So several month ago a long time client discussed doing live and live-streamed events. We agreed on a path forward and what the costs and desired outcomes would be . I bought gear to make this happen, now in hindsight I probably should have waited and rented but that is not always easy and in...

Dropped the price to $2,000.00 Sold please delete

So my partner and I have done several barter deals with a hotel in the Caribbean over the past ten years or so. Always with the same person and up to this year it has always worked out. A year ago January 2023 we did a shoot at his hotel (he owns it) and again for barter. Each of us to get 10...

I bought the little Sigma 56mm F/1.4 and I love it for interviews both on my A7III and my FS5 mkII. Nice for interviews.

Following up....sometime later I admit. So I rented and tried a few interfaces and mixers. The last one I rented was a Zoom L8 and I liked it but found I needed more inputs so I finally bought the Zoom L12. It works wonderfully as an interface via USB with Da Vinci Resolve, handles all the...

Hey Paul! Thanks for this, I will break out the soldering iron and see what happens!

I bought a Zoom F2 recorder to pair with my G3 Sennheiser wireless transmitter. The Zoom F2 has an output that can be set using the software provided. I set it up with a Tram on the input and it records well, good quality sound. I patch the output to the input of my Sennheiser G3 Transmitter and...

So I bought an FS 5 MK2 because I needed a camera of this ilk for a project I am working on. My order for the FX6 will not be fulfilled until the end of October according to my local Sony dealer. I have been using my A7iiis for most of my work and I bought full frame glass with the "next camera"...

If you are working with an external monitor, such as I am using a 4K TV as a client monitor and BM Decklink Mini Monitor you will need to reflect your timeline setting in that as well. Sometimes I forget and pop up a 4k timeline when its set to HD and a face closeup has been known to cause a...

I have decided to part with three support pieces. The first is a Sachtler Video 14 head. This is not your usual Video 14, when I sent it in for servicing through WF White a few years back they told me that it was rated for 30+ pounds and was originally used on a studio dolly. In very good...

For what its worth to anyone waiting for a camera in Canada, I was at Gosselin my dealer in Montreal yesterday. The manager Kindly looked up when my camera would arrive and explained how things in my country work. As a dealer they submit all the sales with a deposit to Sony Canada. Sony then...

If you have one that is sitting around not being used, I want to buy it. Thanks Brian

Thanks Doug, You have certainly got me thinking. I will do a fast survey of what I have invested at this point and look into renting a Z750 or Z450 for an upcoming shoot. The Z750 with good glass is a significant investment at this point in my career/age but I guess the resale value will help...

Well we are going into the last of June, still no FX6 in Canada and it would seem the same for our neighbours in the USA. Just wondering if there are any available for sale retail in the UK, Europe or Australia? Really wondering when Sony will start to ship or perhaps manufacture would be a...

Thanks Ben, it totally makes sense to use support and I will certainly do so. Just have seen many not using it and wondered if I was paranoid. The new Sony FE C 16-35mm T/3.1 G is also a heavy piece of glass that I will try when I get the FX6 body. My dealer has agreed to get one in for those...

I have noticed a couple of members who also have the Sony 28-135 F/4 lens in the group. I have also noticed it on their FX 6 without lens support or rods. I have been using mine for a few years on my trusty A7iii, but have always had the camera hanging off the back of the lens with rod support...

Thanks again, I will order it and have bought the Zacuto Z-Finder Recoil kit baseplate and extension arm etc. Sorry for the rant.... I never had these issues with my old Iki.

Thanks as always for your reply Doug. Please don't missunderstand me, I fully do intend to buy a proper "viewfinder" for the FX6 and completely accept that Sony don't give a damn if we don't like the LCD monitor as our only option. But it still ticks me off. So I will perhaps join the lineup at...

I am, like many others waiting for my FX6 to arrive. Between the stories of Covid and fires in factories and retooling for other products, I am just frustrated, annoyed and maybe this post is simply venting. My point: So after 50+ pages here and many pages and sites elsewhere we can all agree...

Looking for well kept Sigma 56mm F 1.4 for Sony E. Thought I would post in case anyone had one they were not using to sell. Thanks Brian
