    Need Repair on Sony wireless UWP - D16 anyone know of a service other than Sony?

    I am getting random audio drop outs on the system. Wondering if anyone knows a good repair shop? It also appears the receiver no longer scans for available frequencies. I checked with Sony for a repair, while they can repair the unit they want 155 for diagnostic which if that is all would...

    Any experience with the MicParts SDC Schoeps CMC5 clone kit?

    I have been using the AUDIX SCX1 HC and not had any RF experience yet - so the Neutrik EMC connectorts are a good tip to look into. The only drawback to the SCX it is very sensitive to low frequency - like hard boom pole movements - etc. On the bright side I am very happy with its ability...

    Aputure Leds - Daylight vs Bicolor?

    I am looking at the Aputure LS 120D II to use through a -Intellytech FF-5 x 3.2'HC Fast Frame Scrim Diffuser with Honeycomb Grid. I need something with a bit more punch that LED panels. I don't always have the budget for grip truck so I am looking to put a kit together for small productions...

    For sure - The mix of AF/MF works really well. That is why I am moving to Sony lenses. On occasion I have rented Zeiss CP lenses or other manual lenses when I use an AC, but I am pretty impressed with the AF - of course there will always be certain projects where focus pulling might be...

    I have been using METABONES adapters on several Sony E mount cameras with Canon lenses for years and recently with FX6 - Iris control is fine but no AF. Recently I sold several of my canons - I am going strictly with Sony E mount. I still have a SIGMA 50 - 150 2.8 which is a sweet lens but...

    I am talking about the handle - just looked in manual and it says tighten by using HEX #4. I know the grip feels funny and not solid it has a but of play have not tried to tighten anything there yet because while there is play it is still feels secure, but who knows I will look into that.

    I think I remember reading in the manual which says it needs a hex tool or allen wrenche to tighten. Went to home depot got the wrenches and it does tighten it. I did not make it to tight and keep the wrenches in the bag in case it gets loose.

    Been Using it for over a year and half on A7III and now on the FX 6 - great lens. I do miss the 24 mm wide aspect - but you can't beat it for the price. I am toying with the idea of buying the Tamron 70 -180 I also have the 24 -105 Sony G.

    t is a well made support bracket. With Fx 9 loupe it is solid and stays at any position one would want. I can remove it easily if I just want to use the LCD with the native Sony bracket. For me it ticks all the boxes. If I want to leave the vocas bracket on I will need a wider camera bag. I want...

    I just received the Vocas FX 6 LCD support with FX 9 loupe. Will set it up shortly and post a Picture. As far as Zacuto EVF down the road I might decide to get the one - I am going to NAB to see it first hand or possibly BH in NYC - then I will make up mind. For now I like the vocas with the...

    FX6: The Sony ILME-FX6V Owners Club

    I just ordered the VOCAS FX6 support kit for the LCD and a FX9 loupe. I was going to go for the ZACUTO but was concerned with the burn in factor, the weight and the bulkiness. But without seeing it I could be wrong. I have the alphatron and I burnt it twice. I could use the alphatron but...

    FX6: The Sony ILME-FX6V Owners Club

    If I recall when I shot film, they had some device on viewfinder where once you took the pressure off eye piece it would shut so no stray light could get in and expose/streak the film. I don't remember which cameras - ARRI or PANAVISION - I can't be sure. I do remember the eye piece but...

    Well I can tell you with Alphatron Viewfinder - I burnt the LCD screen three times. It was my fault - did not shut the eye piece with the cover. I now have replacements screens should it happen again - but will be selling FS700 with alphatron soon. With FX6 I do not want all that bulk - hope...
