Vivitar Skyview Drone With Camera Review

Very compact and does the job. Holds a pair of Celstron Skyview 20x80 binoculars fairly well with minor wobbling but meets my needs for price.

Small but good, enough for my camera and drone.

This converter allows me to use my Vivitar macro lens on my new Nikon D7100 camera. I also have many filters for my macro lens so they now work with the Nikon D7100!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera cube is amazing. I was able to fit a drone, a camera, a controller for batteries and some lenses. What more can you ask for?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] bought to bring s camera or drone while biking. I feel like the gear is adequately protected and secure when i ride.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this SD card for my drone and Sony camera. Have yet to have any issues with them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Wandrd backpack. It is extremely well made. The material is fantastic. Any dirt or sand brushes right off. I am confident that my gear is protected. It is thoughtfully designed and easy to access whatever I need. I typically leave my DJI mavic drone in the main compartment along with the controller, extra batteries and other accessories. With that, I am also able to fit my EOSR with a battery grip and small lens in the top compartment. If I want to bring more camera gear and still have my drone, I attach the Route chest pack which comfortably fits my camera with a 100-300mm lens and then I store smaller lenses in the top portion of the backpack. I am beyond grateful to have finally found a bag system that works for me!

Considering the name vivitar from years gone by - was never the top brand but made its name present in the camera business. I bought this bag hoping that it would meet my needs but thinking maybe not. After I received the bag - this bag is great - the photo does not do it justice! I love mine!

You would think that a chunk of translucent plastic would be useless as an on-camera flash modifier. I believe this apparatus works as a light distributor in 360 degrees. I tested this product with both a Vivitar 283 and a Vivitar 285HV on a EOS 5D Mark III. It seemed to work best when I set the camera setting to Av mode at a set aperture rather than in M mode and let the flash do the work. Of course, using a slower shutter speed allowed the available light to "invade" the image and allow more "depth of field" with the allowance of light. In the Av mode, the shutter speed was slower, the IS of the lens allowed for a focused image, and that allowed for the exposure to be "perfect" if there is such thing. I cut my teeth on film and digital follows in the tradition of Adam's Zone System and everything works on digital as it did, does in analog. I was completely blown away to this fact. Enjoy your new toy. This is a PJ's staple for "controlled" flash light!

I am trying to use older Vivitar lenses with my current and future Canon camera's. Bought this as it bridged the gap between the cannon bayonet connection and the vivitar screw mount. Tried it yesterday and it works perfectly. The adapter did get stuck on the camera until I used something to grip the ring better....but that's just part of my learning curve.
