The audio test while doing the sponsorship is a genius move! Not annoying at all and actually gets the message through. Hats off Gerald, once again
It’s the only time I don’t skip the ads. I legit listen for audio quality differences lol
No, not hats off. Hats on. Next to the pool
Literally one of the smartest and most creative RUclipsrs on the platform right now!
It's a good way for not having people skip through it.
There is nothing more I want from RUclips right now than long Gerald videos about the a7S III
Cant agree more
Mark Vasquez got mine two and a half weeks ago, it’s unbelievably good you won’t be disappointed
What you’re doing for (future) owners of this camera is amazing. Thanks from France !
He’s helping us who have it now also 😉
Salut Pape San ! Alors cet A7SIII c'est ta nouvelle caméra ? Comment ça va en Corée ?J'apprécie tes vidéos, continue comme ça !
@@redfield8758 Merci l'ami!! Oui je vais en acheter une mais elle est encore en rupture de stock :/
Pareil.
Oui oui 🥖
Very helpful content, thank you so much for making these!
Fancy seeing you here. Just watched a video of yours today. :)
@@carlseiler you guys should get married
Thanks for all the updated info. The V90 Lexar works too for the V90 record modes. That is what I currently use with the A7SIII.
Your videos are insane. So much detail and work into them. Well done.
Another banger, Thanks, Gerald.
Cheers, Jacques!
Love how thorough your reviews are. I think these last two reviews are edging me over to convert from Canon mirrorless.
BAM! Love the shout out! BAM! Go Terry!
Gerald back at it again with an entertaining and informative video!
Thanks for doing all the research and testing for us, it is much appreciated.
I bought that camera about 3 weeks ago and I love it. Can’t believe I could live without it for so many years.
Really like how you mix adds with useful content (mic test). Thank you for that
Watching all the Sony a7siii content you are making and as soon as it gets here in the mail ill be right back to watch again!!
Your reviews are awesome. Thanks for the technical breakdowns. Every video you make...I'll be watching you :)
Thank you, Gerald Undone! Appreciate all the work you’ve put into these videos. Subscribed.
wow this is very specifc and detailed. I think you are by far the best detailed review out there. FANTASTIC!
Loving my Sunday morning Gerald Undone video! Another excellent techie episode.
So much value in one video!
I've had some issues with the V90 Lexxar cards not being able to keep up when shooting in 4k50fps ALL I. Mainly because the files are so damn heavy I think...
Had to buy myself a CFE A to be able to shoot all the modes but it's pricey as hell.
Keep the content coming man!
Thanks, Peter! And thanks for sharing your notes on those cards. 👍
I feel like this camera didn’t really need the CFexpress cards. It’s great tech, wonderful job implementation but isn’t only needed for 4k120 All-I conformed in camera? So no audio and harder to speed ramp in post? Anyway, great video. Love both your channels 🤘🏻
my main issue with CFE A is that theres only the sony ones and they're also small.
i want 256GB
for me : Sometimes the Lexar V90 also seems to report as a V60 - switching the A7Siii off and on again seems to reset this.....
the most useful camera reviews on youtube are here. thanks for your work
Loved this walkthrough, easy to understand and def found the card use helpful.
So many good notes like the 16 bit audio for internal recording. Would be great if there was a written compilation of some of these notes available somewhere as I wait for the arrival of my new A7siii. Great stuff Gerald. Many thanks.
Pleasure to watch as always :) Love my A7siii, thanks for all the tips & tricks!
So much information packed into such a great video
On a roll with these videos~ Keep up the good work mate~!!
Gerald has the best reviews hands down! Ur awsome!
There is so much useable information here, it is amazing. Thanks, again.
Amazing value in this video. Thanks man!
This is a very useful video for us. Thank you so much for the educative material.
Good news for Final Cut Pro users. Today May 21 2021, I tested the Sony XLR-K3M with the Sony A7SIII with settings raised to 24 bit 48 KHZ and in Final Cut Pro this 24 bit sound codec is now recognized by final cut so no more surprise silence or static and we can finally edit recordings with something other than 16 bit! Sure, some individual Apple apps still won’t play sound, but it’s not hard to find other video player apps that do play sound if the MP4 was recorded at 24 bit so it’s no big deal (ie when you try playing the Sony files directly). Now that we can import into final cut with audio, well things are certainly looking up! Okay… I’m Done ✅
Very informative video as always. The SD card explaining Was very helpful
Extremely helpful, informative and entertaining! Thank you!
OMG, thank you for listening to my question about the 2nd Base ISO. Keep up the good work and wish you more success 😁😁
Man that last part & intro. No doubt about content & doubt clarifications, but I never get bored of Gerald's Videos.
You kill it every time! Information gold!
