Still miss your weekly vlogs. They were so great and authentic and showed how fantastic you are, in ways that those professional videos just don’t. You are great and wonderful on those too, obviously, but it’s the difference between learning from you and hanging out with you. And I miss hanging out with you, if that makes sense.
Recently had open heart surgery and was told that I wouldn't be able to lift my usual Sony gear. Picked up a Fujifilm X-T5 and have been loving it so far! Have also picked up a roller bag for the same reason - a Lowepro Pro Trekker RLX 450 AW II (My usual bag is a Compagnon Element Backpack 30L).
Ohhh that sounds terrible (and fun, wrt to the Fujifilm 😂). I hope you're doing okay! I just picked up the X-S20 just because I wanted a smaller package, and while I love it, the auto focus is sooo much worse. Still using and loving it though!
You picked a great spot in the studio for your A-roll. I love the way the lighting hits your face and hair, so I'm slightly disappointed that the space was just a rental.
I feel you on this. I think I need to do the same. So much gear that I just don't use anymore. Like my travel Crane. Lol. Hope you're doing well, Lizzie!
Nice video! As an owner of a few A7Siii's, I was interested in the FX3 too. Instead, I went with the FX30 with the audio handle and use handle on my A7Siii. Small Rig has a cage and plate that secures the handle on the A7Siii. It's an option and personally, I am very pleased with it.
I do miss the weekly vlogs y'all among a few others actually inspired me to make a vlog or two even if I don't post them anywhere I like it just so I have a small video to look at when I'm old lol
Hmmmm the ECM-M1, and majority of the Sony shotgun mics have shock mount sound issues. They get looser over time causing any movement to hit the side panels of the shock mount. (Kara and Nate figured out that if you use the Sony ECM-GZM1 you mostly avoid all those issues) I’m testing that mic now too. An auto only mic is apparently more valuable than a mic that just makes endless useless knocking sound audio. Pierre lambert apparently puts a rubber band where the shock mount is to lessen the knocking sounds when recording.
FWIW, and to give another side of the story, I've had the ECM-B1M and 2 years. And while I heard some people complain about these in the past, I never had any issues with it. Absolute work horse, with zero sound or or mount issues. Probably subject to what you shoot with it and how it is handled.
@@TechWandererYT it’s widespread and a well known problem. I just tested a brand new ECM-g1 today and you can hear the knocking sounds if you walk, talk vlogging to camera. I guess if you just stay stationary everytime you want to talk to camera. That’s how you prevent knocking sounds.
I had the first Nomatic Peter McKinnon Bag (35L), the zippers broke through 2 bags and I switched to Wandrd and now have 11 different bags, ALL made by Wandrd and NONE of them have broke and are lighter, just a suggestion to check out
Lizzy, in case you're reading this: I heard mentorship. Would love to learn a few things from you, especially on the business deal side of things. Will you cover that, and what's the ETA of that? Thank you so much and happy to see you're regularly making videos again.
I'm going to start teasing it with a waitlist May 1st! I'll be sharing here but just in case follow me on instagram or subscribe to my email list www.lizziepeirce.com to make sure you get notified! There will only be 10 spots. It will be focused on growing your creative business!
