THIS is what will lead me to quench my filmmaking thirst. Currently writing several screenplays and a novel- sounds like I’m over the top but, man, I’m addicted to storytelling. Beneath my calm composure is a pool of simmering lava, burning with desire to film my scripts.
Get after it bruh!
great simple and no nonsense setup
Thanks !
@@KofiYeboah nonsense......?
Hey, just wanted to say thank you for making this vid. I just bought an FX30 today and this has helped me so much in putting a rig together. L&S :)
Ayy ! Glad I can help!
FYI to all the fx3/30 owners. Surui came out with basically an identical cage as this for a fraction the price. Been using it and it’s a solid buy 😘
Fractions a bit of a stretch , the tilta full cage is $10 more on BH 😅
For a fraction OFF the price. 😂
I have my A7iv setup very similar! May look a bit “goofy” for a photo camera, but man does a make a difference for handheld. 10lbs balanced properly is so much easier to operate lol
Ahah we only know the struggle
Thank you man! Just found your channel, unbelievably helpful. Answers so many of my questions with great production quality to back it up.
Thanks you ✌🏾
That rig is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks my g !!
Damn that camera is loaded🔥
Finally an fx30 rig build!! Been settling for Fx3 builds :/
Honestly they’re real similar!
*Now that's a pretty looking setup!* 🔥🔥🔥
I'm currently building up my Z6 and GH6 rigs -- thanks for the extra inspiration!
How is the GH6 treating you ?
@@KofiYeboah I'm really liking it so far. There are so many recording formats, it's nearly overwhelming. Panasonic also just dropped a firmware update to record direct to SSD, which is pretty cool.
Perfect. Just got my fx30 yesterday and am rig ready. Good looks!
Man you’ll love it !
@@KofiYeboah Interested to know more about the Atomos Ninja V and the SSD setup with the new update. If you have time, do you mind making a short or a video focusing on that and how it works?
I’ll get it on my list !
Very well built setup mate! Best one I've seen for the FX30!
Thanks !
Great video! Thank you for uploading this. 😊
You’re welcome!
Man, there is an Amazon sale on those 2tb Samsun SSDs. $159 is a steal. I don't own an Atomos Ninja V
Your set ups are always 🔥
Thanks !!
Can you record 4k60 on the fx30 with your ninja v?
FX30 went beast mode! Clean rig, I have the Smallrig cage and I hate the rail slot on top. Might move into the Tilta at some point.
The tilts costs a bit more , but honestly it’s systems grown on me a bit !!
I’ve been using the kondor blue cage, which has some nice aspects to it.
@@jesse_berger been trying to get my hands on Kondor cages for a month now. That back order is wild.
@@sixpgc wow just saw that delay till end of December.
Check out Smallrig’s new FX30/FX3 cage! They took the rail slot out!
Informative and straight to the point. Nice review bru.
Thanks broski!
That rig is pretty dope!! Great video bro!!! Side note I love the Ninja!
Same !!!
One of the nicer mini rigs built.
thanks!
Nice rig build! keep up the great content.
Thanks !!!🙏🏾
hot damn...Sony should pay you. This was fantastic
Haha one day
Your given a awesome cinematic camera look , and plz tall me what about total price of fully set up camera ,
THIS WAS REALLY WELL DONE FAM ❤
Thanks 😁😁😁
Nice breakdown!
Thanks !!
thanks for the videos. why record in raw?
Mostly if you want more flexibility 🙏🏾
Sorry I didn't quite understand how you put that on the tripod?
A plate and 2x 1/4 20s they gotta spread but they’re on the r bottom
I love rigging like any other cinema obsessed man out there 😅, but coming from a bmpcc I think that it defeats a bit the purpose of the form factor. Having something small with great IS means that I can just dump the camera in my bag and use it when I need. For bigger shootings I would probably use something else (bm or rent and fx6 or fx9 if consistency is an issue).
That’s true ! Different strokes !
Would you use the similar system with the XLR handle from Sony?
by all means you could , just need a monitor mount for the top handle, maybe the extension!
Keep coming through bro
Got more for the channel soon !
Can you do this exact rig but how you would attach a teradek system to it 😊
I’ll try ! All I have is the Accsoon Cineview 😅
I'm looking to pick up 1 or 2 FX30s..Great video.
You’ll love it!
W video, w rig
Thanks 🙏🏾
Love the rig! Any chance of a video comparing the fx30 rigged out and the fx6?
Thanks !
There wouldn’t be much to compare aside from the price 🥹
@@KofiYeboah fair enough 😂
do you recommend this camera for horror filmmaking? lots of low light situations
I’ve never made a horror film so I wouldn’t know
Which type of USB - C cable do you recommend ? I couldn’t find it in the description ? Any brand ?
I believe I have a Kondor blue one now !
I saw someone talk how the raw portion of the FX30 isnt good, hope you are able to test this in future when it can get fixed or so.
I've been looking to get a 10-20mm pz or 18-105mm pz for indoor shooting YT. Not sure if OSS is worth it on 105mm or having half weight from the 20mm. On another channel, I use a tripod but would like to hold and shoot for faster shots. Really don't know what to choose between the two. These don't have the best low light compared to tamron or sigma, but I'm really interested in the PZ functionality since it can help getting zoom/pan shots faster.
