Another great accessory for the a6x00 is the leather half case, which protects the bottom of the camera and provides additional grip. I highly recommend it.
I would move to arca on the plates. Peak-design sells a micro arca plate that is a much better fit on the a6000/a6300/a6500 ( i own all 3 ). This also allows you to attach the v3 ankersfor even better way to carry the combo. Also there is a slide lite that sits between the leash and the full side slide. Lastly i personally am a fan of the 24mmf1.8 zony.
I usually use a long arca plate for tripod work to be able to better balance the camera with heavy lens, PD Micro Plate is also good option. 24mm F1.8 seems to be very usable and compact lens, unfortunately the price is quite high like with all Zeiss branded lenses.
Thanks, yes, I use it mostly with 16-50mm kit lens, because it works seamlessly with power zoom, the sample with yellow flower is actually shot using 2x clearimage zoom and there are more samples in my other videos.
The Hybrid Shooter couldn't tell. On TH-cam, I did not see a difference in quality. Is there any visible drop of the quality or any issues in sharpness In photos with that lens? I have a 19mm 2.8 and did not come across any. Thanks for your answer.
There is no visible difference in image quality when using clearimage zoom, it still uses full 4K resolution, the only difference may be in low light because with clearimage zoom, it crops the sensor so it doesn't use the whole sensor area to capture the light.
Voigtlander are very sharp lenses, but there is great Sigma 30mm F1.4 with autofocus, which may be the sharpest prime lens for APS-C E mount cameras, so I would probably go for that one, but Voigtlander will definitely be fun to use.
Just when I saw your landscape photographs, I was like "Oh my God, I am definitely buying this camera!". How many batteries would you recommend tho? XD *subbed!
People like us who don't have much idea of lenses and camera can get tons on info from your video. I am totally impressed and will go with your recommendation. You nailed it. Keep posting more videos like this
i wish i could give your videos more than 1 thumbs up. really appreciate the thorough reviews and how it you experience using the equipment and your personal opinion of it and the limitations. like to hear both the positives and negatives since that is the reality of most things that are for sale. keep going. more videos are good!
Nice video!! Very informative! So would you recommend turning down the camera with the 18-135mm lens bundle they’re doing over just getting the camera (body only) and buying the 16-55mm lens separately to start off shooting & recording?
Thank you, 18-135 is definitely a superior lens and it is more all-round usable. If you budget allows you to get one in a bundle, I would probably take it.
Have you ever used the a6300 / 6500 and the camera has turned off due to a lack of heat and battery? I ended up doing so yesterday Could not save meta data information of recorded file properly. The recovery system was activated because a new battery was inserted, but it was not recovered. There are files when I look at the files on my PC. The file exists but is not read. I contacted Sony. Sony said there was no way. Do I have to give up this file? I wish you had a way to save just a little bit.
No, that has never happened to me, I'm sorry about your situation. You can try some software for SD card recovery but that is usually intended for SD card failures, other than that, I don't really know :( Thank you for watching and commenting!
I have never had any issues with Panasonic equipment, but there can be some problems on occasion with any brand, but I think that Panasonic is generally OK.
You mention potential issues while using a power bank to power the camera... what issues exactly? I've been buying stuff to be able to use a power bank as an external battery for my Sony, as everything I've seen thus far says it helps with the overheating and makes the camera run longer, of course...
Charging the camera while using it will actually cause overheating. What helps with overheating is using the battery grip and having only the "dummy" battery in camera. I have actually never had any issues with overheating on my A6500.
I'm not talking about charging the battery inside the camera with a power bank while using the camera; I'm talking about not having a battery inside the camera and powering it via usb...
Oh ok. Still, you are the first person I've seen mentioning overheating issues when using a power bank. In fact, people not only refer to it as a way to extend your battery life but as a way to also reduce the overheating precisely because the camera is not being powered from the inside. I'll do the test myself, then.
I have never heard anyone say that charging battery while using it will make it cooler, that makes no sense. The camera is always powered from battery, even when it is being charged by USB.
Nice video. I'm thinking about an adaptor in the future for my a6300. So it sounds like you can use the MC-11 with some non-Sigma lenses? (Only FF, I think you said.) I wasn't sure about that. Is there an advantage to the MC-11 over what Metabones offers (other than price) that you know of? Keep up the great videos. I use a G85 and a6300, so you're videos are great for me.
Yes, you can use MC-11 with most of Canon FF lenses and some third party lenses, functionality depends on specific lens, some work best with metabones, some with MC-11. Biggest advantage of MC-11 is that it provides full functionality with compatible Sigma lenses including face and eye autofocus, also autofocus works great on Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 basically like on native lens.
Tell me please, how do the cameras sony a6500 and g85 write to the memory card a file with a long and continuous record of 40 minutes, 1 hour or more? The file is divided into several files (for example, 30 minutes or 4 GB each) or written in one large file as a whole?
Hi , thanks for the great video ! I would like to know what wide angle lens would you suggest to me with the sony a6300 or a6500 please? And I am planning to go to Hong Kong and may be to China ..planning to buy camera and lenses and some accessories , is there any shops there or places where I can get them please at a cheap price? I can't order online coz in my country we are not allowed to :/ , thanks in advance :)
Thank you, my favorite wide-angle lens for A6500 is Samyang 12mm F2 but it is fully manual lens without autofocus. Unfortunately, overpriced Sony 10-18mm F4 is the only alternative with AF. Regarding shopping in Hong Kong or China, I can't help you with that.
I said that it works great with 18-35 that I enjoy using and also with 50-100, by that I meant that it also works with that lens, not that I own it :( but it is possible that I will get it in near future.
That is problem with every lens, even lenses with internal zoom are shifting the weight backward and forward while zooming. 16-50mm kit lens is so light that it is not a problem, of course you need to balance the gimbal while the lens is extended.
Thanks :) I'm from Austria / Slovakia, but people are often asking me if I'm from Nordic county, so there are probably some similarities in my accent. Thank you for watching!
Super video!!! :) cítil som z tvojej angličtiny, že si slovák alebo čech, a potom pozerám, na jednej fotke v časti kde predstavuješ monitor - humenský kaštieľ :D paráda len tak ďalej, btw, odkiaľ si? :)
Good info but I wish you would list the lens specs overlaid on the video instead of just talking about them. Its gets confusing to follow along. To you it makes perfect sense but to new comer trying to follow along we have to keep stopping , rewinding the video many times .

