Vlogging Camera Flip Screen External Mic

This canon RP is such a capable camera. The pictures come out stunning and the flip out screen makes it a perfect vlogging camera as well. Its small size does not affect performance whatsoever. Highly recommend.

Was looking for a vlogging camera that can be taken on the road and had a fold-out screen. After about several weeks of research, I settled on this kit - camera, mic, gimbal, and vlogging kit. This has been a great upgrade from the GoPro Hero 7. The camera, mic, and grip are not too heavy to carry and film for extended hours. The fully articulating screen is nice and I like the fact that it folds out allowing you to still use the hot shoe (cameras with a flip-up screen block the hot shoe limiting your use of an external mic, or anything else you would want to attach to the hot shoe). One recommendation - get the zv1 handle grip r055 (Amazon) for this camera if you will be using it on the Bluetooth grip. The tripod screw hole is very close to the battery cover door. When the camera is on the Bluetooth grip, the battery and memory card are inaccessible because the grip covers the battery cover door. With the additional handle grip you will be able to get to the battery and memory card without removing the camera from the Bluetooth grip. The handle grip does add a little extra weight, but not too much where it becomes too noticeably heavy. Aside from this minor design issue, the camera, with this vlogging kit, is a must for any vlogger on the go!

I'd first like to mention that I received this camera from Sony as part of their ambassador program, but all thoughts are my own. I spend a lot of my time outside in nature all over the world. I live for adventurous activities and documenting these experiences in both photo and video form. I also like the option of packing light in certain situations (ie. Hiking for hours on end). Sometimes I'm in situations where having a large camera and rig prevents me from getting the shot especially when people are involved. Big cameras can be intimidating! This camera is great for being discreet and takes up very little room in my camera bag...or any bag (I can easily throw it into my purse or small backpack), even with the grip attached. I LOVE that it has a flip screen. Seriously, if this camera can have a flip screen, why can't the A7 series or A9? As a vlogger, flip screens are a HUGE plus. The fact that the camera is water and dust proof makes it a great travel buddy for every type of adventure. The fact that the RX0 II comes equipped with a mic jack, so you can attach an external mic is also very impressive. Again, why can this be done with this super small camera but not the RX100 series? Overall, I'd highly recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for a small but mighty all-purpose action camera to add to their tool kit.

Overall, an excellent video camera with unique offerings that no competitors currently have in their bags. Pros: - excellent video quality in such a small and light package with a flip out screen - excellent auto focus and tracking in video mode - a few touches here and there made the camera much more usable, such as automatically (and fairly quickly) switching on and off camera coupled with the flip screen, built-in ND filter, hot shoe that works with Sony ECM shotgun mic even in zoom mode, external mic input, improved ergonomics for better gripping, good video stabilization, redesigned in-camera mic with hot shoe mounted wind screen - quick access and customizable menu items make the UI less terrible Cons: - battery life is abysmal - limited touch screen functionality - lens quality is meh for photography - menu can use a major overhaul - nitpicking: build is OK but on the plasticky side, AF haunts in low light and jitters sometimes, overheats, no hand strap

I love this camera and I love that I can take selfies with the flip screen!

The Ulanzi vlogging cage is perfect for attaching lense filters and an external mic and light with the cold shoes. My GoPro mic adapter sits nice and securely in the holder. Great Quality and very durable!

While the first RX0 was revolutionary, there were still many limitations that made it a tough sell for many hobbyist photographers. In order to get the best results, it required a pro set up (external recorder for 4K, as well as an external monitor to actually see what you were recording, and a gimbal to stabilize the footage). I know this because I shot a short film using only the RX0. Sony gave me the new RX0II to test out and heres what I think. Not only does this update address those issues for hobbyist filmmakers, it adds a flip out screen, making it IMO the ultimate camera for an entirely new sector of creators: vloggers. It literally fits in your pocket, is protected against water, dropping (even crushing), etc. If you can a dual mount and a handle that puts the mic off to the side, its still wayyyy lighter than even Sonys a6400, also great for vlogging.  If you have a main camera, and want the ultimate camera B for travel content creation or vlogging (heck, even the photos Ive taken on the RX0 are legit), this is a must have in the tool kit. Squeeze it into a tight space, hang it out the window, take it underwater, it kind of does it all, now in 4K internally. Like I said the original had some setbacks, but this one is a no brainer.

I use it as external mic for my camera and it works beyond expectations.

Works for vlogging really well. Good mic to start out with

I've used this product plugged into an external jack of a flip-cam as well as a much more sophisticated camera, both of which work fantastic.
