Must have Items for the Sony FX9

[@jaredmanders9128]

Nice recommendations, especially the shape extension handle. I do have to chuckle however at how you like heavier rigs. When I was 30 I felt the same. Now that I’m older, I’m doing everything I could possibly do to reduce weight!

[@sa.t.2507]

You really don't need an external monitor at all, the LCD works great.

[@dvshop3434]

Great video Brian!

[@IMDABROWN]

In about a year I’ll invest in an FX9 and this looks like what I’ll emulate.

[@joelarvidsson]

I got one of those vtc plates but I wish the shoulder pad was a little wider and twisted to compensate for how a shoulder looks.

[@robchado]

How do you like that lens? I get asked for them every now and then for rentals, so I've been loosely considering getting one.

[@bashmedia]

thanks for your video , please let me ask you , what bag you use for this setup , and if you can make a video for this .

[@WalterTheBalter]

good job Brian Hunt. I will def Upgrade to SHAPE Handle, This was super informative for me. I love the WEIGHT too. M FX9 rig is 18lbs already and Im adding V mount plate and NEO's 2m. I prefer the weight actually. I'm surprised you running this rig on batteries.

[@BrianHunt]

Thanks Walter, I do have the extension unit that I will be using to power with Vmount .

[@cameraworks2623]

with V2 in October the display is touchscreen! (hardware was already, but no firmware for it) thanks for this review!

[@ipg_rentals]

Good video nice accessories

[@danieldougan269]

Did Sony ever resolve the weight balance issue for shoulder mounting the camera? I understand the FS7 was too front-heavy.

[@BrianHunt]

Hi Daniel, its the same as the FS7, but if you have a Vmount on the back or the extension unit it balances much better.

[@clarkeleland7888]

How are you powering everything? Are you d-tap'ing into something besides a BP style battery?

[@bwayomoses]

Hi Brian, love watching your videos, learning a lot from you. Could you please share links to the items? thanks.

[@igorproductions6713]

Nice setup. But where’s te v-mount? Or do u only use that when shooting raw?

[@corymayo]

Sony view finder is touch screen now*

[@stpaulikicker]

Brian - great video. Thank you. The SmallRig shoulder pad you are using - is it this one? SmallRig Sony VCT-14 Shoulder Plate 1954. Thanks, Oliver

[@BrianHunt]

Yes, it is!

[@stpaulikicker]

Brian Hunt thank you, Brian! Appreciate this. You also convinced me about the Sigma 14-24 and 24-70 Art lenses over the Sony Master glasses 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ROBERTPOKONSKI]

what Vmount on the back or the extension r you thinking about

[@tomgeorgegale]

Hey Brian, what camera bag setup do you use? I'm curious on your opinion. Thanks.

[@madacenyc]

Brian hunt, do you have any test footage we can download to test if it works smoothly on my computer?

[@BrianHunt]

I am going to link to some footage to download on my next video testing different lenses and auto focus abilities

[@madacenyc]

Brian Hunt sounds good, thank you!

[@Psychefrequency]

@@BrianHunt some frame rate test would be highly appreciate it as well thanks!

[@ricardoleser1119]

Hi Brian, what is your advice about using the small hd focus 7 with sony a7riv / a7iiis in 30/60/120fps ? Thank you, regards, Ricardo Leser (from Brazil)

[@rollingchilling]

thank you for sharing!

[@Yesandyessy]

Hello, Thanks for the video. May I ask which mic is that on the video?

[@MylonasFilms]

Hey man I noticed a major issue with downloading your scene files, I have to change all 10 of my assignable buttons to every single scene file what a nightmare.

[@jamesreed7278]

I took the top handle off but there's a plastic clip that's attached to the top of the camera that's preventing me from putting on the top plate. How did you safely remove this clip?

[@BrianHunt]

Hi James, sorry for the slow reply, did you figure it out? Was it the clip that is for the cable guide for the EVF?

[@mcflytrifels1696]

Thank you 🙏

[@filmformat]

Witch Battery do you use?

[@BrianHunt]

I have use the www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1387212-REG/core_swx_nano_u98_98wh_14_8v_6600mah_hdv_battery_4led_gauge_powertap_usb.html

[@vasseurnicolas]

Hey Brian! Such a great video, could you give us the reference for the Small Rig shoulder pad?

[@BrianHunt]

www.smallrig.com/smallrig-vct-14-shoulder-plate-1954.html

[@alexanderdowney1964]

Awesome rig, thanks for sharing. I would say Sony E mount glass (or any compatible lens) for sick autofocus and it allows you to stabilize in Catalyst Prepare, it's amazing. And a big ass AB 240 gold mount battery...

[@guidenews2458]

Nice sir

[@ProjectOverseer]

Hi Brian I've got to wait till the end of June to get my Fx9 (can't wait) ... Over the last 3 year's, I've bought tons of extras for my FS7's (one is a mk2) ... I'm keeping them, but it would be great to know that many of my SmallRig accessories like top plates and handle with rod extension for heavy monitor/transmitter will cross over ... Or will I have added expense? Great channel btw - subscribed 👍

[@BrianHunt]

Hi Chris, thanks for the kind words. All of my accessories, top plates etc from FS7 fit on the FX9 the only think I could not get to fit was the Shape extension handle its a bit different on the FX9

[@ProjectOverseer]

@@BrianHunt Thank you so much, Brian ... at least some things cross over - especially the top plate 👍

[@petrub27]

i never understood why some are making those fast jerky movements when they operate an electronic device, like quickly changing settings, throwing and banging the equipment. too much coffee? anxiety? wtf

[@joshdiditt]

Let me come work with you

[@heyty]

Do you find the battery life to be significantly lower on the FX9 vs. FS7? The v-mount adds so much weight I don't typically like using it but I'm hearing it's more necessary with this camera.

[@BrianHunt]

Ty Frey it pulls about 30% more power then the FS7 so a fair bit more I have 8 larger batteries so have the extra battery usage covered. V mount would be ideal if not concerned with weight
