Full Parts in the description above! Total cost (excluding camera/lens) came up to around $2100 before tax (or the budget option is around $900 - manual follow focus, smallrig mattebox, excluded video transmitter and a cheaper monitor). A full FX30 production breakdown is coming around February! 🎉 LUT PACK WINNER THIS WEEK IS...... TEN27!! Please email me at victorlaforteza.yt@gmail.com
Dude, I don't know much about color correction but you get some of the best colors out of any individual UA-camr I've ever seen.
Seeing your Korea video with the FX30 single-handedly sold me on the camera and your channel, keep it up!
That means a lot! Thank you so much. FX30 is making me regret my FX3 hahaha. It's just too good for the price.
Same here!
Warner Bro's did a great job on the intro.
The first shot reminded me of GxAce
I just got an fx30 and this is hands down the most convincing rig breakdown. I’ll prolly opt for the cheaper variant but piece for piece, this is what I’m going with.
Liked and subbed
the most dramatic video hahaha I loved it! thank you for this video Victor. You just got a new subscriber. :)
You just gave me a boost of motivation... Muchas gracias
hahahah gotta have some fun with these little videos! Glad to have this video inspire some motivation!
I really like this build! Awesome stuff. I'll probably base my build off of this minus a few things
My A7IV rig is 98% dialed in to perfection-next on the list, wireless follow focus and transmitter. Also, need a monitor upgrade and another lens 🫠
Yeah!!! Getting there 🦾🦾 transmitter first for that client experience if needed haha
Another ripping video dude and 22.5k followers!!!! You're absolutely killing it!
Thanks for catching this one, Ged! I poured my sorta poetic soul into this 🧐 it’s growing consistently!!!
One part that I would buy instead of the V mount battery is the Ulanzi charger for Sony FP batteries which doubles as a PD power bank because of its USB-C out port. Also has a Dtap port. That way I can economically use Sony FP style batteries which last forever on this camera. Just make sure to use a USB-C cable that supports power delivery such as Kondor Blue (expensive but worth it, supporting up to 10v, 5 amps).
That's was a great tip man. Thanks for that
I really like the tophandle. All the others I saw from small righ until now need an extra piece to have a good length
I found that as well with the other smallrig handles! Needed a little bit more grip with it
“Sprig” makes great cable management for camera rigs. Great video! Lots of great info!
Thanks!! I’m gonna revamp my cable management at some point
That small rig V-mount battery really caught my eye, might have to pick one up after watching this video 👀
It’s so sleek!!!! Makes me want to clean it all the time for that shine haha but very functional as well
the film grain in this video is very nice!
dude, i wanna buy all the parts not just one part. Nice setup. I'll just imitate. It is the highest form of flattery ;)
Actually if the power delivery is 9V 3A then it stalls the battery drainage while in use and charge it when you shut it for a moment or so. Tried that with the USB-C port on my beefy ZGCine 200WH and after 9 hours total and 3:15 hours of total video+photo the camera is still 100% and of course the 200WH is an overkill but bought it to mount 65W COB on the camera on my last documentary and can take as well the 110W Colbor CL100X easily via D-Tap to USB-C cable that is made by Colbor themselves. Might get a 300WH battery next for night wildlife filmmaking.
Definitely the Shinobi monitor and the matte box 😍
Good additions to the rig for sure!!
That Acsoon follow focus looks tasty. 🤘
The part that I was interested in would be SmallRig VB 99 as it’s small and versatile
I think the Shonobi is the last piece I need for my rig. Been back and forth with the Portkeys lh5 ii but the interface and tools of the Shinobi is just more refined. Thanks for the rig inspo!
Yeah the shinobi is pretty sturdy too. I’ve dropped it a few times and still going strong. Controls are nice and cleaner!
you’d reckon Portkeys LH5P II better than Shinobi? I haven’t decide which one to go with my FX30. Any advices? I don’t need any external raw recording though. cheers.
