Sony a7S III Follow-Up: Updates, SD Cards, XLR-K3M, & External Recording

[@gabeminetti]

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

[@ColeDeRuse]

It’s the only time I don’t skip the ads. I legit listen for audio quality differences lol

[@MitchDrescher]

No, not hats off. Hats on. Next to the pool

[@BS_Media]

Literally one of the smartest and most creative KZbinrs on the platform right now!

[@JoeCnNd]

It's a good way for not having people skip through it.

[@PapeSan]

What you’re doing for (future) owners of this camera is amazing. Thanks from France !

[@a.z2972]

He’s helping us who have it now also 😉

[@redfield8758]

Salut Pape San ! Alors cet A7SIII c'est ta nouvelle caméra ? Comment ça va en Corée ?J'apprécie tes vidéos, continue comme ça !

[@PapeSan]

@@redfield8758 Merci l'ami!! Oui je vais en acheter une mais elle est encore en rupture de stock :/

[@comtebilou]

Pareil.

[@DNdavidsonsnation]

Oui oui 🥖

[@Brownboy42069]

There is nothing more I want from KZbin right now than long Gerald videos about the a7S III

[@a.z2972]

Cant agree more

[@a.z2972]

Mark Vasquez got mine two and a half weeks ago, it’s unbelievably good you won’t be disappointed

[@MatthewEncina]

Love how thorough your reviews are. I think these last two reviews are edging me over to convert from Canon mirrorless.

[@PeterLindgren1]

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!

[@geraldundone]

Thanks, Peter! And thanks for sharing your notes on those cards. 👍

[@jasonnowwhat5041]

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 🤘🏻

[@cbflazaro]

my main issue with CFE A is that theres only the sony ones and they're also small. i want 256GB

[@hassholl59]

for me : Sometimes the Lexar V90 also seems to report as a V60 - switching the A7Siii off and on again seems to reset this.....

[@GLEZPhotographyFreeClips]

I bought that camera about 3 weeks ago and I love it. Can’t believe I could live without it for so many years.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

BAM! Love the shout out! BAM! Go Terry!

[@Wintergatan]

Very helpful content, thank you so much for making these!

[@carlseiler]

Fancy seeing you here. Just watched a video of yours today. :)

[@MisterSweetProductions]

@@carlseiler you guys should get married

[@DarkLiberatorZone]

Your videos are insane. So much detail and work into them. Well done.

[@malachimerriam1640]

I don’t know why, but you doing a storyblocks sponsor is so much better than anyone else’s.

[@Nujola]

Now that Is the slickest way to keep us from zooming through the sponsorship section we’re outraged 👍🏾

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

I liked that transition to Storyblocks, normally I often skip sponsors, but not this time.

[@amitkrupal1234]

Man that last part & intro. No doubt about content & doubt clarifications, but I never get bored of Gerald's Videos.

[@kustoo]

Another banger, Thanks, Gerald.

[@geraldundone]

Cheers, Jacques!

[@petersuvara]

Finally have this setup! :) A bit under two years later! And it still does the job.

[@RayRayNNj]

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 ✅

[@zollotech]

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.

[@TaylorMoore4K]

“I’m Gerald Undone, and all I want is the perfect camera.”

[@broskivisuals]

Haha. Camera Conspiracy gonna get mad and add more Toneh

[@Fostit]

I see what you did there, good stuff.

[@shanemartinphoto2974]

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!!

[@77jairomorales]

Gerald has the best reviews hands down! Ur awsome!

[@DA_Fuller]

Loving my Sunday morning Gerald Undone video! Another excellent techie episode.

[@theofficialwinner]

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.

[@TheHoleshoes]

the most useful camera reviews on youtube are here. thanks for your work

[@MitchSoda]

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 :)

[@DeeptenSarkar]

Came for the nerdy content. Liked for the CAPITAL 7

[@Pochoxx97]

i dont understand whats the deal with the capital 7, please tell me :c im innocent :C

[@ErikLifted]

thank you so much Gerald, your brain works so fast i have to rewatch the SD Card section a couple of times 😭😭😭

[@ErikLifted]

*or i have probably an old Class 2 Brain 😂

[@kevinanastacio8529]

You kill it every time! Information gold!

[@TVGestalter]

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.

[@hansmeyer1000]

Really like how you mix adds with useful content (mic test). Thank you for that

[@HeresMo]

Uppercase 7 was the most entertaining part of the video... Brilliant

[@thecoldestone4487]

YO!!!! This guys Audio game is Phenomenal

[@robertseagle629]

I’m Gerald Undone, “and I always capitalize my 7’s”

[@Praxiszooms]

wow this is very specifc and detailed. I think you are by far the best detailed review out there. FANTASTIC!

[@dougsfan9984]

I don't have a Sony, in fact I don't have any camera besides my phone now but I still watch all your videos lol

[@adamreich745]

What’s happening everybody? I’m Gerald Undone... and you’re not.

[@Tokyo_Views]

Sony A7Siii looks like a beast. Also loving your channel! Stay safe!

[@bennyGGs]

Thank you for actually getting the SD card info right! So many other sayings V90 only. Much appreciated!

[@duaneoldham4760]

Your reviews are awesome. Thanks for the technical breakdowns. Every video you make...I'll be watching you :)

[@NabilKhanVisuals]

I subconsciously click on ur videos the second i see them XD always PACKED with knowledge! THANKS!

[@giacomom2370]

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!

[@pilchthomas]

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

[@mikifrances-correia1328]

this video was very helpful but only mildly entertaining

[@120fps]

And the award for the greatest thumbnail 🙌🙌

[@burgunbeerd]

Prograde owes you a thankyou. Their price to performance has made me feel much better about storage for the a7siii and fx6

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Thanks on the 120p vs 60 ... I was wondering myself.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

LMAO!! Capital 7!! Thanks for the answer. You either do MASSIVE research, have a MASSIVE 🧠 or both. Just got my a7S III (

[@chennyye28]

a SEVEN S III

[@desmondmacnamara6068]

Captial 7 is Sony's middle name.

