I purchased the Neewer 18MM adapter for the Sony ZV-1 last month.
At first I wasn’t sure if the adapter made the lens 6MM wider, but after a few tests… it really does work as advertised!
Check out the video to see the differences.

It happens to be on sale today for $55 – and I am not getting paid or any kickbacks for that!
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
I purchased the Tamron 17-28MM F2.8 wide angle lens on Black Friday 2021. I have been using the lens for the last 3 months to get a feel for it.
In October 2020, I purchased the Sony 16-35MM F4 lens (on ebay for $700) and have used this lens for most of my YouTube videos for the last 18 months.
This video discusses the differences and benefits of each lens and I share my thoughts on what is the better buy in 2022.
Note: The Sony 16-35MM currently retails for $1348 new.
I recently purchased the Sony ECM-W2BT wireless microphone system to increase the flexibility of my travel kit.
After noticing a hissing sound in other Sony “hot shoe” microphones, I tested this system to find the best combination of options.
Due to these tests, this video went long – here are links to the other microphones I reference in this review:
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
