similar money you could get a used MFT camera and prime with way superior IBIS, larger sensor etc, not pocketable but still small and same sensor used in many Black Magic cameras.

@VictorReviewsGarage 4 ай бұрын

Yup, I used the mic input for a few shots but the dji mic 2 is just sweet. Yeah I would also probably stick to an iphone myself because I walk a lot when I shoot, also handheld. I could not find a way to shoot with the small zv1-f without a tripod where I was satified with the quality. Sometimes I see some footage on the iphone it just amazes me on the quality. MFT sure, not sure how a ZV1 MK2 would be in this case. Tho my micro four thirds camera felt a bit harder to focus than this little guy (sony zv1-f) Don't you feel for the same money the pocket 3 is not better?

I have the same trio (except iPhone 13 Pro waiting until next month for the 16 Pro Max). I bought the Sony ZV-1 after seeing all the hype here on KZbin. It's been a disappointment for the same reasons you shared. Plus, it's made me extremely skeptical about influencer reviews for sure. The DJI is great and very flexible, but like another commenter, I'm not the best at moving the gimbal quickly. It's so small and powerful it's a keeper, mostly because of the control it affords me. If iPhones had aperture control (beyond a janky VDN setup) I would be set. I'm going to cine case out the 16 Pro Max and I'll look like a dork but get the mobile footage I need. I have a Lumix G85 that I'll keep in my studio. I used to bring it on every shoot because otherwise it looked like I was using toys. And I maintain you look like an @sshole getting paid and shooting the bride and groom with an iPhone, when you're surrounded by friends and relatives doing the same. I enjoyed your video. I felt the color science of the Sony was best, but not enough to compensate for its weaknesses (try to film action with that thing). So . . . until the perfect solution arrives, I'll fix it in post!

@VictorReviewsGarage 4 ай бұрын

hahahha we have almost the same setup man. I have the g80 (the european twin of your camera). iPhone 13 is pretty good man, first one with big sensor. I fully understand that reference of bringing a big camera to a shoot so ppl feel respected. The thing is if you look at the video up top (remember we shoot most of our videos on iphone/pocket 3) the beauty shots from 0:17 to 0:35 are shot on the iPhone 15 Pro Max 🤯 somehow less sharp than pocket in the same scene. I did not know the zv1 had the wobble :( I think I might also cage out the next iphone, this Max is a bit too big for my shooting style.