[@Docfly62]

Hey Gerald. I see the next Studios Undone with Kevin lol

[@BasicFilmmaker]

@@Docfly62 That would be cool. Unfortunately, until [insert virus word here] let’s up, my wife has to quarantine for 10 days for her job if she or I come into contact with anyone traveling. ☹️

[@westdoc]

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.

[@_tographer]

I’m glad you format the name right with the capital 7

[@lucasgibbonsmedia]

So much information packed into such a great video

[@lesliedougan2246]

I like the way you audio tested Gerald Brilliant 10 out 10.

[@sliceofmymind]

I am an official Panasonic (S1H/GH5), Fujifilm (XT-4), and now Sony (a7SIII) user. Because of you Gerald. STOP making these great videos that showcase how awesome these cameras are and how to work around their flaws. You will notice I don't have the other brand that people love so much. No hidden cripples for me.

[@elmachomen]

Love your videos Gerald, keep up the good work. Also, it was a nice touch the 'inception' shot @10:23

[@BarttRoman]

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! :)

[@storyclothfilms]

Thank you, Gerald Undone! Appreciate all the work you’ve put into these videos. Subscribed.

[@Ali_ReBORN]

Miles’s question gets no entry in the video 😆 this cracked me up Gerald! Bless you brother, love your random jokes!

[@rajeevkugan]

I'm literally using your luts today for a shoot to convert from slog3 :) you a legend. Thank you

[@bobsykes]

There is so much useable information here, it is amazing. Thanks, again.

[@timpolster]

Another helpful video Gerald. Thanks.

[@davidjohnbalce1111]

OMG, thank you for listening to my question about the 2nd Base ISO. Keep up the good work and wish you more success 😁😁

[@theothervalentin]

Pleasure to watch as always :) Love my A7siii, thanks for all the tips & tricks!

[@Bigstubs1]

Rock solid advice as always. Thanks Gerald . I just knew there was a payoff to keep listening. Cheers.

[@SmashMoufEnterprises]

Glad to see all the big KZbinrs have their camera Sony while us small people still are waiting.

[@MelonTL_YH2]

Loved this walkthrough, easy to understand and def found the card use helpful.

[@tedsword5432]

How you manage to pull off these intros with a straight face remains beyond me ..

[@camgregg9971]

GENIUS way to get us to actually watch the ad haha

[@Karthig1987]

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?

[@GeorgeCanyonMusic]

thx Gerald for all the info...very helpful !!

[@ScottHartman]

If you keep making these a7S III videos I'm just going to have to continue to watch them.

[@whoismatt]

I think upper case numbers are Canadian thing maybe? 😜

[@JonPais]

😂

[@makatron]

Indeed Matt. 😂😂

[@meriachee]

It could be but the supply for Canada is in hiding. :(

[@spritual_enlightenment]

Didn't know that yet.

[@RyanLennoxBradley]

That intro gave my the chills

[@ParthasarathyPadhee]

This is a very useful video for us. Thank you so much for the educative material.

[@ramdogproductions]

Get my a (Capital7) S iii on the 23rd.. Keep these videos going!! Tanks

[@Sam-mc2dk]

Another video I need to rewatch a few times. Thanks Gerald. Great info.

[@techable7524]

Amazing value in this video. Thanks man!

[@FelmanVega]

Loving your elbow light, awesome!!!

[@stucarter]

Thanks for helping with the audio. The 4-channel inputs are important to me.

[@francesconavarro2725]

Extremely helpful, informative and entertaining! Thank you!

[@gurudhamal5803]

I love how Gerald compelled Apple and Blackmagic to support proresRAW

[@carlborgen]

Great use of ad-time 😃 as microphone test! Genius

[@chr1staki]

I’m just here for the purple 💟

[@mvvagner]

You convinced me. I'm getting Undone

[@6d347277696e]

There are "uppercase numbers", kind of. You did use that. Lowercase numbers would be the non-lining, aka old style numerals.

[@LetsGoBJONES]

On a roll with these videos~ Keep up the good work mate~!!

[@Justinian42]

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!

[@zackallen8759]

Use external recorder, jam using tentacle sync and their studio software... super easy, super fast, better quality audio and 1/2 the cost of the Sony xlr adapter

[@JustVoss]

I went to leave a thumbs up and glanced at the sub button... and well, I would have bet and lost A LOT of money that I was subbed already.

[@PaulFeinberg]

Very informative video as always. The SD card explaining Was very helpful

[@JulioCesarManzoJr]

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!

[@mymazdarx7issilver]

Thank you so much for this information... most appreciated

[@HaHaaHamza]

I gotta give kudos to testing the mics over the story blocks sponsored portion...genius 🧠

Another great video. Maybe it’s my headphones, maybe it’s KZbin , 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

[@redfield8758]

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 ;)

[@ThePeopleWeMeet]

Hello. Just wondering if you can get continuous Autofocus with the MC-11?

[@Visualsfromthenorthbytk]

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.

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Thanks, Gerald! 👍🏾

[@DefiniteFiction]

I don't shoot Sony, but the a7SIII series of videos has been fantastic. This video sparked an idea for me and my Nikon Z6 cameras - I can buy an Atomos Ninja V and a 1TB SSD for the price of a 1TB CFExpress card. I bring this up to illustrate this point: a well executed video on a piece of technology will apply beyond that piece of technology.

[@MylonasFilms]

serioulsy mate your'e a bloody legend. I needed this. You are my go to man for sONY cAMS ETC
