Another great vid. I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate your content. I only took up photography and videography over the last 3 months or so and I have learned so much from you. Even the purchases I have made in terms of lenses and accessories following my purchase of the ZV-E10, have been made simpler (through being informed by your videos) than they would otherwise have been, for someone like me who is just getting started. Thank you Mark.

Awesome to see a Sony shooter share his knowledge and love with the people! Better is a good name than great riches!

I wish I had room for a studio. Unfortunately I don't at the moment. I have a small room but it's so full of tut I would be ashamed to show it on a video. Nearly everything I produce is filmed outside in my garden near my pond. You'll see what I mean on the video I'm putting out on Saturday. It's going to be one of the rare video's that I use the ZV-E10 to record with the Sigma 16 1.4. I thought that was a better choice than my Osmo Action 1 to demonstrate the new Ulanzi U Mic AM18 wireless mic. I blame you for all of it Mark as I bought the ZV-E10 and Sigma lens after watching your videos and I was also introduced to Ulanzi by you. Your videos cost me a fortune lol

Just picked up a ZV E1 yesterday and I could not be happier felt like a logical upgrade from the zvE10. And now I'm just a full frame family and all my lenses will just work with each other as I grow my collection

Fellow KZfaqr here. Love your channel Mark. Picked up a Sony ZV-E10 as a result of your work. Kudos and keep them coming!

Color Checker for me is a must accessory

What’s a KZfaq set up without a little bit of TikTok’n and booty poppin!!! Great video 🔥🔥

Well this is fun. I used the Anton 60 as a COB light and a little Newer flat led light for backlight. Then a couple of Govee pole lights frame at bookshelves with hiking gear/cameras displayed. My ZV-E10 with the Sigma 60mm lens rounds out the day. My mic is a Samson Q9U XLR on a boom arm and powered by the Elgato Wave XLR. Man, I sound like a geek! Never thought I’d know this stuff 😂. Anyway, many of these things I got by watching your content. So, thanks (I think😂).

I'm glad I have most of the necessary things and things you've mentioned, I think lights and knowledge are the basics for a good look, and those led tubes do be looking tempting

Hey Mark, excellent video! Please also mention how you treated your room for acoustics. Even with a good mic setup you still have to treat the room in some way.

Thank you again Mark! Still haven't found something better than the ZVE-10/Sigma16 combo you recommended when I purchased this camera. It's an EXCELLENT B-Cam to my A7IV. Thanks for all your videos. Always great info!

I love you Man! Your content helps hundreds of beginners.. This video combines long hours of learning time, and you just made it in less than 12min. Keep it up Brooo!!! 🎉

*For My Key Light I do use the Amaran 60D with a Soft Box and a Elgato Keylight Air I use to reflect off the wall, and I also have a Elgato Keylight Mini and (2) Lume cube Mini LEDs. But I also have a FX30 but Going to get the ZV-E10 Body only also*

Have had the zv-e10 for a bit over a week now, and I'm impressed. I'm coming from phone cameras and a dji pocket, which well... this camera obliterates with any lens lol. Also bought a dji rs3 mini, zeiss touit 32mm 1.8 and a sigma 56mm 1.4 and also got the kit lens. Looking at pictures taken with my s23u and comparing them to the pictures taken with the zv-e10 makes me think how I ever even thought my phone's camera is any good in non-perfect lighting situations😅. Don't even get me started with video quality lol Really happy with it! Especially the sigma 56mm is awesome!!

Forgot to drop a comment. These are great tips as usual. Also, I could have missed the $200 off the FX30 info 😂😂.

Another budget lighting option: sunlight and get a decent curtain to soft it Bought zv-e10 after watching you videos, but i mainly use it for travel and everyday casual shot.

😄😄 На днях впервые в жизни в живую видел танцовщиц хлопающих ягодицами. Это было на авто тюнинг шоу. Сейчас как раз монтирую видео

Great content, very helpful and informative. Great sense of humor, Mark. Can you share the settings you use for the Sony ZV-E10 to achieve the video quality? I am planning to purchase that camera this week and I know the settings are very important. Thanks for your upcoming reply.

Sony ZEV10 levitating 😂 awesome video man, thanks!

Can you review sony 18-105mm lens please?

For bedroom producers who don't even use the word 'budget", cos there aint one, and their entire "studio" is the mess which they have on their desk, including computers, monitors, audio equipment, video equipment, gaming equipment, some other setup not related to any equipment, and/or any other thing which may or may not be setup in the future but probably won't be cos it's the bedrooom - I recommend using a TV/PC screen as your external monitor. Most TVs have 3-4 HDMI ports so that's easy for direct connection; it is big so you can actually see yourself not being in focus; you can run teleprompter/bullet point list on it (behind the camera) for what you're babbling about in case you lose the plot after 15th take cos you keep saying "footchegesh" instead of "footages"; AND as a byproduct of being turned-on it works as a fill-in light; AND another and - if you use multiple PC screens you may use one as a color fill of your choice (I think Caleb from DSLR Shooter did a vid on that). Yeah. Footchegesh, footchegesh. 😜

Soooon. 50K. Thank you Mark for great info all the time.

