what's up guys so this is my part two of
studio and photography upgrades I made a
video few weeks ago in which I shared
the initial ones in which I bought bunch
of stands lights and things like that
phone holders ball heads this is uh the
continuation of that that video in which
I am going to share the camera which is
insert this one shooting grip and some
other stuff you have this uh Bluetooth
microphone which you use wirelessly
communicate with the DSLR camera or with
the phone this is a two in one then I
have this FR video micro microphone that
I use with my camera lastly I have this
uh small tripod which I use with both uh
phone and this camera it also has a cold
shoe here that you can use to actually
plug in microphone or other things like
that so let me show you what's inside
this camera this is a hard case so it is
made to protect the camera as you can
see it cannot be passed it is really
hard so inside it if you look into it
you see a Sony zv1 camera uh a lanar
attached to it it is uh protected with a
cover a shooting grip and some batteries
here two batteries here SD card cover
and things like that right here so let
me show you one by one let's start with
the smaller things and then we'll move
towards more complex
things
okay let's
see let me share these two things first
then let start with this one and this is
a mini tripod so that you can easily
plug in your phone here but I mostly use
it for my camera
this only Z One
Z what ZB mark
one so sometimes I say Z which is I
think from Britain some sometimes I say
Z which is from USA so it's confusing
all right let me show you and this can
be
extended like
this it goes almost two fet if you take
this height almost 2 ft so let me bring
it down so that everything is clear in
the camera and this part opens up like
this one increase the stability like
this okay and on top of that you have
this cold shoe here so you can uh insert
light here for
example if you're making a video like
this let's assume like this you can
insert the
microphone and then tighten up like this
or you can add light as well okay so
this is the cold shoe and this part is
also really nice this ballhead usually
ballheads are very basic this can go in
very different angles and is really good
quality so this part which I'm not sure
if I can remove actually I don't think
so yeah I can't at least based on my
understanding I can't remove so this
part I really like it because it has a
cold shoe and this rotating part allhe
head is really nice one but if you need
to install a camera all you need to do
is just remove this phone
holder take this
camera and
just SOL the camera like
this see and let me try to another up a
bit
there you go see and then if you need to
attach uh this microphone all you need
to do is just do this try turn it
up and then you can sort this camera
into the camera where is this one right
here okay so now you have a mini video
recording setup in your hand you can do
it like this easily if you don't need
the extension but but if you need to
give it a height all you need to do is
pull it out and you're good to
go this is made by J Mary but uh uh in
the link I would leave the link for
ananzi one
ananzi I really like them if I am able
to find the link for this one I will
leave it but I would personally
recommend going for the this brandan I
really like their products I find them
really useful they are much better
quality
so let me remove the
camera let's put it
here I will come back to the camera
later this is the phone holder and as
you can see it has a uh thread hole here
or screw hole here here and you can also
add gold Shoe Port here so very useful
mini
tripod I use it actually I since it
arrived I have started using
and I really like it and it was also not
that expensive to buy so this was the
first thing let's move to the second
thing which is this RW video micro and
this is a batteryless microphone and it
will work with any DSLR camera can
easily attach to the cold shoe like
right here so that you have a setup your
camera let me remove it and show you in
action how to add it to your C DSLR
camera
so like this see now you can add it and
record it and it's actually really
sensitive and few videos that I made
with it they actually pick up even the
sound of me breathing so I I have also
ordered the it came with a f Shield but
that is way too big for my taste so I
have ordered a foam covers to avoid it
but it is really sensitive so and it is
really
good this is to work with this one the
thing I like about it it is it sound
quality is really good and it is battery
l so I don't have to worry about
charging or anything like that so this
is the microphone let's move again I
will leave the links in video
description so don't worry about the
links and everything now let's move to
another microphone I am working on a
full review of this
microphone I have really positive views
about it but this is a twoin one it can
work with your DSLR as well as your
phone it has two microphones so you can
even interview people with it it comes
with all the cables covers furry Shields
cat Shields everything you will need it
comes with it so it's really good buy
and I think I was able to buy it from
AliExpress for just like $49 and I think
it is in cheaper now on Black Friday so
let me open it up and show you this is
the sender one receiver two
receiver it can on a single charge it
can record up to uh 5 hours and then
with the case it can go up to 20 hours
let me show you other accessories as
well quickly again uh I will not share
samples or anything like that they will
I working on a review so it will come
there so have some documentation they
also give you speakers to apply on these
one like your mic thumbs up straw heart
alzi their
logo smiley face everything is here on
air so in case you want to apply them
there
