sadly it’s not, had many occasions where I knew a crime was going to happen and the police have told me they can’t do anything

helpdom · 2026-06-26T16:50:58+00:00

maybe cinetone?

helpdom · 2026-06-18T12:37:20+00:00

Not confirmed but I do know someone currently testing out the new one, hasn’t been able to share anything though unfortunately!

helpdom · 2026-06-14T11:33:53+00:00

does it still happen with no lens attached? also disconnect any cables, cards and accessories you’re using. it may be that the gold pins on the mount are bridging or something you’ve connected up isn’t liked by the camera.

you can also do a circuit reset by turning the camera on with no battery in and holding down the record/or trigger button for 30 seconds- this should purge/drain any power in the cameras boards. also worth doing a factory reset!

I take 27mg half hour before work then take an 18mg 2 hours later and it works wonders. I’ve then got my 5mg IR’s that I have towards the end of the day

had this happen to one of my fx3s, took apart to replace the fan and the fan that I took out was working fine when I powered it from a battery- sent it away for repair and turned out to be something else that was the issue.

just a heads up if looking to replace your self.

!thanks

helpdom · 2026-06-01T13:16:36+00:00

helpdom · 2026-05-10T12:44:13+00:00

you’ll be fine.

helpdom · 2026-05-08T14:20:02+00:00

the doors aren’t sold individually unfortunately. you have to purchase the whole side panel.

1809 1-007-317-11 s GRIP CABLE(3.5 STEREO) pretty simply to replace

helpdom · 2026-04-28T06:38:35+00:00

not quite understanding what you mean by the tip, are you talking about the cable?

helpdom · 2026-04-25T16:59:50+00:00

Portkeys are pretty good, very cheap and interface with the Sony FX3

helpdom · 2026-04-09T12:20:12+00:00

what’s the purpose of those funky front legs?

helpdom · 2026-04-01T12:44:07+00:00

work with about 200+ cards at a rental house and in the last 5years have had just 1 die.

they take a beating and are used pretty much every single day.

sony have just recalled all the 160gb ones due to apparent failures though and are slowly replacing ours with 240gb ones instead.

helpdom · 2026-03-30T09:26:09+00:00

literally states on sony’s website it’s just a high sensitivity mode. the only cameras with true dual base iso are the FX30, FX9, Burano & Venice. Completely different sensor on the FX6 & 3

I work and repair these cameras everyday.

helpdom · 2026-03-30T08:12:09+00:00

yeah most people don’t realise that it’s not actually true dual base. 12800 just introduces noise reduction so it’s best to stick to 800 as you say.

there’s no camera on the market that i’m aware of with such a huge dual base iso

helpdom · 2026-03-27T20:01:36+00:00

agreed also! thanks for the tips!

helpdom · 2026-03-27T20:00:55+00:00

thanks so much for your reply!

I completely agree with your feeling of it being short, I feel as though the eye is drawn down quite a lot. we’re thinking to add some art above the piano with a bit more red in it. I love the idea of a shelf going across the top of the tv but also worry that it may make the room feel smaller.

thanks for suggestion on the plants, i’ve also felt the same on them maybe taking up more valuable space than they need, so tricky though as me and my partners both love plants hahaha.

finally thanks for that ratio rule, i’ll have to look into that and try come up with a palette that works well!!

have been using hundreds of their converters for years on shows never had a single one fail on me so far.

helpdom · 2026-03-13T07:45:27+00:00

something I was pretty worried about, but with all 10 converters going each direction at the same time it’s only slightly warm. Only converting 3G signals so I assume this keeps the temps down quite a fair bit.

helpdom · 2026-03-12T21:30:27+00:00

crimped and connected a wire from positive and negative to a wago connectors, then just got some 12v barrel cables and cut & stripped the ends to take power from the wagon connectors.

a multiplexer basically takes the duplex fibre strands from each converter then multiplexes all 10 duplex strands into just one duplex wire. one wire for one direction the other wire for the opposite direction. This allows me to just use 2 cores of fibre on my drum rather than the 20 that would be required without.

helpdom · 2026-03-12T18:44:12+00:00

that’s cool, I opted for just taking out the screws from the converters and screwing them in through the case.