Currently using a falcon eyes LED panel instead of a softbox (is there usually a major difference), reflector as the fill light, and an old ring light as the kick light! Also have an all-in-one stand that holds the camera, mic, and LED panel.

Excellent vid Mark

Hey Mark, thank you for this excellent video/roomtour. Can we hope for a review of the upcoming DJI Pocket 3 which will be released next week? :)

Fantastic tips!

Hello mark, thank you for making this video. You can make videos about the functions and how a studo works. Like in terms of operations, how to make income, how to produce videos or projects, how to get projects or clients... I mean in terms of business and how to operate. Although there are professional secrets. But I hope you share some of it. There are many people who make studios and buy equipment. But I don't know how to operate and what I can do to earn income. Not everyone can invest in a studio and make KZfaq successful... like you. Looking forward to seeing your videos about the studio and life around this studio. Wishing you a peaceful day.

I’m such a big fan of the zv-e10 but I hope that Sony starts making cameras with better stabilization. I’d love to be able to ditch the gimble if the stabilization would allow it.

Thanks for your videos. I went in to the aputure amaran website, you know thinking I could just understand easily the classification...this consumer, thi prosumer, this pro...I got such shock when I saw the amount of different products they have that I still am looking for my jaw (think the dog got it to play with). If video/photo products are a jungle, lights are the amazon rainforest. We poor mortals look forward an explanation to start understanding where we are in regards to lights

Great video Mark! I am loving the UL60 but I need to get a soft box for sure. I have some LED lights around the room, a light stick and a lit letterbox. I’m slowing getting there. Thanks for the tips.

The one problem with cheap tube lights is they create banding on walls if turned towards them. Especially visible on 8-bit cameras. Otherwise, great video!

Thank you!!! Your videos are really amazing on every level!!! I am saving up to buy equipment but when I finally buy everything, I will use your links!!! :)

@1:33 I really thought you are standing up in all your videos .until now I saw the back of the chair

i bought a pair of Godox ES45 lights, one to use as a keylight for sure. It works pretty good but I am having trouble trying to find a softbox with a grid for it. Super bright led pannels. come with extendable mounts. nice price ad well. Also found a 17-70mm 2.4 Tamron lens which is essentially the same focal length but smaller apature. Still gives me good background separation. on the fence about tripods. i have a joby tripod that essentially matches my 3k gorillapod mount . but the arcaswiss is reallt the way to go. Looking for a nice set of arca ball heads for my current tripod and any future teipod

Just what I wanted. I have got this camera. Many thanks.

Thanks Mark👍

Great Video! Mark!

Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it.

thanks for the helpful videos. you must be using a ND filter when shooting at f1.4, surely, to prevent over-exposure? i have a similar lens, but can never shoot wide open for that reason.

Nice Video Mark. You have really helped me in my KZfaq journey from camera set up microphones and lighting. I think my little Dougie is a perfect camera for KZfaq. Pair it with the Sigma 16mm is perfect, as you said. I have more money invested in sound with Shure SM7B and MKE-600 and a recorder X8. After you have a camera like this Sony ZVE 10 you need or will want better sound. Thanks for all your help.

i was waiting for this kind of video for a long time. 😊😊

You do a great job on your videos Mark, good info on this one!

I have seen your videos ! I have a Sony z v e10. Obviously It's a great camera! But now I want to buy an action camera! Which one will be better for me between GoPro and dji!? pls make videos on action cameras!

Thank you!

Can we take a moment to appreciate this guys humor

I am about to start with a ZV-E10 and was convinced to buy the Sigma 16mm 1.4. You actually confirmed my decision. However, the Viltrox 20mm you recommended in another videos looks great as well and is probably a better value. I guess, the 500 Dollar for the 17mm Viltrox is not more value compared to the Sigma lense. Would you go for the sigma or the viltrox lense for a starter? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work. Really enjoy the mix of great information and entertainment!

👍X100....thanks for the great info and your sense of humour...both much appreciated.

Thank you sooo much. This is the video I needed!

Hi Mark! thanks for this great video. there's a question. what do you think of Pocket 3 as main camera instead of Zve 10?

Great vid. But yeh you're right skincare, plastic surgery and no wrinkles are hard to buy!

I see that you always recommend that 16mm sigma lense with the e10. I'm just starting out and need to photograph and video some small products I'm making. Any recommendations for a lense for product photography?

