The man, The myth, The TONG!! Gotta love rain always makes for some great vibes. Since you’re so close you should check out the whirlpool hike if you haven’t, lots of stairs but a cool spot!
100% and it's not mentioned enough. In fact! There are so many influencers that discourage the use of cinematic luts. I mean no one is telling them what to do so what gives them the right to tell others what they can't and can't do.
Nice video, I try also a lot on my FX30. In the meantime I bought the 35+90 mm lenses from Sigma I series. But anyhow, I wonder which rain cover will fit better, the. Small or medium size ? Best greetings from Germany again
Thank you! That is a pretty big lens right? I would get the medium size to be honest. The one I have is pretty snug. If the cover is a little big it doesn't really matter but if it's too small then you won't be able to use it. I got a small :P It just fits
Thanks a lot, i've been enjoying your vlogs with the fx30. I'm slowly considering owning one as a first personal camera to start as a freelance filmmaker. I'm used to shoot with Sony A7iii and A7Siii and fx3 but i was looking for less weight camera that is as good as them. Cheers from France !
What's up! France is on my bucket list :) I have a lot of family there and they are always bothering me to go visit. I suppose the FX30 would be lighter than the FX3 because APSC glass is lighter but not by much. Have you looked in to the ZV-E1? That's a much smaller camera, but then again it is a full-frame camera so the lens will be heavier. There's also the new a6700 that has features the FX30 doesn't have but has the same sensor but is smaller.
I have the FX3 and the FX30. Now, I am basically only using the FX30. The quality is amazing and the lighter APSC lenses help bring the weight down. Love the FX30.
@@CoachBay Wow really? That's great to know that the FX30 can hang with the FX3. Isn't the FX30 a bit sharper as well? Not like sharpness matters to me. I usually unsharpen everything in post anyway but that's an advantage for many as well.
@@noisackda2564 Yes, really! The FX3 is better, but I only do TH-cam videos and all my recordings are outdoor. So weight is important and the FX30 quality is more than enough. I recently started shooting SLOG3. Still early days, but it definitely improves the video quality.
*I Love the FX30 as I have one, but S-Log is a challenging thing to Color Correct lmao. But I'm learning. Nice Video, what Lens are you using that's weather Proof*
Thank you! Are you preloading a lut for preview? I find that helps me out a lot with LOG footage. Also, get a variable ND filter and use that to expose instead of relying on the camera settings. It's a little ghetto but it works very well for me. I'm actually using a full frame lens for this vlog. The new Viltrox lens. I'm also using a peak design rain coat over the camera.
@@noisackda2564 I just import a few LUTS that way I can just select what I want & Hit Record .I don't use ND Filters much unless I'm outside doing recordings but I like that kinda Neutral Look so it makes me have to learn Color Grading
Your color grades remind me that full frame isnt everything. Colors are RICH on the FX30, dam! What iso do you stick to?? Cine EI? Or did you use flexible?
@@noisackda2564 hell yeah 👍 but seriously how you grade makes me wanna shoot more with the fx30 and really hammer down on slog3. Looks way too good not to. And with a billion colors I think I'll be set lmao
I love that your family is getting more comfortable with you vlogging! Thanks for the tips too. I keep fighting setting my shutter at 100+ but I think the "rule" should be that if you're handheld you should just do it. Save the perfect 180 degree shutter for static shots on a tripod. We've had several conversations about it and you keep saying it but I think it just clicked for me.
It's an overrated rule. For feature films under the perfect circumstances, it should be abided by but for vlogging. Naw, just crank that thing as high as you want. It makes zero difference. It's ironic that these influencers are always repeating this rule of doubling shutter speed to framerate when they are trying so hard to get others to not shoot cinematically lol. I don't tell anyone but most of my outdoor footage is shot at around 1/250-300 and yet no one is saying, Wow! That looks unnatural. Thanks for your constant support Tim :) PS. Family still hates the vlogging thing haha. I'm just more sneaky about it.
@@noisackda2564 Also good to know. I think a lot of these influencers are cinematographers trying to teach people to vlog. I also have a theory that vlogging is not actually "dead." It's that the TH-cam algorithm prefers people talking about products so the ads will have more impact on the audience. Camera companies know vlogging isn't dead and that's why they're making cameras with vlogging features. I just saw the Fuji SX-10 has a dedicated "vlog" mode on the dial!
@@TimBrownTown I think you're right. TY has very little to gain from people talking about their lives. They just want you to sell stuff and use their tools. Makes complete sense TBH. If you're not a tech guy then expect very slow growth. You got to be in this for other reasons other than monetary gains. For me, I didn't even know vlogging was a thing lol. I just did this because I used to work for a TV station and I knew how much it costs to get a 15 second spot on TV. I thought to myself we have this thing called YT that is free. Why am I not utilizing it to document my family life so here I am.
@@noisackda2564 it's definitely not about monetization for me. That's just icing on the cake if it ever happens. I enjoy it so much, I'll be making videos 20+ years from now even if I never get monetized. But I do see a lot of other TH-camrs in the cruising/travel genre whose content isn't that good but they're able to do it full time. That would be my dream job.
I'm using a FF lense here. The Viltrox 16mm F1.8. Not my first choice for this camera but it was the only lens I brought with me at the time. Not bad though.
Thank you! First off is expose properly. I shoot in SLOG3 because it can give you good dynamic range. I will then apply a lut that I like, like a phantom lut and then I would tweak that until I like it.
I wish I could help out with this but I have zero experience with external powerbanks. Check this out. I've also looked in to the small rig external charge blocks. Those look good as well. th-cam.com/video/iAdtcKuT4Jg/w-d-xo.html
@@noisackda2564 I bet if you were to vlog more about life in general people would dig it, whether you film it with a GoPro or an FX30. You're quite the character, pity you vlog solely about cameras and lenses you use. Just sayin'.
@@noisackda2564 Do a 'food prepping vlog' or something... Just for the fun of it. Using both, the FX30 and the ZVe1 (adding a lower third like: 'shot w/FX30 // Shot w/ZVE1'). I'm sure you (or your wife) can cook some amazing meals... Win-win! We learn to cook AND we see the indoor/'available light' performance of both cams. It's funny when people film in busy well-lit streets and they call it a 'low light test'. :P :D haha.
@@travisdaki Yo you know what's funny? I've been asking my sisters if they want to do a YT cooking show. My eldest is a phenomenal cook. I think it would slay. Traditional Laos/Thai food channel.

