Great job on the video Mike! Thanks for making it.
Thank you!
Looks beastyy loving the content man I’ve watched like 3 videos already💪
Thanks bro! I appreciate you stopping by!
Huge fan here! Thanks for making this!
Thanks for stopping by!
Love the blue cable!
Kondor blue makes some great stuff.
This is so cool dude please keep making fx30 videos
Is there something in particular you wanted to know more about the camera?
This top handle is sweet. I’m trying to find how to mount a monitor & transmitter at the same time. This is perfect. Going to get one thanks for sharing 🎉
Oh that's gonna be perfect for that! Thanks for stopping by!
Hollyland MARS M1 --it's a receiver, transmitter, and monitor all in 1
Nice, good video.
Thank you
Awesome video. Nice build. Any concerns with dummy battery burning the camera internals?
None so far.
Great build, thanks for sharing! Does the HDMI clamp not match up to the fX30's HDMI port?
Sorry, I didn’t try it with this build
Hello, very good your setup. I had a doubt. Does the FX3 battery cover have that hole for the fake battery cable? Did you have to leave it open?
Unfortunately there is no hole for the fake battery cable, can only remove the door if you don't want to have the door dangle.
Nice video! I'm waiting for mine in the mail. I shoot mostly vertical. Any advice as to rigging the FX30 to have a top handle and rig with the camera sideways?
I’m surprised that there is no cage with an arca swiss mount on the side. I think theyre probably emphasizing on the cinema part of this camera. I’m waiting on my Tilta cage but I am considering to just mount a quick release plate on the right hand side.

OMG at 2:50 - seriously, I didn't know about this and was so frustrated with my rig. Thanks for showing how it works! I laughed so hard at my own derpiness :S
There are still a couple rig parts that surprise me with that feature. It's not just limited to a brand of rigging parts haha.
Thanks man
Thanks for watching!
Nice vid and nice rig guy ! Love it.
But in your video you use a cage for the A7SIII and not the one linked in the description for the fx3 or fx30. Any reason?
When I built the rig in this video I didn’t yet get an FX30 rig. Highly recommend an FX3/FX30 cage over an A7SIII. If you needed to rig one up like me, just wanted to show it was possible.
I found out later that you could use an FX3 cage for the FX30 since its really the same body. The new cage I have now is labeled for the FX3 haha. Perhaps I’ll make a video on the actual cage I use now.
Such a beautiful rig ❤.
Is it possible to balance this entire rig with the RS3 PRO? Actually, I really wanna rig up my camera, but the problem is switching between rig and gimbal. And isn't it's pain in the ass to change the lens? Attaching the matt box again and again?
I haven’t used this kind of setup on a gimbal before but I would think it could, it just gonna be quite heavy.
And I prefer to use a zoom lens for the mattebox. Otherwise I have other rings for other lenses.
Nice setup! How do you use Variable ND's with the matte box?
I believe this one is the small rig matte box mini which has a filter ring adapter that you can attach a vnd to and the mattebox just mounts onto that bigger 95mm filter ring
Nice rig man, you're crushing it! I've been testing out a few different rigs for it as well. Looking forward to making a vid about it!
I’ll be in line to watch it. As a wedding videographer I’d imagine you’d keep your setup much lighter than what I put together 😆
Hey,
Awesome explanation for begginer like us,
But, i had some severels questions to ask you ;
Can i use the wikinou v mount battery to charge directly to the camera ( USB to USB type C ) it still charge so why do i need to buy ( dummy battery )
Plus i have a Feelwolrd F6 plus pro, do you think it ll work for this montor @7:51
i can just find the right cables and then i dont need to buy dummy battery ?
I appreciate the question!
You could also charge that way. That’s not a problem at all. It may not charge quick enough to keep the battery at 100% through USB-C. I didn’t want to have to change out Sony batteries in between. Either way, vmount battery or Sony battery, a battery will be changed eventually. I just change less frequently with just the dummy battery.
The feelworld plus pro should work with the setup. Just choose your battery solution.
@@MikeBSalazar thanks you for you comment, i'll buy the same setup as yours ? But I don't really understand what does the Tdap to Tdap do ? I just need to connected the Tdap from the battery V mount to the ( Tdap to Tdap ) and then I can connect my micro etc to the Tdap to Tdap right ?
what smallrig part did you zip tie the DTAP extension to? camera so messy/tidy professional. can’t wait to make my ZV-E10 look like a child’s messy room! great video!
This rod cheeseplate

thanks bro, perfect help!
Nice setup! Does kondor blue dummy battery give you any warnings with latest firmware update?
It does now unfortunately so i just deal with it and just check my vmount battery life instead.
@@MikeBSalazar Sony is so dumb...they should atleast produce their own line of dummy batteries so we wouldn't be forced to use the damn Type C input...
這器材裝完之後感覺超專業
Exactly! But most of the time I like to keep it minimal haha
Nice Rig 💯💯
Thank you bro! Happy holidays!
That is some serious gear!! Sony sponsorship coming soon.
Pwedeng freebies muna? Haha
what did you use to mount the 4 in one d tap to the rig
I used velcro and zip ties to put the 4 and 1 to a Camvate cheeseplate.

