Who's buying a Sony A6700 for sports videography?

[@hehey8596]

I probably am. I really want 4k60fps for basketball cause i use an a6400 rn and im on a budget. I record in clips and not one continuous shot so I should be cool right? And I also do some photography(mainly warmups)

[@tanner.quintero]

I'm debating about buying one for Car Photography, I'm still not sure mainly because I dont know with APSC lens should be the best option

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@hehey8596 It's a great hybrid camera for people like you who want to do both. But I film in clips too and, as you saw in the video, it doesn't prevent overheating at all.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@tanner.quintero Not sure... I don't do much photography. But full frame lenses work with it too so you don't have to limit your choice to APS-C ones.

[@tanner.quintero]

@@BeyondTheGame_E with lens would you say is the best all around? 16-55 2.8? Or 18-105 F4?

[@petersarellas]

Love the detail and honesty in this review!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I appreciate that, thanks!

[@Claysoldier456]

I bought my sony a6700 and SIGMA 24-70 together last year, and I mainly use it for sports videography. I put a cage and handle for a better grip and monitor handle, and I use a Ulanzi cooling fan to keep temperatures down. The fan is certainly a game changer with this camera. I think this does everything the sony FX30 does and more (better for photography) but the only downside being the overheating. Adding the fan, and keeping it at the highest setting brings down the temperatures a lot, and it's as easy as leaving it plugged in to an external battery for unlimited fan usage. This is the "do it all" camera and you can keep it small and light, or rig it up to have it preform like an fx30. Great camera I would honestly prefer to have the sony FX3 over the a6700 or FX3, but with the price its non negotiable for casual to semi-professional use. I'd even argue with proper rigging, this can be used for professional use cases, like I will be doing in the near future.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Fair assessment 👍🏽

[@its.inframe]

Isnt't the 24-70 a bit too tight on the wider end when you use it with a crop body like the a6700? I have been using the fx30 for some time now and feel the tamron 17-70 2.8 is a much better option, one more thing to add on is the shutter angle which I think is totally a game changer and time saver for me as I switch a lot between frame rates in run and gun situations and dont have to change the shutter angle once I set it to 180°

[@dr.s5688]

How do you avoid shaky video with the Sigma lens?

[@GUNPLAOFEL]

Here is the thing. The A6700 is a great hybrid budget APC camera, for cinematic videos and photos. But filming at 4k 120fps all the time is too heavy for overheating its logic. I understand the expectation of filming for sports events is a great disappointment. For that, I recommend the FX30 and FF FX3 over the A6700 for sports events as some in the comments say. Because it has a fan and two Card slots that gives more benefit than the a6700. I will buy the A6700 for other purposes and it will be my first camera with changeable lenses. I have owned the Sony ZV1 for over 3 years and I am ready for the next step I did a lot of research before. I know that this camera will suit my needs. Really nice that you make more content about sports videography camera reviews keep doing that.

[@NARRASSAFilmes]

Exactly what I did. I bought it for my b cam as main cam is fx30. Is perfect to gimbal work and short clips!! I use it a lot.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.

[@3r_media]

at 4k60 i’ve recorded an entire college basketball game. i record in clips as well and also i used the Ulanzi fan (not continuously). this is my first Sony camera but there is a lot of heat management involved for high quality video

[@JeffsWay.]

I'd been contemplating buying a A6700 for a while, but the overheating issues concerned me. Your view is spot on, where many just say it's not really an issue, or just buy a Ulanzi fan. I felt putting a fan on the plastic back would only help slightly, as you are not actually cooling the working parts. I ended up forking over the extra $400 for the FX30 with a built in fan, and I'm glad I did. Thanks for the honest review!

[@DirtWireTV]

I’m using the a6700 professionally but I’m an extreme run and gun weirdo. I mainly shoot mountain bike events where I’m often riding a bike with my camera in a bag then whipping it out to get my shots. I went a6700 over FX30 because I find the viewfinder useful in bright light situations (can’t be mounting a monitor in most cases). Haven’t experienced overheating issues but the longest clips I shoot are interviews that last maybe 5 minutes and I’m mostly shooting outdoors. Works for me but, like I said, I’m not normal.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Sounds like it’s the perfect camera for you!

