I saw 999 subscribers and I had to push it to 1K! Fantastic content, bro - keep up the good work!

[wearetrackclub]

Nice tutorial, Jarod! Really like how you put this together. Great info 👏

Very good job. I rarely comment on YouTube, and I never subscribe, but I must say in your case I made an exception. I like your delivery, and your thoroughness. Just a note, I especially like the fact you didn’t ask me to subscribe or “smash that like button“ until the end of the video, lots of guys ask you to do it at the start, before you know whether you want to or not.

This was Exactly what I needed. Great work

Thank you for putting this together. If you don't mind, I wanted to suggest cutting down your videos, this one is 17mins could have been 5min.

Hey, thanks for this! In my USB settings, I only have the options for 'Auto, Mass Storage & MTP' any idea why I'm missing Sel. When Connect?

[olafheilker]

you have some crazy good content, keep up the good work!

[DorianDevelops]

I just set up my fx3 with the cam link 4k in obs but I'm only seeing an option for 1080 in the preset options. Do you know if there's a way to get full 4k out of the camera in obs?

[BigJayFromLA]

Great Content!! I needed this. I want to know if the FX3 can output 4K 60 on a livestream?

[nomadvizion]

Amazing. You answered all the questions I had.

[ezlo]

Hey, I have a question. Am I able to have both the usb-c method connected as well as the elgato. Use the usb-c for charging off computer and use the elgato so I can use the 4k quality?

[AngstekspertKimLiljehult]

Hi. Great video. Did you use fx3 to record this video? And what lens did you use? Thanks

[imani-bht]

Thanks for the video! I’m looking to stream a live event and wanted to know whether the streaming frame rate matter? which one would you recommend to set on the FX3; 24/30fps or 50/60fps?

[TheKnicksReport]

Great video bud!I see the cam link offers 1080p for the Fx3. Any other way to get the 4k resolution for streaming on the Fx3?

[digitallinds]

Hey! Great tutorial, I'm just having an issue where I can see the FX3 in the Sony Imaging Edge, but when I go to Zoom / Google Meet, it doesn't give me the option to choose that as a camera. Any idea why that would be?

[lionsayshey]

Hey man, I know they just released an update that allows you to stream via RTMP but I'm very confused as to how to do it... In my mind I would like to be able to run my stream from my office pc, send the footage via wifi from my camera to OBS and then be able to stream from the kitchen for example doing a cooking stream.... But I can't figure out if I need to create an rtmp server or whatever... Does anyone know how to do this?

[Mattithias]

any suggestions if Camlink doesn't work in Teams but just fine in Zoom?

[ShutterSpeedGaming]

I wonder if the app allows for the Sony FX6 to be used as a webcam?

[negativaura]

Can't you just livestream with the camlink method and then charge with usbc connected to a wall bank, and just have spare battery fully charged just in case?

[EthanCasner]

Hey man. So i have an issue where whenever i try to actually use it as a webcam the only image any of the software i'm using gets is just that "imaging edge webcam logo" and it never goes away. Got any idea what's up there? I appreciate you.
