VLOGGING on SONY a6000 | What ACCESSORIES you NEED

[@andrisyafaatofficialchannel]

Great content! Sony a6000 is not dead; it's still a tiny beast👍

For sure my man! Especially paired with some nice prime lenses 💪 And thanks for checking out the video Andri 🙌

[@user-os7hk4kv8x]

a6000 is not dead. It is. For example I still use Sony Nex-5 )))))

[@thekayakfishingfreak]

Very good explanation, I currently already have the a6000 and wanted to use it for recording in the house due to it having better picture quality over my GoPro. Now I know what I can add to it and make it work. Thanks!!

[@TomsJurjaks]

Yeah mate, of course it's not a perfect solution, but not always you need to upgrade to make it work. Really glad this video was helpful for you. Good luck with your videos 🔥

[@JohnvanGurp]

What a terrific review and summary, all of those same thoughts have been going through my head over a couple of years and I actually ended up with many of the accessories. Funny thing though, I started using my phone or my Insta 360GO2 for vlogging as they are each just so extremely convenient and the quality is pretty good. Meanwhile I bought a Tamron 18-300 for my a6000 and wow, what a combo. It’s the ultimate lens imo.

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks a lot for your kind words John. I totally get why you would use your phone or 360GO2 for vlogging. The technology has so much evolved in the past years that we dont need to carry around all the equipment to do simple vlogs. Makes perfect sense👌

[@JustKeepinItRil]

2 years later, and this video is helping me a ton! Thank you!!!!!!! 😊

[@TomsJurjaks]

I am very glad it is 🙏

[@kamilchosta5526]

I have a6000 too, but when you need so many accessories for vloging I would sell it all and just go buy the a6400. Less bulky, easier to carry and manage/maintain. Also I use a my girlfriend's make-up mirror for seeing myself when it's a stationary setup.

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey Kamil, I agree with you 100%. Its totally worth to upgrade for a6100 or a6400, but unfortunately in many countries the new lineup is really expensive and out of budget for a lot of people so they must come up with some cheap solutions. But if you have the extra cash, I can't recommend enough the a6400 - its absolutely amazing camera 🔥😌🙌👌

[@beckbaiseitov]

Great video, such an understandable video Simple and cool Thank you

[@DennisMeetsWorld]

Buy the A6400. Flip up screen, mic jack, 4k video 30fps, 1080p 120fps, picture profiles, 425 pd autofocus points, eye autofocus in photo, weather sealed body, no recording limit, etc. Definitely worth it. Bought one for preowned for $600 in excellent condition w/ 16-50mm kit lens and extra accessories. Couldn't be happier. If you buy the A6000 you'll always wish you saved up more to purchase a "better camera" fit for vlogging.

[@TomsJurjaks]

I totally agree Dennis. A6400 is absolutely amazing camera which I also bought very recently and I love it. Much less hassle and performance is amazing! Unfortunately, there is bunch of people here who have the a6000 already and they don't have enough cash to buy a new camera so I am just trying to show them what can they do with the little money they have.

[@oheerheer6306]

Excellent content and straight to two very important relevant points. Keep it up. I brought this for streaming (beginner) and soon hit the buffers with with Mic and the hassle to ge this working as a stand-alone made me park this to one side until now. Thank you. One of their thing. What is the easiest way to remove the 30min record limitation?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thanks a lot Oheer. I tried to use a6000 as webcam, but it turns out its not possible - its interesting to know how are you using it for streaming! Regarding the 30min record limit, I believe you can not remove it on older models of Sony. I somehow have a feeling that only the newer cameras (or more pro lineup) does not have that limitation. And thanks a lot for checking out the vid buddy 🙌

[@wasabiginger6993]

Very helpful, thanks! I am on a budget and want to do vlogging outdoors so found a a6000 on eBay for $460 (open box, a Target overstock) ... I would be happy to pay Sony prices for a great mic, but the Amazon reviews are only 4 stars on all 3 available ... BAD BAD Sony!!! ... Am surprised that some other company with good to high quality mics has not jumped on making a compatible mic for this camera and others like it with only a shoe ... because it is a great camera and will keep selling ... holding a price only a couple hundred dollars less than original retail price.

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey buddy, I agree with you, but there just might be another solution. As one of the commentators said here - there are these little adaptors you can use.

