Is the sony fe 28 70mm f 3 5 5 6 oss good for video?

It's a sensible, stabilised zoom that fits a lot of Sony bodies, but it isn't a standout video lens. The stabilisation and autofocus help with handheld shooting. The 28mm wide end is tighter than the 16-20mm full-frame equivalent the video guide suggests for vlogging at arm's length. And the aperture drops from f/3.5 to f/5.6 as you zoom, so you'll need more light the further you zoom in. Shot on a full-frame body, it frames like 28-70mm; on APS-C it frames like 42-105mm.

If you want to pair it with a video-focused body, the Sony ZV-E1 and Sony FX3 are full-frame options that take this lens. The Sony FX30 is an APS-C option, where the tighter framing matters more. For the reasoning on zoom apertures, see Lenses. Full specs are on the Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS page.