Love the lighting in this video, and the ball head on the tripod is enough to jave me looking for the link. a7c has kinda been on the radar for me since you first posted about it a while ago, I shoot an old a7 and an adapted lens mule but it really isn't a great or at least inspiring camera for video, and the a7s3 is a bit out of reach given it's not the business I am in, so it would be more of a selfish toy. I like the idea of letting stuff go, I have a Tone of film cameras that I have loved for a very long time but I feel like the time is ripe to let them find new life in other people's journey. I enjoy these transition videos when people upgrade or change their gear, it's not so much about the new gear or the purging of old , as it is the exciting promise of new beginnings and the sence of motivation I know I get when I feel more organized and less cluttered, and most deffinitly inspired to use new tools. Well sometimes old tools too, when they are new to me.
*Me as a Solo Creator Myself have done some gear cleaning myself but Yeah one can get carried away with TOO much gear and forgetting I have it, but for me I'm more Video then Photo but I got rid of My ZV-1 in favor for the ZV-E10 & My Main Camera is My FX30 because it's My First Cinema Camera and I just LOVE the Colors and the Videos out of this is AWESOME and I have a Dji Osmo Action4 and just got the dji mic 2 transmitter so I'm lookin forward to trying it out in the next few days. But I also ditched my Rode Wireless 1 & 2 Mics in favor of the Hollyland Lark M1 & Lark Max; and I started used iFootage Products specifically the Monopod and got my first fluid head from iFootage the K5 along with the iFootage cobra 3 base and this all works AMAZINGLY on my desk and just flows. But this is a Pretty awesome Video & a vlog or 2 would be interesting*
Sold all my gear bought a A7RV going to get the fx30 and debating on fujifilm x100v for street oh and i really want the new sigma nifty 50. Wonder what i can sell for that lol. Great video
Let us know what you think of the Nanlite pavo slim. Thinking about them for product and head shots. Would you ever upgrade to the Sony a7rv? Have never found a camera bag I really like. Thanks for the video.
Will do. I'm going to make a video about the pavo slims very soon. Not sure if I will in the near future but I really did love the rv just can't justify it right now. Thanks for watching!
I have to say the killer feature for me with the Apple Watch, is the security ease, like unlocking iPhone and computer Touch ID… Tracking is obviously useful, but it’s not the reason when getting up I automatically put on my watch… (Also payment, especially when masked which I do when necessary)
So she “upgraded” to the lower tier m3 when she had a solid m2? Don’t think she knew about how they tricked people with the m3 she got, which was the old 13inch m chip MacBook Pro.
Mentorship?? Im currently a Journalist student becoming a MMJ, currently a junior. I am looking for mentorship due to photo classing being hard to get.. Do you use skill share or offer classes?
Yep I will be offering a mentorship program soon! It will mostly be for those looking to take the next step in their creative business. You're interested in private mentorship for photography tutoring? Shoot me an email its.lizziepeirce@gmail.com
Your Switzerland vids felt kind of vlog style and those were SO well done! If you want to vlog I know they would come out great, if not what you’re doing now is great too! One more piece of gear.. what do you think of a teleprompter?? Or is it not necessary and you just get good at saying what you wanna say to the camera over the years?
Thanks for the feedback on the switzerland vlogs! I did get a teleprompter actually and it has been helpful but it is hard to read without sounding like you're reading. takes practice!
Guys, you don't really need a new camera. Focus on telling stories properly instead of dumping more money on useless gear. Unless you're getting more money from investing in a new camera, you clearly don't need to swap cameras every 2 years.
we love a bit of spring cleaning
First?!
Can i have some stuff you nolonger need, affording any of the equipment you mentioned above is a struggle from this part of the world 😢
I think you might have some chapters left over from a previous video upload template
Are yu going to upgrade networking? (wifi 7)

