I have this backpack and I love it so much, I did review comparing to my other backs. You looking for perfect bag, there is nothing perfect, even Sony fx6 (yet) don't record sound with 100fps Vs fx3. I think for price what you get is great 👍😃 I love that back!
super clean set up man. Was wondering if you can adjust this set up for vertical video?
Great transparent review.
Thanks Jay, I'm just thinking about buying this camera and doing some research. You'd probably recommend this camera but how highly? :)
They’re great cameras just old now in 2024. I’d prefer something with the more updated color science and performance like an a7cii or a7iv
@ImJasonAnthony Thanks for the quick reply, it's good to know that - my current camera is a bridge camera I bought almost 15 years ago (for about 300 dollars) so thankfully the step up to an A7 III would probably melt my face right off. 😂
Awesome video! Very informative. Thank you
U have a video on how you made that custom isolated? Or ever thought of selling them?
Thankyou for the honest review
Hey mate I have the original smallrig cage too. I angle grinded off the piece you mentioned but the bottom screw doesn’t line up at all. Can you help with some insight there?
HELL YEAH
Anybody got an issue with remote control handle always roatating the gimbal to the left? (imitating the joystick movement to the left)? Tryied recalibrating, tilta support is not helpful
They’re the worst man, we actually found a radio similar to the movi about a year ago with the big joystick and focus wheel that’s been 10000x better than a ps4/xbox or DJI control handle
@@ImJasonAnthony do you have a link?
Have you ever tried mounting your Hydra arm to a speed rail setup?
@@chrisborger7016 yessir have a rear hitch plate and run triangular rails on the top of my 4 runner to secure the vertical rail to adjust the height of the Hydra arm!
Just curious cause get way more micro jitters from using that rather then the original suction cup mount just like using the speed rail set up seems more secure
@@ImJasonAnthony is it better to have your vertical pole closer to the truck because it’s almost like the movement of the trucks suspension gets exaggerated the farther extended out you are. I bought mine from cine milled. In there tutorial video it says the further you are from vehicle is best so that you can pan farther left and right without getting back of truck in your shot. But like said earlier with the actual suction cup mounting system that goes right onto back vehicle I get minimal jitter. Maybe I answered my own question still have keep trying new things but lots people say the rs3 pro is poor gimbal for vehicle moving shots and lots people complain about micro jitters. I purchased a dji osmos 3 other day it’s unreal what kind smooth footage u can get from a 800$ peice of equipment.
@@chrisborger7016 unless you’re on a crazy wide lens which I’m usually at the widest for rollers 20-24mm when rear center mounted I never see my 4runner in the shot. Some friends run 16-35’s maybe at 16 you might get a little. I’d go walk outside with the cam and lens and just stand at the back of the car and see how far sideways you can turn the camera pretending it’s on an arm to see what your frame looks like if that makes sense.
Great review, keep being tempted by their ads and have had it in my basket twice, but haven't pulled the trigger due to lack of reviews. Do you have an "able to carry a rig" and accessories style backpack that you could recommend or know of?
Exactly why I wanted to grab one and review it. To be honest backpack wise really not sure maybe the PP Boreal 45L
@@ImJasonAnthony thanks man, I’ll check it out! I’ve janky home made solution atm using a tool box bag with suitcase handles. But it only really fits the rig and some wires.
How did you rig the stock monitor on the back like that?
I've seen dudes rock a FX6 on a gimbal. Do you think a streamlined setup of the fx3 without the handle and monitor could work on a gimbal as well?
This is gas
Appreciate you bro this was like 2018 shit haha 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Now this was a very thought out brutal honest review which is much more needed in the community when reviewing equipment meant to protect and carry around our valuable investments. you made wayyy too many good points as i was also myself looking into buying one and thee are barely any reviews on this bag if not none but yours. Hopefully they look at the points you've made and have a version 2 in plans. maybe they should hire you to be apart of their design team the way PK collabed with Nomatic. Thanks for the honesty on this bag, if they listen they have a great product on its way.
Truly appreciate the kind words man! I’m just trying to bring some honesty to the creative community.