Rock solid advice as always. Thanks Gerald . I just knew there was a payoff to keep listening. Cheers.
Another video I need to rewatch a few times. Thanks Gerald. Great info.
I don’t know why, but you doing a storyblocks sponsor is so much better than anyone else’s.
Thank you for actually getting the SD card info right! So many other sayings V90 only. Much appreciated!
Sony A7Siii looks like a beast. Also loving your channel! Stay safe!
Another helpful video Gerald. Thanks.
I'm literally using your luts today for a shoot to convert from slog3 :) you a legend. Thank you
thx Gerald for all the info...very helpful !!
The K3M audio quality is superb. I can tell that the Zoom has quite a bit more headroom but negligible and only while audio peeping. I am so glad that Sony came up with this camera that pretty much got right all the gripes I had with previous a7s models. Being a BMD user for the past years since I didn’t like the color science, bit depth, chroma subsampling and overall motion cadence I can definitely add this camera to my workflow. I find I can really match it to my BMD cameras which adds a lot of value to my productions. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks so much for your insights! It helps a lot as I'm just about to get this new camera. Hopefully I'll learn fast enough to handle it. Seems like a big step to become more professional. Greetings from Germany!
Thanks for helping with the audio. The 4-channel inputs are important to me.
Finally have this setup! :) A bit under two years later! And it still does the job.
Great, as always! Thanks Gerald!
Prograde owes you a thankyou. Their price to performance has made me feel much better about storage for the a7siii and fx6
Thank you so much for this information... most appreciated
Hi Gerald! Love your videos. Could you do an A7siii rig breakdown once you have yours configured in a way you like? I’m most curious about power options, similar to your A7iii build, especially if that DTAP to NFP cable’s USB can power the A7Siii through the USB port. It’d be awesome to just kind of have that one cable for monitor + camera! Plus I’d love to hear about how your approach to building a rig has changed since that video, any new cool additions, or anything that is specifically helpful for the A7Siii. Thanks for covering this camera so thoroughly, I’m looking forward to more content on it if you have any planned!
Thanks for this Gerald :)
Another great video. Maybe it’s my headphones, maybe it’s RUclips , or maybe the way you eq but I couldn’t hear any difference between the Zoom F6 and the Sony k3m 🤔 speaking of which, it’d be interesting knowing what kind of post production you do on your audio... that’s my main “problem” atm
I liked that transition to Storyblocks, normally I often skip sponsors, but not this time.
You're the greatest bro! Thank you!
Hello Gerald and thank you so much for your videos ! I finally received my A7SIII yesterday and I'm in the middle of updating the Sigma MC-11...and DONE ! Back to learning in taming the Beast now ;)
Hello. Just wondering if you can get continuous Autofocus with the MC-11?
Love this channel
Awesome video as usual. Shall favourite it to watch later again and absorb more. My mind was very confused when you said capital 7 though. I was like what? There is such a thing?
This is great info. Thanks for this.
Now that Is the slickest way to keep us from zooming through the sponsorship section we’re outraged 👍🏾
*DOPE* review!!!!! much appreciated
Great vid as always 👊🏻😎
this video was very helpful but only mildly entertaining
Solid breakdown! 😄
Great use of ad-time 😃 as microphone test! Genius
Amazing vid as always Gerald. Did you ever do tests to see if there is any difference in sound quality or ease between a MKH 416 plugged in directly to XLR K3M or in a mix pre II? Otherwise, I know that the main advantage for XLR K3M is one less step in the editing process if shooting with a sony cam, but the advantage of Mix Pre II is not having to shoot with the sony at the same time (i.e. audio only podcast).
Thank you very much - clearly explained and detailed.
Loving your elbow light, awesome!!!
If you keep making these a7S III videos I'm just going to have to continue to watch them.
And the award for the greatest thumbnail 🙌🙌
I am using a Kingston Canva v90 256GB with my A7SIII and it works fine for all-I up to 4K60. The Kingstons cost 249€ around here, and those 128gb Sony's are 280+€. Thank you for this amazing video once again.
Get my a (Capital7) S iii on the 23rd.. Keep these videos going!! Tanks
First of all , Love the reviews!
Super helpful to discover new things about the camera and better ways how to use it.👍🏻👍🏻
For SD-Cards I use Kingston Canvas React Plus UHS-II 300MB/s v90 Cards (up to 256GB) and they work great with all the same recording modes and bitrates as the ProGrade Cards.
The ProGrade Cards are not available here (only through their website) and the Sony Though Cards.. they are hard to get also, but also Super Expensive..
So far super happy with the Kingston Cards for the highest recording options, and nice to have some Some Sandisk Pro 170MB/s laying around to use up to 4k 60fps.