Hey Mike! One more question if I may...I will get the FX30 this month and I intend to learn it and then do a 2 camera shoot-just an interview...I will use my SOny a6400 and my FX30...for easy to use I use a Neutral creative style on the A6400 -I just reduce the saturation and contrast and sharpness a bit and it looks good enough straight out of camera-some lumetri helps a bit...but I don't think the FX30 has creative styles-just the logs or not...correct? the easiest would be S-Cinetone (pp11 correct)...will this be the closest I will get to matching the video quality to my a6400? how would you try to match them? thanks man
Hey Erick! Good question. Personally I would shoot S-Log 2 on the A6400 and S-Log 3 on the FX30. I haven't used S-Cinetone much, especially when matching with my A6400. I can give it a shot this week, if your interview is not coming up too soon.
@@MikeBSalazar fantastico! Does the fx30 have a neutral creative style? I just want footage that is almost ready to use as is. My project is next month. No rush. Thanks
@@erickperdomo277 Yes, the FX30 does have neutral creative style and other creative styles. I'll attempt to get both to match with minimal adjustments out of both.
@@MikeBSalazar hey hey..I decided to get the FX30 yesterday...impulsive I know! and I spent a few minutes setting it up. I got 2 genuine Sony batteries for now..I got a third party charger-Neewer-I think a third party charger will be ok, but I will buy only genuine Sony batteries to avoid issues. I may get a cage or not...I think I'll be able to match the FX30 with my a6400. I will do some testings this week. I will use my Sony 18-105mm f4 mostly...I have a sigma 16mm f1.4...that's it...but I don't have a decent "low light" lens...should I go for the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8? how much of a difference there is between a f2.8 and my f4? I wish there was a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 for Sigma (I have the Canon version and I know there is a Sigma adapter to adapt Canon lenses to E mount but I'm not sure it will be as good for autofocus etc)...anyway...not sure the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 will be A LOT better than my f4....I guess f2.8 is the best there is when it comes to zoom lenses for Sony APSC? Another option would be to get a Sigma 30mm f1.4...what would you do? Thanks so much
@@TheFandangovideoguy The autofocus of the Sigma 18-35mm with the SIgma mc-11 adapter is so good the out looks native. just be mindful of audible focusing noise.
If you need the extra stop of light and you are really running and gunning, the F/2.8 from Sigma 18-50 will help. I haven't used it before but others claim its of great value for the price. I've used the sigma 30mm and that's an excellent value there already and if you need to zoom in you could clear image zoom on the right hand zoom rocker on the camera.
If low light is your priority, Sigma 30mm is the choice. Versatility? Choose Sigma 18-50. For the form factor of both you can't lose. If you're lighting your interview well, the 18-105 can carry you, the sigma 30mm f/1.4 will be best for image quality and low light.
is this camera good for vlogging? or would you prefer the a7siii
Oh this camera is great for vlogging! Much smaller profile using aps-c lenses too like the 10-18mm or 11mm that Sony just released.
Both of them have flip out screens, it's a matter of what lens you'll stick in front of your camera.
@@MikeBSalazar would you be able to tell me if it could easily just look like the first 5 seconds of Alex Eubanks latest video? i love how it looks
Isn't it a problem that you can't turn the fx30 build in screen?
Could do that if I wasn’t outputting the camera settings to the monitor. But moving forward I won’t be displaying the camera settings out thru hdmi.
maby try a cine lens now you have a cine camera like the - Samyang 35mm t1.9 V-AF FE (lens series) or rokinon cine DS(x) lens series
I think I saw Patrick Tomasso use this lens, beautiful imagery out of these.
You didn't show how the camera battery is attached to the v-mount battery.
Sorry, it was rather quick around the 08:15 mark. But the dummy battery was connected to the 4-in-1 dtap adapter.
Total cost to rig it up?
$1450 depending on sale items, and if you already own some of these items like a monitor, or audio solution you’ll utilize.
a6700 or the fx30?
Depends what you need. That video will also be in my pipeline
@@MikeBSalazar I’m a content creator, film for clothing brands, music videos and nightclubs/events. I just want something that is a nice upgrade from my a6400 but will do me good for the me good for the next few years.
@@veezybombay The a6700 is a great tool that can maximized by a pro creator like yourself, but if you’re going heavy on the video I highly recommend the FX30. First off, dual SD cards, avert the risk from the possibility of a single SD card corruption. Second, overheating will never be a problem. Three, longevity. Even if you decide to go full-frame or upgrade entirely to a new camera, the camera itself is a workhorse and I believe it’ll hold it’s value not just in the market but also for the job to be able to perform. You can still use the cam interchangeably as an A-cam or B-cam for future rigs for future projects.
That 1000 monetisation is coming in thick and fast
Slow and steady haha
This guyyyy 😅😅, no
whats the matter Alex?😆
why on earth someone might need to build this kinda of a rig, it's heavy and you can shoot nicely without this bulky thing, just use a gorilla pod and microphone. I don't get this building rig thing
It depends on the project. I also prefer a lighter setup, but if needed, one could rig up a bigger monitor for visibility, battery solution for camera and monitor, filters with a matte box, and maybe want more handheld look with the whole rig as a counterweight.