Bro!!! Wolfpak is dropshipping company. I can link to you their manufacturer that do the same noname backpack for $20 unit. Get some respect for this current brand and dont compare them with one of the most low quality backpack brand in the market. It doesnt matter if they make multi millions usd profit. its low quality
Bro you’re tripping hahha. I promise you we had 4 massive warehouses with thousands of backpacks idk where you think you heard this but you’re BUGGING I even have videos of thousands of boxes of backpacks 😭😭😭 clearly you never owned one because you wouldn’t be saying that. Also you know a lot of products cost way cheaper to manufacturer, that retail price is called a markup. Cmon bruv you don’t know business
Also to play off of this when I was at Wolfpak we had 5 other companies “clone” our bag with cheap materials and legal would send C&D’s maybe that’s what you’re thinking bc those fake bags were trash
@@ImJasonAnthony NO!!! Dont flip the tortilla. Those noname backpack existed way before Wolfpak. I know it because i buy most my stuff straight from China. And after comparing quality. I noticed that they just dropship and stick their name. After you can say whatever you want, especially in the USA where everything is copied. Look at your wines!! Look at your cheeses. You sell Camembert not made in Camembert, France. You guys sell Cheddar that isnt made in Cheddar, UK. You guys criticize China a lot for copying. But you are the Olympic Champion and protect behind your laws that protect this kind of behavior with low moral. Just dont compare Wolfpak with this new brand. You are insulting them. Those guys dont do drop shipping. You can tell they designed the backpack themself.
very clear and interesting video. I also use the Sony FX3 and the 24-70 2.8GM. How heavy are the counterweights I see in your video? Can you tell me where I can find them?
Bro love this review! It's so hard to find unbiased reviews online, especially cuz these big companies dish out insane money on influencer marketing. Thank you for bringing that brutally honest New Yorker to the review lol If the fx6 doesn't fit, you think the fx3 with cineback would?
Appreciate the kind words bro you know I keep it 100% I make plenty of money on productions to be taking cheap products to review that costs companies $100 or less to produce ya know. People need to stop being desperate for some free gear and start being real. 🤡🤡🤡 will do anything
Also fx3 should with the Cineback I’ll let you know
This review is a little skewed. You mostly said it was "trash" because of what it didn't have. Why would you review something poorly because it didn't have certain features, when it doesn't even advertise or claim to have those features? For what it is -- a simplified, budget light, it does what it's supposed to. And if you're doing your research and know what you're getting, I think it's a great light.
Oh so when you turn the knob from 0-10% and it instantly jumps to 50% with no real gauge on what intensity you’re at isn’t a problem or the fact that the CRI isn’t close to the temperature you set? 5600 reads 6300k with my light meter. Those 2 callouts aren’t features not listed, they should just function properly. I got the cx100 to see if it could compete with the x100 🤷🏻♂️ I research everything and do my homework. I’m just tired of people riding brands jock and will say anything for a free light that costs $50 to make. My time is way more valuable to create these videos in trade for low cost items. If you enjoy the light that’s great bro, there’s something for everyone but don’t come at me saying it’s a great light. Can it light something up . . . Sure, can you get the most out of it, doubt it but what do I know 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for this review bud. I was thinking about buying this bag, but if you can’t run a baseplate with the FX6 that’s definitely a no go. Is the best solution right now to carry a fully rigged FX6 a doctor bag?
Seems that way, just wish there was something better for travel in backpack form
Thank you for reviewing the Sakk Bag! Theres no one reviewing this bag and I cannot find much info on this. I was thinking of buying it for a fully rigged FX6 but my main bag requirements are well padded for protection of our expensive gear and shoulder straps that are comfortable and wont dig on our skins. So I will be not be moving forward with it.
Appreciate the kind words bro, I was in the same boat and picked it up out of pocket just to see how it is. Was going to do a review regardless of the outcome and my experience using it. Like mentioned didn’t want to bash the company but giving legit feedback.
@@ImJasonAnthony We need more transparent reviews like yours. If everyone out here just keeps reviewing products positively, companies will not improve and the end users will have to live with whatever products they churn out for us, good or bad.
I got one, and I love it
Did you try the smaller 'mini' version - for run-n-gun a bit smaller is a plus!
I haven’t to be honest, I do like the mini’s and would pick one up but this one hasn’t been a bother but I get it it’s big and bulky at times
Just got the DJI Mic 2 with 2 x tx and 1 x rx question: if you have RX connected to camera hit record on camera will it trigger 32bit recording on the tx?
From what I’m told is that by using the adapter we lose 32bit float on the mics, only when using the cable does the 32bit float record. Look it up there’s a few videos mentioning it
Enjoyed your video….very much! 😊 Thank You! 🙏🏽 ✨
Thank you so much for your kind words!
What I like to caullllll. This is brilliant
I guess it depends on the level of production you are after or are involved with. As a stills photographer who now and again makes 15 second vids for tiktok using a shoplight...the cx100 is more than good enough. On a production set, and professional settings I can see your point and I agree.
Does the „new“ adapter also work with the DJI mics first generation and the fx6?
My sensor seems to be moving . Is this normal ?
