I have an A cam being the A7siii and I recently purchased the fx30 as a Bcam and also realized that this camera is more than enough. Good lighting and Color Grading with FX30 is amazing Image quality. I also do lots of Interviews and these cameras are perfect for that.
i use both my A7SIII and my FX30 if everything is well lit you can do great things with the fx30 but boy the noise level sometimes is insane especially in the red channel
Man, your videos have come a long way from just a few years ago! Super happy with your progress and how you have evolved with your surroundings! Ronin 4D with the 8k gimbal on it looks like an endgame camera for a lot of people, they just don't know it yet.
I'm glad the FX30 is staying in your kit. I love mine. I rented another FX30 as a second cam for interviews and love the footage. My clients are also raving about the image quality.
My Guess at a new camera would be a S5iiX or a Fuji XH2s (I am selling my fx3 as well) Love the camera but i have a c70 that i love a bit more and just need something for socials and travel. That 6k open gate is hard to pass up!
You going to try the new black full frame BM cinema camera? Open gate, full frame, vertical aspect ratios. Only draw back is they are now L mount. Thoughts?
bro, yes we have more than enough! I love that statement and thats how I feel 3 years into business. I started filming weddings and I ended up with 5 lumix cameras. Today, I mainly shoot on 1 camera and occasionally I need a second body for interviews. I donated a camera to church to upgrade the photos and I 'll keep 3 bodies. Eva1 for my main, s1h for my b cam and gh6 for hybrid shooting. God has been good and I need to let go of things for sure lol
@@ChrisFranklinJr bro thank you and I hope to see you keep crushing it! I’ve been watching since 2021 and I’m proud of what you’ve accomplished in a short amount of time. Keep breaking through those glass ceilings man!
The Ronin 4D looks like such a beast. But I agree, I have gear pity when I see any of my equipment being neglected. I wanna use these babies up till they can't!
Robin 4 D going for starting rate , 10,699 dollars plus . American pure dollars !! So you must be in some kind of high end job gigs to be getting that . Congrats !! It’s my dream camera though . For now , am trying to upgrade from my Sony ZV - E10 to maybe … do I even know ?
If you are looking for an A-camera to replace a FX3, it may be a Canon C70 or a Red Komodo. I don't think a others would be an upgrade, because your camera was already top. Cheers!
Hey Franklin, The 4D is for sure an amazing camera,business wise is for sure a good moment to.get rid of one FX3,with Sony popping out 10 new cameras models per year. About GAS yeah it is a problem for a lot of people. Personally I bought most of my cameras in second hand market or in mega sale...and not the newest models...like P6K G1,S5 org etc...still needing one camera with decent AF probably S5iiX in 2024... I think maybe you purchase Blackmagic full frame or maybe the new A9iii ? Or are you up for the Sony Burano?maybe overkill but still advertised als one men band cameras and kind of expensive but for pro maybe a good option...
@ChrisFranklinJr Well, Sir, you have/had both of my dream/ultimate dream cameras! I'm planning on getting an FX3 this year, not sure when, when I get my grown up money, and when I get my further grown man money, the Ronin 4D!!! I totally understand why you would sell the FX3, for the Ronin 4D. But I really like the way you break down your gear, and your technical reviews are very thorough and insightful. Much success to you!!
I bought the Sony A7siii instead of the Fx3 because I liked the viewfinder and kept hearing the images from both cameras were practically identical. But how did you learn the other parts of filmmaking - lighting, camera movement and placement, proper exposure. Did you attend film school or a similar program?
I learned ALOT from my photography background. I use to study cameras daily. But one of the best assets for learning is Full Time Filmmaker. They do a crazy good job at explaining filmmaking!
How do you find cutting and color matching the Ronin 4D and the FX3/30 together? We've had a similar camera journey, I also started with the BMPCC before moving to the Sigma FP, and ultimately an FX3 and A7IV as an A/B cam.
It’s actually not that bad when using the Log profiles on both! I remember watching a video from Peter Lindgren where he cut back and fourth between the FX3 & the 4D and the colors were almost identical!
My 6kpro rig got used exactly twice last year. Guess filmmaking isnt my thing😆. What I will say is built in ND's are non negotiable for me at this point if I film more.
Great video. I needed this as I am guilty of always thinking that there is a better camera out there that will give me better results. I never have given thought to the Ronin 4d so I’ll check it out as my interest in video has surpassed the still side of imaging.
@@ChrisFranklinJr I’ve been watching a while my brother. You’re one of the reasons I started on my film making journey: I dropped my first video a few days ago
This makes no sense to me. When you need low light out of both you are in trouble with the FX30. I don't see the logic. Having a matched pair adds value. You can do everything the FX30 can do and more with the FX3. It will also cost you money and time to sell the FX3. Strange. I own the FX3 and the A7R5 - not a perfect match, but very happy. Best of luck to you.

