Try disabling stabilization completely and load the fotage in Catalyst Browse (free, from Sony) which can stabilize it as much as you need (allows much more fine-tuning regarding the crop vs stabilization than the active stabilization built in the camera) using gyro data from the zv-e10 - gyro data is where zv shines vs a6400. I also feel it improves rolling shutter ☺️

Some of the shots there were shot on a gimbal, and the lens was epic for that. Super smooth, didn't really have to do any warp stabilization

this is my humble request to all content creators using latest sony mirrorless cameras to disable the EYE PRIORITY in autofocus feature of their cameras at least in video mode. the EYE DETECT feature undoubtedly gives perception of better looking video but because sony's EYE AUTOFOCUS is so powerful and that coupled with modern lenses at wider aperture results in a video that has a very small portion of the screen that is highly in focus. this obviously looks impressive f0r stlls but when it comes t0 vide0, and especially when the subject is m0vng, it bec0mes strainful on eyes of the viewer to watch.

love the ultrawide but a little shaky, most viewers will say it's unwatchable.
nice review man loved it

[jensengeev]

Good Lord, that’s the color straight out of camera? Looks amazing.

[randomguy]

You're really underrated by the way. Keep up the great effort 😃👍

[jasonchng]

Great video! Would the stabilisation/cropping issue be a factor if I buy it for my a6700? Also just wondering if this can be used to get close up shots for food (even though that's not the intended use case). Thanks!!

[HobbiesHire]

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

I would say 16-50mm is still the king of vlogging for these apsc cams. It's so sad that sony doesn't want to give us a proper wide angle lens, just for this reason I may need to upgrade from my A6600, it's such a beautiful camera 🥹

[Burzcasts]

You need a gimbal with this lens and camera for video. No two ways around it.

Using Active stabilization has no meaning might as well use the OSS kit lens @ 16mm. And Catalyst Browse extra processing required plus crops in too.

Which picture profile and settings you use, the footage look excellent.

[MoosaMughal.]

what lens you are using now for your talking head video in general. and for same video should i go with this sony11mm or sigma 16mm

[andybelii]

Hello! What main camera in this video? A7iv? What leans use in studio ?))

[Larkintv]

I like colors on your video, using some
LUT?

[PastorGreads]

Were you using an ND while shooting this video?

[SAINTNIKOLAS_]

Yeah imma pair it with a tripod / selfie stick to get some of the distance back with the active stabilization

[philipcook]

HI thanks for the review of the 11mm. You know I actually prefer looking at the active punched in look. You look more engaging. The active off makes you face look way to small in relation the the size of the frame and what gets your attention is the large part of your forearm holding onto the camera.

I just subscribed. I have the ZV-E10 and I am using the Crane M3 gimble and just bought this lens a few hours ago excited to get this setup going. I will keep watching your content. Amazing scenes in his video ... I appreciate the time you took to make this video. I know it takes time to edit all of this to make a good video like this. --chris

I think it's time to use again the Sony Aps-c cameras! Loved this video mate, cheers!

[dougmorato]

That active stabilization is indeed a joke. Crops a lot and it’s not even that stable. Sony really needs to take their things more seriously. At least they offer a post stabilization option though. Nice video!
