Thanks for the update! So overall would you recommend the Nano Shield?

I'm a Sennheiser fan and have an MKH 8040, 8050 and 8060. I use them for various situations for my video work and am now wanting to grab a blimp for using my 8060 outdoors. This will be my first blimp, so I want to make an educated purchase. The one I currently have my eye on is the Rycote Nano...

Hey friends, I just wrapped a shoot where I shot 4.5 hours worth of interview content on three cameras (Sony FX6 & two Sony A1's) plus a MixPre-6 II recorder. The 4.5 hour recordings were taken in 30-60 minute takes, give or take. I had three Tentacle Sync E mkII's for this shoot, one for each...

I am considering selling my A7SIII for a second A1 to go along with my FX6. I love my A7SIII, but I am getting more jobs recently that are requiring me to deliver photographs in addition to video. I don't like doing both and would prefer to just do video, but I'm finding that marketing teams for...

No sir, I have not. I have been pretty happy with CB, so I haven't felt the need to test it against anything else. Plus, I recently purchase Catalyst Prepare (subscribed to rather) and am trying to use that program as part of my workflow moving forward.

I've had my FX6 for about 15 months now and I have it pretty much completely dialed in the way I like it. Everything from the menu options to the top plate, mic mount, aftermarket monitor bracket, etc. It's working like a well oiled machine for me at this point. The only thing I'm still toying...

For me the gyro sensor data is a real treat on the FX6 and I get great results from it pretty much every time. But, I'm also not trying to smooth out walking shots with it. For me that's what a gimbal is for. I use the gyro sensor data for smoothing out handheld shots that get just a touch...

I'm looking to sell my Sony A7SIII with the original battery and charger. You'll be hard pressed to find a better condition used camera than this as it looks like it did the day I bought it. The camera has had a glass screen protector on it since day one which I'll be leaving on for whomever...

So I shoot to a 180 degree shutter at 24p primarily on the FX6 and I haven’t ran into any issues when using the gyro sensor data in Catalyst Browse. I just shoot like I normally would and if something feels a bit shaky for my taste, I pull that clip up in CB and am able to fix it right up. It’s...

It's definitely less important as you get wider. Plus, the FX6 has the fantastic gyro sensor data feature so you can stabilize in Catalyst Browse after your shoot if for some reason you aren't happy with the amount of movement in your shots. But, to be honest, if you balance the camera well, add...

Yeah I agree, it's not a deal breaker, just something you have to be aware of and more careful with. I also think being able to get extremely low with them is another selling point for capturing wildlife in addition to the speed. That's actually one of the reasons I want to trade my FSB 10 and...

I can say as a Flowtech 100 owner that these legs are pretty dang tough. I tend to be pretty careful with my gear, but tripods are often one of the tools that definitely take more of a beating. It's just kind of the nature of working with them. Yet in the past two years I've owned the Flowtech...

I have a couple of Polar Pro BaseCamp Matte Boxes, both with the third state adaptors, and I really like them. I use mine with straight NDs, mist filters, gradient filters, and sometimes a polarizer when needed. The modularity of the matte box combined with how lightweight it is, especially when...

Have any of you tried out the Lens Compensation features on the FX or A7 line? In the past, I had a bad experience with Lens Comp on my A7RIII where my pics seemed off and I ended up figuring out that Lens Compensation was turned on by default. I turned all of it off and it fixed my issue...

I'm looking for a SmallHD Focus SDI monitor. I would love to take one off of someone's hands who doesn't have a need for it anymore. Thanks!

I'll follow the last post with my experience using the FX6 for over a year as well (Feb 2021). The camera is fantastic to work with. It's been a great upgrade from my FS7II in virtually every way. Even things I didn't think I would like, like the lack of a locking E-mount, I've grown to be ok...

Man guys, this is perfect. This is exactly the kind of product I need. I in no way am looking to replace a makeup artist and love working with them. But as we all know not every job calls for them. So if I can bring some Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets and a couple small bottles of...

Man, I don’t usually feel overwhelmed when it comes to video, but this conversation for whatever reason feels overwhelming haha. I guess it’s just that I know absolutely nothing about makeup or anything like that as I’ve always relied on bringing artists in for that. Of course that’s not always...

To the videographers of this group, do any of you carry some sort of small makeup kit with you when you’re filming? I know absolutely nothing about makeup or brushes or anything like that, but I do know that sometimes when filming interviews when I don’t have a makeup artist in the budget, I...

I've been using Westcott Flex 1'x1' Bi-Color LED Panels for several years now, plus a couple of Westcott Ice Light 2's for lighting interviews and small rooms for corporate content. I've put the LED panels in soft boxes with different levels of diffusion and have been able to get pretty decent...
