Excellent video! Fantastic editing! Great content!

The FDR-AX700 was released back in 2017, and has been discontinued. I suppose you could buy one used, or still may be able to find a new copy somewhere, but pretty hard to recommend in 2024/2025. Sony did release the new HXR-NX800 in 2024, which is a professional camcorder with a 1" sensor. At $3,300 USD, it's a lot more expensive than the AX700 - but worth it IMO as it is a massive upgrade over the AX700. I hope Sony will release a proper successor to the AX700 at some point, ideally by taking the lens and sensor from the NX800 and putting them in a smaller, more prosumer focused body.

Man this is thee video I've been looking for. I also shoot wedding plus many quinceaneras and I've been searching to see if a camcorder would work for my events. I shoot with Panasonic s5iis but would like to add a camcorder just for extra footage and angles. I may invest in the ax700 after watching your video

Thank you so much for this video! I was at a loss to think of a good birthday gift for my husband, but your video gave me great ideas! I also appreciate the links to specific brands and items that are known to be reliable.

The best feature of those cameras is Zoom.I m planning to buy only because of that

Hey man, I'm a freelance designer, can I help you design some artworks to use as merch print for your fans to buy and it can help me to afford a camcorder too?

Cool to see someone else put a mic up on the couples table. Also why I use at least 3 cameras. And audio sources. I've definitely had DJ's tell me they would wait for me then immediately bail on that and move on before I was ready

Dude your videos are way better than many popular channels. May the subscribes with you. ✌🏻

And I got the rocket blower, wrist rest, monitor light and label maker. Great ideas. He makes his videos mainly for concerts. He is self taught. And he has everything or what he wants is very expensive. Hopefully he likes these gifts. Question, he needs something to hold his camera so he can be hands free. Are those universal, like clips to attach to the camera? And are memory cards specific to the camera? I’m trying to find out things for him without asking :) thank you 😊

Your first three things on the list go to just the chords. Just letting you know:)

oh boi !!! i can see the price tag rising up now !!!

It looks like camcorders are not updated anymore. Is it so?

I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm from Brazil, and I just found your channel, and there are really little things that we don't notice, but they make a big difference. Keep up the incredible work!

Louis sounds like a dick head

Make nice tutorial of the camera, that would be awesome as i dont really see any on youtube.

Was this shot with AX700?

Tripods should legally have to all have the same mount 😤

Great Job as a wedding videographer I appreciate the effort you are putting in. Great work 👍

B all the way!!!!

Like watching your videos. What did you use for your voice over

Beautiful couple

Stunning 😍

I subscribed, you do too. Bro

Thank you very much for your video. I also have the AX 700 so I wanted to ask, what plate and rig are you using or would recommend for it? Are there any other accessories you would recommend for it? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. I was on the fence about 1 inch type of camcorder. Between Sony AX700 and Canon XA70/75, which one will you recommend?

Congratulations ladies. Have a great life together ❤😊

great shots with that camera . i found the optical steady shot in the fdr ax 53 has been invaluable . it is kinda like a gimbal in the camera with digital and i think sensor stabilization combined . i do not think the sensor stabilization and digital stabilization in things like the fx3 has caught up to the stability on offer by the ax 53 . if the ax 700 has optical steady shot that would be incredible

Time saver: just chop your video. or post it as a post instead of a reel

there is compromising

I find it very sweet. Authentic. ❤❤❤❤

getting pretty nervous for my speech coming up. thanks for the good tips!

Leggo my eggo bro!

Did you try posting as a post instead of a reel? I noticed that lets me post longer videos.

I have a few dozen of those in my house. As for package, their primary "selling point" are "eco-friendly" so I don't think they will try to do those fancy premium package by default. But IIRC there are some sets that come with carrying case and such, they feel way more solid but you will be paying a premium tho. I think they are pretty good in terms of AA/AAA batteries, one pro are they never leaks, everyone with a seldom use remote knows the pain when batteries leaks. As for price I don't really think they will earn themselves back in their lifetime if you use them on low power devices like remotes, but my last point would justify the price. For higher power devices they def. worth it tho. BTW some voltage sensitive devices (such as some smart locks, or anything thing that screams when they think the batteries going to die) don't get along with these batteries, these batteries have a lower voltage (around 1.25 to 1.1V most of their charge, while alkaline stays 1.2+ for half of their charge and 1.1+ until almost ded). Don't get me wrong, these NiMH have more power than many alkaline batteries, they just stay at lower voltage longer.

IKEA whitelabel these batteries as Ladda, they are exactly the same batteries from exactly the same factory at ⅓ the cost

Not used the Pro's, but I have Standard Eneloops, some of which go back about 15 years and still work. Am a big fan of Eneloops. There is a dumb rumour online that Amazon Basics are rebadged Eneloops, and it isn't correct, I tried some and had one die very quickly and they don't last long.

Look into EBL 2800mah AA, I bought a set of 20 about 8 years ago and I’m just now noticing SOME need replacing. Much better price to performance than eneloop and arguably just as reliable

I use eneloop batteries with that exact Powerowl charger. No problems whatsoever. I bought one big pack of eneloop batteries about 4 years ago and four 8 packs of Amazon basics batteries. Maybe 3 of those basics batteries haven’t died yet. They are teach. None of my eneloop batteries have died and have replaced everything in the household.

