Yes exactly - like this 1:18

@@thomasfransson Thank you sir

You're most welcome

Not sure, but I don't think the usb-c port supplies power.

The mke440 would be an interesting choice as it's a stereo microphone. If you’re not using a camera (or recorder) with XLR inputs the mke400 could also be a great option as it would provide a stronger signal compared to the mke600 if you run it on battery power. A mono microphone like the 400 will give you a more directional (and centered) sound being only one channel of audio. The 440 would provide more width and maybe more ambience. But you'd also get slight separation and directional awareness. I'm not an expert on asmr so I'm not sure which one of these characteristics that would be most favorable for asmr though. But I hope this information will help you make a more informed decision.

Yes absolutely. Enjoy your new monitor

Have you found any bugs? In that case you should report them to Viltrox and not me 😉 I don't think there's a new firmware available. But the option is down at the bottom of the menu.

Ooh! Yeah that's gonna be a sweet combo!

Exactly, 99.7% of the external monitors on the market doesn't offer camera control, it's actually a very recent feature available to cameras other than RED for example. The most common one that works with Sony is the Portkeyes LH5P II and a handful or others Like the new Atomos Shinobi II Which I'm hoping to review soon as I've used it for little over a month now. But actually haven't tested the camera control feature yet. But those two and if you google monitor with camera control for Sony might give you more options. Some monitors will have camera control but perhaps only for RED, ARRI or other brands so thats what you will need to do If you want something with camera control.

@@thomasfransson thank you so much I appreciate it! I’m gonna return the viltrox and order the 7” portkeys!

Now I understand what you’re saying the portkeys LH5pII got it. The LH 5P and the LH7P do not have the touch focus. I’m new to this stuff I just bought the FX 30 for Contant creation. It seems so weird to me that having exactly what’s on. The camera screen is hard to find that blows my mind. I would think that would be a staple. I mean, they have every other feature known to man.lol

From what I've heard the Sony Creator App might be another option to look into. It's supposed to let you use your smartphone as an external monitor and from my understanding will support touch focus. You should be able to find it on google play and app store (it's free and made by Sony)

@@thomasfransson I have two different apps from Sony. When is the Sony creators app and the other one is the monitor control app which is a little bit better. The problem is with that anytime that you use your phone for something else to disconnect you from the camera. I was really hoping to find a 7 inch but I did get the LH5p II it should be here tomorrow! Thank you so much for helping me

Thank you so much

Have you tested the AF? Also make sure the mc-11 firmware is up to date. The only thing I can think of outside of this if you've confirmed that the auto focus doesn't actually work is if you've updated your camera firmware to the new one that Sony pulled since it caused a lot of issues and some adapters and third party lenses stopped working.

True, I think they made a mistake there. Let's hope they open up RF

Thank you. Hope it was helpful. LOG and raw footage is available as a download option on the clips that are available in either log or raw. Please note that this is an add on.

At the moment yes. They might add Z and L once the initial production is slowing down.

I'm not sure if there's any regular aperture blades in there. Since it's a fixed aperture. Might have to break out the Dremel ;)

​@@thomasfransson Can you tell if the hexagonal "aperture" on it is in front of the glass element or instead housed within the two elements? If just in front then I'm tempted to tinker once mine arrives!

Looks like it's on the front.

You have a few more waveform options on the Pro outside of the standard.

Thank you so much it's mostly Fujifilm Eterna with some color wheel adjustments I believe. Some clips in the studio also have a few percent of a Kodak Vision3 LUT on top. You should be able to find lots of free eterna and Vision3 luts on the web

@@thomasfransson thanks buddy. Keep doing awesomeness.

Thank you

That's a great idea, I should have tried that. Thank you.

Thank you Amit!

You can set the white balance and tint however you wish. All of these profiles are developed at Canons default daylight WB and that's what I use when shooting with these myself. Just as a roll of film would be daylight and look warm/cold if used in other lighting conditions. These are mean to be more similar to film and no to the typical warmed up Canon colors.