I KNEW this day would happen, but it definitely happened quicker than expected! 2024 is already off to a fun start.
I think you are going to get a red Komodo x and the new camera 🤔
Dude switching cameras more often than I change socks :D.
I have an A cam being the A7siii and I recently purchased the fx30 as a Bcam and also realized that this camera is more than enough. Good lighting and Color Grading with FX30 is amazing Image quality. I also do lots of Interviews and these cameras are perfect for that.
Right??! Took me too long to realize that! I love it!
i use both my A7SIII and my FX30 if everything is well lit you can do great things with the fx30 but boy the noise level sometimes is insane especially in the red channel
Those colours in the interview clips are phenomenal, well done!
Thank you so much!! The lighting does most of the work & working in Davinci Resolve has helped me understand color ALOT more!
Man, your videos have come a long way from just a few years ago! Super happy with your progress and how you have evolved with your surroundings! Ronin 4D with the 8k gimbal on it looks like an endgame camera for a lot of people, they just don't know it yet.
Thank you so much, Kyle! The 4D just feels right! Definitely a worth while pick up for a lot of people!

I’m 1000% considering it! Honestly it’s such an incredible camera. A crazy good upgrade overall
First!! This is my favorite camera period. I’m purchasing my second fx30 soon.
AYE!!

I’m hoping that you at least make a short on the fx3/30 rigs on the table. They look clean🔥
The Ronin 4D looks like such a beast. But I agree, I have gear pity when I see any of my equipment being neglected. I wanna use these babies up till they can't!
SAME! It was just time to set some free for me!
Smart choice. I love mine fx30.

I remember you switched to FX3 because of great AF ... now I can see FX3 is rocking manual lens with follow focus ... LOL :D
Is an fx30 much of an upgrade on a a7siii
Personally I'm eyeing for the A9 III. Wanna see how it performs in dodgey lighting first in video.
That camera is a beast!! I would love to get my hands on it!
SONY A9iii?
Great video! What are your thoughts on using two FX30's for interview shoots?
Did you list it yet?
Yup! Already sold! I post some things on my IG from time to time! I'm currently selling Lenses.

New camera is either Panasonic S5IIX or Black Magick 6k (FF) :P

Could you please link your mic stand?

What is the name of that desk mic?? I need that!
Mic: amzn.to/3SgfG3m
Cloudlifter: amzn.to/3vv4SWv +

Its not a new year without you switching primary cameras.
Great video. I needed this as I am guilty of always thinking that there is a better camera out there that will give me better results. I never have given thought to the Ronin 4d so I’ll check it out as my interest in video has surpassed the still side of imaging.
I feel that! These cameras nowadays are capable of SO MUCH! It's up to us to push them to their limits!
Upgrading your UA-cam camera to the new(ish) Blackmagic Full Frame Cinema cam...? 👀
I mean… maybe 👀
Hey brother,! You inspire me.
Yo!! Thank you so much for the kind words. 🙌🏾
@@ChrisFranklinJr I’ve been watching a while my brother. You’re one of the reasons I started on my film making journey: I dropped my first video a few days ago
the bmcc goes for a fuji x-h2s, i already know :D
I actually never even thought about that one, but let me go check it out!!
@@ChrisFranklinJr defenitly missing out, the look it creates is insane!
The 4d 8k is just so heavy and expensive.
That’s fair!! It’s a completely different price bracket at the end of the day
Literally the camera that changed my life.
SAME.
New sub keep preaching!!!!
Aye!! Welcome to the channel!
4D 8k. Nothing else to be said. ❤
Can I buy it?
Already sold! Sorry! I sell stuff occasionally on my IG!
Got to say, I'm a little disappointed you're not going full-time osmo pocket 3.😂😂😂
LOL!! Imagine??!! I would love to try 😂😂😂
The only best camera today is the Lumix S5IIx.
Honestly a crazy good camera for the price!
@@ChrisFranklinJr my dream camera.. I use the S5 OG. You can check what I do with it if you're interested.. :)
Maybe selling your FX3 and BMPCC6K, for a new Komodo? 🤭
Hmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔

He said for him. It solves a problem for him and his work. Maybe he doesn’t need low light etc.
You rarely need insane low-light capability for interview setups as you generally bring good lighting to the setup.
You are very correct. I’m never go above ISO 400 with these interviews. So the FX30 will do perfectly fine.