The shinobi has some good things, but other things are a deal breaker for me. First of all the color accuracy is really garbage. Ven after buying a 100 dollar cable to calibrate it, it isnt perfect. Then it takes a while to start up and shut down and the menus are better then almost all other brands but still dont very fast and intuitive. Small HD is simply the best with their menus, but sadly too expensive. The focus peaking is very bad with the Shinobi, there is no pinch to zoom and it has a problem with displaying luts too contrasty. So all in all, while i really want to like it, the Shinobi has too much flaws for me, to be a professional tool.
Now i ordered the Portkeys and i am really excited to test it out.
Great video. Thanks. Also saw the "Apple Sidra" can. Nice, bro.
Ahhh apple sidra is so good!
I ended up going with the FX3 but I do a lot of vertical IG content so I went with a more lightweight rig that I can easily go vertical or horizontal with depending on the shot. That was the main reason I went with the FX3 instead of FX6. The FX6 seems like it would need a lot more accessories to make vertical shooting feasible. And the 3.5mm microphone jack on the body was huge for me as well since I don't always want to use the huge XLR handle. Still waiting on some pieces to arrive so I can finally put it all together.
Same here! Way too many vertical content deliverables recently. I stuck with the small flexible form factor with the fx3 & fx30. Also easier to travel with. Good luck on your rig! Update me on it! I’d love to see your vertical rig. Mine is still on the works
mind sharing the setup when you're done? i shoot a lot of vertical content too
I just need this V-mount battery... Enough for me charging via the power bank :(((
But this smallrig v-mount? Such a beauty piece of gear. I didnť know it existed until now. Really thinking of buying one.
And really good video as always. So calm and chill. Lovin it
Thanks for always tuning in Michal! The v-mount is really good! It's small enough to be your own battery for everything while travelling too!
Maraming salamat bossing for this video. I also have the fx30 and I was looking for videos like these!
Any time broski! I have another one coming up para sa lintik na vertical content hahaha
@@VictorLaforteza hahah nice! Saan ka nakatira? Lintik na yan bertical na yan!
Cool set up. I would go for the small rig vB99 battery
wooo love a new victor laforteza video to start my day. love the info on a rig but right now for me i just stick to a gimbal for the ease of use. but eventually ill definitely get myself a rig :D
Gimbal is almost nice! Form factor and the stable shots 👌🏽
might by that small rig battery at the back .... great rig man!!!!
Thank you!!! The smallrig battery looks so sleek!
Great video amazing intro!
i had a question; is the plastic handle from Sony strong enough to hold this weight?
I think with the handle extension, it will fortify the structure a little bit more but if it’s just the handle.. I don’t trust it that much lol it flexes easily and looks like it’s gonna break
i need that dove tail plate and the monitor holder with the hand tightener
Very helpful. Love the price list for budgeting 👏
Glad it was helpful!
one part that i might buy is the matte box
what a intro vic!! 🥳
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
the smallrig monitor mount with small hinge on the side is very useful to tighten it, I had the one with the allen key on the side like you said is very hard to tighten especially when you forgot your allen key! 😂definitely going to buy that smallrig monitor mount with the small hinge on the side!
RIGHT!! I’ve had a shoot there it was just dangling untightened.. lol it’s the small things that matter!! Little conveniences add up into the whole experience.
Thank you Victor. Do you know how much the whole thing weighs? I'm watching FX30 rig videos and no one says how much their rig weighs, and no one asks. I'd like to know because I'm shopping for a tripod head and would like to know if I need the heavy duty type. Thanks.
Good question actually! It’s about 5-7kg if I remember correctly. I think I did the calculation before because of the same reason.
Hi! Do you now if we can record internaly in te sony a 7iv and dont lose te auto focus using te atomos ninja five like monitor . Thanks and sory for my ingles.
Saludos de argebtina
hmmm i personally don't have a ninja V so I ca't test it out for you :( I think gerald undone has a video about it though!
I’d buy the whole set it’s nice!❤
it's an amazing setup!!