Agreed, the talking heads just feel like forced content. It’s good quality but feels like this same topic could have been more dynamic and engaging.
Thanks for the feedback! Looks like I gotta hop back on the vlog train.
@@LizziePeirce You are the best vlogger on TH-cam. Including Casey. Your vlogs were just such a delight.
Are any of those old Items you sold still available??
Keep coming back to your video @lizziepeirce .... love this set and your lighting is 🙌🏼😍!!!
Recently had open heart surgery and was told that I wouldn't be able to lift my usual Sony gear. Picked up a Fujifilm X-T5 and have been loving it so far!

Oh my glad you're ok! I'll look into the bag. Mine just bit the dust.
get rid of roller bag! Less is better! Carrying weights are dangerous! I use tiny cameras! Stay well!
I also use my a7siii for my travel camera and I 100% agree that 12mp stills is good enough for social media.
There was a time when I first switched from film to digital that 6mp was enough 😂
You picked a great spot in the studio for your A-roll. I love the way the lighting hits your face and hair, so I'm slightly disappointed that the space was just a rental.
Sometimes we just need to give up gear and either go for smaller and lighter, or just do without! I need to do the same too.
I feel you on this. I think I need to do the same. So much gear that I just don't use anymore. Like my travel Crane. Lol. Hope you're doing well, Lizzie!
Nice to have a cleanup, enjoy watching your work, from over the pond in the UK 🇬🇧 👏😎👏
+1 for the A7C II 🔥 Lizzie!! finally upgraded from my old a6000 to the A7C II w/24-70mmf2.8 GM II wOw just wOw 🤯

@@LizziePeirce I’m glad I could make your day. ☺️
I really enjoyed your vlogs in the past. It would be great to see more.
Nice video, I hope the home move went well. I shoot video with the Sony FX3 and it sure is an amazing compact camera. It takes great photos too.
Thank you!
Watching you a long time Liz. Thought I'd subscribe today. Hoping to start my real channel this month. Keep shooting. Love you.
Thank youu!! Good luck!

I do not always stay stationary, but I'm also not running marathons. Use case dependent I guess.
haven't noticed yet but we'll find out!
That ECM mic is SO good
Thank you!
loved the TUK TUK TUK, to talk about squarespace and subscribe

Great vid... The FX3 is just... I mean I love mine! Cheers to the Post Article. Break 🎥📸legs in 2024
gracias
Great video.
Maybe try the Nikon Zf of you're interested in Retro.
You do you ❤ vlog or not, whatever makes you feel good
you might wait and consider 24- 70 f2 GM. It is coming this year I think.
Totally agree with you! So many bad design decisions. I love BM and want a cube camera from them but this ain’t it
Do you still have some camera gear for sale?

Love to see you do this gives me abit of modivation😄
@LizziePierce is gonna be fuming when she sees the Sony 24-70mm f2.0 GM release video this year xD
Hi Lizzy!

Amazing!!
Lizzie what up!!!
Happy gear cleaning.
Thank yewww

You should only vlog if YOU want it. There will always be an audience, you've got so much experience, do cool things so people will watch.
Revitalize vlogging! 🎉
LOLL I've give most of it away already and some I'm selling
loved that video!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is painful… 😅😅😅 I just got the Max mini mínimum specs with credit so i can edit … I need more work
I vote for more vlogs 😁 🎉 🙏

I think Senheiser MKE400 is better that Sony Mikes.
Interesting! Haven't looked into it.
@@LizziePeirce I recently purchased and started using it , its so good 😀
I really can't concentrate. I tried!
Go for it, vlog again
get the x100VI
Came here for the tips. Ended up looking down your shirt the whole time. Still picked up some tips though.
Anaheim?!
Spring cleaning 😂 That’s the issue with G.A.S. And you’re evolving as a creative so it makes sense.
vlog please
btw would love to see you in Kenya sometime
Your Switzerland vids felt kind of vlog style and those were SO well done! If you want to vlog I know they would come out great, if not what you’re doing now is great too!
One more piece of gear.. what do you think of a teleprompter?? Or is it not necessary and you just get good at saying what you wanna say to the camera over the years?
Thanks for the feedback on the switzerland vlogs! I did get a teleprompter actually and it has been helpful but it is hard to read without sounding like you're reading. takes practice!
I'm shocked they even make an M3 Pro with 8gb of RAM, that's not enough in 2024.
They dont, its a M3. The M3 Pro starts with 18GB.
Give me that gear!
reach out to Nomatic! They are amazing guys!
on. itttt
We want a vlog, we want a vlog! lol
oh boy here we go again ahahha
Get an A9iii
i need a higher credit card limit
