Hi Garfy, Thanks for that. I actually found out on this shoot when doing lowlight it’s always better to underexpose fired. Period because then none of your skies bright lights or lights will be over exposed. And everything in the image is exposed correctly. Now granted a lot of the darks and shadows were pretty dark but that gave it a moody feel and I kinda liked that, what do you think?

[@gaandu312]

I really appreciate your content,,, can u tell me How much it crops when stabilization is on

[@Joe_I_Hadley]

All those lights around the coke machine and the color and exposure are perfecto.

[@thefilmalliance]

Thanks, I know it’s a pretty cool shot

Did you have a tie stabilization switched on? If so why if you have a gimbal already? Doesn’t active stabilization crop further?

It will change the faces if i film closely a face with that lens (on the zve10) ?? I saw on the internet, when we film with a lens like this, if we film closely a face it will be horrible. True ?

[@shawnfoodfever]

[@thefilmalliance]

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

[@OffGridAdventure]

I’ve been using this lens for a few months now and love the quality of it. The crane M2s seems to work pretty well with the ZV E10. Are you able to access the battery port with it mounted? Also, do you have to rebalance every time you use it? I’m currently using Catalyst Prepare after each session and it has some disadvantages with rendering quality.

[@thefilmalliance]

Hey there, yes I would advise always re-balancing every single time you mount it back on. Now you don’t have to balance it from the ground up Just basic readjustment. For some reason it never seems to balance the same way every single time I have to take it off to put the battery on. I wish they made some type of plate system where you can still access the battery door and be able to put it back on the Gimbal without having to re-balance it. I know the bigger gimbals like the Weibo less in the DJIRS to have these plates and it is super helpful especially a long day shoots.

Thank you Fernando. I actually found on the shoot it’s better to under expose. When you can see all of the highlights like in the sky and the lights it makes the video so much better. Yes that means a lot of the darks will be too dark but I think that’s better than having over expose sky or highlights

Hi Ricky, I don’t know about all that. You’re pretty good. I’m just learning as I go and you guys are here with me so we can all learn together. One of the things I love most about the ZVE 10 is it slow like capabilities. I really found out on the shoot that when you wanna get these types of cinematic shots do you have to underexposed everything

[@ShaMagic]

I used an attachable light to capture the leaves in a cinematic low light, and it looks great. You should try it, a light from Ulanzi, it's perfect for up close up cinematic low light

Low light setting for zv e10

[@riggrodigital]

Does the contrast ratio and the brightness feels Low with ZV 10 as compared to the other cameras of Sony which are of much higher? Is the lens 11 mm f/1.8 best as compared to sony 15 mm f/1.4 or veltrox 13 mm f/1.4 or Sigma 16 mm f/1.4 Kindly suggest which is the best in stabilization, wide angle while blogging.

[@thefilmalliance]

So I think the first question we have to ask is, what are you primarily shooting?

[@timbrowntown]

Looks great! I'd love to see a comparison of footage with the gimbal vs. catalyst browse along with your thoughts. I tried a gimbal with my cellphone and thought it was just too awkward for what I wanted to do with it which would mainly be for family videos and traveling. I realize most people use their cellphones but I want something in between. I don't mind getting a gimbal if I eventually want to do something more cinematic, but if I only do cinematic 10 or 20% of the time should I just use catalyst browse for those occasions? I'm currently waiting on the arrival of my ZV-E10 and the Sony 11mm/1.8. It was a hard choice between that and the Viltrox, but I figured I'd start with the widest and lightest first and if it's too wide/distorted I can return it for the Viltrox.

[@thefilmalliance]

What a great idea although I don’t use Catylist. I believe it adds way to much time to my workflow. Yes the results are amazing but with a higher shutter my shots are compromised. Thanks so much for the comment

[@timbrowntown]

@@thefilmalliance Cool. I noticed you use Cine2? What are your thoughts on HLG3?

[@draftzero]

Curious as to how you feel about the 11mm? I'm pretty much in your shoes and was thinking about pulling the trigger on the Viltrox, but now reconsidering after this low light sequence.

[@timbrowntown]

@@draftzero in a previous conversation, he recommended the Viltrox 13mm. I went with the Sony 11mm and I'm very pleased. I think it's superior for vlogging whereas if you're behind the camera or doing talking head more, probably the Viltrox. I picked up the Sony 35mm f/1.8 when I'm behind the camera used from MPB for under $250. Was listed in excellent condition but I can't find anything wrong with it so I'm 100% pleased with it. My channel has some footage from both of those lenses but I'm not pro like film alliance. Might give you some perspective.

[@draftzero]

​@@timbrowntown Just checked out your video and subscribed! First lens (after the kit lens), I bought the 35mm and should arrive 12/5. Glad I did from what I saw from your video. I think I may go with the Viltrox + Gimbal as I just don't see myself ever vlogging. As most of what I shoot are talking heads + behind-the-camera. Now I"m just debating between the Crane M3 vs the Weebill S. Gahhhh!

[@zubamans]

Nice lense, small gimbal. I have a question. Can gimbals reduce or stop rolling shutter?

Hi Guba, What a great observation. Yes I believe gimbals can reduce that rolling shutter receipt. Because the camera doesn’t have such jerky movements. I would recommend on a gimbal to always moving in slow motion though because then you will see that Jell-O affect in the background

Hello, I am an upcoming filmmaker and I just received the sony zv-e10. I always have doubts wheather if I can record publically or not. Therefore my question to you is why you blurred out the shops and brands? or is it because the video is monetized that you made the decision. I'd like to know about it. Thank you

This is a great question, I always play it safe instead of recording all this stuff and then having someone asked me to take it down because they did not want their brand product or a company to be in the video. Now granted sometimes logos and brands slip through but it only takes two seconds to blurred out with Final Cut Pro masking.