[@trialtracktrail4886]

What’s your setup lens wise with this camera? I’m looking at doing the same thing! But more with motocross with a bit of MTB thrown in.

[@DirtWireTV]

@@trialtracktrail4886 mostly use the Sony G 18-105. Thought about replacing it but I can’t really justify it. It does the job.

[@trialtracktrail4886]

@@DirtWireTV ah fair enough, I already run that lens just on an older a6000 and yeh it is pretty solid so I see your point

[@Phungtastic]

Dummy battery and v-mount definitely helps take out a lot of heat from the camera. Overheating is still possible - but not nearly as quick to compared to native battery.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

In my case it didn't make any difference unfortunately. The dummy battery would get just as hot as a normal battery.

[@JET34568]

Nope. I thought about it a few months ago but decided on the S5ii instead. Best purchase I have ever made! Used my S5ii outdoors filming lacrosse at 90+ degrees with no issues.

[@SmetcH_13]

Ulanzi came out with V2 od the fan which uses spring latch instead of too weak suction cups.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yeah I talk about it towards the end of the video.

[@ChrisParayno]

Thank you for this. I was on the fence about this, now i know ill be going for thr fx30.

[@HazzTube]

I use the Ulanzi fan and no more heat issue. I tested for hours of continuous use. No problems. One nice fact is that the fan fits on back of the camera and stays in place.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yeah I tested one in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipOcc6OVp9l6fcU and the results were great for me too!

[@Wildbom]

Congrats on being on Sony’s list! I am wondering how the ZV-E1 would perform! I remember you posted a video saying it is not recommended, but I want to see it work! I hope you consider making a video about it just like this!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yeah it’s a great idea. I’d like to test it as well.

[@40beretta1]

The over heading is the battery.. As we are now learning... like EVs lithium batteries are dangerous. where the external fan hooks up won't kool down the battery which is the danger issue

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

True, most of the heat is concentrated around the battery. But the real issue is that mirrorless cameras are build for photo first and their size and build is not ideal for the demand of filming in 4K for long periods of time.

[@schoeferfilm]

Great video 👏 i filmed our german basketball Top Four two weeks ago only with my new ZVE1 and two lenses 🎥 Sony 20 mm 1.8 and the Tamron 50-400 mm f4 😉 all handheld 🙈 but this small cam beast is awesome 😅 no overheating problems !

[@SamiIssa]

So can you confirm if there is no overheating if shooting 10bit 4k for about 5 minutes max and then stopping let's say for 10-15mins and shoot again? because mainly I will use it for commercials and music videos where footage never exceeds 5mins. I would go for the FX30 but due to the shutter I prefer the 6700.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I can't make any promises since ultimately it depends on the conditions, but you should be fine. What's the problem with the FX30 shutter?

[@SamiIssa]

@@BeyondTheGame_E as far as I understand the fx30 due to the electronic shutter is bad in taking pictures in closed places.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@SamiIssa Bad is a very strong way to put it. The way I see it, just because there's a better option available doesn't mean that this one is bad. It just means it's slightly less good.

[@Freewxll614]

Appreciate the review and info as always! I’ve been looking into getting an FX30 and would love to know what other alternatives you would suggest if I’m coming from an a6400… Which I love but a camera with better video specs and low light performance would be nice

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

To be honest, any Sony camera that's more expensive than the A6400 is technically better. A7III, A7IV, A7C, A6700, ZV-E1, take your pick... It just depends how much money you're willing to spend. But if your priority is low light performance, I would go for a full frame camera.

[@jessemeyer4034]

I'm in the same boat and would like to use all the e-mount lenses I've acquired. Is the FX30 the best option for those looking to extend the life of e-mount?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@jessemeyer4034 All Sony cameras use e-mount. So, yes the FX30 is a great option, but there are also better ones like the FX3, FX6, FX9. It just depends on your budget.

@@BeyondTheGame_E up to 500 USD, workable?