HA - Show this comment to Storyblocks - ANYTIME I'm watching a video and the creator starts their Storyblocks spiel, I skip forward. I've actually never watched a Storyblocks advert until now, due to having the audio test during the segment. Well done Gerald. Well done :)
I test the XAVC HS 4k 120 at 280mbs / s in 4:2:2 10bit with an ANGELBIRD 128go 5SD SDXC™ | UHS-II | U3
and Class 10 | V90) rated at 300mo/s read and 280mo/s write and that work fine. My A7siii show an overheat indicator at 25:06 minutes of rec (4k 10bit still) and shut down at 28min with this message, (in french btw) "Surchauffe de l'appareil. Laissez-le refroidir". I shut down my A7 and power on 4 minutes later, the indicator was still present. I shut down again for one minute more and the indicator deseapper.
I hope this comment was useful
Have a good day
Great work !💪🏽
Oh man. 1:40 "I'll switch back and forth between the K3M which is sitting on my OTHER Sony a7SIII". Dude, I'm still waiting for my first - already fully paid - A7SIII since August and no one can tell me when it will arrive at my Sony dealer here in Germany. Meanwhile I watch every video you make about the A7SIII looking forward to mine, but this part hit hard. Still, awesome videos, keep up the good work, you're one of a kind. Thank you.
Thanks on the 120p vs 60 ... I was wondering myself.
I subconsciously click on ur videos the second i see them XD always PACKED with knowledge! THANKS!
Miles’s question gets no entry in the video 😆 this cracked me up Gerald! Bless you brother, love your random jokes!
My question is how big is the difference between xavc s 120p and xavc si 120p? Is it worth purchasing the expensive cards?
“I’m Gerald Undone, and all I want is the perfect camera.”
Haha. Camera Conspiracy gonna get mad and add more Toneh
I see what you did there, good stuff.
serioulsy mate your'e a bloody legend. I needed this. You are my go to man for sONY cAMS ETC
Love that you were up front about using Davinci Resolve and therefore you’re completely unenthusiastic about proresRAW! I hope this camera will support blackmagic raw via blackmagic’s 12G external monitors in the future!
Thank you SO much for all the helpful information you've presented about the A7S III! You're immensely helpful! I've put a couple screen shots from your videos in my personal Reference folder - the chart about SD cards from this video and the list of secondary ISO's for each gamma. -- If you're up for doing more tests with the A7S III, I would love to know your take on the various bitrates available within each codec. I'm aware of general differences between AVC S, HS, and S-I, as well as 4:2:2 vs 4:2:0, but I would love to see tests (beyond my own) comparing AVC HS 100M 4:2:0 vs 50M 4:2:0 vs 30M 4:2:0, for example. What data is given up if one chooses 30M instead of 50M or 100M? When will the difference be noticeable and to what degree? My casual tests show very little visual difference, but it would be great to see quantifiable comparisons so we can more confidently save (or consume) memory card space as needed. Thank you for considering this request!
Thank you so much for this video! When using the ninja to record, does the 24 bit audio recording mode support all 4 channels passed over to the ninja?
Will you make another video about lumix s5 ? Amazing video Great work 👍
Hi Gerald! Thanks for your amazing videos! I was wondering that since the a7sIII has build in Noise Reduction, shouldn't it have less Dynamic Range whilst recording externally in RAW that bypasses that built in noise reduction? Many Thanks!
I’m Gerald Undone, “and I always capitalize my 7’s”
What’s happening everybody? I’m Gerald Undone... and you’re not.
Awesome, appreciate your videos. I'm excited, as I will have A7s iii with these components, but it would be great to see rig options for similar configurations, could you do video on that?:
- XLR-K3M
- battery grip
- 2x Sennheiser EW100 G3 mics
- Atomos NINJA V
- Polar Pro BaseCamp Kit
No need for large batteries, battery grip will work ok, most important - as slick as possible rig, for handheld use.
Thank you so much for this.
About that last question, I still think that symbol is not an "a" but a "α" wich is Alpha and not A.
Anyways, I'm here again watching a video about a camera I don't and won't use. Thanks for making it entertaining! :)
Dude. You rock! Thank you for your channel! Gonna go look for your Patreon, if there is one.
You convinced me. I'm getting Undone
That was very helpful ❤
Thanks, Gerald! 👍🏾
thank you for this video
Thank you for the video - especially the info on the Sony XLR-K3M. But what I’d like to know is if it’s possible to see the picture on the built in monitor simultaneously with myAndycine A6+? And if so, how to set it up.
Thanks, great video. Love the A7Siii so far. I did have a situation today where the monitor stayed on after powering the camera off - after 2-3 hours of solid shooting. Had to remove battery twice to resolve it, it was good for another couple of hours and no more issues. Anyone else seen this?
Glad to see all the big RUclipsrs have their camera Sony while us small people still are waiting.
