Hi Alan, wish you a very happy new year! That's a solid setup that you've got. But besides the camera part, I would love to learn more about fieldcraft and other techniques which can make our life easier, like what's the best way to hold your setup while walking, I usually put the lens on my back with it's lens support and 15mm rails and the cushion on my backpack strap helps with the load. It would be very useful to get some of these mostly overseen techniques. And also how do you research on the subjects when you are going to film a specific species? Are there any go to sites for research papers or something like that? And finally Thank you for the video!
Happy New Year to you as well! Thank you for your message, I'm actually working on a few of these ideas right now. I'm looking at putting together a few courses on wildlife filmmaking, camera operations, so I'll be creating these very soon :)
As someone with RF mount lenses, and an entry level mirrorless camera, would you recommend selling it all and getting an FX6 and new lenses? Or buying a canon r5c or red camera with rf mount? looking at around a 7-8k budget without selling anything, and its for wildlife
Hey Connor6722, If you currently own quite a few RF Lenses, then I would say stick to RF mount, like an R5C would get you high quality video, 3 seconds of cache recording (pre-roll) in XF-AVC or MP4 recording which is incredibly helpful in wildlife filmmaking. Before considering selling anything, I'd rent an FX6 for a long weekend, test it out, put it through it's paces first etc. The best camera is always the one you have currently. But if you wanted to upgrade, the R5C is not a bad option at all - especially if you already have some lenses to work with. Getting a lens that could bring you into the 600mm range would be a good investment too for wildlife. You can look at the Sigma 60-600 DG OS for Canon EF mount, (if there's an EF to RF adapter compatible with sigma lenses). It would be roughly $1,500-$1,700 new.
Yea, that is all correct. Though it all matters, the important thing is 12 bit that gives the color latitudes for grading in post. The 16bit is just like you said, marketing jargon.
Great tutorial for begginers,may be you can educate us about video footages storage on cards and to save on drive.All the best and thanks for sharing.Yash.
I have serious camera envy, but you already know that.
Haha well it always comes down to how you use your gear, so keep on making yours look awesome! 👏

The FX6 HDMI can output up to 16bit RAW... But actually the FX6 sensor readout is 12bit, so that's just marketing nonsense.