Rechargable lithium AA batteries or nothing. NiMH is garbage comparatively

Uses it for xbox controller, its good replacement for non rechargable battery. Im already saving a lot of money

If these cameras weren't so expensive I'd suggest modifying them to have external batteries

I have been using Eneloop (Panasonic) batteries for years now. I have some in rotation that are 5+ years old. They are great for things like remotes as one of the best things about the whole line of Eneloop is they hold a charge better than other rechargeable batteries. So that Amazon basic battery will drain in the remote when you're not using it. The basic Eneloop (the white ones) are only double the price of the Amazon basic batteries, and the Pros are three times the cost. But I have white Eneloop batteries that are about 9 years old that we use in house hold deceives now and they still charge. I even use them in my large flashlights with the D cell adapter sleeve. As for packaging, I would like to see less. The plastic window is there for store shelves, I would be okay with a thin cardboard box with no real printing on it. We get far to wrapped up in unboxing things now. I buy a thing to use not to unbox. These are batteries not a Rolex or some over priced thing from LTT. Charging. I have gotten so many of the Panasonic chargers in kits over the years, I haven't tries a third party one. But what I do have is two that stay in my photo/video travel bag, and three more mounted on my charging table. I have power strips down one side of a table and then I have double stick taped to the table chargers for all my various camera batteries (I have like 8 different types), a USB bank with cables for things like head phones or built in batteries, and three chargers for my batteries. That has worked for me. When I travel I take what can go in my devices and a back up set as well. Normally I can do two days shooting with my audio gear and maybe more if i really need to push the batteries to full dead. But not often am I away from power for more than 3 or 4 days. I can normally plan on that and bring a few more batteries. Been a photographer/broadcaster in the military for years now and have had to build kits to work in the worst places. These batteries are 100% what I would suggest. When the Pro version came out I swapped to them. The Army bought some no name brand and those batteries suck. Over all a good little review, keep it up.

I bought the Fujitsu version of the Eneloop Pros. They don't last that long in storage. You might get a longer life out of them since you do weddings. But if they are not cycled they die a fairly fast death verse the standard 1900-2100 Eneloop Cells or any other brand. I think the LSD=Low Self Discharge separators on the Pros or larger cells just don't last in storage if you have them fully charged. PowerRx Pros 2700mAh also have a similar issue. You can get those I think a little cheaper and quality wise they are close to the Eneloop. if you want quicker flashes, you can try out the Higher voltages, the new 1.5v Lithium XTAR rechargeable (not the best for constant high drain devices like Flashes, maybe fine for camera with low amperage)or try the EBL/PowerGENIX Ni-Zn chemistry since they have a higher 1.6-1.8 voltage. Your devices would need to support it. But they charge the capacitors in flashes faster from videos I've seen. If you really want batteries that last forever, then getting maybe an external power back with high discharge Li-Ion or LiPo would be good, but also bulky.

I use Eneloops on film sets nearly every day for wireless transmitters. I’ve heard Laddas are similar, but can’t speak from experience besides using the Laddas and getting similar performance. Like you, I can’t take batteries breaking. There is no “all day” on a set, even on lithiums. The eneloops are more environmentally friendly and I always change batteries at lunch regardless. The biggest downside is how fragile they are. I have one device that damages the eneloop battery cover almost any time I put eneloops in there. This doesn’t happen with lithiums, but I suspect that’s because I’m only using the lithiums and disposing of them after one use. It was easier to stop using the gear that wrecked batteries than to keep replacing eneloops. The eneloops have charged in every charger I have, none of which are officially eneloop branded chargers.

I don't think comparing the eneloop pros with the normal capacity amazon batteries is a fair comparison, since they're built a different way. the high capacity/pro versions have a higher self-discharge in exchange for a longer short term battery life, and the Normal ones are a balance between self-discharge and battery life. AmazonBasics does sell a High capacity battery. also I'm not sure if this is *still* the case but I hear that the high capacity amazon batteries are rebadged eneloop pros, and same for ikea high cap rechargables. also high capacity batteries have rated for less recharge cycles than the normal ones. I personally keep both on-hand depending on what suits the occasion better.

I don’t know anything about photography or batteries but i enjoyed watching !

only 20 wedding shoots a year? That's a surprisingly low number of shoots. I'd assume you'd have to be charging like 400-500 an hour to live off of that, if not more. Maybe I should buy a 3k camera and just shoot wedding photos too.

having used a bunch of rechargable AA and AAA batteries in the (distant) past, i can say that other chargers should be 0 problems as long as they arent malfunctioning. some cheaper chargers can take a little longer to recharge, but if you get a charger that can charge all the batteries you might need during a shoot, you may as well just set and forget. plug them in at the end of the shooting day and they will be charged by the next morning. a nicer charger certainly can be useful to keep tho as a backup, even more so if it shows how much charge the battery took during the charge cycle, cos that way you can see if a cell is dying if its not charging up as much. tho given the eneloop's 500 recharge cycle rating and your 20 weddings a year, you may be entirely out of the industry before you need to replace them haha

Sorry dude, but your comment about the packaging is so superficial, really. Who gives a rats ass about the packaging, you will throw it away in less than five minutes - most of the best battery cells actually come in shit packaging since the companies are aware their customers know what and why they are buying these batteries. This review needs more work. It is totally based on your perception and minimal to no data. You should check some of the other review channels that base it on actual test data for good ideas. Good luck, I’d love to see your videos get better. I hope my comment is not discouraging, but rather pushing in a better direction. All the best! Oh I almost forgot: these are one of the better batteries on the market - so pretty decent choice 👌🏻

Check out eneloop101's rewrapped list. There is a few brands out there that have been tested to show the same performance and capabilities as the eneloop pro's and are also made in japan and they are available in a few more places than you expect. And importantly, far cheaper. I'd also suggest getting something like the Opus BT C2400 which will allow you to do deep cycles of the batteries as they get a bit older to get a few more years out of them. Some of my eneloops are 5 years old and still going strong!
