I traveled to Anaheim to speak at Podcast Movement 2017. This is the vlog and this is the Kit I used to film it kit.co/rayortega/sony-a6500-vlogging.
I hosted a panel on podcast RSS feeds along with Daniel J. Lewis, Dave Jackson, and Addy Saucedo. We went over each tag in a feed as it relates to podcasting and covered the new Apple tags coming at the end of 2017. You can see how each tag translates here podcastersroundtable.com/pm17.

While at PM17, I brought my Sony a6500 and took it everywhere. When I go to podcast conferences, it's basically one big family reunion, seeing people I talk to all year on social and work with in podcasting. It was a lot of fun to capture their first reactions as I walked up to them with my vlogging rig.
The gear I used is not optimized for vlogging. The a6500 does not have a flip screen and I wasn't using a wide enough lens but when you know your limitations, you can do a lot to overcome them. I'm still happy with the results achieved and the a6500 impresses in low-light.
Here's how I setup the a6500 (all gear linked below)
• Movie Mode
• 1080, 25p and 60p
• Shutter Priority set between 1/50 - 1/100
• Sony 28mm F2
• Auto White Balance
• Image stabilization enabled
• Auto ISO
• Aperture is set automatically based on shutter speed
• Having an f2 lens was great in low-light & I'm impressed with the image even at f2
• Auto-focus: Continuous
• Focus mode: Zone (middle-top)
• PP7 Slog-2
• Exposure comp +1.5
• Rode VideoMic Pro
• Audio level: 15 with Rode VideoMic Pro set to: 0
• Manfrotto Pixi
• SmallRig cage for the a6500
