Flying my Sony a7S3 on an FPV drone.

[@Benn_TK]

Never thought I'd see the day where I put my baby on one of these drones, I'm keen to see what results a fixed sensor camera will give me. I did try Sony Catalyst software but had bad results, even worse in fact even with IBIS off. However some people seem to have had good results with this too. But I'm glad I went through all this to help you get the upper hand when looking at cine lifters. Please read the comments below as some people have been super helpful with great information on this topic. We are getting back into the regular travel content next week! and I'm so excited to show you what I've been working on!

You’ve got some balls flying over the ocean with that thing. Awesome video Ben. Was on the the edge of my seat for most of it haha

This is how FPV *_should be done!_* I LOVE the little inconsistencies/wobbles. I'm over the GoPro Fisheye + Reelsteady look at this point haha. Keep this up my man!!

[@Benn_TK]

Me too man! Im never happy with the footage i get from the go pro. Definitely going to invest some more time into cine lifters and cine cams ✌️

[@vitalvisualz]

there is a A7siii sensor hack I found out and I’ll show when I receive my thicc 2.0

Honestly dude... I dont care about the footage.. Im here for your story telling! You know what? Whenever I see ur videos, they inspire me to do more. Because You show how much struggle and obstacles you must to overcome to make a good video. My father did not teach me how to reach goals or work on self improvement.. Im 31 yo now and u inspire me dude! Much of love

[@hellonovembersun1539]

Great work Benn. And so much color grade improvement.

[@just.keep.moving.]

I found your channel yesterday and the first vid was about moving to Bali. I gotta say, it was so valuable to see someone open up like that. Specially about hair 😅

[@captainvanover]

would recommend getting a different cinelifter, if you are gonna go the route of buying one pre built, then id go with something from quad standard labs or catalyst machine works

[@KwadLife]

Hey Vanny, did you flew the Taurus X8?

[@maximmathonet]

It was cool to see your journey and the idea come to life✌

[@sanibLangthasa]

Its always awesome to see such cool fly

[@RGMGFitness]

First..what an awesome location for fpv! 🤙🤙 In my opinion, cliffs like that are just amazing for FPV footage. Thanks for the insight on the cameras. Also, man is hiking 🥾 dangerous where you live! 😳😳. 🤙🤙

[@Benn_TK]

The cliffs were perfect, one of my favorite location, I haven't seen a snake in like 6 years here and saw 2 in the last week haha its usually not that bad but goes to show always gotta be careful

[@nicholasbrown8384]

You played the perfect song at 8:00 (Run Boy Run - Woodkid). Also, delightful footage!

[@ellgimogi_internationalcouple]

I applaud your passion! ☺

[@mbabs23]

wow. absolutely amazing! 😍

[@ianyunis3580]

I also have the Taurus x8, been flying it stock with a zcam and love it. It's unfortunate that IBIS causes such crazy vibrations as the a7s3 is gorgeous. I would recommend loosening the rubber buffers again if you put a fixed sensor camera on it. Even though it helped with the sony, having those so tight is actually mitigating their effectiveness for a fixed sensor camera, should you eventually put one on top! Great video and looking forward to seeing more!

[@Benn_TK]

Some good info her thanks for that! Id love to try again with a fixed sensor cam 👌

[@robwiensmedia]

Absolutely sikk man! Love the effort!

[@incrediblefly7171]

I can learn a lot from watching your video thank you so much my virtual teacher ☺

Dude, this video made me smile so much. Just watching you push the limits of your FPV drone. Very inspiring to an aspiring content creator : ).

[@chhouchhoustrong3496]

All Your Videos Production I Am Really Love You So Much TK

[@joshuacappello]

The absolute journey in this video is insane, the footage at the end is to die for

[@tysonfaa]

footage to die for? Whta are you even talking about!? The footage was soft and not good at all... THat's the whole point of this video.. all that work and the footage is still trash because of the internal floating sensor.

[@DaBeast34]

Really high quality video, good work

[@JustinormousFPV]

Glad you figured out the IBIS thing. Was gonna mention it as it’s the reason I can’t fly my A7iii. Can’t wait to get a Black magic in the air!

