Transform the Sony ZV1 into a CONTENT MACHINE - Best Accessories

[@lifewithjeo4584]

I ordered everything using your links! Best video I’ve seen so far on Sony Zv1 accessories!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Thanks for the support Jeo! Glad you found the video helpful!!

[@KianaBonollo]

ive been binging your videos for 2 days straight you are the BEST

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Thanks Kiana! 🙌🏻

[@nicoletiana]

I recently got the zv-1 camera and I love it! Change the stabilization setting to standard, it’ll zoom out more instead of it being super cropped. I have an unboxing and videos of this camera on my channel. Great compact camera.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Awesome!

[@iooz7097]

For me, zv-1 has everything needed to shoot videos and even movies. It has all Sony picture profiles and hlg. With gyroscope anti-shake. Built-in nd filter. Crazy autofocus. slog3 has a dynamic range of more than 12 stops.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Yeah it’s seriously crazy!

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

No other KZbinr has better lighting than Ben Johnson!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Thanks 320!

[@WandsInWonderland]

I just bought this camera and I am so IN LOVE with it.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

It’s so fun!!

[@This-Tranquility]

I really love how handy the cage is and the style is unique. Not the best battery but I’m so still in love with it I would work with it either way😅 I’m blow away by how great the sound is with the mic clear sound🙌🏾

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Yes the handle is cool!

[@DreamBigWithUsTravel]

Just got my Sony-ZV1! Also got the Diety mic, the smaller UUrig attachment, the 3 pack of batteries, and the Ulanzi wide angle lens. I’m ready to rock!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Amazing! You'll love that set up!

[@DreamBigWithUsTravel]

Thanks for the tips

[@DreamBigWithUsTravel]

I need this like yesterday

[@BrendanEvan]

That camera cage is worth it alone for the mounting options

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Absolutely!

Awesome video! Love your intro 🔥🔥 you’ve inspired me so much I need your lighting!

Stay tuned I’ve got some lighting video coming VERY soon :) in the meantime check out this video if you haven’t seen it yet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inPGfqKIZdGUrs0

Hello Ben!!! My opinion the best camera is camera which you got for now. My camera is Iphone 11 Pro

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Hey 60 Buy! I completely agree! Start with what you have. It’s more about the content than the gear 👍🏻

[@zhincic]

Ben Johnson all the way for filming & videography!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Thanks for watching!

I've just geared up with exactly these! The look you get from the zv-1 is amazing! Which pp are you using?

I use cine 2, you can check out my full color grading tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ3NnKydpp16gac

Almost there ben ! Hope to see you get 100,000 subscribers very soon 💯✨

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@DreamBigWithUsTravel]

Indoors Diety mic sounds better. Outside it’s hard to tell which is better.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Deity is def better overall in my testing, BUT, the onboard is def useable!

[@DreamBigWithUsTravel]

@@benjohnsoncreative I’m getting the ZV/1 soon and I’ll def be getting the Diety but it’s encouraging to hear the onboard outdoors is pretty good.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

For sure! I use it sometimes in a pinch

Thanks dude! Appreciate you making the vid.

[@TeamMD0]

Hey Ben, my goal is to shoot KZbin talking head videos in a studio environment only. Should I go ZV1 , E 10 or just use my 13 pro max ? If I got the E 10 I’d be using the kit lens.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

You should be able to get great results with your iphone. I would use the phone and save up until you can purchase the E10 and a better lens, or save even longer for an even better camera. Here is a video about lighting with an iphone: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2GUY6mQg9qWrcU

[@SteezReviewsTech]

Great video man. About to pull the trigger on the ZV1 and wanted to know what accessories i need for my ideal setup. Would you say the Ulazni wide lens has any negative impact at all on picture quality in 4K, active stabilization or any kind of distortion at all? Would really appreciate your insight! Cheers

[@benjohnsoncreative]

I haven’t noticed any!

[@SteezReviewsTech]

@@benjohnsoncreative thanks for the reply, keep up the great content!

[@MustangCollectibles]

Thanks for the reviews, would the cage work with the Sony ZV-1 Tripod?