Great video like always! I'm sure you answered this for somebody else but wondering what lens you were filming with in this video? Thanks so much! Edit: I found the comment, now wondering if you have any recommendations for cheaper alternatives?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Here’s a video with cheaper alternatives: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ6qlYqbqpV_gsksi=jh5G3dote_AcFEM-

[@photoangelov]

The a6700 is a tiny camera and needs all the help it can get with overheating. These Ulanzi fans, that everyone seems to be reviewing and recommending are just that - fans, blowing against the back of the camera. There's a much more robust solution, that not many people talk about - the Tilta a6700 Lightweight Kit: cage + handle + cooling. The fan in that kit is also a heatsink and it mounts securely to the cage (it can only mount to that specific cage - it's not universal). It actually presses against the back of the camera with a thermal pad. The cage itself also helps with heat dissipation. Yes, it's a more expensive solution, but it actually works properly.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

That would be a cool thing to test at a sporting event for sure.

[@jaymills1720]

Great video! I shoot some sports for my team. It just also want to shoot 1 hour long videos for podcasts at 4k24p. Also want a camera for travel so slim body. A7c2, a6700, zve1 … ? Any suggestions.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

All the cameras you mentioned can do what you're after. I would probably get an external fan as well just in case though. And if you want the best image quality, go with a full frame option.

4K 24p is ok with open screen, though the fan is no that expensive and adds calm to the shooting. Definitely. It is not that slim as it seems. 😅 every generation of Sony gets thicker.

[@joashnyarko6936]

this was a great video. What shutter speed did you use for the 60fps footage. its hard to get 60fps footage to look that cinematic .

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thanks! But I’m not sure about the shutter speed. It was probably 1/200 or 1/250. Something like that.

[@Tatalino7]

[@dronetheworld4k67]

With the original sony kit lens:- Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens (Black) Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS Lens How good are those lens for low light ? Ofc am coming from a 1" sensor camera at 2.8 apt which kinda sux at low light... Will i see big improvement ?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

It's probably going to be better than a 1" sensor. But those kit lenses are not great for low light. Low light is typically the reason why people upgrade their kit lenses.

[@TheRiehlThing42]

I've done astrophotography with a Rokinnon 12mm 1.8, and it worked great. The 20mm 2.8 Sony prime also worked well for astrophotography. I'm not sure on videography for lowlight though. I have a Tamron 17-70mm 2.8 that I use a ton, for portraits and such, it should work well for lowlight videography too, if you're looking for a quality zoom lens. That's been my go to lens lately. Almost never leaves my camera.

I must’ve missed it, but what frame rate do you film with? I use 24fps, and wonder about the overheating for my use. I don’t film sports, but I do a lot of outdoor film work.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I filmed in both 60 & 120fps. Filming outdoors in 24fps, you should be fine but there are other variables to consider like the bitrate and the color depth.

[@edwardelric5841]

I’m looking to get into sports videography myself and the a6700 is the camera I was looking at because of the price. So if I do purchase the camera, the main consensus is that I should use a dummy battery and mount along with the fan? Is that it?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

The fan will make a big difference. The dummy battery not so much.

[@ronaldlee3537]

The difference between the DX(A6700) and the FX camera is the not only in the body, but also FX lenses are roughly doubled that of DX, and they are also bigger and heavier. For being unobtrusive is important.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

What do you mean by FX lenses? These cameras can both use the same lenses. If anything, there’s more variety to pick from with the FX30 since it is an aps-c camera.

[@CPerryTravels]

Great video! I’ve used the a6700 for the past 4 months when I travel and it’s been amazing 😁 When you film in 60fps and 120fps do you use a 30p or 24p timeline when editing?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thank you! And yes I typically edit in a 24p timeline.

[@CPerryTravels]

Gotcha! Of course 60fps makes good slow motion but if you want to keep part of a 60fps clip in full speed on a 24p timeline, does it cause any choppy/jittery moments in the clip? I assume that 60fps full speed will look smooth on a 30p timeline since 30 is a factor of 60?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@CPerryTravels Technically yes, 60fps footage will be slightly jittery because some frames are being skipped. But it is incredibly hard to notice even if you try. The only time you could maybe see it would be during steady camera movements like pans and tilts. here's a video I made about this topic kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4bVmZ9_gt-qkLc

SONY just released a firmware update for the a6700 that seems to have fixed the overheating issues. You should take another look!

Unfortunately I don't have the camera anymore. But hopefully this firmware update does the trick. Although overheating is more of a hardware issue than firmware.

