Update

Does the camera require external recorder ?

You can send it in and get the up grade to 4k

I’ve been there with a light that’s too bright as is. To overcome this you can use an ND filter to decrease your exposure, this will mean you have to turn up the other ambient lights or accent lights, but it’s always nice to have the option to stop down or have power to bounce or add layers of diffusion. I’m more often wishing I had more light v. having too much but in your use case I totally understand.

Hi, Nice video. I own this flapjack too and I confirm : 1% is much brighter than one percent. BUT, why did you make diaper diffusion ? Just use Lee filter or Rosco ND sheet 0.6 (2stops) or 0.9 (3 stops). I agree it's not ecological (waste of electricity) on the long run but a cheap efficient solution.

Awesome video! I have that camera, and I am going to buy a second one; I am so happy!

I bought this camera when it first came out. I love it. I really have no need for 4/6/8 K so 1080 does fine for me. I use it professionally and have it well rigged out for under $1000 (no cage but everything else). Thanks for the video. These always reassure me that I bought a decent camera and it still shoots well - 12 years later. No repairs

IS IT WORTH BUYING TODAY???

I have this camera (love it!!). Did the update and bought a Atomos Ninja V+ to make it 4K. Hooked it up via HDMI and can’t make it record 4K. I looked into why and it only outputs to 4K through SDI output on the camera. How did you go about getting 4K into your Atomos??

Junk

Thanks for positing this, mate!

I see some for 1000€ 550€

Bought one today! Awesome video! 🎉

hello, i have it with atomos shogun and it is still a good tool !! please, what is the reference of your side handle ?

Hi im a bit confused ivs seen a fs700u online quite cheap. If i buy it can i still record 4k with an external recorder or is this not possible because is "u" instead of "r" . . ? Will i need to send the camera to Sony? Also ive heard that the internal codec of this camera is super compressed does that mean is not good ? Im new to film so not very good with terms. Thanks

I still use my FS700 in 2023. Bought it with the external 4K recorder.

I have feeling that there was some kind of blur or softness. Don’t know if that’s the lens but I won’t say it’s image is sharp. I’m thinking hard about this camcorder but I’m afraid to switch from bmpcc 4K as I want system integrity for my pro work. It’s definitely different case for hobbyists and guys working for money on it. I need to add also monitor ninja v cost. This way u get price of decent black magic 4K that have everything inside and cheaper! Mounts than Sony lens does. In summary for pros - I’m not convinced too much. It’s more of “ah and ohs” than pro thinking which I totally get. Thanks anyway

I have one of these lights. Been using it for several years and love it. Soft beautiful light, excellent color.

4:52 Pro-Tip: Just push the HOLD-Button in the direction of the arrow and you will never have the problem by pushing accidentially other buttons during recording. You can even specify in the settings which function the HOLD Button does for you. I accidentially pushed the IRIS-Push Button during recording and the picture became darker which was not intended by me. So, please activate this small button left to the battery release before starting the record and you are good to go. You will never ever have this issue again.

For me the menu system is more tactile than today's DSLR options and very easy to work. This can shoot 4K with upgrade and external recording device like Atomos Shogun.

I have to buy lights for youtube and im much confused between godox softbox light and this circle light

Very informative video presented extremely well. Thank you!

Question for you, and it may have already been asked, what is the name of that side handle you have? I have had this camera for 6 years now and never seen that before.

Glad I watched this, I will keep my Godox!

I believe this camera shoots 4k with a firmware update

noticed your not making videos anymore??? did you make it as a film maker or give up on youtube? takes about 4-5 years to get a following and a successful channel

good video thanks! did they send you the light to review?

I was checking this out as one is for sale on Faceboook. I have Minolta (Sony 35mm) lens and I wondered if they would fit the camera. ALSO A sIGMA sONY-aUTOFOCUS ZOOM. The idea of adding a Ninja V for 4K has me excited if the lens fit.

Great review. Going for a Godox now

love your videos!!!! so much helpfull info!

Same here. DIY is much cheaper and more flexible in terms of making the tools we needed. Keep up the good work! I am also Canadian and aspiring to become an independent filmmaker.

I'm looking to buy one of these in excellent/mint condition for $500 and it comes with a Sony 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens, Metabones EF to E mount adapter, 2 NP-F970 Sony batteries, shotgun microphone, viewfinder loupe, side grip, and 4K RAW is installed already. It has been advertised for the last two days and was still available. After watching your presentation here I think it a good idea to pick this one up.

Having serious noise issues with this camera and Shogun 7. Can you help. Thanks Marc

what is the

May pick up one for $500

thanks for the video!!

How did you get your free world monitor work for you? I got one but when I use an hdmi cable it shows no signal on it. Is it possibly something to do with my fs700??

Hi i have fs 700r how can i firmware update please

354 subs!? I was expecting to see at least 20k!! Amazing channel pal, I'm only at roughly 2k myself, so I know the content creator effort! Keep it up!

It have nice 4K RAW output in recorder like Atomos (240 fps in 2K). Timecode and etc...

This review does not show how GREAT this light is. I use 80 % of Neewer products and they are some of the best in my opinion

Glad I saw this vid. I have the exact same Godox SL60W / Neewer softbox combination as you and can 100% relate to the overhead with setting it up and using it (because of its size)... I think you've just saved me some trouble because this light doesn't sound like it delivers on its promise. That is CRAZY bright at 1%. Have heard other reviews say the same thing. Thank you my dude 🙏

Aw bro, hear your bro, thanks for your encouragements!

Price?

What camera settings are you using when it’s too bright? I’m particularly interested in your shutter, f stop and iso. looking at getting this light for a small space, but now I’m thinking it might be too bright.

Awesome explanation! I just order this from Ebay. I was wondering How Could I use Canon Lens onto this FS700

Yikes man, that really sucks. I'll be praying for you! Those row boats at camp sure are heavy aren't they?

That's some cool knowledge right there I've been meaning to switch to DaVinci so this helps out a lot

The clip backwards thing I have done on purpose in music videos. A perfect zoom by manually setting up a close up ( exposure, focus, depth of fields etc.) then pull the camera backwards or pan away. When you reverse it, you end up with a shot where it all comes into focus and exposure etc. on a zoom. Really difficult to pull off without doing that effect. Especially the focus pull. Good tips, there.

Are there any cheap, adjustable flashlights with good CRI (to use as a backlight)? "adjustable" because I a have a conventional flashlight (Gearlight) and noticed has many practical uses in diverse situations because is adjustable.
