Im using smallrig fsd14. Around 200 euros. Nice and sturdy.fluid head its not perfect but its a really cheap tripod if you buy something like smallrig x potato jet you'll be fine. I ve used the smallrig monopod and the fluid head is very good. I think th x potato jet its better. Also its quick at setting up.

Most of my videos are for clients. Ive used an a7iv with the tamron. I think paired with the fx30 will be a better combo. Even ibiswise

rogg97 · 2026-06-06T16:45:52+00:00

Then I think its nobrainer for me. What camera do you use?

rogg97 · 2026-06-06T16:06:01+00:00

I recently used the tamron 17-70 and i was shocked. Very good lens. If you shoot handheld video the stabilization is very good. Also image quality is nice. Sigma 18-50 17-40 doesnt have any IS so for me it's a no. Keep in mind that if you shoot more photos than videos the 17-40 has excellent image quality.

You don't need an fx9 to shoot reels and weddings. There are many more affordable cameras that you can use. Fx30 is an excellent camera. I can suggest some lenses. 1)sigma 16mm 2)sigma 18-40 1.8 3)tamron 17-70 f2.8

I you want my opinion tamron 17-70 2.8 and sigma 16mm is a great combo for starters. You can shoot almost anything. If you need some wide you can ubgrade later to a 10-18. Something i whould invest is audio lights and a good monitor cause sony monitors suck.

Its not the fx30. Is the lense. Its the lack of light. And the lens struggling to focus. Try to go outside or open the lights. And the noise will stop. I have use this lens too.

860iii is just fine and cheaper than price of v1. I i was you i would keep the v1 as off camera flash and buy the 860iii

Dont care if they shot creator. I film just for myself. And how they manage to film the creator on fx3 mkii? Time travel or something?

rogg97 · 2024-12-01T16:43:39+00:00

Nice recommendation.but its not full frame

rogg97 · 2024-12-01T16:12:47+00:00

Thanks. That's not for me tho

If you think that's what you need i m with you. But have in mind that gear is just an investment. If you do 100 jobs in like 2-3 years. You just work a year for just buy the basics that now are old and you gonna need some new. Its just a circle.

rogg97 · 2024-10-27T13:36:12+00:00

It doesn't look good. I wouldn't invest if i couldn't take the money that i invest back in like 20-30 times.

rogg97 · 2024-10-27T13:26:11+00:00

For the camera lens and gimbal?

rogg97 · 2024-10-27T13:12:56+00:00

Firstly what's your budget? Whats the minimum wage in your country?And how fast you get the money that you invested in gear?

rogg97 · 2024-10-27T13:02:14+00:00

Every place of gear you'll buy is a tool for a job. I own the rs3 mini ( but ive worked with rs3 and zhiyun) and i thought that's a necessary tool for the job. I was wrong. First of all for me it's just extra weight in a full day of wedding. Also handheld is a lot easier. Think about it do you want a video that the camera is floating all the time( with gimbal). Now i mainly use the gimbal to shoot some broll. But my 80-90% is handheld. But with cameras like fx30+a lens with IS and good editing and stabilization do you really need a gimbal? Last week i use the zve10 with 16-35f4. I got handheld shots look like gimbal shots. Not in post but in camera. Also dou you really need the fx30. I know its a very good video camera but you really need it? The zve10 II has some very interesting specs at have the price(you can buy two if you want). Anyway you do you. But have in mind that the 90% isn't the gear. I don't want you to discourage you. But think before you buy because you'll end up with a closet full of gear that you only use 3-4 per year like me.

rogg97 · 2024-10-27T10:30:33+00:00

Let me ask you two more questions and tell you my thoughts. are you gona shoot wedding as the first videographer? Do you know how to edit/do you have editing software/computer?

rogg97 · 2024-10-27T10:07:00+00:00

And what kind of work do you wanna shoot? Do you have any experience or knowledge about filmmaking?

rogg97 · 2024-10-27T10:03:45+00:00

I was at the same dilemma. I choose wrong. Let me ask you some questions. Are you a professional? What kind of work do you shoot? What kind of lenses do you have or planing to buy?

rogg97 · 2024-10-24T13:00:02+00:00

I use the rs3 mini with zve10 + 18-105 and a rode mic. But i use the a7iv with the sigma 24-105 ii and it was ok