In the context of sports videography, it doesn't make much of a difference. There's always a bunch of people in your shot simultaneously and any camera will struggle in that situation because it's impossible for a camera to know which subject you want to focus on.

But considering that I'm sitting on a chair the whole time while my camera is on a tripod, any camera with eye tracking would do a great job.

To be honest, I have no idea if you can take photos and film at the same time. There's probably a way but I've never done it.

The same one I reviewed in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gouUn5t7bbNkmJYsi=O2g69LXpIpeToMF1

[@THMXCO]

Did you have the temp tolerance set to high?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yes I did.

[@chrisppagl]

what lens was used for this video?

[@CarCareHelp]

I am from Pakistan weather remain hot here, a6700 get over heat, please suggest, should i replace it with fx30 or otherwise

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Either that or get a Ulanzi cooling fan. But the FX30 remains the most reliable option.

[@CarCareHelp]

@@BeyondTheGame_E infact ulanzi fan work ?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@CarCareHelp Like I said, it definitely helps but it's not as reliable as having an internal fan like in the FX30.

[@CarCareHelp]

@@BeyondTheGame_E thanks alot bro

[@genxtechguy]

Also, the a6700 doesn’t have quite as good 4K 120p as the FX30. The FX30 has a better compression format for 4K 120p due to being able to utilize the faster Cfexpress cards. Other than that video quality is the same.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I don't know about that but I imagine you are right. The full size HDMI of the FX30 also allows you to do external recordings in higher quality.

[@HorizonStudio444]

hey you should take a cage for it cause the monitor is so heavy for the camera

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

It’s actually super light compared to other monitors the same size.

[@Schn33man]

Wich lense is it ?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

That’s the Tamron 35-150mm. Same one I reviewed in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4GbZYF-mLd1ftksi=iJUnqNJzZCaWQx8X

The camera is hot everywhere. You would have to cool it with bigger fan 😊

[@paulneedham9885]

A firmware update has helped with the overheating issue.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yeah I heard. I’d like to understand how it works though because overheating is much more related to hardware than firmware. Unless they simply raised the shutdown temperature threshold.

[@CoachCocoy]

How much memory does a basketball game consume, recorded like this at 4k 120?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Depends how much you like to shoot but for me it's usually around 100Gb.

[@paulgero]

I think it's really more of a stills camera, though the video is quite good....for sports videographers, though, I would get the fx30 .... great review E and glad you got hooked up with the Sony rep in Montreal!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yeah I agree. Unless you take just as much photos as you film video, I would go with the FX30.

[@CeLeRitAs3]

Dummy battery, external source and a fan constantly on, got me over an hour of non stop shooting in 100/120fps. at a room temperature. 20mins without anything, 40mins with a fan only, and 60mins with all together. I've not had a warning coming on since using this combo, shooting the whole hockey and basketball pre game/game. As well as shooting motocross outdoor..😊 The key is to keep the fan on all the time from when the camera is switched on. My only concern now is the micro hdmi and a single sd slot.. but it is what it is 😊

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Sounds like a good setup!

[@tosyo8401]

Try zv-e1 next!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

That's a good idea!

[@tanner.quintero]

Was it the Sigma 70-200?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

No, I was using the Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8.

[@JeffCorcelius]

@@BeyondTheGame_E Do you have any issues with it not being par focal and shooting sports?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@JeffCorcelius it would be fun, don’t get me wrong, but almost all photography lenses are not parfocal. Only cinema lenses are and they are way more expensive. So that’s just something that you get used to. And since our subjects are constantly moving and changing, it doesn’t really make any difference anyway.

[@framemedia0312]

lens?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8

[@Ripside2]

Tutorial please!!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

If you mean a tutorial about the A6700 menu, unfortunately I don't have that camera anymore. It was a loan.

[@kosemadrid7477]

monitor model? :D

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Portkeys LH7P

[@FearGod101]

Imma stick with my panasonic lumix g85.

[@officialcisko]

They sell some heat sink plates that work wonders and only $10

[@courageoyibo6716]

Can you drop some recommendations??

