Sony Camera Microphone Battle!

I recently purchased the Sony ECM-B10 to add to my collection of camera microphones.

How does the small and cheaper ECM-B10 microphone perform against the older, bigger, and more expensive ECM-B1M?

Honestly, I was a little surprised with the results. Check out the video and see for yourself.

Take Your Sony ZV-1 to the Next Level

The Sony ZV-1 is a great little camera. But there are some ergonomic issue that arise due to its size.

One of my biggest gripes was the placement of the tripod mounting area so close to the battery door forcing you to remove a tripod or mounting plate if you need to get access to the battery.

But SmallRig has a solution that not only addresses the access issue but gives you a better grip without dramatically increasing the size.

This is an absolute game changer!

Vlogging in Your Car

I recently watched a video on Sony Alpha Universe about mounting cameras inside your car and thought “that would be cool”.

I went out and purchased a SmallRig suction mount for my car window and started testing it for shaking, stability, and any other problems.

During one of my tests, my wife questioned if having the camera on the window was legal… and come to find out… it wasn’t. And it isn’t legal in 43 other states.

So I had to find an alternative. Check out my testing!

Should You Buy the Sony ZV-E1?

Sony announced the arrival of the ZV-E1 vlogging camera at the end of March and enthusiasts are excited. Featuring the same full frame sensor as the FX3 and the A7S3, the device should have fantastic image quality.

Couple that with a nex-gen AI chip to help with focus and subject detection and this camera really could be a game changer.

How to Configure a Sony A5100 as a Webcam

I dusted off my 9-year-old Sony A5100 and set it up as a webcam.

While the process was fairly simple, I did run into a few minor issues and decided to make a video to help you avoid those same problems.

Finding a new purpose for this great little camera instead of it sitting in a drawer makes me very happy.
