One Year Later - Sony 24-50mm f/2.8 G Review – Why I Almost Sold It Julian C 2025-08-18 | I’ve spent nearly a year with the Sony 24-50mm f/2.8 G lens, and in this video I share my honest thoughts. I originally bought it to pair with my Sony A7CR as a lighter alternative to the Sony 24-70mm GM II and 16-35mm GM lenses for travel and vacation photography.In this review, I cover:Why I bought the 24-50mm f/2.8 G in the first placeHow it compares to the Sony GM zooms (24-70mm GM II in particular)Image quality, autofocus performance, build, and handlingWhat surprised me most about using it on the Sony A7CR vs the A7RivWhether I think it’s worth buying in 2025The Sony 24-50mm f/2.8 G is compact, sharp, and much lighter than GM zooms — but does that make it the best travel lens for Sony shooters? Or should you still stick with the 24-70mm GM II?At the end I'll give my verdict and whether I’d recommend this lens for your kit.📸 Gear mentioned in this video:Sony 24-50mm f/2.8 G → amzn.to/4fKZtgWSony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II → amzn.to/4fCFCAiSony A7CR → amzn.to/4fJyeU7Sony A7Riv → amzn.to/4fQJmhR

Traveling light with DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro Julian C 2025-01-04 | I am a huge fan of the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, but there are some situations where Pocket 3 is not a suitable camera. On those trips, I take a GoPro Hero 11, 12 or 13 Black with me too. But when I need to travel with a very lightweight video kit, one that I hardly notice in my bag at all, yet still delivers excellent video and audio quality, thats when Osmo Action 5 hits the stage. Travelled frequently with Osmo Action 5 pro in the past few months. It is an ideal travel video camera that can be used in all conditions and for just about any activity. When paired with DJI's Wireless Mic 2 it becomes an almost perfect travel vlogging camera for those trips where you want to travel as light as possible. In this video I share my thoughts on Action 5 Pro and Wireless mic 2. All of the segments are shot on Action 5 Pro at 4K/24fps, with the exception of the studio segments and the standing and talking bit near the beginning. The one with the Rode Wireless Mic on my hoodie.This is some of the gear featured in this video:Osmo Action 5 Pro Adventure Combo Kit: amzn.to/3C0t9arDJI Short Selfie Stick/Tripod: amzn.to/3DGK2r7DJI Wireless Mic 2 transmitter kit: amzn.to/4gUJ9JUDJI Lavalier Mic: amzn.to/4h4ehGNDJI 1.5m Extension Rod: amzn.to/4h1foXHGoPro Hero 13 Black: amzn.to/4jgcoJcBelow is some of the gear I use to make these videos:Camera amzn.to/4b7DKwHLens amzn.to/3yb7xWHTripod amzn.to/4bvsfyNKey Light amzn.to/3JVBbliFill Light amzn.to/3y9D77cKey Modifier amzn.to/3JQR50iFill Modifier amzn.to/3UxCwDDBackground Lighting amzn.to/3QEyHvvMicrophone amzn.to/3UCGc7iBoom arm amzn.to/4dMpmvBC Stands amzn.to/3UQxaowB Roll Camera amzn.to/4bsvS8DTable Light amzn.to/4bmAOMiTable Light Modifier amzn.to/3K0MvfLTripod Head amzn.to/3URFuURThese are Amazon affiliate links that help the channel at no additional cost to you.

Flying DJI Neo with NO CONTROLLER! Is this the perfect travel drone? Julian C 2024-10-27 | The DJI Neo is the perfect lightweight travel drone for capturing quick and easy short clips. I use Neo without a controller, I just turn on, select mode, hold out my palm and let Neo do the rest. Neo can also be used with multiple DJI controllers, but for me the best use case is for lightweight travel. This is shot in full auto, both the Osmo Action 5 Pro and Neo footage. Audio is unedited to demonstrate the sound of Neo. It is not the quietest drone but not as loud as many people are claiming.

DJI Avata 2 - Drones are FUN to fly again!

Best Camera for Travel Vlogs? Julian C 2024-05-30 | I have been using the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, the Insta360 X4 and the GoPro Hero 12 for vlogging while traveling over the past few months. All of them have their pros and cons. This is a quick video to capture my thoughts on which is the 'best' vlogging camera while out and about, walking and talking. This is filmed entirely on Osmo Pocket 3 from DJI, in full auto mode 4K 24fps. All audio is from the DJI Wireless Mic 2, wind filter activated, microphone under my clothing. Headline - my favorite vlogging camera is not the Pocket 3, although the image quality from Pocket 3 exceeds any other action camera system.
Why I’m NOT buying the GRIII HDF from Ricoh Julian C 2024-05-09 | The Ricoh GRIII is a wonderful camera for when you need a small, pocketable, discrete camera with an outstanding lens and sensor. Ricoh recently launched the HDF version of the GRIII at a higher price tag than the original. There are now four models in the GRIII range:Ricoh GRIII - 28mm Full Frame Equivalent lens, 24MP APS-C (Sony) sensor and a built in ND filterRicoh GRIIIX - As above but with a 40mm Full Frame Equivalent lens Ricoh GRIII HDF - Same as GRIII but with a HDF filter instead of the ND filterRicoh GRIIIX HDF - Same as GRIIIX but with a HDF filter instead of the ND filterIn this video I will explain why I love the Ricoh GRIII so much and why I will NOT be buying the new Ricoh GRIII HDF.

Took the Insta360 X4 for a run Julian C 2024-04-24 | I run with GoPro cameras and occasionally other cameras too. In this video I'll share what I like about the X4 for running. Check here for any Insta360 offers: insta360.com/big-deal-days?from=store&utm_term=INR3SOTOther 360 cameras have always compromised too much on the video quality after reframing the footage. The X4 from Insta360 has made a big jump in resolution to 8K, meaning that reframed 360 footage from this camera coming in at around 2.7K looks much better than any other 360 consumer camera I have ever used.

Turn on the Anti Dust feature on Sony A7CR and A7CII cameras - works every time you power off Julian C 2023-12-01 | The latest Sony cameras including the Sony A7CR and Sony A7CII can be set to close the shutter every time you turn the camera off. This means that the sensor is protected from dust whenever you change the lens. This is not activated by default so when you buy the camera it will not work. You need to go in the menus to set it up, how to do that is explained and shown in this video. Sony have taken their time adding this to their cameras, Canon have been doing it since the original Canon EOS R camera many years ago. The shutter is very delicate so this does put more risk that the shutter gets damaged but so long as you are not touching it, this is a great way to reduce significantly the amount of dust that can get on your sensor. Sensor dust for photography is removable, it just takes some patience to do it manually in post production. If you are making video however it is much more difficult and annoying to have to deal with, I am very glad that Sony have added this feature to these latest Sony cameras.

Swapping GoPro Hero 12 Tripod Mount to GoPro Hero 10 - does it fit? #actioncamera #GoPro #hero12 Julian C 2023-11-15 | This video shows a straight swap of the mount from the Hero 12 being installed on the Hero 10. I have seen claims made that the new finger mount for the Hero 12 does not retro fit the Hero 9, 10 or 11. It fits fine and allows you to easily use regular camera tripods with any of the current form factor GoPro cameras. The GoPro Hero 12 finger mount is available on the GoPro website and is reasonably priced although it is only marketed for the Hero 12. There are also 3rd party options available at Amazon.

Running with GoPro Hero 12 Mic Test #gopro #hero12 #maxlensmod #running #microphone #mediamod Julian C 2023-09-27 | The microphones on the GoPro Hero 12 Black do a great job separating audio from background noise.
