How to UPGRADE the Sony FX6!!

[@InDepthCine]

Thanks for the well put together video guys! I'm eying the FX6 at the moment for documentary work.

[@PeterV]

I would really love to see how you rigged out the FX6 with the DJI RS2!

[@JamesAlexanderMcC]

Thanks for the vids. Been giving you lads a fair bitta business since buying my fx6 and gear 🤣

[@johnclay7644]

Useful on fx6.

[@claudesadik]

I see the portkeys offers camera control features but I cannot find any video showcasing this. Do you know what can be done with this monitor and the Fx6? Thanks !

[@imabigsandwich1292]

Jake you are looking fantastic recently! Also great video as always going through a lot of detailed options, keep it up!

[@tomghzel]

I really miss REMOTE TOUCH FOCUS OPERATION via Content Browse Monitor (the Sony App!) we NEED this function guys!!

[@Realist-m9c]

I’m really you did not automatically go for V Locks, you showed the standard batteries also. Many KZbinrs go straight for V Locks (for looks) without mentioning the substantial cost of the batteries and the additional V lock chargers.

hii jake do u remember me? i was the 13yr old whom u talked to at the a1 premiere who had a passion on tech. u have hearted many of my comments. if u remember me i will be so happy or ok lets be new friends.

[@heraldocreative4735]

This is incredibly helpful. Looking to add just a little bit more weight to the overall rig. My option right now is Titla Advanced cage and the 28-135 PZ lens.

FX6 state of the union

[@PigWrangler]

Make a video on upgrading the Tilta Float lol.....I'm having a hell of a time getting it to be stedicam reliable (as in it not hitting other things on the rig while operating)

[@ryansulak]

it looked like those shotgun mics were still wobbling a heck of a lot, even with the spacers :/

[@tedkimbramley-lubin8420]

Hi, I really enjoy your videos, thanks for all the info. I am really struggling to find an FX6 here in France. I wonder how availability is in the UK? Also when I do get one I will contact you regarding the DJI Ronin set up. Thanks again.

[@LivingLife972]

question, so it looks like right now the FX6 is about $6,000. can you tell me about the estimate cost of the other needed gear - mics, mounts, lenses that one would need to buy in addition to operate this camera? not the extra things, but just the other things that is necessary. would it be an additional $3K - $5K? Thanks

[@SpencerStanley]

Awesome video! What is the rubber spacer that you used to fit the Rode videomic NTG into the shotgun microphone holder?

[@Studio23creation]

If only it was possible to buy this cam...! out of sale since january in france, preorders only, and big french camera sellers told me sellers from january are still waiting for their FX6. this would be due to two japanese factories who were destroyed, by fire i believe (not sure).

[@RobertJacksonb-roll]

Hi, Is there a FX 6 setup video for beginners that you recommend?

[@bananasandbass]

The Shinobi SDI isn’t made anymore… good luck finding it.

[@juranicolas7129]

Can you clear up why the Shinobi SDI was taken off the market? There is no mention anywhere about if it's just temporarily gone or if it will be replaced or why.

[@CVPTV]

There's a graphic where I mention it saying that it's been discontinued now :( sorry Jake

[@juranicolas7129]

@@CVPTV yeeahh I saw it and edited my comment later but you were too fast to reply :D Do you kow why it was discontinued?

[@kamikaze1213]

@@juranicolas7129 I’m still shooting with an FS700R with a Shogun, Atomos has moved those into “Legacy” products. I think all R&D has gone into the Ninja as it now offers all possible options, plus ProRes RAW via the newest firmware. I hope that helps.

[@proteus1]

What accessories do you support for the A7s3. If I want to use the cameras too end recording capabilities.

[@johnhuijbregts]

Many thanks!

[@randyburleson]

which EVF would you recommend?

[@AndyBui]

what monitor arm do you recommend for the Ninja V?

