currently packing my camera bag to film my first event (a fellow artist's EP launch party). very nervous lol. thank you for all the info & advice you share! been watching your videos and practicing for ages, so i'm fairly confident the event will go well! more footage to add to my barebones portfolio lol
so thankful for discovering your channel recently! picked up my own FX30 moving up from a A7SII and I couldn't be happier. Was using my friends FX30 for a little over a year so I've grown to appreciate the quality that you're able to get from it and knew it was time to snag one up! this just is the push I need to dive into finding clients to work with, thank you !
Thank you for covering the fx30 all the time I just got it couple months ago and I’ve been non stop watching a lot of your content love it. Keep going up mate !!
I do b Cam for a wedding company using this camera, I’m not a Wedding videographer but I was able to leverage this camera to get the job and not use my cinema cameras deal with big file sizes etc ! I also use this camera for my low paying clients that can’t afford my cinema camera and crew etc I love the fact I can do 16 bit raw externally to b cam for some one ! You hit all the points bro this camera is completely versatile and I think Sony really killed it with this one business wise
super grateful for the insight, the information just Butterly effected many young creators towards a new perspective on the abilities of not only the camera but paths within in the industry. love to see the work.
Any quick advice for live streaming for someone totally new to cameras on how to play around with the colors and get more creative (skin tones etc)? I assume the s-log and luts stuff doesn't apply. Picture profile? Creative styles?
I've been tossed up for months between the FX30 and now the A6700. I feel like for me, the A6700 would be the perfect camera if I didn't want to have to worry about overheating. Considering I do also plan to live stream with whichever camera I choose. I know I could buy an Ulanzi fan but I'm not sure if it's something I necessarily want to deal with. Then again, the A6700 setup with lenses would be more cost efficient over the FX30. The choice is a tough one!
Purchased the FX30 in February 2023 and have already made about $5000 with more client shoots to do before the end of the year. I shoot events, weddings, interviews and portraits shoots! Sony outdid themselves with this one!
Thanks for this super useful video. I take it this applies to FX3 too? Also, I've been meaning to start a youtube channel, but I don't know if I should steer to something super specific... or find out as I go. There's a few different things I'm fascinated talking about, such a art direction, storyboarding, observational drawing and writing ----but I don't know if I should stick to one topic OR make youtube videos on a bunch of different interests and see what sticks with me. Any thoughts?
could you make a video (or do you already have a video) going in depth on how you go about finding/getting these freelance jobs? Like ways you reach out to clients/what works etc.?
@@KofiYeboah learned to just take control of BTS on productions here. Untapped market and it’s very much needed where I’m at. No lie said in your video bro.
@@KofiYeboah yeah I realised I don’t only have to use it with a short xlr cable say when run and gunning. Just as useful for straight into camera hq audio with my long xlr cable from a mic stand on a talking head. No need for my Zoom. Very useful.
@@KofiYeboah I’m sorry if this came across rude. It’s a genuine question from someone looking to pick up their first camera and I thought you might have some advice. I just binged some of your content, keep it up man!
@@Diego_CabreraI didn’t mean anything rude in my response, but I stand by just finding out for yourself based on research, I have one comparing the two but it doesn’t tell ya which to buy 👊🏾cheers
New subscriber here as just bought my first camera (obvs fx30) can u help in regards to a decent computer which can run davinci, I only have the m2 8gb and it struggles baaadddd, what would you suggest?? ✌️
I need a honest answer from you my brother. I am 2year+ photographer and videographer. I am working in drama industry as a still photographer and behind the scene videographer. But now i want to improve more. I want to work Music industry, Short Film, Interview, Documentaries video and as well portrait photographer, model shoot, product photography and also still photography. And which camera is good for me Fx30 or A7iv? Before i use sony a6400. But now i want to upgrade my camera setup. Budget is tight. But i want a reliable setup for me. In my country most people use A7iv. Now which camera i need to pick?
I’m on the fence I have gone through the whole “let’s buy the cheaper camera and upgrade later” which in the end was more expensive than waiting and buying the one I was going to be happy with. We’ll see, I guess.

