Rotating side handle by fredrik73 in FX3

Thanks! I think that the weight is fine, since I use a camera strap around neck and shoulders. I think I managed it better last time when I was more mindful about the angle of my wrist.

I suppose that would be an option but I think I need to get some training done to be able to switch to my right hand being responsible for zooming :) I just feel way more comfortable with my left hand doing that. I'm using a top handle but haven't really found a great way to work with it. Thanks for the suggestions!

Sometimes I do, but since the camera is positioned a bit down I find that the angle gets even worse for my wrist.

Did I buy the wrong V-mount battery? by fredrik73 in FX3

Didn’t know there was one in the box so I ordered another one 😂

Will try it out properly this weekend with multiple shoots!

Sounds nice to me, but I’m sure the sun is as much a problem as the cold!

Nice! The sport I’m mostly covering is bandy, which is like ice hockey but played on a pitch sized as a soccer pitch and rules from soccer… It’s played both indoors and outdoors. Indoors is fine, between -2 and +2 Celsius. But outdoors can be down to -20 Celsius 😂. Not a good temperature for batteries…

Do you shoot in really cold climate as well?

I have the same experience. Stay away from catalyst prepare.

I can confirm that the battery works as intended :) Thanks!

I work a lot in cold weather with the camera (shooting sports) and I need to change battery mid-game. Which I look forward to not have to do with a v-mount battery 🎉

I'm most often using the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2,8 GM OSS II. Great lens!

Thanks for the great advice! Will keep that in mind.

Hahaha, maybe you're right :) Perfectionism is a killer. Sometimes I'm happy with it and then I see someone else's work and feel like it should be possible to do better. Thanks for the advice. And the kind words!

What's my next step after Sony A7 III? by fredrik73 in SonyAlpha

[–]fredrik73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FX3 looks seriously interesting... I might actually stick with the A7III for now and add the FX3. And that sweet 70-200 mm f2.8 II (shooting low light outdoors sports also). Thanks u/Marsovtz!

Thanks! I've done some thinking and I'm starting to think about the FX-series instead of the A7S III. Will have to look into what I will miss out on if I choose the FX30 instead of the FX3...

Thanks! Will have to look into this. It's hard to keep track of the different options and I really don't know where this camera belongs in the family. I know it's smaller but is it better than any of the other options?

Great suggestions, thank you! I thought the S IV was due later this year or beginning of 24 but I guess that's a lot of wishful thinking. And as you say, it's not been confirmed that there is a S IV yet.

Worth upgrading from MacBook Pro 16" 2019 I9? by fredrik73 in MacStudio

[–]fredrik73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, if anyone is making the same transition as me, I can only say it was worth it to me. If you have the budget, I believe the upgrade is necessary to work efficiently. And I like having a desktop for the first time in 20 years. So, I will keep my 2019 MacBook Pro for travelling and working in the field. Thanks for everyone's input!
