    The camera is great, works great with a Zhiyun Crane M2 Gimbal. Good open box deal. My complaint is the product was sold in “Open Box - Excellent” condition but the USB micro cable is missing. Obviously I don’t need the one that was included, but I think that should have qualified the camera for a “Fair” condition rating. Watch some videos by “DB Wares” for some really in-depth videos on the Sony ZV-1 and especially for connecting to the Zhiyun M2 gimbal!

    Got this camera to start my podcast. So far everything about the camera is so cool. I can pretty much get clear content from it and the battery life is pretty good. It’s a great camera for moving on the go as well, overall 10/10!
