In about seventeen days Sony will introduce specs for their new camcorder PXW-FX6. What to expect then? The PXW-FX6 is at the low end of their FX-series and follows the FS7/FS5 route by making a lower cost and smaller camera with reduced features than the bigger brother. As of now there's a...

I had several options but wanted to make something that stayed out of everyday operation. It's a cheap construction but solid. Two metal plates but together and cut to fit. Then screwed directly into the handles two front/down facing 1/4-20 holes. The Teradek Bolt attaches with velcro so easy to...

So as 2019 getting near to closure I think it's time to summarize it. At times it felt slow but looking to the financial part I managed to increase income and still got about three months free time without work. Which is in line with what I have planned. I said to my self last year I didn't...

Today comes a new Sony PXW-FX9 camera with a full frame sensor and 6k recording. Other highlights include: Dual native ISO 800/4000 Venice colors Variable ND 15 stops DR Over sampled 4k recording Fast Hybrid AF Internal 10-bit 4:2:2 recording And more The camera has the same form as FS7 II but...

I just purchased a used Sennheiser MD46 and just want to make sure it's a genuine product. It looks nice but how can I tell it's the real deal? So I'm calling out other owners of the MD46. First I took a look at the spec and it's supposed to weight 360grams. Mine weights 364grams so how much do...

I just got a Weebill Lab coming from older Zhiyun cranes and want to hear from others if custom settings is stored in the Weebill or just in the ZY Play app? Any tweaks to the older Crane/V2/2 was stored in the gimbal but with the Weebill I'm not sure what happens.

I've shot a lot on the C200 since launch but I'm actually surprised by a couple of things. First I never find the footage to snappy when looking at 4k in 1:1. Compared to FS7 I can comfortable display 1:1 and it's detailed and snappy. I only use internal mp4 recording. Second I find AF to be...

I find H265 from the X-T3 to be a struggle when editing so I started to test the camera and which settings I could get the smoothest editing experience and still have the best quality. My main editing is done on a Win10/4 core-i7/Nvidia1080Ti with Nvme2 drives for media and my backup is a 6...

I wanted to try a ring light and bought an off the shelf Viltrox VL-600T. Just to try really and wasn't expecting to much. The whole light comes in the typical Chinese carrying bag and the light ring is made of plastic. There's not enough padding to keep the panel safe so it's more of a bag to...

I just took delivery of a 1x1 Aladdin All-In-One RGB panel. This being my first RGB panel and not having any experience myself from RGB panels look at this like a first look. For years now I have used Aladdin Bi-Flex panels. First the Bi-Flex 1 Bicolor, then the 1x2 Bi-Flex Bi-Color and for six...

I had my FS7 for more than four years now and it has worked fine and still does. But when I put my FS7 and FS5 side by side last week to match them I noticed the fan on the FS5 was audible but the fan on the FS7 was silent. I know the fan is very quiet on the FS7 but it's still noticeable when...

As each year goes by in this business I'm getting tired of the endless bombardment of new gear. It's not easy when so many have their main content focused on the new indispensable thing you just gotta have to work. How much written on places like Cinema5d or Newsshooter are related on anything...

I want to slim my FS5 further and tried to remove the microphone holder but the screws appears to be glued as when I tried to unscrew them I broke my screw driver! What can be done to unscrew these screws? They are tiny and it's difficult to fit a normal screw driver inside.

Okay, so been shooting and testing Canons latest C200 and I've found some issues when recording internally. I know that 35mb/s 4:2:0 is less than ideal and to use C-LOG is on the border to what's recommended but here it goes. The image from the C200 with internal recording does not handle flat...
