Yes. Camera is great. In theory you pay it off in ~20 days of renting it out / using it. If the next version comes out, you have a great B cam, great cam to use to make money to buy the new one, or you can flip it pretty easily. There are plenty of people still using the FS7 and FS5, the cameras don’t become obsolete overnight when a new one comes out. Also, it takes a few years for the market to catch up to new cameras, so the FX6 is just now coming into its prime. Then, there’s that the stats have sort of stagnated. Cable TV isn’t broadcasting much 4K, and most things are still shot in 1080 anyway. The FX6 makes a fantastic 1080 image!

FX6 mark ii? A7siv so far i thought was going to be quadbayer from over 80mp to get 6k as the a7siii is doing over 45mp to have a 12.1mp sensor. It was never your pappys 4k. The low light performance and extra sharp image compared to other cameras with similar or better specs may be more about that, in my opinion, than extra sharpening and nr with camera processing. Sony claims so too but just doesn't put so much weight on it. The a7siv is supposed to have more dynamic range and low light because of this. Add in the demand to keep up with other specs like internal raw, cloud service, new ai chips, the c400 having 3 base isos and the fx6 mark ii is going to be a beast...assuming they actually keep the as7iv a quad bayer, even though that will require over 80mp to get our measly 6k. If they throw out quad Bayer for a more normal stacked bsi sensor or something and do 8k, it will just be another mirroless hybrid with nothing too special about the sensor going on. A7siv may come out later this year? Maybe? By next year, at the same time, when the fx6 mark ii is out, the fx6 may lose a some value. The mark ii won't be cheap. I'd say it could be 7,000-8,000. Maybe they would jack it up more. This will make a 4000 dollar kit out fx6 seem like a value thing.

can u make a video showing how you sex the fx6 up on your gimbal?

I bought then sold it great camera but I can get the exact same image frm a7siii fx3 few extra buttons not worth that much money 🙏🏽

Over three years on the 6 and still loving it :) use it on 95% of my jobs.

Couldn’t agree more dude. I bought mine early 2021 and it’s still going strong!

The reasons I love this camera can be summarized with many acronyms. XLR + SDI + VND + AF + Dual-ISO. That being said, I can't tell you how many times I've thought about selling it for a Komodo-X. Oh, and the DJI R4D-8K is an insanely under-rated camera as well.

Most enjoyable, thank you, David.

If I’m filming 90% inside of the rooms … does it make any sense for me? I usually have a kind of rode style cover on my ntg4+

The Realest DP on CZcams. Follow up with clients is a clutch move, and honestly one I unfortunately wasn't doing. Definitely going to add that into my business workings right away!

so NEVER use S Q ...use 1080p 120fps

Hi! thanks but what is it's name or where to find it?

Really like how you put this together, David! Solid points 👌

This is an informative presentation. Question: Do you recommend choosing a cinema camera from certain brands such as Sony, Canon, and Red? I ask because there are older cinema cameras that can be purchased used (e.g., EVA1 and Varicam LT).

Super informative video, where I can find those websites for finance a cinema camera?

*I bought the FX30 because I wanted to do video only for my CZcams channel and I traded in my ZV-1 & A6400 and since it's an APS-C Camera My Lens from my a6400 will work, Plus that Dual SD Slot just bought a CFExpress for it also*

I recently bout Sony entry cinema camera the FX30. Pairing it with the helios 44-2 is the probably one of the best decisions I ever made.

Love your video. Just subscribed to your channel as well .

1. I picked up my first cinema camera in 2022 after shooting on the A7sii for years. Made more business sense to make sure I future proofed myself. Plus it costs way more to build out a mirrorless to get it to do what you need it to vs a cinema style camera. 2. What website or app are you using to keep track of gear or send out gear quotes?

I just recently became an Owner Operator on a Sony FS7. A cinema camera just has a different look and a different feel. Its deep its rich and its so immersive not like over sharpened hybrid cameras. A cinema camera also needs to be able to allow operator to change almost all settings offering full customization and also being able to add lots of accessories monitors, cages, mics, recorders, sdi, timecode sync. Love your content, you have a new subscriber.

How did you light the shot @5:21? Are you using two Amaran lights?

what is your mic??? so nice

Great information. I’m very new to making videos and this was very helpful. The only tool I have is a camera (6700). I’m broke, so I had to start somewhere. 😅 I’m a bit limited, but I hope to grow. What about lighting? Especially in a Salon, there’s a lot going on, with customers coming in and out… what did you do for that?

One man band???? Why not say photography ? Tf

Good video , I have the mega 4 and 6 . Good point about the grid. Can you power this light from one battery , or need two like the 4 and 6 .?

Great bread and butter jobs, and they are still stories to be told. Documentaries with a budget. Give them your best.

I appreciate you shedding a light on this niche which was kinda there but I’m just realizing i can tap into

This is a fantastic lens!! not underrated at all! everybody loves this lens !! in fact a bunch of people bought this one over the 24 1.4 GM Underrated? no, but great video everybody loves this lens !! in fact a bunch of people bought this one over the 24 1.4 GM.

I love this lens as well. It is my wide angle of choice. Perfect to complement my 24-70 f2.8 and my 50mm 1.4 GM

By far one of my favorite lenses. Totally underrated.

Hey mate, love your content. I don't get why your videos have so little views. I've tired this lens few times and it is one of the best Sony lenses but in the end I've went with new sigma 20mm because 1.4 aperture.

❤️🔥

I’m in Chicago. Let’s work

i buy fs7 in brazil (2024)

Would a ir filter affect a infrared converted Cameras?

Thanks for the video! Great info I see you have nanlite and aputure. Do you know if the amaran spotlight works with the nanlite light? thanks!

Hey, i watched your Video about Filters and really liked it wanted to ask if you already tried out the scatter plugin for davinci and if you can recommend it?

How long can this light be on at maximum power without overheating?

Maybe I wasnt listening Close enough, but what mistakes did you mention to avoid when using wide apsrtures? For me it was only "These are use cases for wide aperture" 🤔

What is the difference with the 36

So let’s say if I wanted to shoot 120 frames per second can I still slow it down the same amount if I use a 125 shutter or I won’t be able to slow down as much to get the smoothness?

Thanks for the video, what do you use these days

great work

😳 "Promo SM"

I bought a 3 lens set of Sirui anamorphic lenses. I have only used them once and I am leary of renting them out so basically they sit on my shelf. You are so right in consider all your options. Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge and please keep creating.

Wow! You're back!

does the mount ever unscrew while using it? Im having issues with the quick release call mount slowly unscrewing from the camera.

im here for the leica m8

I've been using it for about a week and can't get comfortable wearing it. I keep putting way too much strain on my back. I've adjusted every which way, and I just get fatigued after an hour of use. What tips do you recommend? I use a tilta advance rig/ronin 3 Pro with an external monitor.