I’m giving pro res a try this week so I’ll let you know !
How much did you spend in all the Equipment not including the camara
You can record in raw now with an upgrade from Atomos🤙🏿🤙🏿
I found that out the hard way( while editing this video 😅)
Can you show us what that 4.6K ProResRaw looks like compared to the normal? Maybe a RUclips short idea 🤔
@@TimmySheehyVisuals already started filming , I travelled to the US and forgot my laptop in Canada though 😂
Do you have a specific camera bag which will fit the Sony FX30 and this Tilta rigging, etc with comfort-ease of use to place in & take out? If so, plz provide info and link. 😎😎
Try the Satchler bag review on this channel maybe?
I have the SmallRig V Mount battery with the USB and USB-C out but it won’t power my USB-C port on my Sony FX30
It’s somewhere in the comments , but kondor blue made a usb c to d tap that’ll work better
nice ideas !
Thanks !
Hey man. This is great. Big question for me at the moment: Do I rig up my A7siii like this with all the kit on there, or invest in an fx6? The majority of my work is handheld and run+gun, with the occasional tripod interview. I'm constantly trying to compare variable ND vs internal stabilization, currently leaning towards just rigging up my A7s so I get the majority of the benefits but still keep the stabilization. But you've clearly tried both, a fair amount, what do you reckon?
If you have FX6 money, and clients I’d say grab it before Sony decides to put it on back order again 😂
How would you compare this with the Bmpcc 6k?
Honestly, no clue, never used one
what's the total cost of the whole rig?
Sorry Cap, it’s above your pay grade
Love your videos hope you blow up this year #100thousubs #letsssgooooo
One day man !
fx30 or fx3 or fx6 which one would you recommend? for cinema/filmmaking.
The one you can afford
@@KofiYeboah I'm a student filmmaker currently planning to shoot a tv series in LA, so i'm thinking of netflix approved cameras. Do you think the fx30 will do the job or should I consider other alternatives ? thank you 🙏🏼
@@girizy if you’re shooting a tv series in LA I’m assuming the production has budget for camera ? Honestly the camera you can affords the best option
Thanks for the awesome video, curious, About how much does the whole rig weigh?
I’ve never tried to weigh it , I might ahah!
By the way, what stabilization mode do you record in? nothing, standard or active?
Depends on the day!
@@KofiYeboah What does it depend on?
@@areskrx9527 if i have a moving shot or im on a gimbal!
@@KofiYeboah That's what I mean, if you record handheld with that rig, what stabilization mode do you prefer to record with? and thank you.
Do you not get worried about all the weight on those two screw mounts on the camera?
Not at all actually !
Hey Kofi I have a bit of a problem. I just got this battery for my fx30. I ran a USB A to USB C cable from the fxlion nano two. When I used it for the first time I had to keep replacing the internal battery because it wasn’t keeping up. Any ideas? Do I need to use the USB C port on on the nano two?
Imma link a Kondor blue cable that might be better , it’s a usb to d tap!
@@KofiYeboah I have the kondor blue dtap to npf for my monitor. But this battery only has one dtap. What would you recommend for the monitor then?
@@barnes-media do you have a d tap port on the v mount plate?
@@KofiYeboah no I don’t. Did you test out using the usb c port on the battery?
@@barnes-media yeah on my fxlion2!
There’s npf to USB I believe but those might be hit or miss
I didn’t have problems with mine when I used it so lemme do some digging
Thanks for the rig.
How do you power your FX30 externally? I have a v-mount battery plate that comes with a D-Tap and a USB-A jack for power. I tried using a USB-A to USB-C to power my FX30, but, the FX30 did not see the battery when I plugged it into the camera. Any suggestions?
I checked Sony firmware for FX30B, and it doesn't show anything at the moment. I have v1.0 firmware.
I found the same on my regular usb cable as well ! I did some digging and was recommended a usb c to usbc cable that has to be capable of a higher wattage
I linked in the description I’ll be trying it out and will update the results !
@@KofiYeboah Thanks, Kofi. I will have to get one of the v-mount batteries you recommended since it has the USB-C input/output jack. Thanks for all the links.
PS. I noticed that under the USB settings it has a Mass Storage setting. I've heard that the FX30 is supposed to get the ability to record externally to USB-C external drives - like the Samsung T5's- in a firmware update. I hope that happens soon. I have a couple Samsung T5 512GB SSD's that would work well.
Is it safe to power the camera and monitor using the same V-mount battery? I’ve been told not to power my camera and monitor using the same V-mount battery because it’ll fry the HDMI port and possibly the camera. Is this true? (I shoot on the fx30)
I'm using a small rig vb50 battery. I have an 8v dc connection to my monitor and a 9v USB-C power delivery to my camera.
I’ve never had a problem tbh
Is there a difference in battery life or power if using USB-C to the Dtap or getting a Sony Dummy Battery to Dtap? Or possibly prevents overheating?
