Top 5 Vlogging Cameras 2018

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 received this product in exchange for my honest review.]

5 stars.

5 Stars, no need to say anything else.

I bought this bag in or around 2018 - I'm only writing the review now because I recommended this bag to my brother, and realized it was criminal that I hadn't posted a public one yet. This badboy has been with me to 10+ countries, been thrown in and out of every size of airplane, and generally been my bag of choice for everything that comes up. I have dragged it through immigration lines by the strap, and have worn it as a backpack because I had my hands full. It feels like a small bag, but somehow holds everything... like it always manages to hold everything. I tried tons of different specialized bags to use for getting my pilot's license, and this thing (surprise!) holds everything perfectly. Weekend bag? check. Month long trip? Rock this guy plus a backpack or carryon. Which brings me to the *only* flaw I can think of. It doesn't sit well on top of a rolling suitcase. The bag will want to slide off the top, and can tip over the whole arrangement when you're on the run. Also, and I can't explain this with anything other than witchcraft... it looks *exactly* the same as when I bought it. 11 out of 10.

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.

5 star product.

5 in 1, the only way to go. Folds up easy.

5 Stars. It's what we needed.