Def the vmount battery!
still going strong after bringing it to a ton of production!
Is it safe to power the camera and monitor using the same V-mount battery? I’ve been told not to power my camera and monitor using the same V-mount battery because it’ll fry the HDMI port and possibly the camera. Is this true? (I shoot on the fx30)
I'm using a small rig vb50 battery. I have an 8v dc connection to my monitor and a 9v USB-C power delivery to my camera.
USBC should be okay! The vmount has voltage regulation and I think the camera has it too! It’s only when you use the dummy battery (at least the cheap unregulated ones) could fry the camera. Getting good cables can help as well!
@@VictorLaforteza thank you for the response! My first shoot using my new fx30 rig is tomorrow, will be using your lut pack to grade the final!
@@timsmithvisuals awesome dude!! Send me some screens of the final vid, would love to see em!
@@VictorLaforteza for sure, I followed you on IG and I’ll send it through there!
Nice Rig. Very inspiring!
I might buy that follow focus 😁😁🤲🏽
It’s a cool addition!
Hey Victor, does your monitor work when filming in 10bit 4K 60p? Or would you need the ninja v??
Thanks!
Yeah it’ll still show but the fps on the monitor is 30fps. Nothing too drastic since it’s just a reference monitor.
Bro this opening… 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Anson in the house 🔥🔥 thank you dude! 🙏🏽
@@VictorLaforteza absolutely dude! I’m quietly sitting back just watching you blow up! And it is well deserved. Your production quality is AMAZING. I appreciate you dude. Creators like you are always an inspiration to me and the content I produce. Keep it up! 🦾
@@Ansonandco That means a lot coming from you!! It can stop any time (as we know the highs and lows of UA-cam lol) and still have a lot to work on but hopefully I get there. Your graphics and just the overall aesthetics of your brand is just so cohesive and it's something to learn from. Let's go get it for 2023! 🔥🔥
@@VictorLaforteza dude I appreciate the kind words! The branding has always been something I try to dial in, so I appreciate it greatly. The look you’ve got going on has definitely given me some ideas for the new year.
And as someone who is in the middle of a UA-cam low, I completely know all too well about them hahaha but dude stay hungry, keep having fun and let’s freakin go! To taking over in 2023 🍻
@VictorLaforteza why did you leave the fx30 screen opened to the side?
So you can see the menu. It'll be blocked by the battery if it's still tucked in.
How do you power the follow focus unit? Since you are powering the camera with the USB-C port I might have missed where you are powering this piece
The unit comes with a usbc to dc cable and I connect it to the 8v dc on the battery. I totally forgot to show it.
thinking of those hdmi cables actually
They are indeed low profile!! love em.
Why do you have 2 manfrotto QR plates in the description ? Are they options you’ve listed or you’ve used both in this video ??
One is budget and one is an alternate option that would fit well in the same build.
@@VictorLaforteza okay perfect just wasn’t sure, would you happen to know if that plate is compatible with the tilta baseplate ? Thank you
What kind of matte box adapter did he use for that 24mm lenses?
67mm adapter included in the mattebox kit!
great video! i need to know if you are able to reach the battery?
yep! there's enough space for it!
I definitely need that small rig vmount!
All the ports!!!
Love this video! What was your light setup and temperature?
Thanks! I think this one I was playing around with it. 5600k WB and then light was maybe 4200k? Can’t remember !! Sorry! Haha
Nice video 🙌🏾 looking for a new wireless follow focus was waiting for the new Tilta nano to come out but might take a look at this one it looks pretty cool.. just dropped a subscribe 👍🏾 also any chance your going to do a Fx30 set up video ? Just seen you’ve done a a7IV I’ve got both and always looking for the best ways to set them up lol
Amazing! Glad to have you here in the channel 🙌🏽 yes the setup video is coming soon :)
What i don´t get of these smallrig batteries is waht ydo you do qhen your batery dies,... you have to loose al connections and put another one, thats simply not good in certain eviroments like a ceremony, you need to be able to change batteries fast! and the also super expensive and fragile. Super nice video BTW
well the smallrig battery lasts for about 10-12 hours of continuous shooting. I think that's enough to cover an entire wedding day haha or atleast change it when you have a small break in between the ceremony and reception! It's not too troublesome to unplug and change a new v mount into the rig :)
@@VictorLaforteza it last´s that much?! oook, then it has much more sense, I tough it would last around 4-5 hours top. ok, I stand corrected
one part that i might buy is the matte box because my shots be super contrasty due to high shutter speeds and fast aperture
Yeah! It helps a lot especially with unwanted flares.
