Thank Gaku for introducing to me the TELESIN Magnetic Neck Mount for Phones. That's exactly what I'm looking for.

The color grading here is really nice!!

[groebot]

Never wanted to buy an entire list of things before until now. Very nice these are all things I have like love on the fly to film solo

I so agree with the build in monitor of the FX3! Also for me is enough to use only that, I hate when I have to film with an external monitor.

I recently got my first full camera setup: the Sony A7C II, FE 24-70mm GM II, FE 70-200mm GM OSS II, and the DJI RS4 Pro. Up until now, I’ve mostly filmed using my Mavic 3 Pro, so this is my first hands-on experience with a dedicated camera system.

A friend recommended upgrading to the FX3, saying it offers better video quality and a more cinematic image. I’ve already invested in some great cinematic LUTs, a PolarPro ND filter, and a K&F Concept 82mm Black Diffusion 1/4 + Variable ND2–ND32 filter. I’m also purchased a DJI Mic Mini and just ordered the 35mm f/1.4 GM lens.

I really like the A7C II so far. My question is—can it truly deliver that deep, soft, cinematic look I’m aiming for, or is the FX3 significantly better in that regard? I’m willing to invest in the FX3 if it’s truly worth it, but if the A7C II is capable of producing professional cinematic footage, I’d prefer to stick with it.

great vid, super informative, straight to the point
thank you

[CUBOLOGIX]

Would love to see you teach us how you do the color grading of your videos, this one is just too damm good

[luk.s.]

What do you think about replacing almost all lenses by the Sony G Master 24-70mm?
Prob keeping a wide 10mm

[English_to_Persian]

I think your color grading or maybe correcting is a little bit harsh, I mean the tones are too much rich, I think less rich tones with a little bit more creamy look is easy to eyes and I personally feel much better when I'm watching your videos, by the way, great content man! keep the good job!

[juliancastanedaphotography]

Siick, just found your chanel. Super good info

[joshua_wagstaff]

Need a new VND…I thought the helix pro was kinda GOAT of ND’s…but now I’m considering this Freewell system!

[crunchynoodles]

great timing for the black friday deals

[lizavetakharkovich]

Wooow, that is really helpful video, happy to find you on YouTube. thank u

[chandlerpham]

Looking for a mist, ND, and CPL set up and would love to hear your thoughts! Which freewell system would you suggest? I saw that they have a few different versions

[EmiHZ]

is there videos on how to film/ edit and color grade videos like this

[kalsangtsering]

can you just make a break down of you simple edit like it can be anything of your brand shoot. that'll be really helpful.

[fotoaddict]