[@hellohogo]

as someone who has gone through this exact process, i can say that the sony is absolutely not the best option for flight just yet. Good on you for allowing us to see your failure as well as your moderate success. It really helps the community to be so honest.

[@chrismonsen]

Amazing video, thank you so much. I've learned so much from your experience!

[@rawforest92]

I'm very inspired of your work Benn always.

[@aaronmiles3846]

Hey Benn, great video as always. Just a quick tip: you may have better results turning off all active stabilisation and using Sony catalyst to stabilise the footage in post. As you know, the A7SIII has a gyroscopic sensor, so if you turn off all active stabilisation, the exact off-centre movements relative to the axis will be recorded onto the sensor. Warp stabiliser makes a guess as what those adjustments need to be, but Sony Catalyst will be able to do it precisely. Good luck!

[@Benn_TK]

Thanks brother! I did try this but the results were actually worse, however it seems many have also had good results with catalyst. So maybe ill try again

[@vitalvisualz]

@@Benn_TK many forget when using the any stabilization program especially catalyst the shutter speed needs to be cranked up to remove any micro jitters in post when IBIS is off

[@zachmachina]

This isn't exactly correct as even with ibis off, the sensor will still jitter. You have to have your sensor locked into place. Any camera with ibis doesn't have that. The best cameras for fpv drones have no ibis for this reason. The BMPCC 4K is a better cinelifter camera for this reason. If your camera has IBIS, you have to physically stick something in the camera to jam the sensor into place. Works for some people but not what I'd want to do to my a7siii lol

[@ishtiaqueahmed7443]

What I love with this kind of videos is your perseverance for perfection but at the same time, it makes miserable when I look of how little money I have on my bank account for buying a drone kit for my startup that I have founded.

[@LanaandCam]

Awesome work Benn! So cool to see you break down your learning curve with that absolute monster. You've got major kahonas flying that setup full send, what a Skuxxxxxxx! Excited to see the results you get with no IBIS!

[@Benn_TK]

Haha Thanks brother! Always an adrenaline rush flying that beast. Keen to see the no ibis results too! ✌️

[@howardhughes6212]

That's pretty cool. I own a sony a7c and I'd be too scarred to strap it to a drone. My a6400 I don't mind breaking but losing a full frame camera would crush my soul.

[@manojmohan7264]

Love the narration style

[@TeipelFilms]

Awesome footage you achieved there! It looks a little soft though. Maybe this is because of diffraction blur because you stopped all the way down to F22?! I would love to see how it comes out when turning off stabilization, increasing shutter speed and using catalyst browse for post stabilization!

[@DavidLe.2024]

Hello....Nice to meet u ! 😍😍😍😍

[@JIMMY_NEMESIS]

Im more impress of your courageous putting a 5K camera and fly over the ocean 😵🤯 was holding my heart But footage is amazing, cant match that with any on board drone cam

[@franzs1]

you should ask the "cinequads" team, they stripped bmpcc and a komodo. super small, light, and the result are impressive shots

[@thomas_weinreich]

this man has some heavy pair of balls... I would never put my camera on a FPV no matter how safe it is xD

[@WillHsuAerial]

Man that backpack looks heavy. Guess I have the same problem with my GH5 even with the ibis off. Thanks for sharing this information.

[@BlackHoleFPV]

Catalyst works well with the right tuning if ever. and if you are looking for a way to block the ibis we have tuned it up and it works without vibration, a stab on catalyst and you get the perfect image;)

[@dikiyulio]

Gokil

[@sebastianlang1014]

I have been flying the A7SIII on a X8 quad with my friend Ivan Merino and the shots came out super smooth on the first try! Image stab switched on! I don't think that the IBIS is the issue!? 🤔

Woo. The FPV drone can handle Sony A7Siii with len. As always you introduced great content.

You need bigger motors and esc for cinelifters. Them puny 2806.5 aint cutting it for anything but slow forward flight in no wind. Also solid choice on the Woodkid, seen him at Coachella, was awsome!

It's just incredible but the most impressive is having enough confidence to dare to put your A7SIII on a fpv drone above the sea with maybe turbulence. Well done my guy