Hahaha!
I've been! It's beautiful! One of my favorite places.
Thank you for the inspiration. I really enjoy how you do what you do.
I appreciate this :)
I agree. For the color grading and the luts, it's all about what you like and how you want it to look like. I enjoy the vlog a lot.
100% and it's not mentioned enough. In fact! There are so many influencers that discourage the use of cinematic luts. I mean no one is telling them what to do so what gives them the right to tell others what they can't and can't do.
Love your videos, for someone who just got an FX30 what would you recommend as your favorite versatile lens for it?
Thank you so much! To me, it's the Sony 16-55mm F2.8. It's a bit expensive but the next best thing is the Tamron 17-70 or Sigma 18-50.
The best cinematic vlogging ever !!Bravo !
Thank you!!!! Best comment ever!!!
I also love filming and shooting in the rain. And I find slightly underexposure beautiful.
I think we have the same preference for aesthetics :)
Gorgeous video as usual. Plus, great advice for new filmmakers.
:) Thanks so much
Awesome Video! Which phantom lut did you use for this video?
I'm using the Arri phantoms luts for Sony

Man. Every time I watch your vlogs it makes me want to move to Canada. What luts are you using?
Canada used to be awesome, but the cost of living puts a damper on things. I'm using phantom luts. It's my go-to now.
Loving the look!
Thank you :)

16mm
Did you exposed it +1.7 ?
I wouldn't even know how lol