[@coachchrisbozeman]

Hey, im new to the channel and sports videos. Im getting a Sony A6400 w/18-135mm lens. Ill be filming basketball and football games what lens and frames would you recommend?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

It highly depends on your budget. Your 18-135mm has a great zoom range for basketball but it's not the highest quality lens. For football I would recommend one those two lenses: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4azq4iofcisjtE

[@coachchrisbozeman]

@@BeyondTheGame_E Thanks. For basketball im looking to get a 70-200 would that be better for basketball?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@coachchrisbozeman It's better for football but it all depends on where you are filming from. It's fine filming from the stands but it will be way too tight if you try to film from the baseline for example.

[@coachchrisbozeman]

@@BeyondTheGame_E So baseline what lens should i use and if im in the stands i can use the 70-200?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@coachchrisbozeman Yes 70-200mm from the stand should be fine. On the baseline I would just use the 18-135mm you already have.

[@Mrcsitari1]

Its perfekt who make short 4k60 4k120 😍

[@dufoami]

s/o montreal good stuff

[@GregorMima]

Recording 4K120p nonstop and then wondering why it overheats... 😂 Some things just come with the territory.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Not wondering why. Just finding ways to navigate around it to maximize the potential of this camera.

[@kimes_1]

Why aren't you following 180 degree shutter rule?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Because it adds sharpness. Check out this video I made on the topic kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2eud5t_aZqoiK8si=wNmC38nHhqw8wpQ1

[@Yousuck882]

the whole team looks like buzz lightyear😂

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

😂

[@nathanminten]

For the price, there are no other 4k 120 Cameras that can come even close.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

You're probably right.

[@naizondj]

I don't agree with you! I create commercial videos for restaurants,gym,festivals and other businesses with the a6700 camera, and you don't need an hour straight to film or shoot a commercial. So yes, it is definitely a professional camera. So far i made 20k. But for a football match mmmm maybe is not the right camera🤷‍♂️ lol

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Sounds to me like we’re saying the same thing. I was being quite specific about sports when talking performance.

[@naizondj]

True! But it is a pro camera come on cannot be like an a5100! Ahhaha

[@joshtrail]

Do you ever worry using for commercial purposes with only one sd slot, or is it all good?

[@SamiIssa]

So can you confirm if there is no overheating if shooting 10bit 4k for about 5 minutes max and then stopping let's say for 10-15mins and shoot again? because mainly I will use it for commercials and music videos where footage never exceeds 5mins. I would go for the FX30 but due to the shutter I prefer the 6700.

[@naizondj]

@@SamiIssa if you use it for video then buy fx brother! but if you do photos ect.. well 6700! because it's an hybrid camera! so can do both very fuc;;;ing well!!! fx more pro for videos! if you really have money you should go for fx30 and then a basic camera for photos! like sony full frame !

[@Coppersulfate9009]

is it good enough? Yes and no it'll work great if you're on a budget but if you actually have the money you should definitly get something thats better

[@MikeAnthonyPhotography]

get the new fan for the camera by the same company they make a new one that stays on the camera better and dont fall off like that one

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yeah I saw that, I talked about it towards the end of the video. But my cameras have internal fans so I don't have a need for an external one.

[@nando_filmz]

Put it on high temp mode and boom problem solved

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Of course it was on high temp. I wish it was that simple!

[@soholingo]

a6700 is not a 4k60 camera. It is a dad camera and you can run it all day at 4k24/30 without a fan. Long form 4k60/120 is pro level recording needs.

[@mambiproductions8960]

Overheating and crop yikes!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Definitely not ideal but still manageable.

[@dastreak2152]

Who films a game in 120 fps... really ?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Why wouldn’t you?

[@swegukiin]

Do not buy this camera for any type of video lol

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Why do you say that?

[@sevenstudio4250]

shutter 400???? wtf did u know about setting for video?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I don't claim to know it all but I've been a professional videographer with high-end clients for over 20 years and things have been going pretty good so far.

[@sevenstudio4250]

@@BeyondTheGame_E why shutter speed so high? 1/400 a lot for slow motion I think

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@sevenstudio4250 gets rid of some motion blur which makes the footage appear sharper. It’s something I like to do for sports because there’s so much fast movement and therefore so much motion blur. But I understand it’s not for everyone.
