Great rig, Ray! Thanks for your insights. Best wishes from Mexico City.

Thanks!! My father is from Mexico City! -Best, Ray

This is the best rig breakdown I’ve ever seen! I love how you name every accessory! I’ve watched so many videos where I’m like “what is that?!” Thanks for the detailed breakdown. Hopefully one day I’ll own all this gear lol

[@Bo_Hazem]

Very good stuff! ZGCine came with something similar with PD65, you can buy it with a nice dynamic arm that swivel, turn etc like th smallrig one.

[@Tom_Hoppins]

Great video! It really helped me with an alternative to the pricier V-mount plates. And its cool that you're using the Andycine Vmount batteries. Are you still able to use the D-tap ports on the battery as well?

[@RayValencia]

Thanks! Yes, you can still use all the ports on the battery too!

[@johnnybermudez]

Great vid. You don't have to step down USBC PD for the FX3? You're using just a USBC to USBC instead of using a Kondor Blue PD Delivery cable or something similar? Hasn't affected your cam? Happy Holidays brother.

Awesome rig! Does USB-C automatically regulate the current to 9V? Is there any risk of frying the camera over USB-C? Thanks!

Where can I buy the usbc cable to power fx30?

[@jaymejoyce6401]

Do you know of any camera bags (ideally not cases) that can accommodate this full build? I work on docs all the time and often need to be able to pick up the camera and go at a moment's notice for lots of run and gun -so wanna be able to transport this build 24/7...

[@anneallison6402]

Can you power your rig with usbc without a bettery connected? Can you charge the v mount battery while powering your camera/monitor at the same time?

how could I make this plate work with FX6?

[@RayValencia]

Hey! I have 2 different baseplates for the FX6 that have 15mm rod supports built into them (one is from Tilta and the other is the Universal shoulder pad by 8sinn). You could go that route, but the FX6 has to be powered through the DC port. There is no USB-C PD input port on that camera (USB-C PD on the FX3, a7IV, FX30, a7RV, a7S3. etc). I haven't done any FX6 rig videos here on the channel. Maybe I should start talking more about about the FX6 on here?

[@doseofdan1348]

@@RayValencia I see. Yea I’m looking for a v mount plate for my fx6 that allows me to keep the Sony battery in as bacj up but don’t want to spend 400 and get the wooden camera plate? And yes I would watch fx6 content all day. Love to see different builds and get ideas.

[@OutrMediaProduction]

Why not just buy the fx6?

[@RayValencia]

Ah yes…in addition to the FX3 I also have an FX6, a7IV, a7R3, and ZV-E10. I got a problem. 🫣🎥