@@thomasfranssonthank you for your explanation! I just tested my camera and the white balance gives different effect on the result. Im new into photography so thats why im not proficient in these things. Love your crowdak! I also did my own profile today, i made the yellow color a bit darker just like fuji cameras. its not fully tested yet but i do have comprison of crowdak with my profile, both in AWB, Shade and Flash white balance. I want to make a short youtube shorts showing the result, is that okay? I will mention your youtube acc in the description

That's awesome! Let me know when it's up so I can check it out

Glad I could of help! Not sure if they have the same dimensions, but the spacers will get the job done!

It's called miky vintage

Exactly, fixed f4.5 pretty fun.

It's a fair bit newer and offer some additional features and better noise performance. That said as far as quality of the audio audio goes, they should be fairly similar. And you already have your MOTU interface. So it would not be a significant update, unless you dbx kicks the bucket.

@@thomasfransson thanks for the reply! I picked up the dbx used yesterday for 100 usd, it would be 250 for the uv1 but kind of redundant since I have the motu like you mentioned. Just wasn’t aware the uv1 existed until last night and was getting slight buyers remorse 😝

I know the feeling all to well 😅 I think you’ll enjoy the dbx.

That's odd, check your spam folder. If it's not there contact me via the page. You should also get a direct download link on the page after checkout.

Glad to hear that! Thank you for taking the time. Have a wonderful day!

If you have other options you find as nimble or if you can't see yourself using it personally - Sure. But I think of everyone buying a new camera or getting into video to extend battery life with a power bank they probably already own. And I could see this as a great backup to have in your bag if your NPF, V-Mount or regular batteries are getting low. Slap it on with your own power bank or borrow one on set. Personally I also like the sheer size of it along with a smaller power bank for those times when you really want to slim down your camera to as little as possible. It's great to have options for those and other occasions ;)

@@thomasfransson That's ok. In my case, I have two powerbank holders and two NPF battery plates already. So all I need is the arca foldable mounting plate. Buying the Smallrig 4696 which is about 70 Euros in Germany, while knowing that the NPF plate is completely useless to me just doesn't make sense. And the plates on it's own accounts for about half or more of the price.

Great that you've fond a powering solution you like.

It's a power bank clamp attached with a super clamp. I've updated the links and added a super clamp there as well. Thank you for reminding me.

It's a shame they missed that. Hopefully they will offer an updated version. It's a really great product for cameras like the FX3/30 built run for a while. And it do work, but it would have been nice to be able to keep it fully upright without it resting against the camera.

​@@thomasfranssonyes all my cages are from smallrig, great company. Im sure V2 is on the way. I wonder if this thing would fit under one of my cages, thanks for the heads up

If you have a cage with a straight end at the rail section it will fit. I have an older cage for my X-T4 where the bottom arca rail morphs into the grip and on one side and a 3/8 thread rail on the other end (instead of nato) This sadly makes it impossible to slide the arca QR on to that cage. So just make sure you have an open end and it should work.

Don't we all ;)

Very basic, things, I converted everything to be tool-less so I could transport it in a regular camera bag. A smallrig cage, nato top handle and nato QR monitor mount. In this video there's also the Atomos Shinobi II and Sirui nightwalker 16mm along with the matte box mini from smallrig. I use the matte box when I shoot with cine lenses mainly as they are more prone to flaring and vailing. I do have a video covering the parts in more detail if you want to see them up close. ruclips.net/video/gfZB1i4Pw-E/видео.html Thanks for stopping by!

@@thomasfransson thanks

You're most welcome, let me know if I left some information out

@@thomasfransson I’m trying to go around to different creators and see there rigs so I can get an idea of how I want mine

Soon to be a content creator it is my dream

Good to know, do you know the model name/number of that power bank in case someone consider this combo.

