TESTING THE SONY RX0 AND THE GP-VPT2BT GRIP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These images are stills extracted from a video clip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have, for many years, an RX0 camera which as small as a matchbox and while I like it the user interface is almost impossible to use and despite its size a tripod is required but there is no way that I am willing to carry a tripod in order to use the camera. Anyway, having noticed that reviewers of the new Sony Sony ZV-1F camera were all using Sony grips I decided to have a look at the Sony GP-VPT2BT [supplied free if you order the new Sony ZV-1F Vlogging camera costing Euro 649.00].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I managed to borrow the grip for a few hours to see how well it works with the RX0. Unfortunately, the grip does not communicate with my version of the RX0 but the GP-VPT2BT worked very well as a mini tripod so I decided to purchase it. I should mention that I decided that I needed it as I have ordered the new Sony FX-30 Video-Centric camera which does communicated with the GP-VPT2BT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot decide if Shandon Gardens is in Cabra or Phibsborough so, a year ago, I asked a few locals and I got different answers. Anyway I came across the following description in the property section of a local newspaper: Located on your doorstep are a host of local amenities including shops, schools, restaurants and bars and is within walking distance of the Luas, the Mater Hospital, the Four Courts, Kings Inns and the DIT City Centre Campus at Grangegorman. For more leisurely pursuits are Mt Bernard Park is on your doorstep, the Royal Canal Walk, the Botanic Gardens and the Phoenix Park. This property will be of interest to those looking for a home in a quiet and highly desirable location within walking distance of Dublin city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
