The First Accessory You Can't Miss for the Sony ZV-E1 | SmallRig Cage Sony ZV-E1

[@captainfilmmaking]

Thx Vic for the great video - I was waiting for that cage-review! How is your experience with overheating (especially 4k 60)? Do you have problems and how does the cage have an influence on heat dissipation?

[@brianwhidden]

Just ordered my Sony Z-e1 today, next will be ordering the small rig as well. Great video. Thanks

[@VicBarry]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@AprilClayton]

I need this cage. Telephoto lenses are difficult with a tiny grip. I strapped on an LCD eye cup, and use the ZVE1 with Sigma 100-400 in 4K 120. I should get the A7S3, but this has animal eye detect in video.

[@driggsy]

Awesome overview! I was so hyped when they announced this cage. I ordered it in anticipation of picking up the ZV-E1 in a few weeks! Do you know if you can still use a B1M with this cage on? Really hoping the hot shoe mount has enough clearance around it.

[@DaveKellermanns]

I would think so - I have the ECM-B10 and the W2BT and they both fit.

[@driggsy]

@@DaveKellermanns Thank you! Glad to hear that

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Hey vic, iv been a susbcriber of yours since the original zv1. iv just upgraded to zve1! i bought the rig cage as well. I noticed there are a few different versions of the handle on the side from same company nato etc.. what difference it does not explain very well on amazon.

[@saxophonistscorner]

What kind of filter is on your lens?

[@Coolshows101]

What about if you have small hands? Several video reviews have mentioned that the zv-e1 grip seems small and not good. It feels great in my small hands. I haven't watched the full video yet but I am going to. Maybe this will change.

[@philvfilms]

I wonder if it draws heat away into the metal helping the overheating

[@dustindagamac]

Waiting on mine to ship out! Glad I found your video on it!

[@VicBarry]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@HK-NYC]

Can i mount the 4257 cage without taking the lens off? i.e. Does the top beam comes off?

[@manohasmodernlife]

Bought a smallrig case for my ZV e10 recently. I am absolutely amazed and it is SO useful with its multiple threads and the integrated Swiss mounting plate 🤘🏻

[@VicBarry]

Hey hey 👋 Yeah. They’re super useful. What have you mounted to it?

[@manohasmodernlife]

@@VicBarry since my lighting situation is REALLY bad even with a godox SL60, I added two lights from apature and some improvised cable management for 3 usbC cables and the cable for my Rode video mic. I prefer shotgun mics over lavalier 👍🏻

[@VicBarry]

Awesome stuff. Why is the lighting situation really bad?

[@manohasmodernlife]

@@VicBarry mostly because I record in our dining room and natural light comes from an awkward angle so I have to shut everything for a more controlled lighting Szenario. And the table makes it difficult to place the godox at the optimal position. But it got WAY better with the godox which I bought two weeks ago. I use the small camera lights just for some background separation now. The godox handles the rest now and gets rid of the shadows behind me 😅

[@3darms]

Can't wait for mine to arrive, looks great

[@VicBarry]

Sweet. Let me know how you find it

[@OrrWeiss]

how much heavier does it make the camera? i do vlogging a lot and im afraid it will make my arm get too tired

[@VicBarry]

To be honest I haven’t noticed much of a difference. Check the weight with smallrig maybe but otherwise I think it’s fine.

[@PulakChowdhury]

Dear sir. Does Small Rig Cade can help heat dissipate of zve1 ?? I want to buy a zve1 but i am very worried about overheating. in my country temperature is in summer between 32-35 c and in winter 22-26 c .. Please response sir ..

[@VicBarry]

I don’t think it does really. Not in my experience at least.

[@PulakChowdhury]

@@VicBarry thank u sir for your quick reply . Although did u face any type of overheating issue on that camera body..

[@VicBarry]

only when streaming via usb @@PulakChowdhury

[@PulakChowdhury]

@@VicBarry thank u sir.

[@Pontcher]

I want to change my a6500 for the ZV-E1, the main concern is about the heat.... Where I live, its constantly on 86ºF on day and 76ºF on night.... This camera its able to record 30mins+ of 4k30p on sun? And at least 15min of 4k60p? >.

