Neewer 18MM Adapter for Sony ZV-1

I purchased the Neewer 18MM adapter for the Sony ZV-1 last month.

At first I wasn’t sure if the adapter made the lens 6MM wider, but after a few tests… it really does work as advertised!

Check out the video to see the differences.

It happens to be on sale today for $55 – and I am not getting paid or any kickbacks for that!

Sony ZV-1 First Impressions

The Sony ZV-1 arrived last Friday and I have been taking it with me to understand the camera’s benefits and limitations.

The size makes this camera a winner, but it is not without issues. The small 1-inch sensor struggles in dark situations and there are some questionable design choices.

PS: I mentioned a clamp-style wide-angle adapter in the video, it can be found here: https://amzn.to/3B628yx

Playing with Nanlite Tube Lights

This is not a full review. I purchased (3) Nanlite Pavotube II 6C tube lights this week tested how they looked distributed in key places in my basement.

I liked the results, but I think I need a few more.

This video was filmed using the Sony A7IV with the 20MM 1.8 and I also used the 35MM 1.8

If anyone watching this has ideas on better placement, if I should dim the lights more, whatever… I would love some feedback/ideas!

Google Pixel 7 Pro Review

I bought the Google Pixel 7 Pro on day one and have been using it for over a month. This video covers my thoughts on the phone using T-Mobile service. I address:

  • Screen performance
  • Signal performance
  • Thoughts on the Pixel UI.

I also purchased the peak design mobile case for the phone with a few additional goodies, which I also review.

DJI Software Security Concerns

Drone and Action Camera maker DJI makes products camera and action enthusiasts love. I am one of those people, I have several DJI drones, gimbals, and I have a real love for their original DJI #osmopocket .

An attempt to update the pocket’s firmware and the MIMO phone app took me down a security rabbit hole.

Couple this experience with the book I am currently reading “This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends” by Nicole Perlroth and it has me questioning my next DJI purchase.

My Man Purse (OneGo 3L)

I bought a 3L PGYTech OneGo Solo 3L sling bag a few weeks ago for daily carry functions. I find myself leaving the house without ear buds and other useful things and I am hoping this small bag helps me remember to bring these items with me.