what else is
here there are a bunch of accessories
inside this one this pouch also comes
with it so one for Shield or cat
Shield there second cat
Shield this is a type A to type c
charging
cable these are two magnets so that in
case you need to uh apply them to your
T-shirt or something and don't you don't
want to use this one so then you can use
the magnets there so it comes with two
very strong
magnets the receiver has its own battery
that's why you can actually use it with
the DSLR through this one and this one
and actually you will use I think with
this one probably and this one is for
monitoring this jackport so that you can
also listen to the audio that is being
recorded and this one is for charging
and also probably for diesel
let me show
you how it will work with
DLR these are extra covers that it comes
with so that in case you want to change
its colors you can do
so this is if you want
to use it with iPhone then you have the
adapter as well just use it this type c
to lightning adapter and you can use it
with your iPhone isn't that that cool
and these are the covers so for example
in case you want to change the color of
transmitters this is back remove it and
just apply the white one to complement
the color of your shirt Isn't that cool
same if you bought the white one you uh
you can also appy black ones so they
send you both black and white so that
can change the
colors what else this is for DSLR so
this this is how you will do it you will
insert the type C here and the other
part will
go here to connect it with the DSLR
camera so it will work with DSLR as well
as with your phone which can be Android
or iPhone so isn't this extensive L look
at the accessories they sent in this
tiny little package for this price
speakers two transmitters one receiver
and adapter with your phone magnets
covers fory Shields charging cable a
pouch case everything is here and it is
it is of really good quality uh at least
build
wise if you are interested like how it
feels that I'm working on a video I will
have my full Impressions on the full
review
video so let me move it everything in
the box so that you guys don't have to
wait for
me all
right there you
go then this is the last part that I've
been waiting for probably this is the
camera we have the shooting gripes of
Sony I have one battery here one battery
here these are some SD card covers and
that's it this is a hard shell cover as
you can see it is really hard to passess
it so it is for protection of the camera
itself the the
camera I have bought this cover for it
it is not a perfect match as you can see
this was supposed to be here but it is
actually for Sony Z V Mark I mine is at
V1 that's why there is some
inconsistency but overall as you can see
it fits perfectly so let me remove it
and show you how it actually looks
inside this is the cover that I bought
along with the
camera this lanyard also wasn't part of
it I bought it
separately then you have the shooting
gripe let turn on camera for you as soon
as you bring out the LCD it should oh
sorry there is no battery I need to put
it
battery there goes the
battery SD card is already installed
let's lock it and once you open it
up
camera see there you can
see the camera
view give it a second I am using it in
ntsc that's what it is saying uh by
default it runs on e
l a second and let
should well just
fine come
on meanwhile let me show you this
shooting grip it has photo Movie wide
angle telephoto lens like zoom in zoom
out this to lock and this is clear
background uh background blur control
that these are some basic functions it
gets it it runs on a
cr232 battery which can be seen right
here you can change it by unlocking it
here right here
c0
CR2032 battery cell it is really
convenient in the sense that you can
easily control the different functions
remotely when you little away without
giving shake to the camera so I
personally really like it and keep it
with me and if you
needed to give it a
grip and also use it as a mini
tripod like this see
let me tighten it
up now you have used it as a wa let me
rotate it I think I should be able to
rotate
it like
this and now you
have your camera attached to the
shooting grip I have one extra battery
in case I runs out of
battery then we have the cover
and this completes the studio upgrades
actually there is one more thing that I
have ordered and one of purpose of that
is to see the video from this micro HD
HDMI so let me also share that with you
after removing
it
okay let quickly remove it
to decrease the
Clutter so what is the thing this is a
15. 6 in monitor made by Wu H Chinese
brand it is I was able to buy it from
AliExpress for just $60 it is a 108p
monitor comes with a bunch of things I
personally really liked it I am going to
make a separate video about it uh
immediately after this one so if you're
interested in learning about it check
out videos on my channel you'll be able
to find it after this video few days
after this video and just $0 I uh it
looks really beautiful I hope it is
beautiful as it looks so that works as
well it was jamed this box was at least
jamed by the customs
the Border but overall it looks and
feels fine and packaging is good so I'm
confident the product itself is going to
be
fine uh I will also leave the link to
buy this one in the video description or
if you just uh want to check it out it's
description and everything so everything
you see here you should be able to find
it in my video description there are
links so don't worry about what is what
or what are their
names but these are the things that I
was ordered and this completes my
photography and Studio
upgrades so I hope you guys liked it I
hope it was worth it I'm going to use
them and I have already started using
them and I really like them so I hope
you guys liked it too take care of
yourself bye