[@VicBarry]

Hey there. Recently spent a week with the camera where it was in this high 80s/90s Shot everything from 4k 24 up to 4k 120 with zero problems.

[@jamskof]

yeah mine arrived a few days ago, i got the grip version, camera feels like a beast now.. defeats the object of getting a smaller amera.. but i didnt get it because it was smaller! :)

[@VicBarry]

Awesome stuff. What are you mounting to the ZV-E1 cage?

[@geodude4real]

I'm new to all this stuff, so was wondering if there might also be an attachment that could protect the usb port ? Like the hdmi one does? Would that be able to be fitted on it as well?

[@VicBarry]

Hey 👋 not as far as I know to be honest

[@Ghostface22x]

Epidemic Sound trial is only offering 7 days?

[@VicBarry]

They must have changed since this video was made

[@DigiDriftZone]

Does the cage have any impact/improvement when it comes to heat dissipation? - it should in theory, as you're basically strapping a heatsync to the camera.

[@VicBarry]

Hey 👋 not that I’ve noticed to be honest.

[@DigiDriftZone]

@@VicBarry Any chance of a test? :)

[@markkuautio7831]

Hello Vic and thanks to nice video. To cages has nato rail left side you don't need extra nato rail adapter.

[@VicBarry]

Hey there - Not on this cage specifically. You do need that adapter!

[@markkuautio7831]

@@VicBarry ok. Thanks

[@BOTG_Adventures]

What are those red button things hanging off the camera

[@ЮрийБ-ч1к]

Для кистево ремня. Подсоединить ремень, типа PGYTECH Camera Wrist Strap

[@THELIFEOFCB]

Is this for the Sony a7iv and the fx3 as well as can it be used with the falcm quick release plate? If not do you have another solution

[@VicBarry]

Hey. The cage is specific to the zv-e1. You can attach whatever plate you want to the bottom of the cage

[@THELIFEOFCB]

@@VicBarry do you know if they make one for the other cameras I specified

[@BuiltInception]

Now if they only provided a mini fan to bolt on so we can have unlimited shooting time 😅

[@VicBarry]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@3darms]

I 3D printed a mount for one, I'll put it on odysee later.

[@BuiltInception]

@@3darms gotta think someone would at some point. Sweet how do I find that? Never used odysee.

[@3darms]

@@BuiltInception I have the same username there. The fan uses 3 40mm fans and a pwm controller. I'll upload it later today.

[@sebastiandumbrava938]

@@3darms I searched for your print but I could not find it. I'm curious about the way you implemented the mount

[@geodude4real]

Was waiting for you to cover the hdmi thingy, that was one of the main reasons you said to get it but you didn't showcase it? lol

[@VicBarry]

😀 it’s literally just a clamp that will squeeze on the hdmi cable and make it incredibly my difficult for it to move or get yanked out.

[@geodude4real]

Haha i know, but i was wondering what happens with the door that opens that compartment, is it left in a vulnerable position, or is it shielded fully by the other part. What is the overhang etc...@@VicBarry

[@mdrock8787]

I got one on the way to me directly to iraq Thanks buddy for the advice ❤

[@VicBarry]

No problem 👍 best of luck. Let me know how it works out.

[@mdrock8787]

@@VicBarry I will ❤️

[@mdrock8787]

@VicBarry also the 120p for zve1 has dropped just to let you know 😃

[@CasaFassa]

Nice!!!

[@VicBarry]

Thanks for the visit

[@elijahmodnar1]

normally cages for sonys help with dissipating heat;)

[@VicBarry]

Ha. Fingers crossed. Haven’t run it enough yet to find out

[@zaymax_7]

I thought they made the zv e1 to be portable and for serious youtube vloggers.....this just makes in another video production camera like an a7siii with bad heating

[@VicBarry]

Hey. That’s an interesting point. To be honest I’d much prefer to have it and not use it, than need it and not have it. What are you shooting with the ZV-E1 that’s causing overheating issues?

[@kongsicerah8276]

It’s look quite heavy set up.

[@VicBarry]

No doubt when you mount a lot of gear it will get heavy but as for something like a mic etc it’s quite comfortable.