ROLLEI Powerbank 20.000mAh 65W

Thank you. Glad to hear

@@thomasfransson really like the vibe the video had

Thank you those kind words made my day!

Thank you Gabriel - I appreciate it very much!

Don't know, I'm still running the same FW, you should reach out to Feelworld if you're having issues. .

​@@thomasfransson Thanks. Have tried. I had no choice, it came with firmware v5. Their website has not been updated. I can't even get a full screen image like I can with my old F6 1.0. Any tips there? "Pixel to pixel" just blows the image up, it's not true full screen. Sigh. They really mashed this thing up...

They seem to be pretty active on their facebook page. And there might be a user group on FB too. I'm still running fw 2.5.1so I have no clue what settings and things that might have changed in the more recent updates or if it's a combination of new features and camera settings that needs to be dialed in. Sorry, but I can't offer any advice since I'm not running that same firmware.

@@thomasfransson Thanks - yep you were right, they were quite responsive. The newer iterations of the device actually can't run the firmware shown in your video, but I was given advice about how access false colour (it is hidden by default now) and full screen - although full screen is minus display info as you have here - and that's probably a Sony thing. Anyway, Feelworld people do respond and helpfully...

Ah, glad you got it sorted! Yes, the dreaded info display on Sony cameras. No one knows why they don't change that already.

Cfexpress cards gets hot.

Thanks. All of them? My friend with se same camera use Lexar and hasn’t this issue. Maybe I’ll try a Lexar or something else

Yeah pretty much, that's why they're made out of metal to help with heat dissipation. It's basically a big heat sink. There's lots of information about this on google if you want to learn more about how CFExpress cards work and that sort of stuff. It's also why some newer cameras don't always have CFExpress card slots - to prevent them from internal heat issues.

@@thomasfransson thanks. I did hours and hours of research on Google to try to understand if the strong heat was normal or not. I didn't find much. The most interesting thing are some articles on PetaPixel where they warn about CFs that are NOT VPG certified. There is also a list of brands that have the certification and Pergear is not there, this made me very suspicious... I will do other tests with a friend's Lexar

Really? I just googled "CFExpress Type A gets hot" and got about 307 000 results, most of them explaining the works of these cards and confirming the fact that they do get hot. Even when Idle or just sitting in a card reader. Even my Sony gets hot. There's a a bunch of these new cards coming out on the market and just like one could expect not all, especially manufacturers of more budget friendly options might go through all the licensing and certification, this would not mean it's a bad card. Just that they made a card and didn't care about the proper certification. Just like with third party batteries that will work just fine even if they won't have the same certification and your camera might say that It can not guarantee the functionality of a battery as it's not an OEM... the camera isn't able to verify that it's not OEM and therefore... And if you are a big content creator and you have a choice to recommend products that won't have any issues (most likely) or recommend a card, battery, lens, accessory that may work perfectly on 97% of all cameras. But you don't want the risk of getting complaints from those 3% Well then you stick with the safe bets... It's just like in camera groups where there's people that's afraid of even using third party lenses and make it very clear as often as they could how superior OEM is and how they'd never buy third party options. Sorry about the rant. All I can say is that I've used this card for 90% of everything I've shot on my Sony since I got in in early 2024 and not run into any issues or have seen anyone reporting any issues on any Sony group or RUclips. I was worried when I got it as it got hot - did some quick reserach and discovered that these cards do get hot and I didn't think more of it.

