Top 10 Video Cameras For Vlogging

So my first impression out the box was a little underwhelming due to the build quality. It felt very plastic and light weight compared to my manfrotto mini tripod but after actually using it for vlogging for the next few days I quickly changed my mind. The things that I faulted it for were small but beneficial when using it for vlogging. These table top tripods are best when used with point and shoot cameras, small action cameras or accessories. For heavier set ups I would go with the better built manfrotto. One thing that stuck out to me when actually using it vs unboxing it was the notch that is cut out to allow the ball head to go back a lot further than my manfrotto. This allows you to get a few more inches of distance when vlogging. If you are like me and don't like when the camera is too close to your face then this helps. It is a small difference but a noticeable one for me. You don't notice the lack in build when actually using it the way I did. The lighter weight made me feel like I was only holding my camera. On top of that its around ten dollars cheaper than my manfrotto option. Unless your entire goal is build quality or heavier set ups, id save some money and get this one if your use will be similar to mine. So for the price and actual usability I give it 5 stars.

I wish I would have ordered sooner. For your top video work and larger cameras a must need! Todd

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.

I've had 10 different digital cameras. I've done professional video and stills throughout my working life. My G9II (and Gh6) is the best camera I've ever used. The AF on the G9II for BIF and sports is extremely good. The video is a professional grade documentary or B roll cinema camera. Pair it with Panasonic PL grade lenses and it becomes a tool with which you can do your best work. The handheld hires is amazing.

I'll probably use this mostly as a small light stand and table top tripod, but it would work well for a vlogging setup too.

This is a great little light and works well. I got this as a gift and use it on my GoPro 10 with the media mod for vlogging in low light conditions. It’s much bright than the GoPro version and I love that it’s so compact! The battery lasts a very long time.

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.
