This video is going to be a test of the Google Pixel 3's stabilization, to see if
it's a viable vlogging camera. Greetings YouTube from New York City and the
Hudson River. My name is Kevin, I make these weekly videos documenting my
journey towards full-time travel. I'm actually leaving on a 12-month adventure
in March, where I'll be visiting 12 countries. If that kind of content interest you,
please subscribe below. So it's New Year's day here in New York
City. I had this bright idea of coming down to the Hudson River, Casey
style, filming my vlog reviewing the stabilization and the viability of the
Google Pixel 3 as a vlogging camera. Well it's windy as hell down here today, so that
wasn't a very good idea, which is why I'm kind of tucked away at this little
corner. Hopefully it's not too windy and you can hear me this entire video is
going to be shot with my pixel three and either with the native lens or with this
moment lens but I'll let you know when I'm shooting with the moment lens the
only part of this video not shot with this pixel 3 is this segment right here
I'm shooting this with my a 6500 so first I'm gonna shoot you back to my
apartment and I'm gonna do a stabilization test going down some New
York City apartment stairs and then I'm gonna take you back to last night
Quentin Tarantino style to New Year's Eve I did a vlog in the rain walking
towards Times Square and I made it just outside of Times Square when they drop
the ball so hopefully enjoy that footage too and you can get an idea whether or
not this pixel 3 is a viable vlogging camera ok so first I'm gonna test out
the camera stabilization using the native lens on the camera and then I'm
going to switch to the moment wide-angle lens and then conduct another test the
test will be me walking down some stairs here in my New York City apartment there
we go
so this is just your typical New York City staircase here in my apartment
building it's pretty steep and I apologize for the echo alright so I'm
gonna go ahead and walk down these stairs and continue to talk so you can
get an idea of how this camera perform as a vlogging camera so like I said it
to be received here in New York City and I will leave a couple of blocks away
from Times Square actually so it's kind of a madhouse around there right now
alright so that kind of showed you what it's like to blog with this camera with
the native lands and now I'm going to attach a moment wide-angle lens so you
can see the difference
all right so the moment lens is attached and now I'm gonna perform the same test
here for the same staircase I'm gonna walk down and continue to talk so you
can see how this camera performs and vlogging I don't have an external mic
attached to this so this is also kind of a test for me to see how the mic works
on this in a vlog type situation I
always got to make sure you have your keys in New York City because all the
doors lock behind you so that was a test of the stabilization of the pixel 3 with
the native lands and then with the moment wide-angle lens so like I said
I'm gonna take this camera out it's New Years Eve here in New York City I'm
gonna do some lowlife tests with it and also test the stabilization and then
tomorrow I'm gonna go down to the Hudson River and I'm gonna like run with the
camera and things like that so you can see if you could use this as a viable
action camera as well alright next stop New Year's Eve in Manhattan so it's
almost midnight here in New York City and it's cold and it's wet and it's
rainy but I told you I was gonna test this camera out so I'm out here testing
it out in low light and also just testing out a vlogging camera so you
have ability works right now I have I don't
right now I don't have the moment lens and what I'm gonna stop here real quick
and put that on because that's what I'm really curious about because if I'm
gonna vlog with this camera I'm gonna have a little bit more wide angle
okay so now I've got the moment lens on I'm walking towards Times Square I'm
about four or five blocks away I'm actually on the street I live in which
that simply cool looking you still have all the holiday lights up so yeah
hopefully you're getting a good idea of how the stabilization works with this
phone and how it works in low light
right into Times Square but I'm really close
crowd cheers even a five square so we can get a little
the camera is kind of windy so hopefully it's picking up the audio but this is
the idea of me running with out the moment Lance with just the native camera
all right so now we'll try to do this
okay now the same shot with the moment wide-angle lens attached running
so my overall assessment of the pixel 3 is that it can actually be a pretty good
vlogging camp the stabilization is pretty good I did no post editing
stabilization work to this so this is all the performance of the camera I have
to say that the audio is ok but if it's windy like it is right now you're
definitely gonna have a problem but I think the camera by itself and
especially with the moment wide-angle lens can work as a blogging camera under
ideal conditions this video please like down below and subscribe and thanks for