Sure thing! The one I use in the video and for most slider shots is the smallrig video head with a leveling base - amzn.to/3XRx3KI It's nice to have more than one way to make fine adjustments to your camera ;) If you want something even more budget friendly I'm sure this one would be able to get the job done too - amzn.to/3TE3z0i Hope this helps But I'm sure something

I can't answer on everyone's behalf but I've owned DRS for a couple of years and I open it every once in a while. But I'm still nowhere near as efficient in Resolve as I am in Premiere and despite all these years, I haven't had the time to put in the time and effort it would take to become as efficient in Resolve or at least get to a point where I'm able to make a decision on which NLE that fits me and my workflow the best. The coloring in DRS is great and the only reason why I've kept it installed. Although I've only graded a few test clips and based on my current knowledge of Resolve obviously took me way longer than it would have done in Premiere and as the results weren't better (again because I don't feel at home in Resolve) I can't defend myself going over to Resolve. And I can only assume this is the reason why alot of people stick with Premiere, they either don't have the time to migrate or maybe they're happy with their current workflow and don't see a reason to switch. On another note, there's a lot of Davinci Resolve users using Dehancer.

Both work fine as can be seen in the gimbal test at 10:22 so unless it's specifically for gimbal use I would look at what lens ticks the most boxes apart from that. But you could also revisit "The Picking" at 14:03 to hear my thoughts on what lens works best for what situation.

I believe they have a LR plug-in actually.

Glad that lens gets you what you need. Thanks for watching

You can't convert LR presets to picture styles. Picture Styles needs to be built in a software that corresponds with the cameras color processing

Ah see, yeah that's the one annoying thing with Sony cameras. I rarely have the info display turned on. But if I do, I normally just pinch zoom past the "junk" to fill the screen ;) And pinch zoom out or just swipe up or down to glance setting and info. The frame guide options available is 80, 85, 90, 93 and 96% so no free form for that tiny little image patch.

Ah bummer. Yeah I hate the way Sony does their info out, but I still need it in some cases. This seems to be the only feature this monitor is missing. If it had that I would buy it no doubt.

Yeah, I don't know why they can't add that as an option. It blows when shooting anamorphic if you want the on screen values and counter...

Thank you Jose, it was shot on the Fujifilm X-T4 and probably the Sigma 18-35 and or the Viltrox 23mm f1.4

@@thomasfransson Hey Thomas! Thank you so much!

Hey, anytime! And I just remembered that I might have shot some b-roll shots with the Canon 50mm f1.8 STM and a close focus filter/diopter. Have a great one!

Thank you, it just keeps getting better and better. And I feel like I barely scratched the surface.

Yes, for a few projects and things dating back a few years. As we've been in a similar field in terms of product development when it comes to film looks. So there's a history there for sure. But quite a complicated and none traditional one in the sense of now being an affiliate.

Haha! The old lazy filmmaker - this will be quick 🤣

@@thomasfransson -- Is that what it's called? I am asking a serious question. Whatever that is that's holding up your camera, it looks awesome.

Ah! I'm so sorry, I thought you were teasing me. But, the tripod I used can actually be turned into a monopod. But there's no monopod tripod foot for it to make it stand by itself. If that's what you’re looking for I can highly recommend the Innorel VM70CK that I reviewed here: ruclips.net/video/duP1auvsHN8/видео.htmlsi=F2LSDqVlxwZ19x3u It's basically a more affordable version of the iphoto monopods. Or the smallrig CT-195 that you saw in the video: ruclips.net/video/m4l85IOFYp0/видео.htmlsi=z1tFrgpSpsU-h5qk

I've only shot with a 45mm 1.5X But given the fact that a 1.5X anamorphic lenses will have a field of view similar to a 23mm lens (if you’re shooting on a full frame camera) and that smallrig claims this matte box to clear up to 15mm wide angle lenses without any vignetting. We should be able to assume that 35mm would work without any vignetting.

@@thomasfransson thank you

If you’re planning on switching between different cameras on the fly I guess it could be somewhat annoying. Otherwise I don't see an issue with mounting the right one, sticking the rest of them in a drawer for any future gear changes. Lol

I never hide this one. I've done a few tests at home but nothing was a stand out solution. You could tape it to the inside of a button down shirt collar, glasses, brim of a cap that sort of stuff... Anyplace you can place it where it won't be moving around and nothing will rub up against it.
