When I still could fly prior to 2020 I brought my Video Transport 18 as carry on. Been working great for years. Sometimes I put my FS7 in a Lowepro Computrekker Plus.
I had two days shooting this week in S-Cinetone and it looks fantastic. So far the 28-135 have been working great. Before I got the FX6 this lens felt boring but now after a number of days shooting I'm spoiled by the ease of use and integration with the camera. The footage does have a look of...
It is a bit of a hassle to go through Catalyst and stabilize every clip you need to correct but it works. That being said I would like to see a plug like the Insta360 have for their cameras that stabilize right inside Premiere. They both rely on the same basics with gyro data so it can be done.
That could be it because on some clips I used the Zeiss Batis 85 with IS. I checked and sure enough the clips that can't be stabilized were the 85mm ones. Thanks Doug!
Another thing I noticed while handling the clips. On some clips I couldn't do stabilizing in Catalyst because an error message telling me something like "not enough data to do stabilizing". As I recollect these clips were at the time when the camera started to act up.
I will try to not think to...
During todays shoot I did some testing swapping lenses, even while recording, changing settings in the menu and in general doing things a little bit more stupid than normal. Everything worked fine this time.
I did hot swap lenses. This might be a fluke or a serious issue. I’m shooting today also so if I run into the same issue I will try the Sony card and maybe do more lens swapping to see if I can trigger this again.
During the years with my FS7 I had a handful of the camera locking up and one...
I ran into a worrying problem today while working. Suddenly I got a cannot record message and one of the cards showed 0 min. As I only recorded a small amount of clips I had to check and hit thumbnails. All clip thumbs turned up black!
I started recording on the card in slot B but after a while...
On my FS7 I made it really simple by removing the extension bracket and just used the cross clamp the comes with the FS7. The times when I needed it on my shoulder or use the loupe I could in a matter of minutes switch to shoulder use and to attach the loupe was a few seconds away. It has been...
I'm currently shooting a larger green screen production with my FX6 using the Sony 28-135. So far I'm very pleased with how it interacts with the FX6 and AF. I'm doing 90% AF and the only time I do manual focusing is when the actors moves around rapidly with their backs to the camera, then the...
Today I put my FS7 and FX6 side by side in Slog3 to see if they could match. They ended up looking very close even with different lenses on. Just a nudge grading and they looked practically identical. But judging by the monitors on each camera the difference was huge and looked like the white...
