Content creator Siya Zarrabi is half of the Hopscotch The Globe vlogging team, sharing the adventure with his partner and fellow Alpha Collective member Kristen Sarah. After spending months on the road vlogging their experience living in an Airstream, the two have recently moved to a multicultural community in Costa Rica where they continue to share their journey on their YouTube Channel. Zarrabi is a big fan of using his white Sony ZV-E10 for documenting the adventure. “It’s so light, half the weight of many other cameras. It’s great because you can hold it out for vlogging longer without issue. It’s so much easier on your body and you can also very easily throw it in your bag to take with you.” But it’s not just the weight that makes it his top choice for vlogging. Keep reading as he shares more of his favorite details and gives us an inside look at how he sets up his Sony ZV-E10 before recording a vlog.