Yeah I do a lot of client work with my FX30. The camera paid for itself in under a year, which was pretty cool.
That’s unreal to hear !!
How do I approach a first time client?
How do I get work, I bought an fx3 and a 24-70 and trying to find people to work for
Teach me how I'll pay....
Love hearing this!
you can just leave when you dont like it. this such a bold statement, showing how passionate you are, inspiring 🙏🏻

hey, can I ask you what lens do you use with the FX30 ?
@@charliebrg viltrox 13mm 1.4, sigma 16mm 1.4, Sony 24mm 1.4 GM, Sirui 23mm 1.4 night walker cine, Helios 44-2 58mm

Sony really came through with it man
Good video, great points. I've been shooting professionally for 20 years (off and on) but I still learn new stuff all the time. Thanks for the share.
Man glad I can still help an OG, appreciate you!
You're dope Kofi. Thank you for constantly providing great advice.

Your so right. I bought this camera in August and have already made 5 figures from it. Best camera purchase for sure ;)
There we fckn go!!
I like your message, you lay out the material on shelves so easily and easily. Thank you for the video
Glad you found it helpful !
Thanks for all the great videos! God bless!
Glad you like them!🙏🏾
Appreciate you making these videos! I’ve been filming for 3 years with a HVX200 and I think it’s finally time to upgrade to fx30 ❤
Enjoy it man!!
The way you pump out videos is so inspiring man!
2-3 a week 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great video thanks for the overview

Correct! Through usb (to my knowledge) camera defaults to standard profiles BUT
a capture card to hdmi works !
Like the content, rly good channel! :)
Thank you homie 🙏🏾
Great video as always super useful thank you!
Happy to help!
Is this a good camera for sports videography
sure!
Currently on Canon, but still find a ton of great value in your content... and maybe you're slowly converting me... maybe. Thanks for the tips 🙏🏼
I only want to convince if it fits your use case 🙏🏾👊🏾

I think they’re close enough in price where if that’s a concern, maybe jump up to the 30!
Good job ! you film with the fx 30 in this video ? + with lens ? thanks
Believe so! I got the fx3 shortly after
Hello my fellow Canadian ... I miss Cananda living here is the USA, that being said great videos and you have a new sub.

Ahah remind me to put track names at the bottom ahah
@@KofiYeboah OK, will do. Start with this one LOL
Coming in clutch!

great video. I am so split on what camera to get now!
Just do your research! It’ll come to ya!
The more I feel like I research. The more I don’t know what I need. lol.

Works on any camera really !
And RUclips you can make it on anything you want as long as your messagings consistent, there’s no real formula
@@KofiYeboah cool! ‘Message is’? Just double checking.
Your "messaging" is your why. Find out why you want to shoot content and stick to it. @@kereyvproductions5521

Why should I choose the fx30 over the a6700? They have the same sensors and features and the a6700 is newer and less expensive?
I don’t really make videos to tell you to buy one or the other, but do your research, and if one works for you, go for it 👍🏾

If you’re budget is tight, buy neither , save up, and come back to this comment
A6700 and Fx30 with the same value, what recommendation for the best option 90% video?
Have a video on that , check that out and decide for yourself 👍🏾😁
Dope!
What do you about the Fx6
Sorry what?
Just join the gang fx30 a couple of man ago. Hope can know more better to the camera and start to get jobs

I mean, someone’s probably done it haha

this is sound advise for any capable camera, you Sony people are always...anyways, thanks bro appreciate the video.
…. You didn’t watch the video where I say “it goes without saying this works with any camera” lol
Wait wait you said weddings aren’t that hard to edit ?????
Relative to something that would need multiple people working on the project (vfx and such) yes.
