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!

A Gross Hotel Story

I recently found myself traveling for business (again) and didn’t have a great experience at a hotel.

Sometimes you just need to roll with punches and get over minor grime issues when traveling, I just thought it was a funny story.

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.

Unlock a Better Shave with a Safety Razor!

After my review of the Panasonic Arc5, several commentors suggested I give a safety razor a try. I figured I didn’t have anything to lose.

While the safety razor does have some challenges (fair warning, I do bleed a bit in this video), I have had less in-grown and other bumps on my face.

I went hard on the Viking line of shaving products, no particular reason, maybe better search optimization on Amazon? (LOL).

I am very grateful for the suggestions on the previous video, thanks for the recommendations!
