- Is the Sony a6400 good for filmmaking? In this video I filmed a short cinematic intro with a fully rigged Sony a6400. I really loved the way my footage came out. I believe the Sony a6400 is a great camera for beginner filmmakers when used correctly.
Huge thanks to my buddy Adrian for all the amazing B-roll, check his IG out @fides_rex

Thank you 🥲🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I use the Sony a6400 for filmmaking & photography. It's a solid camera for what you get for the price. 🔥
Yes definitely! 💪🏼
I am a beginner filmmaker and I have a6400. Can you suggest a good lens? It will really help me start my cinematography journey I'm really confused.
@@KryshFilms i wanna know this too
@@KryshFilms sigma 30mm f1.4 pretty good
Or the 18-50 sigma@@replayyzvfx5961
Amazing video Wero! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching I appreciate it! 🙏🏼
absolutely love how this is cost friendly as well
Yes! Thats the best part!
Thanks for this video man, super helpful. I have a small rig cage and wooden grip on my a6400 already for better handling. I am now wanting to expand a more robust rig for when recording concert photos and videos.
I was hoping to ask you about external batteries and mounting options. I was looking into getting a NP-F970 and a dummy battery, but also curious as to how you have your battery setup. I won't be using an external monitor (yet) so having access to the flip up screen is still important for me right now.
What could you recommend for a battery solution either with what you have, or with a NP-F970?
So I only use this camera now for weddings as a b cam since it doesnt have recording limits. I use the battery grip for that, I have a video on that, but if you plan on using it handheld I would suggest the v mount. It will last all day and continue to work if you eventually go to cine bodies, but then you need a cage and rails and vmound adapter. The npf will also last since monitors tend to use those. Just figure out how to rig it. Hope this works 😅
@@JesusMartinezCreates the possibility are endless hahaha. I looked into some V mount options and other builds, but will have to spend a little more time understanding voltages and power draw. From what I know so far, is to not exceed 7.4v or 8v powering the camera?
I will likely have a tamron 11-20 f2.8 mounted on it, so i'd like to have it as modular as possible. That way I can go from wide video to wide photos without tools and and be more mobile.
@@asimgeekhan yeah possibilities are endless. Yeah I dont remember but vmount plates sometimes have those power putputs check before you buy one.
Thats tuff since you have to undo a lot of things. Really depends on your workflow, you might not even need the vmojnt if you go battery grip or lp mount. Good luck! I am still figuring out what works for me lol best is to have a second cam for photo ready to go or charge more and bring someone to do photo. Good luck 👋🏼
in order to rec handheld on 24p, and 25p you have to use tripod, gimbal, or steadycam without stabilization on the lense.
You can do handheld if youre not doing crazy movements. There no camera that can handle walking and look super smooth. Also, having a heavy rig would help stabilize more.
Stabilization in lens helps but doesnt solve the walking situation.
Thank you for your knowledge
I got you!
So cool! 😄
Thanks! Couldnt have done it without ny friends b-roll skills
Thanks so much! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! 🤙🏼
Thanks for this Reveiw , i am a newbie to camera in General im a music Engineer and im trying to get into making music video but so confuse on so many Different Camara and Dont know wich is wich im getting a6400 from a friend for 550 but it has lines on the LCd mirror ' can i use a6000 to make video or should i go with the a6400 although it has lines on thw LCD Monitor i woukd use a external ,Can you Helo me out hear
Hold up lines on the mirror? Like the sensor?
First make sure to take photos with it and test its working and only an lcd hardware issue.
If all is good then I would say get an external monitor and a cage for your camera since you plan on doing music videos. You can find around 150 for that and get a 35mm 1.8 or 24mm 1.8, or if you can a tamron 28-75. Also extra batteries. You can start with just cam and a lens but all those things will make you a better setup. They average $800 used on ebay
First, solid works!
Thank you! I really appreciate it!!!
This video is fire 🔥 thank you! I am a filmmaker and I use a7Riii’s and I was always curious about the a6400’s pretty solid camera and great operator of course.
Thank you so much I really appreciate it! Yeah just wanted to show that nowadays if the camera shoots 24fps and the lighting looks good you can make something that looks great ;)
Im thinking of picking up my a6400 again..I missed all the times I have with it...plus my full frame is getting heavy on me 🥲
this battery problem I have not had and done weddings and parties and even music videos I did get a cage and added a Matt box and mic light and the heavy set up gives you more steady shot but always stabilize on post and the optical steady shot is ok but not that good but when using the gimbal fixes that is a good b camera but still can pull of cinema video like he said doing things right
I use it on tripod as b cam. No limit recording and 4k 24. Its a great camera! Any camera can do cinema just need the right tools
great video thank you! Did you use 1080 for those slow-motion shots in the beginning?
Yes as it was mostl likely 120fps.
Question: I heard the Sony in camera colours are not great (that’s why I am drawn to the Fuji XE4’s film simulation) n to get true cinematic feel you need to do colour grading, meaning a no to me! But all other aspects this Sony wins! What’s your thought on this?
