I've been making do with my Zve 10 m1 . And I fantasize about having raw however I just want 10bit . However however however I've never let my camera stop me and honestly sometimes it's fun as much as I don't want to do it to use what I got and get a little janky and get what I can. I think I could tell most my stories with a cell phone it's all in the script and the edit. Then again you're not going to be cooking that serious working with people that know better or no gear better..

I am trying to figure out why this channel doesn't have more views/subs. Fwiw, I was drawn to this channel because I own an a7S III and make the occasional documentary. Not sure if your goal is to have a big channel but I think regular posting in this presentation style will eventually get you big. I have an art history channel that has way more subscribers and I rarely post new videos to it, but I did have a couple of videos that got 100,000 views quickly. Maybe you’re just one big video away from taking off. Obviously the doc world is smaller than the vlog world but I think your content is relevant to anyone interested in video production. End of unsolicited advice.

I used the FX30 to shoot an international commercial last month and honestly I was super pleased with it in so many ways. 1. The image looks fantastic. 2. To actually have a camera with such amazing autofocus and small size that I could use it on a gimbal, mount it to literally any rig was so freeing that it ended up influencing the types of shots I could get - being free to pursue the images in my own mind instead of thinking about the gear and how I could make it work was so freeing. That's the biggest thing I love about it - it just gets out of my way. I don't even think about the camera. 3. APSC. I love the super35 sensor. I always have thought of s35 as being the sweet spot. 4. Battery life. Oh how wonderful it was to shoot an entire day on 3 little batteries. LOL. I used to run big camera packages with all these vmount batteries. Ugh, what a pain. I don't care what anyone says, I will shoot with this camera for many, many years to come. It's literally perfect for me.

Crop factor for FX30 raw is 32.5%, not 25%: 6192x3483 vs. 4672x2628

Added to my wishlist for when I’m ready to upgrade 🤓

*It's Not a Great Investment. It's an AMAZING investment. I've had this Camera for just over a year and since it's APS-C it works with all my other lens as they too were APS-C Cameras. It's a Bit of a Learning Curve as it's ALL video with SOME photo aspects which is Why I LOVE this Camera*

I sold my FX3 and A7Siii to fund a pair of FX30's and some smaller/lighter lenses. I'm not a pro and the FX30 is MORE than enough for my needs. It's an amazing camera for the price!

I bought my FX30 a few months ago, and it paid for itself. I was a beginner when I bought FX30, doesn't know anything about video, but FX30 is level up my career and now I'm working fulltime and it's paying my bills.

I use this and the A7IV for the beginnings of my drone videos . SCINETONE is really nice for daytime but only SLOG3 looks nice for lowlight on the FX30 . Lowlight is better on the A7IV. I’m using the new Tamron 28-75mm

Global shutter compilation when? 😂

I have an a7 IV and also bought the FX30 some time ago. I am very satisfied with both cameras.

Great video. Very thoughtful. Thank you!

i am using the same setup and love it as you do. I am having one issue with it. After switching the camera on/off a few time, the handle has no connection any more with the camera unless i detach and mount it one more time to the camera. Do you have the same effect?

one thing I completely agree with you: I love EF mount lenses because it is nowadays camera agnostic.

Hey buddy thanks if helped, it it possible for a quick call over Google meet

I rented fx3 and fx6 It doesn't eye/face track in 100fps Is this the case with all fx3 and fx6

How to use 3 functions

Still going strong? I just sold my s1h and am thinking of getting a Komodo og to step up my quality and the og is in my budget

Hey Riley, love your content. How do you find the audio quality of the top handle adapter module compares to using a SD MixPre3? I have been using the latter because I trust those preamps and love the UI but I was considering ordering a top handle as another kit to roll out from time to time for added convenience. I am a journalist/documentary filmmaker as well. Thanks!

SO annoying that the Sony doesn't allow independent mono control of split tracks. I don't get that.

Panasonic Gh6 Rocks with Atomos Ninja v. Thank me later

Thanks for your video I will buy the course cause so just bought an FX30 and don’t know how to operate it . I’m a video guy but I’m switching to film