Yeah this can happen and sometimes it may look wonky, as long as you're not noticing anything in your footage you should be fine. *Edit - just make sure you've performed the sensor cleaning in menu and then leave the camera ON so that it stays locked. If you try to clean it when your FX3 is off, that's when you will see the wiggling sensor and it will be more difficult to clean and it may fuck up your IBIS.
Yo man I’ve had this set up for about two years and you’re so right on the limit of information available or people simply just call it crap and give up. I’ve got mine dialed in pretty bad ass now and have done speeds on interstate with zero issues. My main reason for this comment is this was the best tutorial / feedback on the arm I’ve seen put together and a lot of which I already encoperate on my current rig from trail and error. I’m shooting an all original GTR R34 v spec tomorrow and couldn’t be more pumped. I’ll be encompassing some of this for sure!! Subscribed 🤟
Hope the production went well, I legit made this video after being so frustrated with the little info that’s out there and outdated shit. After owning 2 (we front & rear mount 2 cams at the same time) we’ve been able to pick up on some tips and tricks! Still needs a lot of playing around and thinking about moving to the movmax N2. I just grabbed an MR2 Spyder so there will be more car content on here on how to shoot better automotive cinematography🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great video! Filmed on n what camera?
We have this issue currently. 5 years after this video was made. did Sony ever address it? we're looking at a huge service bill to make the camera usable again.
a much less expensive option...AWESOME! i just shot a 2-day basketball tournament from like 8am until 7pm. i didn't want to spend $$$$ on a cine saddle but i wanted to see what it would've been like using one. so i filled an old lowepro sling bag w/ a towel and voila! worked like a charm!
What light do your recommend for a small space with softbox
I own over 30 lights that I’ve purchased over the last 5+ years. For small nimble lights that can power off a vmount for hours would be nanlites forza 60’s they have all different versions and super versatile. We’ll rig them up on rafters using cardellini clamps, they have softbox, projectors, fresnel modifiers the list goes on!
Could you tell me what the purpose of the nato rails in your rig build are for?
One is for my top handle the other is for my monitor mount, if you watch a little more you’ll see them installed on the rig 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@ImJasonAnthony Those 2 rods at the bottom is what I was referring to, I thought those were called nato rails my apologies.
Do you have any luts you recommend bro ? Big fan of your work 🔥
I don't bro I grade everything manually after taking 5 colorist courses over the years. DM on IG tho if you have questions how to get more out of your looks I got you! @im_jasonanthony
@@ImJasonAnthony appreciate it bro 🔥
I’m so f’kn scared 😨
This video was so helpful. I’m just starting in this and so far I have a few businesses that are willing to let me come in and do some promo vids. I am doing them for free as I do believe that offering that, building a portfolio first is key. So I’m glad you said that haha.
Could you build a similar setup for a7iv? Can I use the same parts for building a7iv?
Finally, someone to say it! Appreciate the honesty.
What are your thoughts on the Amaran 60x for use as a key light or hair light in interviews/talking head videos?
I haven’t used Amarans 60w but own nanlites version and have about 4 of them. Not enough to key unless it’s more a KZread talking head but for an edge or hair light they’re amazing.
@@ImJasonAnthony Thanks for simple interviews and talking heads I might go with 2 Nanlite FS-150B lights. As long as I can plug them in and remote control them with my phone that's all I need.
We’re grateful that you chose to post this video. We’ve been looking for slim cable tie downs for the longest time and have never heard of the Smallrig ones you mentioned in this video. We were able to streamline and slim down our rig. Thanks again for the upload!
Great video! Thank you for taking the time and effort to share this! As you guys were wrapping on the gig, you were talking to one of your guys about the Sigma lens not talking to the Sony. It’s getting me a little concerned because I have several FX6’s and a few Sigma lenses. Is this something to be aware of? Thanks!
Best video on this system that I’ve everrrrrr seen. I own one and it’s a headache. Thank you.
Appreciate the kind words bro! Yeah it is and honestly moving to the movmax n2 system 😭😭 just don’t want to deal with it anymore!
Sweeet!! When you do, could you let me know the difference between that and the MOVMAX RAZAR? Cuz again, no one, not even movmax channel helps me see the difference besides the means of mounting.
THANK YOU
Where did you order this from , on their site there's no add to cart or buy option
Their site is going to be up and running soon they’re doing a makeover, like I mentioned in the video DM them on IG tell them I sent you and you’ll receive the order form and they’ll get it squared up
I got a long drive tomorrow so I’m gonna wait until then to watch this ‼️‼️
Why would someone talk sh1t about a 20" "gary coleman" c-stand?!?! I have 4 of them and use them often.
Could you please make a video breaking down how you charge your clients and show any templates if you have some, because i suck at it myself
Can deff work how we come up with our budgets, factor in profits etc!
Super clean bro 😎
Appreciate you
