two tools for the job right here and I’m not talking about the cameras

[MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Sometimes Cheaper is Better was written under my yearbook picture.

[ZachMayfield]

Patrick is actually my uncle and he got me an fx30 for christmas last year, love it so far

[AllThingsFilm]

The more I see the FX30 covered in reviews and comparisons, the more I think of keeping the FX30 no matter what other cameras interest me. Hands down, the FX30 is a great camera.

It's always good to see the two creators I trust the most together for a collab. More Undone and Tomasso collabs, please.

[HugoVarvoglis]

I bought the G9II and I couldn't be happier, it does everything I need from the GH7 in a smaller package.

[danieldeemer]

You guys have such a good chemistry with each other. I want to see a (very silly) Studio Undone where Patrick is in front of the camera critiquing Gerald's studio and Gerald has to defend himself while operating the camera for Patrick. Keep up the great work you two!

[Coatsey]

Guys, that was a great video. I have the A1, and the stabilisation is as you say, meh, that said, what I absolutely love is that I can shoot in 8K and have a slightly broader scene and reframe in post. For people like me, who are not very skilled, this is really powerful. You hear people say why do you record in 8K when you don’t have an 8K TV, but they’re missing the point of the power and value of shooting in a 8K, cropping, re-framing or creating a pan when there was no original movement in the camera. So my friends, while I might be a Muppet in my skill level, it would seem there are people who are Muppet like than even me.

[UncleJessy]

So wish I went with the FX30 over the ZV-E1 - constant overheating is killing me. But will now try out active stabilization

[NoahHerman]

the fx30 is a budget beast! i own two of them for my production. they're worth every single penny ❤ great video 🔥

[ChadSchrandt]

I've shot plenty of commercial work on the FX30, price should never discourage you from thinking equipment is professional or not.

[Phoebetheboss]

I think the a6700 is rated at 5 stops vs FX30's 5.5 stops, so I would very much be interested in seeing that test as I have both cameras myself and wonder which I should bring for run and gun situations!

[JonathanPalfrey]

Big fan of this style of video. It’s nice to follow what you guys have been shooting with the tours and then breaking down why you use a certain camera.

[YaleWall]

All of those reasons are why I love my a9iii. Incredible stabilization and incredible picture - it’s often overlooked as a video camera, but I think it’s the best middle ground in all these areas that you can get right now.

[JohnnyMotel]

I am keeping my GH5, simply the best for handheld.

[TopshelfJunior]

That Panasonic stabilization is untouchable.

[MinimalisTech]

Patrick is the reason I got my fx30. No plans to update to Full frame any time soon

[mashudali]

I just bought the Lumix S5iiX and I love it... The FX30 has a place in my heart and I still want it... But I need to get better at stroytelling, audio and lighting. Love the collab "tools" hahaha

[SimonMeunier]

Went for the FX30 last year and everyday I thank myself for it. I don't care about Full Frame and I do video professionnally.
Paired with the right lenses (Sigma 30 F1, 4, Sigma 16 F1, 4 and Tamron 11-20 F2, 8) and the right lighting the image is absolutely stunning !

[JohnRuman]

Does the A6700 do the same thing as the FX30 with the quality IBIS and Active Stab. seeming to work with you?