I want to bless others, but altruism has a dark history of subversion and sabotage. My experience with the church has been a Fountainhead-like experience of watching countries getting buggered in the name of Jesus and human rights. Living sacrifice when put to practice leads to extraction and pillage. It all begins with the idea that God requires blood sacrifice. That god is Molech. It continues with Martyrdom. The Living Sacrifice becomes a spiritual holodomor, a living hell. The first altruist in the Congo is none other than Leopold. And if you have been to the Congo, you know what Leopold did. All in the name of noble causes. Abolishing slavery, ending savagery, civilizing the world. Leopold was eventually exposed and forced to give up his fiefdom. Leopold had decivilized the Congo, and now Belgium had to clean up after Leopold. Leopold also did human zoos, in the name of science and progress. The Congo lived through Reconstruction and Jim Crow. The social gospel got involved there like it did here in the States, and we hear little about it. You also cannot get involved in the Congo too long before you hear about Patrice Lumumba, their independence martyr. The CIA called him a communist. Lumumba started out very conservative, fully believing in the civilizing mission. He eventually saw that colonialism was condescending and paternalistic, much like the black conservative sees welfare and food stamps here. Belgian provocations eventually led to the popular demand for immediate independence. Lumumba would have been naturally reluctant to haste, but he was forced to give Belgium some reality. He had listened to his people and could not deny their demands. Belgium responded with sabotage. They gave them hasty independence and then unleashed rebel groups on them from day one. The first rebel group was Tshombe's mercenaries. Lumumba was pro-western: reluctant to haste and seeking cooperation. They alienated him, and he had nowhere else to run except the Soviet Union. He had leftists in his own party, waiting for their opportunity to hijack the civil rights movement. A left wing rebel group formed in Lumumba's name after his overthrow. Even before the assassination, they gathered in Stanleyville. They were the Simba Rebellion. They became known as Lumumbism in Words Only. All they did was Burn Loot Murder in the name of the martyr. The Cold War was an altruistic project in its own right. The west was at war supposedly to stop communism. But they secretly did communism with Mobutu and Pol Pot. Altruism leads to fake human rights. Communism is fake human rights. The Cold War is more fake human rights, and in this case, the human right they are fighting for is the right to own property. And what is fake is not the rights per se but the manner in which they go about it. Just as Leopold lied about savages, Dulles lied about communism. Left and right are an unreliable guide to understanding the Congo. Today, the Congo is a funny country where staunch capitalists are Antifa, and social democrats are the GOP. There is one thing the Congo has in common with the USA: Russia, Russia. The Congo went through the Russian collusion hoax in 1960. They falsely accused Lumumba of being Krushchev's puppet. Events that are transpiring today are in some ways like a repeat of 1960. The Congo is receiving cooperation from China, while Blinken is sabotaging. Tshisekedi is being accused by the opposition of embezzling funds. Lumumba was accused of embezzling funds by the Belgians in 1956. A coup was recently attempted by Mobutuists. Mobutu became useful to US imperialism again because of Cold War II. I myself supported Friends of the Congo. They were communists. They were loyal to Cuba. Yet what they supported in the Congo seemed to be sincere. I thought they were with Tshisekedi. I was wrong. I had a ray of hope when one of their members called on the tech companies to bring capitalism and bring jobs. But FOTC betrayed the Congo. They threw in with Fayulu, Katumbi, and Mukwege, who are staunch capitalists. They use every excuse in the anticolonialist's handbook to defend the Diaz-Canel regime, but when the Tshisekedi regime needs to defend itself from colonialism, they join the colonial gaslighting. They have no principles. They are Simba rebels. They eat Pygmies. They may as well hate Lumumba. They are once again proving that fascists and communists are one and the same. What Fayulu, Katumbi, and Mukwege have in common with Antifa is fascism. Their staunch capitalism is empty words. Everything within the state and nothing without the state is what they are really about. They think with the blood of their tribe. Hitler is a leftist, and Lumumba is a rightist. Tyranny on the left, liberty on the right. Christianity is part of the problem. Our Christianity is a fake religion founded on blood sacrifice, sin, and altruism. Christianity is communism. Sell Your Possessions is the abolition of private property, and yet it's red letters. Zambia was founded as a Christian nation, and Kaunda was a communist. Zambia used to be Rhodesia, which sent the mercenaries. Both racist Rhodesia and communist Zambia are evidence of Democrat behavior. Missionaries are Democrats. Hichilema is a black conservative, and they never knew him. Calvinists meet behind closed doors to plan the spread of Critical Race Theory in the church. They used to create the Manichean cities that Frantz Fanon exposed. Rwanda is a Clinton altruistic project that went totally awry. Kagame is a Clinton puppet. Altruism is killing in the Congo, and I have had it with billionaire philanthropy. It is better to waste my life playing video games than to meddle in foreign affairs. I find meaning in life by exposing this altruistic madness. The USA can do more for the Congo by cutting the Rwanda crap than all the missionary social gospeling outreach combined. Ceasefire is gun control by colonizers. Imperialism is a liberal agenda. The classical philosophers used to understand leisure. We should work for the good of humanity as a labor of love, not a living sacrifice. The true gospel is Christ grace truth unto life, not law sin lies. Christ grace truth so happens to be African spirituality. We are all sons of the most high. Lumumba had the Christ grace truth. His confession: our lot was worse than death itself. The curse of the law did a number on the Congo. Mystery Babylon who trafficked in blood battery electric cars crucified Christ afresh. Without dignity there is no freedom.