I love coloring and I am use to it. It is different ebery brand is different, but personally I like that I learned how to color it because I know I can color any color profile ti my liking
Dude, awesome video! Can you tell me how did you stabilize your videos in pos? Sony a6400 don't have IBIS, and my videos shake a lot kkk
I believe I added warp plus shot at 120fps or 60. Rigging it helps with it shaking less though
How are you getting the peaking and zebras on the monitor? As far as I can tell the A6400, annoyingly, does not send these to an external monitor, only on the in bulit screen
Monitors have zebras, most should have that and peaking, false color all the good stuff for exposures
Hey Man my issue with a6400 is that it does not have OSS and it is prone to micro jitter. now I was thinking which thing I should invest, gimbal or this smallright/accessories for making cinematic video?
It depends on the look youre going for, some people like the handheld look but if you want perfect smooth shots then gimbal.
One of the best videos about a6400 on CZcams! I am currently choosing between a6400 and Fuji xs10. Watched heaps reviews and quite a bit concerned with the terrible rolling shutter on a6400. May I ask how you deal with it? Thank you
You forget about it haha its bad but I think maybe once I did a hard pan and saw that. I mean I can only think of a rek komodo with a global shutter. Youll be fine unless you plan to do that a lot. I dont and at the price range it was perfect for me at the time it came out. I am a hybrid shooter though.
This is a cool rig 👍🏻 but I only want my naked fx6 because of the weight 😂 best cinematic greetings from germany
fx6 is the dream camera for me right now haha 😍 Hey, Greetings from San Diego California haha
Hey man im shooting long distance surfing videos. Could you help me out on which lens i should buy for some good zoom
Never shot that but I would look at all zoom lenses. Tamron has a 70-150 pretty cheap
Doing great!
Thanks! 🤙🏼
Having a problem trying to slow mo my videos what settings I need my a6400 to edit it in FCP so it won’t be choppy
In order to slow down the footage you have too shoot at higher than 24fps. The higher the frame rate, the slower you can go. 120fps gives you the slowest speed. Depending on your editing suite theres a percentage that the footage can get slowed depending in frame rates. I am sure you can fin on google but 60fps is 40% and 120fps is 20%. Anything past rhat becomes a bit choppy.
Your shutter speed also affect how smooth it is if your filming something in motion. I would crank shutter a but if you want that zero motion blur as its slowed down.
@@JesusMartinezCreates thank you bro
Debating between this and the sonyzve10 for filmmaking, any advice?
Look at your budget, havent followed zve to be honest
Hey man, does the atomos shinobi compatible with the Sony a6400?
Its compatible with every camera bro, all you need is the hdmi, I want to say its micro hdmi in the a6400
Damn !! This one is out of stock !
Check the used market or adorama and B&H. 🤙🏼
what picture profile do you shoot? and do you use luts in ur grading?
Hlg3 picture profile, shot on a6400 or a7iii. No luts, colored to rec. push orange and blue. Adjust skin tones.
Sony a6400 vs canon R10 me kon sa acha he cover song love story songs bnane ke liye please reply 🤍
to make music videos? Both are great I would argue the biggest factor is lighting!
Can we use full frames camera leases on a6400 ?
Yes, of cours it will hust have the crop factor but yeah you can
how would you attach the lens onto the body? Is it an adapter?
Yes!!!! You can adapt almost if not all vintage lenses on Sony
Any backpack recommends for this setup?
Theres too many options lol, lopeo is good or go amazon basics if you want
What manual lens u are using in this video? Looks great~!
I believe it was the helios lens or tamron 28-75 🤔
@@JesusMartinezCreates Thanks 😁
Wawo great
Thanks!
I sold my Sony a6400 after picking up a Fuji XT5 for photography, and regret it because its the only $900 camera that's great for filmmaking at this price range. I'm going to pick up another one.
Xt5 isnt good in video?
It's the user that makes video cinematic, not just slow motion mode...
Totally agree! but it is definitely nice to have another tool to use.
What lens did you use?
Probably tamron 28-75
Help here. I have a have an event soon , I have a Canon 90d and T7i Lenses Tamron 70--200 sigma 17 -50 2.8 a50 mm 1.8 Canon 85-135 They ask for pictures and video. I have a 1300k to buy a Tamron 24-7- or a Sony a6400 with a Sigma 16mm. I lke sony for the low lighjt video. What do u think una lens or camera and lens Thank you aso much
If you dont have a second can, I would buy that first. It is essential for video especially one man band events. One camera stays rolling while you change the other one ir roll on one and photos on other and of course now you have a backup camera for when one fails
@@JesusMartinezCreates I have a 90d and T7i I wan a Tamron 24 -70 or the Sony a6400
same here since most stuff I do is shot at sun down this camera is good for me for the price but about to get the bulk magic 6k pocket cinema camera to do cinema work
Sony zv e10 or a6400? For vídeo
Not sure on zv e10, your budget, and what you want to shoot.
Buy used and buy what fits your work.
I miss the Stabilsator at the A6400 :(
Sucked it didnt have internal stabilization 😿
What lens you used on video? Thanks
I believe sigma28-75

That doesn’t really look cinema in my opinion. Just look shot wide open.
All good, cinematic seems like a very subjective word. Just like talking about lighting or so. 🤙🏼