I think most people do it to avoid overheating , I just do it cause I’ll lose my battery door easily haha
Never use a dummy battery to Dtap for the FX30. You’re connecting 14.4v to a 7.2v connection. You will fry the camera’s motherboard.
Kofi , what type of equipment would recommend for the FX30 if I wanted to get some nice smooth long tracking shots ( walk & talk ) excluding a gimbal ?
I’d look at a stabilized lens or any mini tripod that’ll work
@@KofiYeboah looked at plenty but nothing seems adequate, debating where to get a shoulder rig or glidecam
@@Incog80 I have a shoulder rig video for thr fx30 coming this month 🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@KofiYeboah thanks Kofi for the reply & should be lit
nice toy !
Expensive toy
✌...
This is the first time I hear about Cinema lenses, what’s the difference?
I’ll have to make a video about this !
Hey thanks for the vid ! If I am buying only one vzo lens to get started do you think 25 would be a great length ?
If it works for your style! I can’t tell you that for you
@@KofiYeboah that's true I should of been more specific , I have a 16-55 zoom lens , and hover mostly around 16-35 range on my fx30 , I've been told its great to kind of have a 24 and a 50 if can only have two primes and a 16 and a 35 are great for apsc , so I figured either getting a 25 or a 35 would be perfect in these lenses but I can only afford one at a time ! anyway , always love your vids , appreciate what you do my friend !
Thanks for the video. Do you have a case that holds the assembled rig or any recommendations?
If I take off the top handle , the Manucho 935 holds it’s pretty decent !
@@KofiYeboah Thanks, haven't heard of those.
Nanuck* omg my bad
👍
Camera and monitor connected to same battery it’s not the best idea, because of hdmi cable connection power transmission.
I heard that it can fry your equipment because of this loop
Important question. Where’d you order your FX30 from? I ordered mine from bh and they say I won’t get it till late January
I live beside a small camera shop in Toronto (DVshop) amazing guys ? Got the camera before every other store in town. I’d suggest going to an independent camera store to order hot items , I’ve had better luck there
Hey Bro I just bought three days ago the fx30 and Ninja V+ and working my bud and can’t set it up to record on my ninja I’ve tried the shotgun 7 same crap nothing works Atomos keeps sending short emails saying turn off HDMI and it’s turned off on my ninja but there is no audio too can’t make it work ! Can you assist please
I’d contact Atomos, they’re probably better than me at this
@@KofiYeboah thx
Very good video, I have a question to see if someone can solve it, I have a Sony a7siii I don't know whether to use a USB C cable for power with the v-mount battery or use a fake battery, what do you think?
I’ve heard people get hit or miss on dummy batteries , kondor blue has a usbc to d tap that might help !
@@KofiYeboah but I have heard that when connecting it via USB C, the battery does not charge completely so it discharges anyway, even if you have it connected
So, what do you recommend, use USB-C?
@@areskrx9527 Ill use usb c
@@KofiYeboah thank you so much
Yoo Kofi , what is the best wide lens ( cine or not ), that gives the best of quality for the fx30. I mainly what it for deep focus shots
No idea, I still have to test more wide angle lenses for that 😅
@@KofiYeboah ok thanks for the response g
What does this build cost?
Might have to grab the calculator for this one haha
😂
Ordered this camera. Do I need a rig to mount a mic?
Just for a microphone? no
@@KofiYeboah okay awesome, yeah I'm gonna need that microphone. Thank you for the quick response. I have a kickboxing match March 18th I got this camera for shooting it. Would you say being in 4k 120fps would be best?
@@blazecarr on the fx30 use 60… save yourself
@@KofiYeboah whys that? is 120fps only shot in slowmo or does it just takes forever to download? i have many videos on youtube just this is my first higher tech camera so im new to this
@@blazecarr it crops in a bunch so the noise is a lot more pronounced!
Do u think FX30 would be a netflix certified camera? because the fx3 is and the 30 is better
Honestly, no idea, I'm not actually worried much about it , unless I had the means to get into netflix, where at that point, you probably have the means to get something better than the fx30 lol
Oh my gosh! I found you. Are you still filming with will tenny at all any more?
Wait, was someone looking for me ? Haha
Unfortunately no, haven’t been since summer
@@KofiYeboah I must say I enjoyed them more when you were there 😎
@@noahscofield ahah appreciate that homie, thank you ✊🏾🙏🏾
product being flashed to fast for me
Set the playback speed to 0.5x :D
Just buy a RED
That’s not a financially responsible decision at all contextually lol
@@KofiYeboah RED is more modular so you wouldn't need to stack attachments like that lol i think the fx30 is a dope camera as a base but i think if you add all your costs up you might have enough for a RED. lol
@@BrandonDull lol that math don’t check out 🤣 the Komodo is 3x the fx30 and all the accessories for the Komodo costs more 😂
@@KofiYeboah I just bought a RAVEN so im basing it off that. I liked the RAVEN because it does 120fps the Komodo doesn't/ I believe the FX30 does 120fps but you have to buy the monitor so you can do external raw recording.
@@BrandonDull the ravens still more than the fx30? Also finding accessories and dealing with the mags , i don’t think that’s much better imo