I might buy the acsoon Follow focus, since tilta announced their new one but hasn't released it yet...
I think it could be supply chain issues. I’ve seen it on other companies too. Either way, the accsoon is definitely worth while!
How long to switch to a gimbal setup? Usually I do both during a shoot ;)
I have a b cam dedicated for gimbal! But I have a setup to switch between both. Just need to perfect the build!
Very nice. I like the weight distribution. I 75% of the time need a shotgun mic on my rig though and phantom power does drain battery. So I'm looking for nice and compact like this v-mount/rail solution. How long in average do you get with a monitor + camera until it switches to internal battery?
About 3-4 hours on the vb99! Monitor, camera, and wireless transmitter. I usually need two to power my rig for a whole day shoot!
@@VictorLaforteza Nice! Thank you for taking the time. Keep up the good work!
Great rig, man.
Thank you! It’s been a work in progress
First off, amazing video! Second, I’m new to creating rigs, would this setup work for the A7 IV as well? (Sorry if it’s a dumb question)
100% you can use it with an a7iv! :) happy rigging!
@@VictorLaforteza You're awesome, thank you so much! I'll make sure to use those links!
Does your small rig top handle with the trigger sometimes just stop working? I have had it do that several times over the last couple of months. Usually shutting down the camera and re plugging in makes it work agin, but not always... It has a mind of it's own...
Hmmmm nope! I'll keep an eye and report back if it does act up at some point but so far so good for mine.
@@VictorLaforteza Thanks brother
You single handily sold me on the FX30 a week ago. Already here and now planning my rig. Have you got any recommendations for VND filters that won't burst the bank?
Haida VND is pretty great! NiSi True Colour VND seems to be the UA-cam favourite for now. I've also heard K&F is decent for it's price.
Good video 👍🏻 I have the FX6 but I still use it nakedness 😂 but the FX3 is so small and awesome too
I’m looking at the buying fx6.. 👀👀
@@VictorLaforteza great choice 👍🏻😉
Excuse me if I’m asking a stupid question but, how do you get stable footage with this rig ? Are you using IBIS + Lens stabilisation ?
I have a XT3 that doesn’t have Ibis, and I’m using vintage lenses.
Do a need a gimbal ?
Thanks 😊
Definitely not a stupid question! So making it heavy with the rig gives you a natural looking handheld footage. Ibis and lens stabilization if I have it! It won’t be like gimbal smooth but it’s more off an organic film look. I usually strip it down for those super smooth shots with a gimbal :) hope that helps! If you have other questions feel free to ask 🙌🏽
@@VictorLaforteza Thanks man !
Video is excellent man! whats the red light source in the corner?
Nanlite forza 60c with a projection attachment :)
The devil in in the details they say... perhaps not, but how annoying it is when details are skipped away !
This is why I take good notice of those ultra-slim HDMI cables. When too thick, they are stiff to the point the just snap in the middle of a delicate pan movement. When too flimsy they just hang and dangle, hitting handles or tripod legs or opened screens... cables also are probably a devil's thing !!! ✋😈👌
It may not be the sexiest part of your list, but it sure is that Achille's heel (or hell !) of a serious rig.
Many times I told my son, you can have the most expensive car in the World... what if your accelarator cable breaks ? This is why top-quality cables matter, a lot !
