03:37 Who is this cam for?
04:04 Outro
This is an absolutely correct point.
FX6 or FX6 + FX3 (one or more) - for production.
FX3 for shooting with one or two people. a7sIII is a great camera for multimedia designers and journalistic types of work where you are able to mix video and photo.
Exactly, had it all day today at the fair press center: produce photos + reels, preferably quickly and should be out on the same day.
btw, A7Siii has its viewfinder, perfect for photos.
I’m in agreement. I shoot corporate video. My FX-6 is my A-Cam for my workflow for talking heads, interviews, training videos, etc. I use the FX-3 for all of my B-roll Gimbal shots and also as a B-Cam for a second camera angle when necessary.
Dude that is the most beautiful intro I've ever seen on TH-cam. The music selection, lighting, focus ramp, everything is perfect! Great script, awesome delivery. Keep it up man!
Hahah thank you man!
Do you think it is better to make less often but more cinematic videos or rather not perfect but more frequently? 🤓
Love this camera! Great video dude
Thanks man! Your subscription would be really appreciated. 🤟😁
amazing video !!! keep going
thanks man!
Hi! Really nice video! Also have Fx6 and I love this camera. Along with my a7sIII which I mostly use for gimbal work/ FX6 has a one huge benefit for me - I started to shoot more handheld and more creative stuff, rather than just overusing my gimbal with a7sIII and creating the same boring paralax shots ;-)
Yeah, true!
I've been less and less on gimbal lately.
I think a good variety between gimbal and handheld is important.
Handheld has a very cinematic look!
Love the FX6 it’s a compact power house.Yeah there is some minor short comings but not deter mental.The suggestion of an aftermarket top handle is great.I would add a after market viewfinder display as well,as it is mediocre.
yeah, we can not have it all, its a great workhorse for most of my jobs, if jobs getting bigger, I will rent a different cam.
it's funny that' you say the xlr is a disadvantage for the camera, but that's exactly why i'm going to get the fx6, it has native support for mhk 416, which is superior to the rode and the dji mics lol. am i a professional? am i doing it for commercial use? am i even a cinematographer? nope. i'm just buying it for the xlr to record my daily exercises. why? because the xlr and i'm using it for dedicated videos.
I still use smaller Sony mirrorless bodies for a large majority of my work and the single biggest issue for me is timecode. All of my shoots are multi-camera with separate audio. I'm holding out for the release (hopefully) of the A7SIV before making a decision on purchasing a cinema body - until then, I'll keep renting. IF the A7SIV camera comes out, and IF it has decent timecode in/out capability, that would solve a lot of problems for me. The lack of IBIS in the FX6 is also a bit of an issue for my work - no fun to film Pro Rodeo with no stabilization!
hahah I JUST EDITED MULTICAM without timecode today 😫
Its ok for smaller projects, but we hat 3 cameras, 2-3 LED screens... nightmare
But you can use timecode on the A7Siii but through audio... not that great, but should work.
@@maxsautner I just got a shipping notice on the Rode Wireless PRO I ordered. It'll be interesting to see what the actual timecode capabilities are of that unit.
This is a nice system! I need to review it! 🤩
@@maxsautner I placed my order over a month ago and just got notice yesterday that it has shipped. I've used the Hollyland Lark 150 up until now. The 32-bit float recording capability of the Wireless PRO is what pushed me over the edge to buy it. I hope to make a review for my channel once it gets here.
Yeah, but you could go cheaper with the previous ride go, it also has 32 Bit recording but the new rode includes Timecode! This would be my personal reason to buy it!
thanks - and for narrative work - short films and independent movie makers...
hmm, good to know!
I have absolutely no experience in this area, I work mainly in the commercial, industrial sector...
Thanks for the tip buddy!
@@maxsautner Nice video, thanks. Got the fx6 myself.
I'd say go with Blackmagic for sure ;) I have a Sony FX3, FX6 and a Blackmagic Pocket 6k Pro, and I prefer the look of the Blackmagic (It's like a baby ARRI). Both company brands make amazing image quality but my Pocket 6k Pro produce a more "organic" look (I know I know, everyone is talking about that but what does that mean?). The Blackmagic has better texture I would say (not scientific at all), you can see every details without being being artificially sharpened, and the skin tones looks more true to life. For my part I love my Sony's when I need to be as quick as possible : events, commercials/corporate/documentaries,... and I use the Pocket 6k when I want the best image quality (music videos, narrative work, commercials, short films,..).
