Best Video Cameras For Vlogging 2019

Contacted B&H back in early 2019 regarding an idea to synchronize multiple, stand-alone video cameras during a live concert shoot by using a single remote activated flash, as a clap-stick was not practical. The B&H folks recommended the Yongnuo YN560-IV Speedlite flash unit with it's accompanying remote trigger, the Yongnuo YN560-TX II Manual Flash Controller. The system hasn't been put into heavy duty use, but it's held up well since being purchased in 2019, The flash unit is placed on top of a microphone stand that's visible to all the cameras in use. We roll the cameras at the start of the shoot, and remotely trigger one or two flashes several seconds apart. It does a phenomenal job providing a flash trigger that's allowed us to sync multiple prosumer video cameras to a single 1/60th second frame!!! And thanks to rock solid frame rates across the cameras, we've recorded over an hour without losing sync! We treat the system gently, and remove the batteries when not in use. If you don't have another easy way to sync multiple video cameras, this system is an inexpensive and fantastic way to solve the problem! Would highly recommend it and B&H!!!

Best lens for vlogging. The wide angle and auto focus is the perfect combo!

B&H is the Best place for cameras & etc.

NIKON ARE THE BEST CAMERAS!

Works just as described. Perfect for extended video shoots, Zoom meetings, and vlogging.

I have used this camera before for vlogging and it's amazing. Video and audio quality are very high. You will not be disappointed.

Bought the lens for vlogging use to shoot at 1.8 instead of using the canon 10-18mm 4-5.6 to blur the background and get more of that cinematic look people are after.... the video is sick! I’d love it to be a tad wider even when holding it out on a JOBY gorillapod, as I found myself consistently shooting at 10mm on the last lens, but you can’t complain when you have a wide angle zoom this fast. I use it with a rode video micro and you can hear the focus occasionally even with the external mic and that never happened with the canon, but it’s slight and if you’re talking or there’s ambient noise you can’t hear it so I haven’t had to throw away footage because of it, it’s still quieter than most lenses. Autofocus is fast but a tad slower than the cheap canon which always seemed to be instant. The zoom ring is heavy, almost too heavy, but it’s not something that will bug you after getting used to it. All these sound like negatives but let me tell you, the video looks amazing and it’s a great range for vlogging so I couldn’t be happier and it accepts filters so I can use a variable ND unlike the 20mm 1.4 which I considered, and would definitely have got if it were strictly for photos. If you’re using this for photos not much of this review will be useful but I can tell you, I’m now using it for my video thumbnails and the shots at 1.8 look great. When it’s all said and done, there’s no perfect lens out there but this one does an amazing job.... 5 stars Sigma!

A great addition to any softbox. Gives that directional light, especially when shooting video or vlogging.

I wanted something to use with my m4/3 camera for some video work...hand held vlogging and putting it on a table for other shots...I wanted something light and versatile and this GPod seems to be a good choice. I have no idea how well it will hold up over time but it seems solid and well made so my hopes are high.
