All Things Joey
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.
Cleaning your camera can sometimes be a little scary (especially the sensor), so I am always looking for tools to make the experience better.
I recently bought a NiteCore tool called the “Blower Baby” (terrible name) and I share my experience with that device, as well as traditional blower bulbs, sensor cleaning sticks, etc.
My Sony A7IV arrived on Christmas Eve and I spent the last 3 weeks learning the settings.
This video addresses customization suggestions as well as minor issues with the camera.
The A7IV is a significant upgrade over the Sony A7C and I hope Sony addresses the battery and (potential) file codec issues.
Note: This video was shot on the Sony A7C with the Sony 35MM 1.8
A quick follow-up on the “Old Canon Lenses” vlog I posted a few weeks ago…
Those over-exposed pictures really bothered me and I realized that the aperture blades in the lens were not moving when I moved the ring.
Canon FD aperture blades will lock at 5.6 if you don’t manually unlock them or make sure you have an adapter that has an unlocking mechanism. The K&F Lens Mount Adapter does have this feature.
Even though I figured out the issue, I am not sure if these manual lenses are for me. But I am learning more.
This video also has detailed instructions on how to unlock Canon FD aperture blades:
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)