What makes you use the vlogging CV E10 over a 6400 a 6600 or even the 6700? I asked because the E10 doesn't have a mechanical shutter it doesn't have a viewfinder and it's not weather sealed so you can't really use it outside in the elements or if something is moving really fast so I just wanted to know your opinion on why you chose this vlogging camera over a better options? Cool video too

We want to see videos on plastic surgery, how tos and what to avoid - there’s no way a camera can make you look that good

It’s funny how I spend so much on buying camera bodies(and selling them to try others) but I won’t invest in lighting other than an Amazon ring light. I think I like playing with cameras more than producing content.

hello Mark, great video again! One question, if you have the space will it be better to have a Sigma 30mm 1.4 on your Doug?

Mark, do you have any suggestions on one of those horizontal poles that you can mount lights and microphones from? Looks like there is one called the Impact Varipole. But curious if there’s anything out there I should be looking at!

have you checked out the difference in sound quality recording between the zv-e10 and the ninja v?

Nice work ❤

First like, then watch 😉🔥🔝

Can it actually underheat? 😝😝😝. Sooner or later I’ll get myself an fx30! Cool vid Mark! As usual 💪🏻

Explain about green and blue screen backgrounds and it's lighting brother, i need to set it up in very low budget plz help me to do

Can you do a comparison between sigma 16mm 1.4 and the new sigma 10-18mm 2.8? I'm curious on how they perform on low light against each other.

I wasn't clear what the tube lights are for. You have 3 point lighting and you've lit your background with and LED panel. What do the tube lights do?

any tips for smallest lightest light with "soft" attachment? I have the 60D, but with soft box was too heavy for my boom-arm

Hey Mark how are overheating times on Sony a7c ii 4k60?4k30 thoughts vs lumix s5 ii an variant? Much appreciate your work btw!!! You make things easier for all of us!

Hello Mark, love your channel and content, I have recently upgraded to the FX30, thank you for all the videos you put out on camera comparisons I am looking at getting a full frame hybrid and am torn between the A74 OR the A7C2 I do very little work outside my own channel shooting, which one would you recommend?

Ever since I got my ZV-E1 I stopped using an external monitor (was on Fuji before), the iPad Mini connects very quickly and works as a fantastic monitor and also gives you control and things like clear image zoom, white balance, etc, it's really fantastic. Does that also work on the ZV-E10 or is that a an E1 exclusive?

I’ve heard the HD quality is not so great with the ZV-E10. Would you recommend another camera for HD?

I’m setting up a studio right now, got the smallrig RC120B on ur recommendation. But still doubting with the mics. Already got DJI mics but I want a condensator mic but I don’t want to run long 3.5mm cable since that pick ups interference. So I’m more thing of XLR condens mic, but what module should I use to be able to connect 2 XLR mics and get a 3.5mm output for my dougie?

Hey Mark, Melissa here - removed my last name (more security stuff) - just wanted to let you know the S-Log 3 grading vid link isn't there. I already watched that one, too, just thought you might wanna know. Thanks for the videos! Love my ZV-E10, just took some fun photos at my nephew's wedding.

Sorry but of your subject but do you find generic lenses as good as brands like Sony, Nikon etc? Back in the day non digital (film) cameras they weren't from my experience. Thx!!!😊

What to buy sigma 16 1.4 or Sony 15 1.4 or viltrox 13 mm ?))) pls help

HI MARK, DO YOU EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE EYE STRAIN AFTER USING SONY A7IV ? MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES AND CLIENTS HAVE SAID THAT THEY EXPERIENCE A LOT OF EYE STRAIN AFTER USING OR WATCHING VIDEOS SHOT WITH CAMERAS LIKE A7IV, A7C,etc. THEY ALSO COMPLAIN ABOUT SWOLLEN AND PUFFY EYES DUE TO THE EYE STRAIN CAUSED BY THESE CAMERAS. ANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCE? CAN SONY ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IF IT EXISTS?

Hi Mark. I'm looking for a recommendation for an affordable and small overhead soft light for doing B-roll. Anything you can suggest under $150?

Niceeeeee🇳🇬

Hey Mark, I've been considering getting a monitor with buttons on the outside, because 9 months out of the year it is VERY cold where I live, so I'd be wearing gloves. I've looked at the Feelworld F5 Pro but don't feel very comfortable with it, and have been thinking about the Viltrox DC-550 Pro monitor, but not a lot of reviews of it exist on the Internet. Do you have an opinion for a monitor with buttons?

I totally disagree. With 16mm you have to clean up too much of your room. Get a 56mm and keep your mess like it is. 🎉

Whenever I watch your videos my wife hides my credit card...

Hey how can I look handsome like you

Hey Mark. Sorry, how large are your (2) feet? 🤔

So what do you do when your bald and all the lights make your head glare…?
