Building a Minimal Sony FX6 Cinema Rig in 2022 – Full Breakdown and Parts List
Hey everyone!
Thank you for your patience in between my last build and this latest video. I appreciate all of the support and outreach I received because of that video and am looking forward to uploading more this year. Let me know what you think of this video and FX6 build in the comments!
--
The Sony FX6 is an amazing camera, and can be used on location for filming straight out of the box. That being said, a few basic upgrades for this camera make it a robust system for filmmaking across various the industry. In this video, I breakdown all of the components I've added to my FX6 to build it into a minimalist, handheld cinema camera. I've included chapters and a parts list below for anyone interested in building a similar setup.
Enjoy!
--
*Also, I've uploaded this video several times and cannot for the life of me get the banding to go away. Apologies if it's frustrating, but at this point I'm just going to leave the video up and work on reducing dark backgrounds in my futures videos.
Thanks!

Building the Ultimate Sony FX3 / A7SIII / A7IV Cinema Rig in 2023 - Full Breakdown and Parts List
มุมมอง 225K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Update! I've added A7SIII and A7IV to the title of this video because majority of the parts are applicable to both models, the only difference being the actual cage for whichever model you end up buying. The Sony FX3 is an amazing camera, but doesn't live up to its fullest potential straight out of the box. In this video, I breakdown all of the components I've added to my FX3 to build it into a...
A Day at the Beach (Cinematic FX3 Footage) | Sony FX3 | 20mm 1.8 G | Phantom LUTs
มุมมอง 20K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This summer I brought my FX3 along to a client shoot my wife and I had at Crescent beach in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. I ended up filming some BTS and B roll of the shoot and of our model Gabby while she was posing. All of the clips in this sample footage video were filmed with the Sony FX3 and graded with the recently updated "Neutral Legacy" LUT from the Phantom LUTs pack by Joel Famularo. I reco...
Date Night at Trundy | Sony FX3 | 20mm 1.8 G | Phantom LUTs
มุมมอง 11K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Earlier this Summer my wife and I would regular this little secret spot near town for date night. The rocky outcropping that forms this shallow cove really makes the view of Casco Bay amazing. I happen to bring along my Sony FX3 with me on this particular evening and tested out the 20mm 1.8 G lens. I love the versatility of this wide-angle lens, and the minimal distortion makes for a really nic...
A Long Weekend in Surry | Sony FX3 | 35 1.4 GM | Phantom LUTs
มุมมอง 15K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Some friends and I took a trip up to a cabin in Surry, Maine this past weekend and had the chance to test out the Sony 35mm 1.4 GM with my current handheld setup. All of the clips in this video are filmed with the Sony FX3 and graded with "Neutral Legacy" LUT from the Phantom LUTs pack. It was recorded to Prores 422HQ with an Atomos Ninja V. Only small tweaks were made to contrast and HSL for p...
An Afternoon at the Studio: Filmed on the Sony FX3
มุมมอง 2.9K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Tested out the new Sony FX3 with my wife in our photo studio. This footage was filmed in SLog3 using the in-camera LUT for exposure and lightly graded in Final Cut Pro. All shots were using the Canon 50 1.2L EF adapted to the camera. Hope you enjoy it!

    Sony dedicates millions of $ in R&D to craft a nice compact camera, just for us to spend an addition $2000 to build them out to a larger form factor of an FX6 without XLRs, Built-in VNDs, or button layout :( FX3 Rig: $5400 FX6: $4800 (used market)

    connecting both monitor and camera to the same v-lock there is the risk of a short circuit, it has already happened to me on two cameras, I burned two HDMIs, I don't understand why all the TH-camrs continue to assemble rigs in this way without warning of the possible risks.

    Enjoyed it 2 years later, still very relevant. If you’re still answering questions, here is mine: what makes you trust the hot shoe mount with all of this weight when there are so many stories of failure at this mount leading to rigs crashing to concrete? I have been trying to figure out how to start an A7iv rig with a full cage, top handle, monitor, and mic, but the mic is the problem. There are some great Sony mics for the hot shoe, but they all seem to be severely compromised as soon as you mount a cage/top handle setup. Your mic setup here, connected with a 3.5mm jack, seems to be the best solution?

    First off, thanks for the video, great seeing some of the accessories in use. However, it would have really been useful, if you had lit the whole thing a bit more high-key. I get it, moody is nice and all, but I guess since this video had more of a functional purpose it's kind of a bummer that at times I could barely see what you were building.

    Hey Jared! Really enjoyed both your FX6 and FX3 builds; I've done similar builds to both of mine, but it's def been cool to see your approach. Do you still plan on doing head-to-head comparions of both cameras? any other upcoming content regarding each camera that you plan to film and share, as you mentioned at the end of both videos? Keep up the great work!

  • @KarenFoote
    @KarenFoote 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hi Jared, very cool video. I know you've moved on from this rig but you mentioned you removed the Tilta amount plate latch and got the idea from Caleb. In the video you link to, I don't see him using the Title plate nor how to remove the latch. How did you remove the latch on the Tilta? Is it just a matter of removing the 3 screws holding the v mount? If so, can you give a link to your screwdriver cause dang they're pretty stubborn for me. Thanks!
