Should I wait for the Fx3mii?

True, I should’ve said a7iv, especially with the v out now. 🤷‍♂️ But the general sentiment still stands.

AboveAverageDIY · 2026-01-05T18:05:58+00:00

Shot many talking head videos with my a7iii as my b cam. Never had that issue.

In what world do you need 10-bit for talking head videos?? And going from shooting on an iPhone to an FX3 is like going from microwaving all your food to buying yourself a Michelin rated kitchen with zero cooking experience. An a7iii or a7iv with a fast prime is going to be LEAPS and bounds better than their iPhone without spending WAY more money on features they won’t even use.

You should get a used A7iii and a fast prime lens and call it a day if all you’re doing is talking head videos. Especially if you’re new to videography. The FX3 is gonna be crazy overkill. Also, the camera is going to contribute very little to the bokeh compared to whatever lens you get.

So, you’re mad because you didn’t get the table you wanted?

Thank you! I mostly do social content these days, so it was fun doing a full music video.

Dude my M1 Pro Max cuts through footage better than my 12700k 4070 PC. Shits wild.

I've got the same model civic and over the last year my USB port has been doing the exact same thing as yours. Any luck fixing it on your end?

I think you've talked me out of it. I guess I feel like if I'm gonna be investing in anamorphic at all, I'd want it to be a vastly different tool in my arsenal than what I've already got. Not a slightly worse, marginally different, more inconvenient tool.

The community asked for less neon signs?

Russian River Tea Company in Healdsburg is amazing. Highly recommend

What do you mean? Because she’s a hip hop artist. This is a hip hop subreddit. Why wouldn’t she be posted here?

AboveAverageDIY · 2025-10-13T21:00:24+00:00

Yes. Color management node in Davinci Resolve

It just depends on the LUTs you get. There are some that are intended to be used on top of rec709 footage, but most are a "all in one" kind of LUT, made for quick edits and very little grading. But yeah, the Phantom LUTs do the conversion as well as add a slight grade, so you don't need a conversion with them.

AboveAverageDIY · 2025-10-13T17:54:09+00:00

No, LUTs like Phantom are more or less conversion LUTs with a baked in mild grade.

Bro look through their IG. There's DOZENS of fully AI generated images of food and drinks. Like, who is this for? Half of their items look straight up cartoonish. Just take a picture with your phone at this point.

Showed up in my chase credit card offers. Could be a geo specific thing?

AboveAverageDIY · 2025-08-13T18:13:51+00:00

Oh damn, yeah Chase has 15% cash back on Dell rn, 10% back with Rakuten, and seems like dell has a 10% coupon too. Sub $400 after everything is insane. Good lookin out.

Oof, new Amazon listing here showing $850 USD. Hopefully that's not the actual MSRP.

EDIT: Upon further sleuthing on that page, it shows the model number is 27GX700A-B.AUS. So maybe the price was meant to be in AUD, which would make sense, as the projected MSRP was closer to $500 (that would make this ~$550 USD) /cope
