I got mine recently, and with the little time I’ve been able to use it I love it so far! Use it with an 18-105mm F4 and Sigma 30mm 1.4 and it makes some great quality video when I film in HLG3! The battery life is doodoo tho. I did buy a Feelworld MA5 monitor with a 8800mah battery that I use with a dummy battery to power both my camera and monitor, and this is a great solution!

I found one of these used for around 600$ usd on marketplace a few months ago and I jumped at it. I initially got it for a photography class at my university, but now that I have got into video, I’m super happy about its capabilities ESPECIALLY the 120fps at 1080p because I wasn’t even looking for that feature when I bought it. Now I’ve bought a nice Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 G2, the first gen Tamron 70-180m 2.8, a rode video mic, cage, side and top handle, and I have a v mount battery + external monitor on the way.

Most of u8s are not experts and so I wanted to get some help finding an affordable camera but this addition makes it where this is not under a 1000. Sort of makes the video title misleading for those of us who are amateurs. I walk away from this video still not having an affordable option.

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

Great video. How would compare this to the Sony a7c?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

The A7C is better but also more expensive.

[@kylebraby2357]

Wish you talked about focus though, is that manual focus or did you use any auto to maintain focus during the action (especially that rugby footage)

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

It was all shot in autofocus continuous wide mode.

[@richmonschumann4218]

Thanks for the tip. What lens would you recommend for filming outdoor on a soccer/football field?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

It depends on your budget and how close/far you are from the action. A Sony 18-200mm lens will catch everything from anywhere but the image quality is not the best. A 70-200mm F/4 or F/2.8 on the other hand will offer much better image quality but it is also more expensive and you will struggle to frame any action happening less than 10ft away.

[@CJ-yi6gb]

Great video! Interested in the Sony A6400 for basketball and football videos. Would you recommend using it on a tripod for stabilization or buying lenses with in body stabilization? How do you deal with the footage not being shaky because all your stuff looks clean?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

For me it highly depends on what I'm filming. If I'm filming outside on a football field, I need a zoom that can go up to 200mm to get close-ups. So I definitely need a tripod because all my handheld sport action when I'm fully zoomed in is going to be trash. But if I'm filming basketball and I can be on the sidelines, I'll probably film handheld so that my movements are faster and it's easier (for me) to keep the ball in frame. So to answer your question, if you have a long zoom you absolutely need a tripod. If not, a bit of stabilisation in the lens might be all you need.

Personally I think rolling shutter is a very overrated complaint.

Never in my life have I heard someone say “ I had a great shot but it was ruined by my rolling shutter”.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I didn’t notice it so I guess it can’t be that bad. But to be fair, I didn’t look for it or test it. If you want my personal opinion, rolling shutter is an issue that I feel is getting a bit blown out of proportion on KZbin these days. It feels like it’s the thing to complain about when you can’t find anything else to complain about. And that no one really notices it until it’s pointed out to them.

Love the channel! Looking to purchase my first camera and lens, likely going to go with the a6400 for sports photography and videography, is the Tamron 70-180 mm a good option for action sports (primarily basketball from the sidelines)? Looking at that lens option due to a smaller budget. Any other lens recommendations? Thanks!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

The Tamron 70-180mm is a great lens. I use it myself. But there's no internal stabilization though so if you use it on a camera that doesn't have stabilization either (A6400), it can be hard to get good stable shots handheld especially when fully zoomed-in at 180mm. Also, when filming from the sideline, even the widest shot at 70mm will be too tight when players are just a few feet away you.

The Sony ZV-E10 does seem like a better option these days than the A6400. It has a few more useful features that the A6400 does not have and it is also cheaper. But I personally haven't used it yet so I can't confirm how great it is or not. I do plan to do a review as soon as I can get my hands on one. As far as the Canon M50 is concerned, it only records 100/120fps in 720p and not 1080p. It also has a EF-M mount which means that you'll need an adaptor for your EF lenses or, if you buy EF-M lenses, you'll need new lenses when you'll get a new camera.

When i do my other skits/sketches/talking heads i do that myself no problem.

Hello there I'm writing from California USA I'm a soccer players and I would like to ask which camera would you recommend me and what tipe of lenses to record a game from the line side thanks

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

This camera is a good one for beginners. So is the ZV-E10 (here's my review video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIS4mHaYr7tsgac). You can see which lenses I used for this video in the description. If they are too expensive for you, I typically recommend these ones instead kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ6qlYqbqpV_gsk But ultimately you will need someone to manipulate the camera though. You can't just leave it on a tripod while you play and expect a great result.

