Peak design strap issue

Sony includes a free strap for the Sony zv-1m2 which does not fit. Need to purchase and external cage protector in order to use a strap. Why bother to include a strap with the camera that does not fit??? Great camera, poor accessory. Unable to find a proper strap that works with this camera.

Sony ZV-1 II

The Sony ZV-1 Mark II camera is a compact, versatile device specifically designed for content creators and vloggers. With its impressive features and user-friendly interface, it caters to the needs of those who prioritize high-quality video recording and stunning image quality. The ZV-1 boasts an advanced 18-50mm lens, compared to the original ZV-1 which reached 24-70mm. Its flip-out LCD screen, new USB-C port, and three-capsule mic with changeable directivity makes it perfect for vlogging and live streaming. Additionally, the camera offers advanced autofocus and a new Cinematic Vlog setting to ensure professional-looking footage. Vloggers, YouTubers, and any creative individual looking for a powerful, portable, and user-friendly camera will be able to document their adventures and creations with ease.

ISOZV1M2

Elevate your vlogging

The ZV-1 II is an ideal all-round vlog camera. Compact and portable, it features a wide-angle zoom lens for versatile framing, a 1.0-type (1-inch) image sensor for great image quality, and an intelligent microphone for clear audio recording.

Frame it all

With the vlog camera ZV-1 II, you can shoot everything from group selfies to sprawling cityscapes. The wide-angle 18-50mm1 zoom lens can capture a wide field of view from 18mm, so you can easily fit everyone or everything in the frame to beautiful portraits at 50mm. Whether you're indoors or out, the wide-angle lens turns everyday scenes into dynamic footage.

ISOZV1M2

Creative colors

No experience is needed to make an impressive vlog with all the right visuals from the outset. My Image Style2 lets you simply tweak brightness and color while viewing what you plan to shoot-all without having to wade through menus. For shots with more creative color and mood, Creative Look offers ten presets so simply select one that matches your vision.

ISOZV1M2

Built-in mic for clear voice recording

With the ZV-1 II, capturing high quality audio is even easier. In [Auto] mode, the new built-in Intelligent 3-Capsule Mic switches the direction of the built-in mic from [All Directions] to [Front] when the camera recognizes a human face in the frame. Or you can switch manually from [Auto] to [Front] for selfies or [Rear] when shooting with narration. Attach a supplied windscreen to reduce wind noise and capture clearer audio outdoors.

These are also great for shooting selfies or in other situations when you can't reach the physical buttons on the camera.

ISOZV1M2

Focus on you

The ZV-1 II automatically makes sure you always stay in focus with Touch Tracking. It recognizes human faces and eyes, so it keeps track of the main subject without wandering off. Just tap the subject on the screen to activate the feature. Eye AF can even be set to track animal faces and eyes.

ISOZV1M2

Powerful image stabilization

Shaky footage can ruin the best of vlogs, but the ZV-1 II is built to let you capture great footage even while you're walking and shooting handheld. Active Mode8 helps to minimize camera blur, giving you steadier shots without the need for any post-shoot editing.

ISOZV1M2

Selfies made simple

Let the ZV-1 II work for you to capture great group moments. When taking selfies in iAUTO mode with two or three people, the camera automatically adjusts the setting to keep everyone's faces sharp and clear

ISOZV1M2

Connecting your camera and smartphone has never been easier thanks to the Creators' App mobile application11.
