Boost Your Sony A6700 with These Essential Accessories

[@kriedholm]

Which accessory do you plan on adding to your kit?

[@caseyzx]

Hey Kri! Down the line the el gato prompter seems really good, but probably a cage sooner. also, im not fully sure but i think theres a small error with the video timestamps! "17:36 - Elgato Cam Link Pro for a6700" afaik you don't show a cam link :) Also, i think mentioning a screen protector wouldnt be a terrible idea :)

[@kriedholm]

@@caseyzx a screen protector is a great addition. I fixed that timestamp and appreciate you for letting me know.

[@michaelocunningham]

@@kriedholm You also mentioned Atomos Ninja V in the timestamps instead of Atoll S Bracket

I'm thinking about the Neewer Cage and the Ulanzi Fan. I've only had the a6700 a few days, but have a shoot with it next week. It will be used as a stripped down Gimbal Cam to compliment my FX30 which will live on sticks. (The a6700 is an upgrade to my a6300.) I typically shoot 24fps 4K XAVC-HS 4:2:2 10-bit, S.Gamut3/Cine, so I'm a bit worried about overheating. FYI, the a6300 had an overheating issue while shoot 4K, but Sony resolved the issue with a firmware update. It has been -- and still is -- a solid camera ever since. Hoping the same for the a6700!

Great videos! I really like the content and delivery of your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@kriedholm]

Thank you very much!

[@TriniTrent]

Thank you for this! How about charging? Do you have any USB-C cable recommendations for charging and/or streaming? And battery chargers?

[@kriedholm]

I use a dummy battery any time I'm recording for long periods of time. Other than that, I use a sony charger to charge the battery.

[@GorillaSmokeUSA]

There is so much semblance in this videos! S sounds everywhere!! Ssssssssssssss

[@randomname931]

I recommend the viltrox 27mm f1.2 and all the ulanzi falcam f38 stuff.

[@kriedholm]

Thanks for the recs!

[@caseyzx]

i have a sony a6400 but this video still helped tons, thank you Kri!

[@kriedholm]

Yes, these accessories would also work well with the a6400. Thanks, Casey!

[@BHKalabaw]

thanks! Will the tripod also work with smallrig cage?

[@kriedholm]

Yes it does!

[@BHKalabaw]

@@kriedholm thanks!

[@brianmuir9059]

I will be using my new A6700 mainly for photography so rather than video so I got the Smallrig base instead of a full case. Also bought the Smallrig mini tripod which is very similar to the Pgytech one you have. I have the Pgytech Beetle clip which I find essential for taking the weight of my heavy 100-400 zoom lens.

[@kriedholm]

Sounds like a great setup!

[@todddammit4628]

Where did you get those cool acoustic tiles?

[@kriedholm]

Scored on FB marketplace

[@officialhardnox]

Hi Kri!! What monitor would you recommend that fits on the a6700 hot shoe? Something maybe 5/6 inches?

[@kriedholm]

Hey there. I really like the osee monitors. 5.5 inch could be a good option.

[@officialhardnox]

@@kriedholm thanks Kri! Will check those out 🤘

[@meme-lx6cs]

i would invest in a bigger camera with same or better quality and a fan and just carry extra batteries and still will be smaller than that. correct me if i’m wrong because i’m just starting to get into cameras as a hobby and i this this camera gives high quality for a hobbyist rather than for professional shooting for clients, more like professional shooting for yourself. do you agree?

[@kriedholm]

The a6700 has the same sensor as the fx30 and shoots in 10-bit 422, same as larger and more expensive cameras. Great for client work, too.

[@JoshForet]

Can you use the Atoll along with a cage or no?

[@kriedholm]

Doesn't work with any of the cages I have

[@visualsbykenji]

can i still use that ecm microphone if i use a smallrig full cage for that camera?

[@kriedholm]

Not if the cage covers the hot shoe

[@Ri_concept]

Your hair color sooo cool! 🔥

[@kriedholm]

Thank you!!

[@ValFolarin]

@@kriedholm it reminds me of that flavour of ice cream at baskin robbins that i like

[@starskymedia]

Very helpful, great video!

[@kriedholm]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for tuning in.

[@millerrd0725]

So the update doesn’t fix the overheating?

[@kriedholm]

Correct.

[@GorillaSmokeUSA]

Awesome video content!

[@kriedholm]

your audio is 1000%

[@kriedholm]

Thank you!

[@olzhasbaibulganov8131]

Just did a video shoot here in Miami and it was around 100 F and no overheating or something. 4K 60 frames. Great camera for its price and size. I had FX3 before the 6700 and in terms of video quality it is hard to tell the difference.

[@kriedholm]

That’s great!

[@FrankPersico]

You deff should have more subs! Great channel. My channel is music content thinking of adding the 6700 to the rig.

[@kriedholm]

Thanks Frank! The 6700 is a great camera. Great channel btw

[@FrankPersico]

@@kriedholmthanks. Built my channel w a zv1 and love the camera. I’m almost ready to bite the bullet: I’m torn between the sigma 16 and Sony 15 for it… it will mostly be for studio which makes me think the sigma is better ..BUT I may wanna take it along to travel and I am not to keen on the sigma being as large and heavy as it is. What say u?

[@kriedholm]

@FrankPersico can’t go wrong with either. Both great lenses!

[@FrankPersico]

@@kriedholmjust bought the camera with the sony 15… I. I can’t believe the instant change in quality with this cam coming from the zv1. One question: when I shoot vertical it doesn’t come up on the computer as vertical like with my zv1. I have to rotate it. Is that normal?

Your hair looks ridiculous