So, thank you for mentionning good ones, they are now on my (Christmas ?) list. Eventually in my bag, some day soon.
Anyone know what the font is in the thumbnail
Victor I’m really excited to see new video from you. I like how u make video and this style and vibe. Can you make video about 7artisans Vision Cineline (25mm, 35mm, 50mm T1.05)? I know you’ve got a video about 12mm but I think video about the Vision line will be really useful for beginner filmmakers. These lenses are really cheap especially on Taobao (淘宝), price for all the line is $970. Thank you so much really appreciate that.
Okay! I will ask them if I could review the whole vision line 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Ganda ng videos mo bro! 🙌🏻
Salamat bro! 🙌🏽 I appreciate it!
I'd love to see manufacturers design flip out screens so they could disconnect and be mounted in other positions. It's such a weak point in the design. Nice rig though. You gave me some ideas.
I totally agree! That would be awesome so have if we can switch the screens to a different location! Better mounting options and rig possibilities
kamusta! This is awesome dude!
salamat dude!!
Is there any specific reason you went for dummy battery route instead of using usb-c port other than transmitter?
Sorry just want to confirm! for which piece? The monitor? That’s the only dummy battery I have.
@@VictorLaforteza oh sorry I misunderstood. How do you power FX30 while using this rig? Not from Vmount battery?
@@user-nu8bf3bf9m Just with the sony battery and the USB-C charging from the vmount. It trickle charges it while operation so it still lasts about 2 hours continuous shooting but if you turn off the camera in between takes, the vmount charges it to full battery fairly quickly.
@@VictorLaforteza I see now! Thank you!!
Great Video
thank you!
I have a similar rig but where do you mount an on camera mic? 😁
I usually swap out the video transmitter with a microphone. If I need both, I will swap out the handle with the XLR handle mount the monitor on top of it or with a magic arm with the handle extension and XLR cage.
设备好帅 人更帅 我的朋友 你真棒
how long does the battery last with this specific setup?
about 4 hours!
I’m looking to buy a bmp6k pro. So I’m definitely going to need a cage to attach a mic and imma need that battery pack lol.
Yeah!! I switch my handle to the Sony XLR one and put a mic on it. I totally forgot to put it on this video but yeah the smallrig VB99 has been great!! I'm hoping this lasts for years!!
@@VictorLaforteza no worries, great video. i hope it last you a long time as well. i shoot drumline content on my channel and i really want to level it up with bmp6kpro. every video on my channel has been shot with my iphone and its definitely served me well, but its time to take it to the next level!!!
Amazing video. Can I record pro res raw on the fx30 with a ninja V? Is it worth buying?
haven't tried pro res raw on the fx30 as I have no use for it but it is way more flexible than the internal codecs. Is it worth it? depends on the type of work!
@@VictorLaforteza 😍 what kind of works would prores raw would be recommended on?. I don't know, the fx30 screen isn't that good and I could buy a ninja V for less than 500 bucks. Back in the days it was way more expensive, especially the plus version
@@giuliomalloni3975 something like you would give the footage to a colorist! big budget ones. I mean it also helps with any type of work but I find the internal codec is pretty good already to grade and play around with that's why I stuck with a monitor vs a recorder :)
Bro i keep hearing the song in the end,what is the title of the song?.
something new by anthony lazaro :)
Hye Victor! Whats the title of bgm for the intro?
I can't remember off the top of my head but I got it from musicbed!
May I ask what the song at the end is? Thnks!
Something new by Anthony Lazaro
what's the name of music in the intro?
Zero by Ryan Taubert from musicbed!
GENIAL GRACIAS
Nice rig buddy! By now you've used the fx3, fx30, a7IV and I think the a7sIII. Which one of these do you use the most and which one of these would you say is your favorite?