[@robfilios2070]

Thank you for this and many other reviews. I'm actually looking at shooting a Pilot with the camera but have never used it. I have a Ronin RS2 and would love to know how you would rig it. I was thinking of purchasing the "Tilta Advanced Ring Grip for DJI RS 2 Gimbal" for more rigging options and control. I will be having a first AC so I will need wireless follow focus for this rig. What are your thoughts?

[@samworkman4206]

thanks for the vid guys! I'm looking to do sound with a mix pre 6 any recommendations there?

[@CVPTV]

The Mixpre's are incredibly solid devices, what advice are you wanting? Jake

[@samworkman4206]

@@CVPTV well I'm looking to sync timecode ideally wirelessly but i sank money into the mixer and the only way I've found was the tenticle sync e. is there another way you've heard of? and if thats a bust i guess just how would ya'll set up the fX6 to work with a mix pre 6

[@Eforbesy31]

Can we get a C70 version of this video!?

[@CVPTV]

Absolutely, it's next on our list! Jake

[@eddytkirk]

Can someone finally do one of these videos for the URSA Mini Pro G2? I'm at my wit's end trying to work around the EVF!

[@CVPTV]

Hey Eddy, I will add it to the list of cameras we have for the Upgrade series! Jake

[@paulusschmaulus101]

@@paulusschmaulus101 That is on the list too Paul! Jake

[@simonbourrat8884]

Thank you

[@ash.walton]

You mention the Shinobi Sdi as a monitor option, but you only sell the Hdmi version?

[@CVPTV]

There's a graphic where I mention it saying that it's been discontinued now :( Jake

[@ricr.4669]

we want FX6 ver 2 in one piece camcorder style

[@randyburleson]

Are there any audio input adapter options if you remove the top handle? 9

[@CVPTV]

No there is not. Jake

[@omniges]

Sachtler aktiv6 head $1400 + sachtler tripod $1500 … i think i will just make due with a $60 heavy duty tripod for now

[@videoeditorbloke]

What lens have you got on the FX6 there when it's on the RS2? Is it the 18-105 lens (so it doesn't change length at different zoom lengths)? If so, whats the autofocus like on that (since it's a slightly older lens)?

[@user-dh5fp4gw1b]

Im not really into cinema cameras but maybe a more expensive lens or a prime would pair better with a 6/7 thousand dollar cam?

[@videoeditorbloke]

Funny enough, that wasn't the question... I'm after a budget lens to use on a gimbal on a Sony mirrorless B camera, so was interested to know whether that particular lens is any good with its autofocus.

[@user-dh5fp4gw1b]

@@videoeditorbloke oh my bad I thought you had the fx6 yourself. Jeah its really good, af also and the fact that it doesnt extend is a really good thing for a gimbal

[@videoeditorbloke]

@@user-dh5fp4gw1b Thanks for the info... I've actually had an FX6 on backorder from CVP for a few months now (massively delayed by global shortage), and intend to use more expensive lenses on that - that's why I'm looking at a budget lens for my other camera at the moment!

[@user-dh5fp4gw1b]

@@videoeditorbloke nice dude! Whats your b cam? Ive heard that lens was the best allround lens for everything basically, i myself have the tamron 28-75 also REALLY good

[@willmax95]

When I dont have the top handle on mine, my fx6 still records audio

[@CVPTV]

It has scratch audio, but you cannot plug a audio source with the handle off. Jake

[@MuwexTech]

FX9? :)

[@gurugamer8632]

Is the the Panasonic AU EVA1 better than FX6?

[@CVPTV]

I would suggest the FX6 over the EVA-1 for most people if you can get hold of one! Jake

[@gurugamer8632]

@@CVPTV I’m looking for documentary cinematic camera. Why do you think FX6 is better choice over eva1? I know it has bigger full frame sensor anything else

[@pixmax3077]

HA ha- by the time you add all that stuff you will have spent the cost of the camera again and missed the shot. And it will weigh more than my 10 year old PDW 800 XD Cam