[@familyreyes495]

I want to start recording my boys football games… Is this camera pretty good with zoom? Or which camera would you recommend with the best zoom?

Mirrorless cameras don't have zooms per say. The lens has a zoom and comes separately. So you need to buy the right lens with the zoom range you desire.

What type of SD card do you use for videoing sports Thanks

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

The type of SD card entirely depends on the camera you are using. There will always be a minimum writing speed recommended.

[@baseballfastpitch9258]

I just bought the A6400 based off your review, I’m planning to use it for my kids indoor basketball and volleyball games. I’m not sure what SD card to buy as well as an SD card reader. Appreciate your input as to what you would recommend Thanks Jim

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@baseballfastpitch9258 The Sony a6400 is compatible with SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, so you can use any card with those marks on them. Personally I like the Sandisk Extreme Pro cards. With the card reader, it's more about the connector than anything else. For example, a USB-C or Thunderbolt connector will transfer data much faster than a USB-A connector.

[@baseballfastpitch9258]

I use the extreme pro as well but not sure if it’s the best for what I’m videoing, it has the U with the number 3 inside it and has the number 128GB and 200MB/S. Some times I can’t see some of the videos on the camera it says video not available SD supposedly makes a professional SD reader for these cards but can’t find them anywhere even on Amazon or the SAndisk web site. I’ve asked the people at Best Buy where I bought the camera and they are clueless so thanks for taking the time with my questions. Jim

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@baseballfastpitch9258 the SD card you’re using are fine. And I think you are overthinking the card reader thing a bit. There’s no such thing as a good or bad card reader. They either work or they don’t, nothing in between. I get the feeling that you are actually editing your footage from the SD card. If that’s the case, it’s most likely the source of your problem. SD cards are not meant for that. You need to copy the footage from the SD card to your computer or to a hard drive and edit your footage from there. The sd card is only for recording and transfer.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

No worries at all but no, the A6400 doesn’t have in-camera stabilization. You can minimize the shakes by using a lens with stabilization though but it won’t be enough for running with the camera. You’d need a gimbal for that.

Is the A6600 worth the extra money? Is it noticeably better?

If you're simply talking about image quality, the answer is no. But, unlike the A6400, the A6600 has a headphone port and also image stabilization which are two very useful features.

[@Snestor97]

@@BeyondTheGame_E ty! Can you please explain the benefits of image stabilization as it pertains to sports ?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@Snestor97 the further away your subject is from the camera, the more you have to zoom in. And the more you zoom in, the bigger every little camera shake will appear on your screen because it is amplified by the distance covered. The same way the slightest movement on a telescope makes you point very far away from your original target. So now imagine if that target is constantly running around. Obviously it’s a lot easier to keep up with a camera than with a telescope but, the longer your zoom is, the harder it becomes. Image stabilization will make it somewhat easier because it will avoid some of the shakes. Not the big ones though, it’s not a night/day situation.

[@Snestor97]

@@BeyondTheGame_E Thanks so much man, really appreciate it. If you're using the 70-200mm lens, with a tripod, will it make the more zoomed in shots much better, or with that build is it less necessary?

@@Snestor97 you don’t really need image stabilization if you use a good tripod. It’s meant more for people shooting handheld. A tripod is basically the best accessory you can use to improve the stability of your footage.

This camera would be good but the overheating potential is always going to be a possibility with this camera or any other mirrorless camera for that matter. So if you don't need that mirrorless/DSLR look for you footage, I would go with a camcorder because they have fans built in. Or if you do want a mirrorless/DSLR look, you could go for a cinema camera or an hybrid like the Sony FX3. This is what I have now and it does have a fan inside.

Yes you can livestream with it. There are a few videos on KZbin that explain how to do it. And there is an hdmi port but it’s a mini-hdmi I believe and usually they are not as stable as the full size.

This is a good camera choice for the price but personally I would go for an 18-200mm lens instead of 55-210. This is a cropped sensor so if your filming from up close you are not going to fit a player’s full body at 55mm.

If you are talking about the camera potentially overheating, it could happen in these conditions especially if you are filming video at 120fps. But if you are simply taking photos, I don't think you would have any overheating problems. But if you are talking about the image being too bright, that's going to be the same for any camera. To keep using a low f-stop in the sun, you'll need ND filters for your lenses.
