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.

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.

Japanese Snack Box – Green Theme!

We are still behind in our Bokksu Japanese Snack Box reviews, but this particular box is “Green Themed” (or Midori in Japanese).

The box brought many matcha flavored items which did not impress Ben or Allison, but there were a few items that they really liked.
