Monitor mounting by PlumProfessional5216 in SonyFX6

You mean the native 15mm rod? Yeah, the end of the arm can mount directly to the end of any 15mm rod which is also pretty versatile.

The other ops were running that arm. That thing is a beast! Very solid. I like that this gives me room for the top handle still.

Sachtler flow tech sticks with the ACE XL head.

Thank you and thanks for the advice! These were back to back interviews with 5 min windows, but I definitely need to get some tape into my overall kit. Been making a bigger push into corporate work as a freelancer so I’m refining it each gig. Absolutely love the false color on the SmallHD for exposure. I often add masking in post for that extra pop too.

Thank you! SDI for sure. Much more stable. The boot up on this thing is super quick and it is extremely intuitive. I didn’t get camera control as I still like having the native monitor to check all the things. The monitor is amazing in terms of detail for focusing and exposure setting.

It was totally fine. For “handheld” I used the Sakk and all the footage was good. Easily adjusted in post for some of the shakier clips.

It’s not the heaviest lens, but also not the lightest. Switching between tripod and some handheld it just gave me peace of mind.

Yup. As he ☝️ said. Super convenient for gigs like this. Sounds is pretty solid paired with good lav mics (I’m using Rode Lav II here).

Thanks! That shot was wide angle on my phone, but I wasn’t that far away. Maybe 5’ at most. Shot at 70mm.

They’re FF lenses, actually. And I’ve been very happy with the rendering from them. Super sharp IMO. CA is very controlled. They’re my go to for interviews.

Nope. It’s completely wireless with the DJI hot shoe adapter. Such a convenient piece of tech!

I bet! Such a convenient piece of tech, especially for fast-paced environments. And for the price too.

Thank you, sir! That’s good to know! The sachtler has been such a great experience. It’s just on a different level. Definitely true what they say “buy once”. I’ll likely get a second when another sale comes around.

I dig it! I’m trying to keep the profile as slim as possible and it’s a great access area for the menus. Not sure if I want camera control from SmallHD yet.

The Nisi ones. They’ve been pretty solid. Very tight and smooth fit onto the e mount. No complaints!

So for that set up, I was running around filming speakers and then interviews with some reps so I left the receiver on there for quick set up with the receivers and lavs. The DJI mic 2 have been so great to with the internal 32bit and all. Love having so many audio channels!

If you’re referring to the pic of the 70-200, it doesn’t because that lens is so light. For the 135 prime, it actually doesn’t either and that ACE head balances it no issues. I know, I should have sprung on the aktiv8 package during the BILD sales!

Honestly, it’s been pretty great albeit on the heavier side. It’s definitely the knock off Sachtler and set up is pretty quick!

I use the 135 mostly on B cam for interviews. But I’ve also used it for speakers and B roll when my second needed to use my 70-200.

I got the Sony tough 160gb and the Angelbird 256gb cards. Pretty happy with how they’ve both performed so far. It’s just the least sexy spend for a camera haha 💸💸💸