Thanks dude! Last year, the a7iv was my most used camera for UA-cam and hobby stuff! Image quality of the video is amazing and photo is an added benefit for me. My favourite is the fx3 still because it’s an a7siii with a really nice small cinema style body. Video centric more like. It might be taken over by the fx30 because it’s such a good camera for it’s price and apsc doesn’t really hold me back. The a7siii was good during my rentals with it but it still felt like a hybrid (which it is) but it should’ve been just the fx3 all along.
@@VictorLaforteza Well put, I see your point! I went for the a7sIII, just because I though viewfinder might come in handy and that I might enjoy taking some photos on the go, although 90% would be for video use... (coming from blackmagic cameras that are purely video-centric). I am bummed though that the things I'm missing on the a7s III, could be fixed with a software update, (preview LUTs, better menu system, etc), but I don't think Sony's going to do that... which is kind of silly. What features do you miss from the fx3 whilst you were using the a7sIII or IV?
And do you find yourself using the viewfinder that much?
I haven't had a chance to use the fx3, so I don't know what I might be missing physically (potentially better button layout for video, better grip, tally lights...)
Thanks once again for your feedback!
I went for the A7siii for similar reasons as you. Also got it new for $1000 cheaper than an FX3 so it was a no brainer. Been very happy with it the last 2 weeks
@@bartsimpson2131 I think I miss the convenience of the layout a lot when I use the hyrbid bodies. I set it up almost similar to the FX3 body but there's just something to it that works very well with that cine body. Tally lights are good as well, it's a good feature but I can always get by with the red box on the screen while recording. Really not much to miss haha just preference and added convenience which I believe doesn't worth the big price jump. I would've bought the a7siii if it was in stock when I was shopping but I only found one fx3 during that time so I jumped on it lol
@@VictorLaforteza There's just something about that gunmetal, venice-looking finish that makes it look nice. When I was buying my a7sIII, the difference was more than a 1000$, just like Steve, so it seemed like a no brainer too. I was going to go for the fx3, but as I said, I;ve never used hybrid cameras before, so I thought the more friendly photo capabilities might come in handy if I ever wanted to get in to photography, since I don't have a dedicated photography camera. But yeah, if the differences were bigger, as in if the FX3 had false color, shutter angle (again with the software), I definitely would've gone for it. It's a real pity they don't provide these types of firmware updates. I remember getting firmware updates on the bmpcc 4k, it's like getting a new camera (better frame rate options, rgb histogram, gen 5, etc). I know Sony's capable of doing this....I''m being a bit spoilt here.
They're all amazing and capable cameras, very thankful that we have these sorts of problems in this day and age :)
Thanks for the info Victor and take care you guys!
Just about to order a rig for my A7 IV that has been lying in the package for like a month 🤣
You gotta get it up and running!!! 😂😂
I really want an fx30 now 😭
It’s such a beast of a camera!
How did you attach the baseplate to the cage?
two 1/4 screws (I think they are a bit extended by 1/8). I got it from the smallrig extra screws
Any specific usb c cable ??
Any high speed usbc would work!
Great!
Nice rig … can this be used for the A7iii?
yes you can :)
Thanks 👊🏽 for the quick response
Does this works well with cinematic effect filming?
Sorry I don’t understand the question :( what do you mean?
@@VictorLaforteza sorry, I was wondering is this like a cinematic rig?
Wait so did you power the camera with USB c?
yup!
One thing to note is you can fry your camera. It happened to me. So you have to connect the camera power first and then the hdmi. If you do it the other way you can break it.
so which cage do you use? sorry
Smallrig cage fx3/fx30
A follow focus on a Sony body is overkill in a way lol. The autofocus is predictable enough. Nice rig tho!
Hahaha yes but it’s for those shots that need precise rack focus
how do you capture good audio?
Depends on the production. I usually add a shotgun microphone for doc work. If it's interview, I have a dedicated audio recorder with lavs and an overhead shotgun microphone.
but you can add everything to this setup right or would you need more rails mounts?
@@IzachBao yes, you can just switch the handle with the XLR handle with the smallrig extensions. That's the beauty of it, you can add or subtract whatever you want to it.
