Set up Your Sony FX3/FX30 The 'RIGHT' Way

[@KofiYeboah]

In the event you have the full frame FX3, the 20mm G Lens is a perfect full frame substitution ☺️

I know that you're now rocking a FX3, but today I upgraded my A6500 to a FX30 and a Big part of the reason was because of you and your channel and video. Thank you.

[@KofiYeboah]

Glad I ccan help !

[@BuckDuncanOutdoors]

Bro the FX30 with the cage and top handle came in clutch on a professional shoot last night. Again I appreciate you putting out some good content!

[@KofiYeboah]

That’s unreal! Are you posting it to your channel ?

[@BuckDuncanOutdoors]

Unfortunately its a political Candidate and I can't@@KofiYeboah But I did post a hunting video that isn't that great. Just trying to learn color grading and get used to filming myself

[@gabrielmendez7756]

Waiting for my FX30 to get here in a couple of days and your channel has prepared me for everything! Very excited to use it. Thank you so much

[@KofiYeboah]

Hope you enjoy it! Have fun with it!

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Kofi! Thanks for making it. I'm a film student here in Las Vegas, and I maintain that the FX30 is the best student video camera currently on the market. Not only is the feature-for-dollar value extremely high, one mustn't forget that the ability to marry up with footage from the higher model cinema cameras is a killer value proposition. Oh, and you can use the same lenses on a Burano that you use on the FX30, allowing you to start building your professional kit while still using an "entry-level" cinema camera. Dope.

[@KofiYeboah]

You’re quite right! I live mine

[@Aljalil]

I’m saving for the fx30.

[@KofiYeboah]

You’ll love it !

[@AllThingsFilm1]

You'll love it. As a filmmaker, I've been looking at getting a b-cam to go with my FX30. Last Saturday I went to a Sony event at a local camera store. At these events you can borrow a camera and shoot with it on site. I brought an SD Card with me, and borrowed the a6700. When I looked at the footage, I was impressed. Not surprising because it has the same dual base ISO sensor as the FX30. So, I'm looking at the a6700 as a possible b-cam. It will match my FX30 perfectly.

[@Aljalil]

@@KofiYeboah i watch your videos to stay informed. Although to me it’s a lot of money. For my budget and use case (podcasts, films, interviews, sports) it’s perfect with the mostly unlimited record times and the quality. Thanks for always breaking things down for us and some of your videos you show affordable options. You and Marques Brownlee are the dopest KZbinrs especially in the tech and video spaces. Thank you

[@Tater2018]

Another great option is the Fujifilm XS-20. I picked up mine about 2 weeks ago, and I'm about to test it out alongside my a7siii.

[@sidesquests]

You’ll love it and learn a lot about the cinema line features from it. I use as an A - Cam and work with many other clients and deliver same file types that the nicer cameras produce. Nobody questions what camera it came from. Just “wow this footage is great!”

[@poloreacts27]

Great content man your videos man helping me understand my camera better each day.

[@KofiYeboah]

Happy to help!

[@edventures9884]

I just picked up a Sony Fx30. Waiting on my sD card to arrive but I will pair it with my Sony 11mm 1.8 and sigma 30mm. So pumped to use it! Love the vids

[@KofiYeboah]

That’s dope! I hope you enjoy it !

[@CallMeLani]

Just got the FX3 for my channel. This is very helpful. Still trying to figure out the settings which will suite my room and lighting best

[@KofiYeboah]

[@techchomper]

I didn't see a link about your desk setup and lighting when you pointed up but I would like to see it when you get a chance. Thanks for all your hard work.

Appreciate this! Exactly what I was looking for.

[@KofiYeboah]

Oh good I’m glad it helped !!

[@tobiasfalk9112]

Great video as always and many thanks for extensive work on covering the FX30. It's actually amazing for narrative stuff as well, IMHO it delivers more 'cinematic' images than the competition. It has replaced my Ursa Mini Pro 4.6.

[@KofiYeboah]

That’s a big shift from the Ursa ! Dang

[@tobiasfalk9112]

@@KofiYeboah Sounds crazy, right? But I can get so many shots per day with the FX30 that it more than compensates for everything the Ursa excels at. Sony just works, every day.

[@directordizbah1664]

This sounds sounds like an illusion, is the camera that good?

[@tobiasfalk9112]

@@directordizbah1664 Sony images might need more work in post, but the 10-bit codec is very, very versatile. I find it a much more flexible tool than the Ursa.

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

I really like my FX30v with the 18-105mm f4 for live events (and decent lighting conditions)-This camera gives me what I need for my projects-I don't do movies! Now, I have a Cobra 2 monopod and I wonder if the new pedestal base would be better than the original base...also are the feet easier to set up at the right angle? Just wondering if I should upgrade at least the base. Thanks

[@KofiYeboah]

I actually haven’t noticed a big difference for that !

Hi buddy, I ordered a FX30 today and Rode Podmic USB for the video recording. Which lens do you recommend for streaming and video creation? I'm doing immigration law-related content, just half-body in my office.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Awesome content as usual. You may already have a video on this, but how would you setup/use the FX30 in a run and gun situation?

[@KofiYeboah]

In the “3 rigs that make money” like identical for the first one , only change is if I feel like the audio top handle or not :)

I'm buy fx30 this month !! Excited just confused with the lens which i should get, will Sigma 18-50 f2.8 be a good option ? Could you suggest some other alternatives

[@KofiYeboah]

I can only suggest what I’ve used , which I’ve posted here already 👍🏾

[@FishVisions]

I just got the Sirui 24mm Night walker for my fx30 and its insane! I have to use a VND on it without a mattebox unfortunately cause it wont fit with my filter and i wanna be at like a t2-t3 on it, but tis amazing! I mainly got it as a low light lens, and to get down my manual focus more. The 2.8 lenses on the fx30 dont cut it for low light in slog. But i can get a sigma 16mm 1.4, which you can get for literally $350 brand new, and is a lens i think people forget about for fx30 vlogging and lowlight.

[@KofiYeboah]

The nightwalker value to price has been so nice 🙏🏾