A cinema camera, today, is the camera they used to shoot the movie. Nothing else matters. There isn't one single digital camera in production today that puts out an image READY for cinema presentation, so no camera is a cinema camera. People like to believe that more important is the lens selection or the lighting, but somehow always forget about post or put it way down on their list. IMHO post work is what makes an image ready for cinema release so the most valuable asset in the movie businesses isn't something material but the knowledge and talent to make something our brains immediately identify as a "movie". In this context, the cinema camera debate is just silly.

This was super helpful, thank you! New sub: your footage looks beautiful.

since Panasonic came out with the 10bit GH5 and BlackMagic with the Pocket cinema...we have moved away from gear to user skill set and taste....however I have a ten bit monitor and some of the Red Raptor footage I have seen is next level...however this said...is the price difference worth 40k vs 2.4k...not sure anymore...

So the fx30 does it that plate as well if it comes with the top handle? Thanks

Thank you for this video I’m keeping my fx30

If I want to just have more optimized file codecs for optimized editing performance, but I don't want the Pro Res RAW crop in my footage. Which one of the codecs should I best opt for with the Ninja Atomos V in combination with the FX30?

Thanks for your honesty! I've seen a lot of people in denial about the limitations of the FX-30. It's not the perfect budget cine camera that people wish it was.

You saved me a lot of money! Thank you so much for the information 🙏🏽

I’m interested in your FX 30 course. I’m technical but I’m REALLY struggling to understand picture profiles, creative looks, exposure options. Does the course address this?

how about a focus point (only) visible via hdmi on external monitors with out all the clutter a non clean hdmi output has.

Hi Riley, first off let me say thank you for this great video. I did subscribe and like I like this video because of your clear speaking and straight to the point knowledge you didn’t go oh this is great but you could also that burns me up you were straight to the point very knowledgeable information, I am a fan. I just bought the FX 30 I actually traded in my A7S and got the FX 30 and a new lens because I have the FX 3and A7iii you made me feel really good about my purchase and I love the EI mold it definitely makes me think it makes me a better shooter. Thanks again. Keep making a great content. Making people like me better.

Can this be used on the a7iii?

Valuable information, man. Thanks so much. Cheers from Italy

Firstly, I wish you would test all ISO's, starting from the lowest one and upward. Second, I wonder why would Sony make it only two "good" ISOs camera, since these are the only two ISO's that give you good image - and all other ISO's will give you poor quality footage filled with noise. Puzzling... Lastly, how does ISO 50 or ISO 100 noise compare to base ISO 800 / ISO 2,500 ? Would be great to see that comparison test. One more thing: I also shoot video with Nikon Z cameras. At any ISO. Have no noise problems. My videos are clean, sharp and crisp. How is it that Nikon, which is lot smaller company than Sony, makes all ISO's clean, and Sony - the giant in video cameras - cannot accomplish the same thing ? Just curious .. Thank you

Thank you for such an informative video. No fluff, no bs, just quality guidance! I will definitely sign up for the course! And I would love to see a color grading video from you! Cheers!

Speedbooster does not affect bokeh, also AF for video is unreliable and slow.

Excellent video 😮!

Is the ssd still compatible?

I don't think I'll be shooting raw with the FX30. My Sony 10-20mm f/4 PZ zoom lens would work perfectly for that, but is going to lack bokeh, that turns into a 22.5-45mm lens, but the f/4 might be problematic.

I really am confused. I just got ninja with sony fx3. When I select ProRes Raw 23fps UHD, I can only record 3 minutes on a 1TB ssd :|

The crop is a dealbreaker for recording in raw.... but... can you still record prores 422 with the full sensor?

can't buy the course, there is no payment option available

I looooove this lens on my fx30 with a metabones adaptor. I dont mind using manual focus either

Good stuff, Riley. Thanks for making this. Just added the FX30 to my FX3 setup, so I'm jazzed to have any additional information, especially when it comes to differences between the two.

Thank you for a great video! What font do you use in this video (at the beginning of the chapters)&

Is there a reason why you choose all this rigging vs an FX6? Im looking for documentary rig options. It's a legitimate question.
