Hi guys, the other day I had a shoot with two FX6s for a explenatory mocumentary series for a grocery chain in my country. Must say... FX6 exceeded every expectation I had. Everything worked flawlessly... minor issues with AF but nothing dealbraker-ish. The added TC was awesome and the soundguys...

Hi guys, is here anybody who has 600D with the DoP Octa 5 bowens mount? Trying to find any information about it online, but it is really a pain. Found some videos about how it is setup, but not a single "review" ala Gaffer & Gear. Is it a pain to setup? Is it a bigger hassle when working with...

Today I was presenting my FX6 setup to Slovak national TV station, they were fascinated by the camera... they are used to FX9, but the High Base ISO blew out their minds. They considering it mainly as a docu/handheld camera for reality show with the 28 - 135mm lens. Anyhow, how are the...

A friend of mine has a knockoff version, which has double the weight range as a MiniMax for half of the price... but the first shoot he had, it started leaking from the “counter weight” mechanism. I’m considering buying the Easyrig MiniMax for the FX6 my setups rarely are above 7 kgs. The price...

Interesting new lights. The price a bit steep thou... https://www.newsshooter.com/2021/04/16/maxima-3-maxima-7-single-point-led-fixtures/

Hey Ben, it was the MiniMax. DoP was okey with it (although the local rental shop doesn't have the female vest). FX6 was about 6 kg so still under the max limit which is 7.7kg I believe.

First real gig with the FX6 after weeks of lock down in my country. Really digging the eND in the FX6, I think I could not go back to an ordinary camera without it... On the cons list... the standard LCD holder is really rubbish. Can't wait for the Zacuto to arrive. It's been over a month and a...

I totally agree... the ISO 12,800 is insane. There is some noise, but it is subtle. It was lit only buy my girlfriends macbook and some ambient light from the street.

The moment I just touched the plastic arm holding the LCD on the FX6 I realised that it will break in 6 - 9 months... it feels so fragile and wobbly. Imagining putting a loupe on that arm with a longer rod feels really pushing the limit of the attaching mechanism... can't wait for my Zacuto for...

Also what's the brand of the cable holder? I've had it somewhere bookmarked but lost the link.

Just in love with your setup. I'm still waiting for my WC plate / PL mount combo and Z-Finder. Just out of curiosity, if you go hand-held are you keeping the FX6 handgrip with an extension cable?

Hi there guys, has anyone tried the old-school Atomos converter H2S with the Ninja V? Is there any physical limitation that prevents the converter to be properly mounted on the NPF plate? I was thinking about a neat solution of them connecting together. With the old Ninjas there isn't a problem...

Dimensions are on their webpage.

I'm still wondering why there isn't a 12 bit XAVC 4:4:4. The codec can handle it.

Hi guys, does anybody know what is the base ISO of the Z6 in the N-log profile while externally recording?