Excellent explanation
Thank you!
I want to buy DSLR for myself and my requirements of videography and photography ... Please suggest..
1400$ my budget
1:54 actually the 18-35mm f1.8 is an aps-c lens so it should be possible to also use other efs lenses or am i wrong ?
No, Canon EF-S lenses have that extra plastic part in the mount, so it just physically doesn't fit.
I would move to arca on the plates. Peak-design sells a micro arca plate that is a much better fit on the a6000/a6300/a6500 ( i own all 3 ). This also allows you to attach the v3 ankersfor even better way to carry the combo. Also there is a slide lite that sits between the leash and the full side slide.

Good stuff .. have you used extended 2x zoom for a6500 with any of those lenses? Thanks
Thanks, yes, I use it mostly with 16-50mm kit lens, because it works seamlessly with power zoom, the sample with yellow flower is actually shot using 2x clearimage zoom and there are more samples in my other videos.
The Hybrid Shooter couldn't tell. On TH-cam, I did not see a difference in quality. Is there any visible drop of the quality or any issues in sharpness In photos with that lens? I have a 19mm 2.8 and did not come across any. Thanks for your answer.

The Hybrid Shooter thanks. I'm in the hunt for f1.4 manual lenses, thinking of voigtlander 40mm 1.4
Voigtlander are very sharp lenses, but there is great Sigma 30mm F1.4 with autofocus, which may be the sharpest prime lens for APS-C E mount cameras, so I would probably go for that one, but Voigtlander will definitely be fun to use.
What do you think if the sigma 16mm 1.4 for a prime lens?
It is a great lens, here is my review of Sigma 16mm F1.4 bit.ly/sgima16mm
Which Brand Powerbank is better for Sony A6300 ?
I use Xiaomi and I have no issues.
Great video. Sigma MC-11 continuous autofocus (for video) works with canon full frame lenses too?
Thank you, it does in stills but not in video.
Just when I saw your landscape photographs, I was like "Oh my God, I am definitely buying this camera!". How many batteries would you recommend tho? XD *subbed!
Thank you, I appreciate your subscription! I have 4 batteries for A6500 and it is enough for me.
I have a problem using video micpro with sigma 18-35 because the sound of the autofocus it's a bit higher and you can heard in the videos.
Yes, the autofocus with 18-35 is unfortunately quite loud.
Probably getting one of the peak design straps, love the quick pull apart feature, that's what I've been looking for!
Excellent video.
Wich is the best lens for landscapes? thanks
Sigma 16mm F1.4 or Sigma 18-35mm F1.8
Gracias mil. Necesita adaptador para el sigma?

