All Things Joey
Focusing on all of my efforts around the art of making videos and social media. Camera, lens, and equipment reviews. I also share tutorials on anything I have learned over the years.
I continue to play with the AnkerWork M650 wireless microphone system. In my previous video, I noticed there was some audio clipping happening and the camera was showing peaking regardless of how much I reduced gain on the receiver.
I tested dropping the audio levels on the actual camera with much better results.
I also tried different 3.5mm audio cables that reduce gain without changing settings.
AnkerWork M650 Wireless Mic Comparison Test:
I recently purchased the AnkerWork M650 wireless microphone kit (thanks to a big Prime Day discount). Out of the box, I was impressed with the mic design and the receiver’s menu system.
This is my third wireless mic solution, so I decided compare the M650 and:
The M650 did well and it highlights some issues with the other microphones that made me less inclined to use them.
Additional Review Videos:
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!
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!
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.