[@r12rtpilot]

A really great video....I've been trying to decide do I sell my a6000 and go to a camera with a reversible screen? Or just add the bits and pieces. Arguably, there are a number of cameras out there that have a flip up screen for vlogging, and not all as expensive as a Sony. Thanks for making this video!

[@TomsJurjaks]

You are very welcome and I thank you for checking the video out. You are completely right - there are ton of options to choose from and I think sometimes its easier to just get a different camera rather than thinking of these addons, however, sometimes spending that extra cash on another camera feels a bit off if you can spend so little for this flip mirror.

I have a Gopro 8 for vlogging, but I'll probably buy a used a6000 for photography and b-roll. Its the best value for the price. I was thinking to buy canon M50, but there are not many used ones and a new one is out of my budget. Thank you for the video and hello from Mexico 🤘

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey Alan, I think you are doing the right thing. I also have GoPro 8 and am vlogging on it quite a lot. Did you buy the media mod? Because it seems that original GoPro audio is not the best. And a6000 for B-Rolls will be epic. Just get one or 2 cool prime lenses and the footage will blow your mind 🙌 And you are right, getting used a6000 is much easier. I recently got one with the kit lens for less than 400$. And thank you so much for checking out this video. Greetings to Mexico 🇲🇽

[@AlanMeksikanac]

@@TomsJurjaks I don't mind the audio on the Gopro. For me it's ok. But I do have a little recorder, sony ICD-UX560F and a lavalier Mic. Sometimes I use that, but when I'm walking around the city I just use Gopro. Maybe you could do a video about the lenses for a6000? I would like to hear your advice.

[@TomsJurjaks]

@@AlanMeksikanac of course its always more convenient to just record straight into camera. I also have an external recorder, but syncing the audio to video is a bit of hassle. Thats a good idea Alan, I planned on making video about the kit lens (16-50) for vlogging and maybe another one for photography (comparing it with some premium lens), but having more of an overview video of lenses in general for a6000 could be a good one.

Transferring the files should not be a problem if you use a card reader and connect it to your iPad or laptop. I hope it helps!

[@niccoloferrari-ltd816]

After this video I'm really undecided... I'm a beginner videomaker and photographer, I don't really mind about flip-up screen, so I don't know if it's worth for me to go for the 6100... I'm looking for some cages for the a6000 to put on a mic and a recorder... maybe it's a better option than buying the a6100... Could you please tell me if it's worth spending money on the a6000 in this case?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey Niccolò. I understand your dilemma and I would say that all depends on the deal you can get. If you are not actively vlogging on this camera (hence no need for the flip up screen) and you don't mind using a cage with the sound recorder then honestly I would suggest you to go with the a6000 because you can get it currently for ridiculously low price (search up some barely used and you will get it for 250$) while the a6100 does not have any offers and its being sold at full price. The only downside in your case for getting the a6000 vs a6100 is that a6100 can shoot 4K and 100mbps and 120fps at 1080p while a6000 shoots only 1080p, 50mbps and does max 60fps. So this is the question to yourself... Would you pay 400$ extra for 4k and 120fps? I would say no. If you are a beginner, get the a6000, shoot day and night, get your skills sky high and when you are ready, sell a6000 and get a6400 (skipping a6100). Ultimately the decision is yours of course and don't worry, whatever you choose, its gonna be a great choice, there are no wrong choices here. Good luck mate.

Hi Damola. Yes, you would need to upload it separately since the audio is recorded either in your phone or external recorder. Unfortunately, it doesn't record directly in the camera (unless you use that Sony Mic I mentioned).

[@EstherOngenda]

Do you have any tips stabilization? The videos I took were so shaky even though I wasn’t shaking all that much ....

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey Esther, since a6000 doesnt have IBIS (in body stabilization) I suggest you use lenses with OSS (optical steady stabilization) built in. More expensive but worth it. Alternatively - get a gimbal like DJI Ronin SC. It will do wonders to your footage but bit of hassle to always set it up and carry around. Hope it helps!

GoPro is cool but I really don't like how the footage looks, everything is in focus, no bokeh, no way of getting cinematic shots, cant change the lenses, color correction is a nightmare and audio is really bad. Better spend a bit more and get something that will last you much longer and for more things. Also consider getting gimbal? Like the new Crane-M3.