Have you ever used the a6300 / 6500 and the camera has turned off due to a lack of heat and battery?
I ended up doing so yesterday
Could not save meta data information of recorded file properly.
The recovery system was activated because a new battery was inserted, but it was not recovered.
There are files when I look at the files on my PC.
The file exists but is not read.
I contacted Sony.
Sony said there was no way.
Do I have to give up this file?
I wish you had a way to save just a little bit.
No, that has never happened to me, I'm sorry about your situation.
You can try some software for SD card recovery but that is usually intended for SD card failures, other than that, I don't really know :(

Thank you!
Hey is G85 or g7 any good for Youtubing?
Yes, both are very good cameras for TH-cam, this video was also shot on G85.
Oh thanks ! one more question , i have heard quality control issues with these cameras are they really the case for you ?
I have never had any issues with Panasonic equipment, but there can be some problems on occasion with any brand, but I think that Panasonic is generally OK.
Hi, what is the brand of your camera strap, kinda comfortable to use.
I found it
You mention potential issues while using a power bank to power the camera... what issues exactly?

Great list. I love that you include monitor ind your list!
Thank you!
what your adjust soft name ?
If you mean software that I use for editing, I use Adobe Premiere Pro for video and Adobe Lightroom for stills.
Nice video. I'm thinking about an adaptor in the future for my a6300. So it sounds like you can use the MC-11 with some non-Sigma lenses? (Only FF, I think you said.) I wasn't sure about that.

A6500 withe one continuous file when you remove recording limit, regarding G85, I don't know, I only have G80 with recording limit.
Great channel, a lot of potential. Good work
+Yegor Vitko Thank you!
What about the sony sel 18-55mm? any comparasion to the 16-50?
Unfortunately no, I have never used it.
okay. tnx for the quick reply
Which lens/lenses did you take to Bali out of curiosity?
Just 16-50mm kit lens and Sigma 19mm 2.8 Art Series, I have also made video about my Bali setup: th-cam.com/video/6cqQDZXovIU/w-d-xo.html
Hi , thanks for the great video ! I would like to know what wide angle lens would you suggest to me with the sony a6300 or a6500 please? And I am planning to go to Hong Kong and may be to China ..planning to buy camera and lenses and some accessories , is there any shops there or places where I can get them please at a cheap price? I can't order online coz in my country we are not allowed to :/ , thanks in advance :)

Oh thnaks again dear friend :)
You're welcome!
pleasee make a video about the performance of the 50-100 f1.8!!
Unfortunately, I don't have that lens, sorry about that. Hopefully in the future.
The Hybrid Shooter but you say you enjoy using it and show it in 1:50 🤔
I said that it works great with 18-35 that I enjoy using and also with 50-100, by that I meant that it also works with that lens, not that I own it :( but it is possible that I will get it in near future.
that would be awesome! if you do, please please do a vid about it!
I just got a sony a6500:D I want to use it for unboxing videos any advice?
My advice for A6500 is in this video th-cam.com/video/PHkEQQtJxgQ/w-d-xo.html and also in this one: th-cam.com/video/e3L0IRiAwFM/w-d-xo.html
the problem with most kit lens is that they dont work well with gimbals as the lens can extend forward/backward.
That is problem with every lens, even lenses with internal zoom are shifting the weight backward and forward while zooming. 16-50mm kit lens is so light that it is not a problem, of course you need to balance the gimbal while the lens is extended.
which sd card do you recommend?
SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-I amzn.to/2pnCy3o
Are you Norwegian by any chance? I like your videos man ! You have a calming voice !
Thanks :) I'm from Austria / Slovakia, but people are often asking me if I'm from Nordic county, so there are probably some similarities in my accent. Thank you for watching!
I got on my a6500 the sigma and adaptor after watching your videos and I absolutelly love it !
Glad to hear that!
Heißt das, du sprichst deutsch? :)
Ja, ich spreche Deutsch.
Well Don, I will be definitely keeping an eye out for your videos.
Thank you!
Super video!!! :) cítil som z tvojej angličtiny, že si slovák alebo čech, a potom pozerám, na jednej fotke v časti kde predstavuješ monitor - humenský kaštieľ :D paráda len tak ďalej, btw, odkiaľ si? :)
Ďakujem pekne, som z Pezinka.
I am simple man , i see Indonesia culture , i press subscribe
Thank you, hopefully I will visit Indonesia again this year to shoot more content there.
great video!! thanks
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
How do color grade ur videos?

Among all cameras, Sony is the most expensive lenses out there.. 😥
Like!
Thank you!
how do you afford all this?
By running my own business.
Debt.
What?
@@TheHybridShooter you still recommend the a6500, for videography?
I do, although with improved AF, Panasonic GH5 may be more pragmatic option.
Why u need sigma 19 when u have 18-35
Because it is much smaller I don't want to carry that 18-35mm all the time.
Werdha Prasidha Wangsa yeah that 18 35 is like bringing a mini tank
have fun in bali ?
+kris mawan of course, it is really nice place.
Iam from bali
Beautiful place.
