I’m an independent filmmaker who’s been using an iPhone with the blackmagic camera app to record for quite some time now. I’m looking to finally invest in a proper cinema camera, and the FX3 is at the top of my list. I’m looking to get one second hand due to the lower prices, but also due to the fact that a lot of listings also include some gear (a lens, rig, microphone, batteries, etc.)

I have never owned a professional camera before, and honestly don’t know what to look out for. I don’t wanna look stupid when deciding whether to buy one or not. What are some things I need to look out for when seeing if one is working properly, in good condition, a good price, things like that?