Edit: sorry I didn't realize you just bought the FX6 😅 Don't worry it's an amazing cameras that can do everything!
@@jsleger3404 Blackmagic is awesome! Love the products, but the body shape of this cam is unsatisfying 😄
Imagine: BMPCC 6k + Sony AF & VND 🤤
@@maxsautner I totally agree, the body shape is so weird, that's one of the reason I bought the Sony's 😅
At first, my plan, was to switch from BM to Sony (because I have a lot of run'n'gun shoots), so I was planning to sell the Pocket 6K pro, but even if my wallet is not happy at all, I think I'm gonna keep it for personal projects and music videos.
I tried a bunch of cameras (Canon R5, R5C, R6, C70, almost every Sony cameras, Blackmagic Pocket 6k Pro, GH5, EVA 1, ARRI Amira) and the Blackmagic is #2 in image quality, #1 is the Arri Amira (it's just something else 🥰). There is something in the image of the Blackmagic that I love, I can't really explain what, it's perhaps how it renders textures (like the Arri). The Sony's has also great image quality but I feel it's not really that good with fine details (skins, textures in general), I feel like a lot of the times it looks a bit "plasticy" (if you know what I mean).
I know that we can add diffusion filters and use vintage lenses to decrease the "digital" look, but even with all of that, it will never be the same, because of the lack of details (not sharpness).
Therefore I think the new Sony cameras are still the best for run n guns projects and also for the rest but it really shines when you need to be as quick as possible.
I had the exact same cameras: a7Sii, GH5s, and a7Siii. No FX6 for me though... yet
Yet! 😎
I know it's a pain, but to overcome the audio issue, couldn't you get the hotshoe extension cable? Maybe mount the handle to the gimbal?
would be really cool, but unfortunately that's not a hot shoe...
I'm actually considering buying a second FX6 handle and building my own little box and make it open source for other creator.
I worked as an electronics technician before my full-time film job and have access to industrial machines...
Let's see if it's worth the time, I´m pretty busy the next months.
That's a good point, I didn't know that! Helps me with the situation prior to buying the camera so I appreciate the response! Please cover it if you find a way!
Ich habe auch die FX6 und habe fast ein Jahr gebraucht, um sie zu verstehen 😂 now I love my FX6 😍 beste filmerische Grüße aus Oberfranken
Bleib dran! Ich werde die kommenden Wochen noch viele tutorials machen.
Liebe Grüße zurück!
@@maxsautner Klaro 👍 hätte fast vergessen, Dich zu abonnieren 🤦♂️ jetzt aber erledigt ☑️ we stay in contact 💪🏻
@@schoeferfilm spiele mit dem Gedanken mir dieses Teil zu kaufen. Kannst du es empfehlen auch für den mobilen Einsatz alleine, Urlaubsvideos etc.?
@@janw1982 mobiler Einsatz alleine: Ja
Urlaub ist mir too much (mit dem ganzen Geraffel (Objektive, Gimbal, etc.).
Wenn ich meine FX6 auch noch in den Urlaub mitnehme, bin ich glaube ich, bald single 🤓
Tue dir das lieber nicht an... maximal ne 7S oder FX3, sonst brauchst du einen Koffer mehr.
Aber jeder muss selber wissen, was er im Urlaub so macht... ✌
how do I connect my iphone to the camera?
🤙 ill make a video on that one too, if there is some interest
Hello friend this camera Sony fx6 is amazing, more unfortunately I live in a country that the tax is very high ie Brazil this camera sony fx6 costs equivalent to $ 60,800 dollars we United States more and the value of it is 60,800 reais here in Brazil ... I'm going to make a virtual kitty to friends for me to buy one because I'm low income and can not buy and maybe with the help of friends youtubers can help buy this camera.
If you want to experience real tax pain, you have to work in Germany for a bit! 😂
im buying just camera for selfies
Yes, that was my first trigger to buy it too!
@@maxsautner I knew i was on the right rack great advice I am subscribing ! I can use my iphone charger for this right?
@@tonyamartin1425 not yet, but iPad! 😂
