All Things Joey
Having a blog means having an opinion. This category groups reviews of technology, concerts, books, food – essentially all things consumable.
My friend recently gifted me this Sony ECM-XYST1M camera microphone. The benefit to using a mic like this is that you don’t have to use a 3.5MM cable which enables a cleaner camera set up.
Check out the video to see my thoughts and hear a comparison against the Deity D4 Duo.
We have been subscribing to snack box service Bokksu for a few years and my son recently started taking Japanese lessons so I thought it would be a fun idea for him to do a review video.
The September box had a Mid Autumn festival theme and featured more chocolate and mochi based treats than usual (much to Ben’s chagrin).
I recently purchased the DJI Mavic Air 2 with the smart controller. In this video, I discuss why I upgraded from the original Mavic Mini and why the smart controller was a game changer for me.
Note: I called the Mavic Air 2 the MAVRICK Air 2 throughout the video… I keep doing it, I can’t stop, I am sorry (lol).
I recently purchased a Sony 35mm F1.8 lens (SEL35F18F) and paired it with my A7C to make this review.
The low light performance is very good, but at the end of the video I was overly optimistic about the low light performance (I literally shut all of the lights off), as expected the ISO ramped up and caused some grain.
It still looked sharp and clear with very minimal lighting and I am looking forward to playing around with background lighting when I use it again.
We stopped by Hazlitt Winery (with Rayla the dog) to sample some local wines and ciders.
No winery tour would be complete without eating some cheeses and other treats.
I only have footage of Hazlitt, but we sampled product from:
Most of these places are dog-friendly too – which was a nice treat for Rayla.
I am so tired of having to take mounting plates off my camera and screwing new ones on when I need to use different sized tripods.
After looking at a Peak Design video for their newish tripod, I saw how their one mounting plate interchanged with all of their capture systems – and I wondered if I can find a 3rd party adapter so I can use ONE PLATE for all of my tripods.
Spoiler: The answer is yes.
(The key is to find something Arca-Swiss Standard)
Here are links to the products I discussed in the video:
