Phil, I have followed your channel for some time now and I have really liked everything you have produced. I love seeing your town and I like the photos you have taken and shown us. I know it can be depressing when you get negative comments but, believe me, ignore the guys who have nothing constructive to say. If they think your shots are mediocre then they should offer advice. People saying your stuff sucks and probably jealous because you have a great town to use as a photographic backdrop, you use really nice cameras and you are starting to build a following. Just keep doing things your way and people like me will stick with you and continue to enjoy your videos. Take care, and Good Luck.

Thank you so much for your too kind words! Can't tell you how much this means to me reading this from you! I'm speechless and really appreciate you and your time supporting me and my channel!

A couple to add. Car shows and Christmas markets and public events are all good practice for photographing people in a street settings. Such environments have higher permissivity. Using these for practice will help overcome the kneejerk fear of confrontation. Telephoto lenses.

Good stuff as always Phil. Are you vlogging with the Pocket 3? I notice that it is tracking your motion. Does the pocket 3 zoom in or does it only track side to side? My ZV-E1 does the auto-tracking as well but it also auto-frames which I hate. I want the camera to just auto-track without zooming in to a medium shot. I'm not sure If I'm making any sense.

I totally get you Noi ;) As far I tried things out it only tracks side to side, which it does great, since it's a moving gimbal. You can zoom in manually while recoding, when you have the app open, but image doesn't look great on that digital zoom, because of the one inch sensor. Otherwise this one inch sensor is great. Saw some video where I was blown away how much you can get out of this thing, when a pro use it (even Peter Mckinnon has one video shot only on the Osmo Pocket 3 and looks great). I have some plans using this Pocket 3 as a vlog setup while shooting street photography. The size is perfect for me to be kinda stealthy. I just need the courage and time to do so :D Thanks as always for tuning in my friend! :)

@@IntrovertAmateur I know what you mean. When I'm out in public I feel so self-conscious when shooting. I find that if you make a serious and focused face when you're doing it people usually leave you alone or don't mind. I'm actually not joking for once about this haha. They just assume you're either an artist or you're shooting for work and not being a creep which makes sense, because I usually treat people who casually take pictures a lot differently than I treat people who I think are doing it as a job. I might make a video about this topic actually :P Also thanks for the info about the pocket 3. I might get it based on what you've told me. I want to record my fitness but the stupid ZV-E1 keeps zooming in and I don't want that. I just want it to track me without the zoom. I wonder if there's an option to lock it that I don't know about. It's actually pretty cool sometimes though. It's very natural. For your case I think it would look better than how the pocket 3 handles framing. It's pretty dynamic and feels like there's someone behind the camera. I'll post a vlog soon showing it.

@@noisackda2564 I would love to a video from you about that topic :) You do have a straight poker face while vlogging and if I wouldn’t know you through YT I would be scared speaking to you 😂 To be honest I literally came home from a short street pov vlog, where I used the Pocket 3 while walking through my town. Definitely prefer this setup compared to the ZVE1, which I also had, but never used it for vlogging because of anxiety 😅 But sure the image quality is not the same level, but it’s more then enough for me. And today I recorded on Dlog 10bit - let’s see if I can do something with it. I just hope I didn’t messed up the audio again 😅 I think the Pocket 3 will be a great addition to your kit. If you are interested in it I recommend to get the creative combo kit, where your get the wireless mic, the extended battery and the 15mm equivalent lens adapter 😉 Looking forward for your next video 👍😊

@@IntrovertAmateur you know when I vlog with the right mindset it always works out best. I keep in the back of my head that it's just a job. Of course, I don't know how others around me feel but if I'm mentally able to block it out I think people around me take me more seriously as well. There's a difference between someone vlogging like they are creating content vs someone out filming people like a creep lol. I remember in particular the Fuji XE4 POV vlog I did. I was very focused and serious about taking good shots and people were not bothered at all. I think they could see in my face that I wasn't out being a pervo haha. I have a great pokerface but I think a pokerface might be a little creepy. I would say bring out the focused face lol. Like you are doing math in your head all the time.