[@benjohnsoncreative]

I believe it will, it’s just 1/4 thread attachments that it connects to

[@CreateProMedia]

Great video! New sub too. Looking at getting one of these cameras. Excited to expand my content. Agree with 320 and props to your lighting 👍🏼

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Thanks for watching! It’s a great little camera!

[@danielmahathir4001]

love it ben. ive known abt the zv1 shortcomings and its accessories. uve helped me to address those shortcomings with this video.i really need to get that case. thanks for sharing the links.does the ulazi wide angle lens hold up with that scotchtape on? huge fan ben. keep it up

[@benjohnsoncreative]

It does it’s been holding up super strong!

Nikon D500 + 70-200mm 2.8 So use my D500 with a 10-20mm for KZbin

@@benjohnsoncreative okay cool, I’ll have to check it out

[@komposxoini]

Thanks for the video. I would like to ask if one can screw a polaroid filter for reflections in the wide angle lens. Is there a spiral in front of the lens? What is the diameter of the lens? Thanks.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

No I don’t think you can but the zv1 has an ND filter built into the camera

[@KevinLe]

Great Video and suggestions! How is the cage attached if it's not screwed into the quarter-twenty on the bottom? Does it just clamp around the camera in two pieces? Also, have you seen the magnetic filter adapter for this camera? It seems you can add VNDs to it as well

[@benjohnsoncreative]

The cage is attached around the lens area by a screw which frees it from using the quarter twenty, also, the camera has built in ND filter on it

[@jessed883]

What is a good tripod that is tall for cooking videos?

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Most tripods get really tall, i like this one: amzn.to/3PXzZPP

[@athomewithstephanieg2852]

Hi Ben what did you use to connect the light? I bought the light using your links but it didnt come with the adapter thing you used to attach the light to the cage.

You can use one of these: amzn.to/30k1SNf You also might need this: amzn.to/31UAwO2

[@DavidFosterVlog]

The Ulanzi wide angle adapter is junk. I couldn't get it to stay on the camera. It fell off every time. I even tried super gluing it on and almost ruined one of my ZV-1's. Other than that, I love this camera. I have 3 of them now. Great review.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

I’d try a different one, mine works fantastically

[@DavidFosterVlog]

@@benjohnsoncreative it worked well when it stuck. But I tried two of the 3M tape and it still fell off. So weird. 😳 Maybe I'll see if I can find something stickier.

@@benjohnsoncreative Thanks G! Sorry I looked right over the light somehow lol

[@OurFantasyLife]

So, serious question....if you have to buy all of this stuff to make teh ZV-1 a better vlogging camera, why not just get the a6100 with a 16mm lens?

[@benjohnsoncreative]

You def can if you have the budget, the zv1 with this gear is still hundreds less

[@OurFantasyLife]

@@benjohnsoncreative Wait, is it? The a6100 with the 16-50mm kit lens is $849 at Best Buy (US) right now…the ZV-1 is regularly priced at $749, currently on sale for $649…the wide angle lens for the ZV1 is $50, the selfie stick is $25, the Uurig Cage is $70, which makes the ZV-1 with this kit about $800, if you catch the sale at Best Buy, or $900 if everything is regularly priced. I didn’t add the extra batteries or the mic cos you’d get those either way. Somehow the math isn’t adding up for me. What am I missing?

[@benjohnsoncreative]

@@OurFantasyLife the kit lens won’t get you the results you want You’d need a 16mm 1.4 lens to get a similar depth The value in the zv1 is that it has that crazy 1.8 depth which will give you the bg blur

[@korpulian]

Well, same stuff everywhere, same words, same accessories, almost identical presentation. They do all have the same black ring on their fingers. Is this a KZbinr thing?

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Lol if your hearing the same things it means multiple people are in agreement on something. Also, I’d suggest taking a break from watching so much content, and starting to apply the knowledge more. Create more than you consume. The ring is a wedding ring. It’s a rubber material, flexible and light weight. Easier to wear when shooting and handling light stands/cameras/gear all day. 10/10 would recommend.