I have sony a6000 and mic wireless GO, how to connect them?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Since there is no mic port you cant record the audio in camera. What you need is an external recorder like Zoom H1

@@TomsJurjaks ya, thanks so much!^^

Many. Please watch my other videos not only to see which are my favorite lenses, but what results they give.

Hi Tom,how long can I record a video on a6000 and can I record while charging?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey Kevin. I believe recording limit is 29min. And I'm not certain but I think you can record while charging your camera, however I don't see a reason why you need to do it as the battery lasts quite a while. Also you can check there are these "battery plugs" - basically it looks like a battery but its actually connected to the plug and directly powers the camera so you don't need to worry about battery level. Hope it helps brother!

how to make the microphone and recorder on the UURig flip screen mirrow?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey Truwio, there are 3 cold shoe mounts on that UURig mirror, so you can easily attach a microphone, recorder or even a light if needed.

[@Ploppsen]

@@TomsJurjaks Thanks for your quick answer :) Keep up the good work.

[@vampolascott36]

There's an app on the camera that allows you to see yourself on your smartphone screen and control the camera with the phone.

[@TomsJurjaks]

Which one? Imaging Edge from Sony?

[@vampolascott36]

@@TomsJurjaks Yes, but it can be a pain to pair with my phone. It allows me to see what's in the viewfinder and take a picture in stills mode.

I've had the Sony A6000 for years. Thinking of getting the Zoom H8. Any hints on using them together for live music recording?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey Delphine, oh wow - The H8 is a beast! Well since a6000 doesnt have audio jack there is no way how to connect it with H8. The only way is to record it separately and then sync the audio in post production.

[@delphinekirkland1757]

@@TomsJurjaks Thanks

[@delphinekirkland1757]

@@TomsJurjaksThanks! And in that case probably just as well to have the H8 either next to the camera on a tripod or run through the board? No real advantage to mounting it atop the camera?

I've never tried that! Does it even work Dezra? Now im curious!

[@thefotoguyfilms6084]

Can't we connect microphone with adaptor to camera?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Sorry mate, there is no audio input port in this camera whatsoever so there is just no way how to get the audio signal in camera. The only option is through the hot shoe as I said in the video by using Sony's Shotgun mic.

[@thefotoguyfilms6084]

We can make a port using adaptor right..but will the software work ? Audio will be recorded? Usking a simple mic and then using adaptor to connect it.

[@TomsJurjaks]

@@thefotoguyfilms6084 as I said, Im not aware of any adapters. The only way how to get audio is either recording externally or using specific Sony's Shotgun mic that records through hot shoe. Ive never heard of any other solution being possible so i really don't know what you are referring to

[@amiteradda]

[@QuicksandMindset]

Hello, why would I need to ZOOM H1 recorder and the shotgun mic? Doesn’t the Zoom do it all?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey, yes of course you can use the Zoom H1 alone, however as it has 2 microphones it records very wide area of sounds. If you want to record ambient sounds - it is perfect, but if you want to vlog then your voice would blend in with rest of the sounds from the street. To fix this - its preferable to use shotgun mics as they have the polar pattern that records majority of the sounds right where you point them, thus giving you much cleaner sound, blocking out most of unwanted street noise and mostly picking up your voice. Hope it makes sense for you!

[@QuicksandMindset]

@@TomsJurjaks Makes absolute sense! I ended up buying both either way because I trusted your insight. Can’t wait 😁 Thanks for the information

[@TomsJurjaks]

Haha I hope it works well for you brother 😁 It will be a bit clutter and then you need to sync it up in post but the sound should be quite good (100x better than in camera mic at least) 😁 Good luck!

[@QuicksandMindset]

@@TomsJurjaks I will update you as soon as I give the setup a try in a few days. I even bought the mirror for selfie. Be on alert when I message back here :)

[@OliverBerger]

why do you have a GoPro mounted on the camera in the video but don't talk about that at all?

[@TomsJurjaks]

I used it for one of my POV photography videos, but honestly its not practical, so was just showing that you can mount whatever you want

[@Greggiexplore]

a6000 is terrible for vlogging, selling one. Bought Fuji x-s10 with excellent Ibis stabilization

[@TomsJurjaks]

It is what it is. Unfortunately not everyone can afford to spend 1000$ on a perfect camera. Im sure the Fuji XS10 is amazing, good luck with it. But this video is just to show people how to make the best out of the situation if they already have the a6000 and can't upgrade to something else.
