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!
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.
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.

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.
After accidently leaving my drone at home for a family vacation, I decided a needed a camera bag just big enough to hold a camera, 2 lenses, and all of the drone equipment…
Enter the PGYTECH OneMo – a 25L bag that can fit all of the film equipment I need with the smallest footprint possible.
