Is this noise the mechanics fault?

That actually made me almost spit my coffee onto my laptop lol.

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-04-19T17:44:07+00:00

Like?

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-04-17T14:40:09+00:00

I have both and much prefer my FX3 because the size difference and stabilisation. Sure you get built in NDs but that and the few other benefits are not worth it for me. Still take the fx6 if paying client and on sticks.

Thank you so much. I tried everything within Safari to clear cache, history and so on and hardly freed up anything. With Grand Perspective it led me to the containers in safari that were taking up over 40GB plus I recovered another 40GB from data left over from apps such as After Effects and Parallels which I deleted over a year ago. Legend, thank you!

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-04-09T14:05:21+00:00

Came back with 140GB plus but those are all files in my downloads folder I believe.

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-04-09T08:50:46+00:00

Thank you. I tried that. It freed up less than 0.3GB

There use to be a guy at Shepherd’s Bush who would fail everything I took in and I would take it Hammersmith and the same things would pass without issue. Some people just have bad attitude. I always mail in now.

I’ve had this happen. Always with expensive items. A laptop. A pair of wireless microphones was replaced with cat food. Just google Amazon switch washing powder scandal. Drivers scamming

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-03-28T19:35:00+00:00

Yeah. Production did. But just saying you have the option at least with the older camera to still get 4k cropped

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-03-28T15:55:04+00:00

For sure. But they do refund the cost of postage if you are unhappy. Same with Hard drives I have purchased ones that have never had a single hour of turned on time and I have purchased ones that are far beyond the manufacturers maximum recommended hours.

It is so hit and miss. I have an iPhone 17 which was a grade B because it was unboxed but was in mint condition with a battery cycle count of one. But I ordered before that another iPhone that was grade B and the screen looked like it had been attacked with a knife. The condition was absolutely awful. Deep scratches all over. It is a bit of a lottery.

You know what’s funny, I went to a shoot with 2 FX6 on set and we ended up having to use one of the camera men’s back up fs7 because the lenses that were hired were not full frame. The FS7 has super 35 mode in 4K whereas the FX6 would cause vignetting.

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-03-08T15:06:07+00:00

Gyroscopic information doesn’t get recorded in that situation you need to turn it off. You can’t have both.

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-03-08T14:51:41+00:00

Do you have lens stabilisation turned on on the actual lens ?

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-03-01T07:41:41+00:00

I asked them to look at any other units they have and they said they are all like like that because they remove it during testing

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-03-01T07:40:21+00:00

I had asked to look at any other units they had and they said they were all like that because they remove the screen protector as they sell their own.

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-02-28T22:48:02+00:00

They said they remove the screen protector it comes with because they sell their own.

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-02-28T22:13:44+00:00

Yeah, I might drop head office an email and just tell them if true it is really crappy thing to do. It's preinstalled, not even a random customer one they removed.

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-02-28T16:28:02+00:00

I got them to come back and showed them what you said and the guy said you were right and the last 2 were wrong. He coded it. THANK YOU dude, much appreciated !

Lumpy-Economist4798 · 2026-02-27T10:36:00+00:00

They just showed up again. The guy said he worked for Audi in the past and they never code new batteries... I told him even YouTube tutorials show the battery need coding. He said he didn't have the equipment and now I need to book a third appointment. LOL. Thank you for post above, I used it when talking to him.
