If you want to get the most out of your FX30 a Cinema Rig like this will help you in your quest. I broke down my rig and built it back up so you could go out and build your own rig. Rig shooting is so much fun because you have so much control of your frame. Let me know if you decided to build a similar rig and if you have any questions. I’ll do my best to get back to you.

He looks so in love at the end when the rig is all assembled. Like it is his little baby
hahahah
holy moly! All I can say is that's a hell of a set up! Nice. coach!
Hey Tone, thank you for that. It’s pretty awesome
Thank you for this excellent video. I'm a subscriber. Keep on shooting. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks man!
Thanks for going through every step of the way with this setup! I can't stand it when people just show it all assembled lol
Thank you, yes I wanted to make it easy. Do you plan on building this rig?
@@thefilmalliance If Amazon ever ships my fx30 pre-order...yes already have the pieces!
Very good demonstration man! A lot of other UA-camrs just assume their audience all have a little bit of basic knowledge already and fail to explain thoroughly. Your video is just clear enough for anyone without prior knowledge to follow.
Thank you Its cool how we are all in the same boat learning as we go. DO you have the FX30 ?
@@thefilmalliance I do have one with the mic handle. Have had 2 decades of photography experience. Yet, videography still a lot for me to learn, not to mention people without any foundation. Well done man!
You've answered the question I'd got for the FX30 regarding memory cards. I got the impression off the internet that the camera needed high quality sd cards or the cfexpress cards, but you are using v30 cards and all looks great. Looks like the fx30 is back on my Christmas list!
Thank you but just to clarify, it takes v90 cards not v30
@@thefilmalliance aw, bummer
Awesome Video man. Thank You!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Solid video, solid information. Stoked to follow pieces of your build as I find something that fits for our workflow.
Hey Jacob, thanks so much for that. So you got the fx30?
@@thefilmalliance Yes, I am talking to 7artisans right now about their 1.05s... I grabbed a 2.8 16-55 to start but didn't like it at all. No craft to shots, which I need as a storyteller. Looking at media solutions right now... CFExpress or Ninja V+... maybe cards to start. I have an FS7 so I want this rig to be streamlined for gimbal and then handheld/tripod.
Love the fx30 content! I am just testing out my own that I got yesterday with the pz 10-20 G. Btw, you look extremely swedish! ^^
Haha thanks, I know I get that a lot. Maybe I should start my next video by saying - hej och välkommen till filmalliansen
@@thefilmalliance Are you actually Swedish? xD You have zero accent!
Loved this very detailed breakdown. Super helpful!
Thank you
Nice rig. My fx3 is similar except I use a 28-135mm PZ. I had that exact same battery and recently snagged the small rig vb99 battery once I could afford it. You are so right that it makes you want to film
That’s awesome. Do you power the camera through usb-c? Thanks for sharing your experience with us
@@thefilmalliance yes sir. USB c to USB c right angle cable. So great.
@@MarineX Right angle, brilliant so you can attach an HDMI clamp! I have to get one, Thank you
@@thefilmalliance yup. Welp instead of the clamp I got the small rig adapter which allows the HDMI to permanently be upwards.
Very interesting setup. When I get my FX30 I will go the complete opposite way though. 😆 Smallest lens possible, ND-filter and maybe the smallest gimbal there is if needed.
That’s a great idea. Small and versatile. Thanks for the encouragement
That's a pretty damn nice rig! What made you chose the Tilta follow focus over Smallrig?
FYI Tilta and Smallrig don't use the same spacing for mounting screws, so you can't use a Smallrig side handle with a Tilta cage. NATO rails/cold shoes work best, but otherwise you can't swap them around.
Thanks for clarifying
I just learned this the hard way.
Excellent video. Great explanation...
Good video! 👍😃👍
Thanks man, did you pick up the fx30?
Thanks for the great explanation, can we use XLR handle that comes with camera with this camera cage ?
Nice rig. I do have one question, as newer vlogger what purpose does a rig like this serve? What are the pro and cons of a rig like this for vlogging? TIA
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.
Thank buddy ❤️❤️❤️i love it 💐💐💐
Thank you for that. Did you pick up the FX30?
@@thefilmalliance not yet available in my country
What is your recommendation for a battery to run two dtaps out? Would love to use a battery to power both dummy battery and recorder.
What’s up bro, Have you looked into the small rig mini vmount batteries?
How much weight for the entire setup? And without the lens? Thank you for sharing!
I have an a6500 rigged out and now I have the fx30 it never crossed my mind to tear it down and replace it with my fx30 😂😂
Oh my goodness. Well now you can change it out:)Hahaha
@@thefilmalliance I was use to it and looked at it as apart of the camera . I switched it out and film in cine IE 🫢
Do i need a cetain usb cable to adequately use this battery on a rig? I cant seem to get the battery to actually power the camera
Looking forward to seeing more footage from this camer, especially the 4k120 and other formats in 10 bit. It would be interesting to compare it to ZV10 and A7iii in terms of dynamic range, and show situation where you benefit from 10bit the most.
Yes I’ll have to do that. Thanks for the recommendation. Do you shoot in slog3?
I built the rig above. Yes. I love it and will never go back. When I use a lens that doesn't need the follow focus, I'd like to use a handle grip. So far I've tried two that haven't worked. One has two screws that don't align and the other blocks the HDMI port. Looks like I need one with one screw only. Can you suggest one? Thanks
Thanks James for your feedback, yes I love this rig! I dont know of a handle but will let you know if I find one
*I saw that you have this on your Tripod, But I'm curious if I made something similar too this how heavy would you say this is? can I mount this on a Master Mount from elgato or is this just a straight hand held unit only*
Appreciate your FX 30 series. I just got mine today. Can you make a comparison between XAVC-SI and ProRes Raw ? That will be super useful for Fx30 users.
That’s an awesome idea. Yes I can do that In the future. Do you have a ninja v?
@@thefilmalliance I don’t have a ninja. I am wondering if I should get the Ninja V+. I heard Jorden from DP review saying the 4.7K output is probably line skipped. So I am not sure if spending 850 CHF is a good idea.
1. Is it safe to handle that weight on nato rail mounted in camera body holes?
2. Who ever found USB-C clamp for safe?
Yeah, you should definitely not underestimate the perception of professionalism having a bigger rig brings when it comes to clients. I shoot with an FS5 mk1...even unrigged it looks super professional to the average person even though the camera is like 8 years old. When I have the vmount battery and shogun inferno on it it's a beast. I'm getting closer to getting the FX30 and will for sure rig it out so this is very helpful. Question: When you need ND do you go VND or use a matte box? I'm spoiled with internal ND on the FS5. I have a Tiffen VND for my a6300 but I think it's pretty terrible.
Does that Hdmi cable work with 4k60 and 4k120?
Can you see both screen display on both monitors?
Nice rig as well :) I`m also looking at the Viltrox Cine Lens Set and a decent Manual Follow Focus System. Do you think the Viltrox makes a difference when comparing it with a Photo Lens (does it feel significantly like a different image)?
Have you noticed an issue with the LCD on the FX30 turning off when plugged into the Atomos monitor?
I just built this rig, thank you! What carrying case do you use for this rig? Any recommendations on how to travel with it?
Believe it or not, I dont use a carrying case for the rig. Maybe I should though:)
I purchased this handle: ...(((SmallRig Top Handle with 3/8"-16 Locating Holes for ARRI, Camera Cage Grip with 5 Cold Shoe Adapters to Moun Camera with Microphone/ LED Light/ Monitor/ Magic Arm, Lightweight only 124g (Lite) - 3765.)))... Obviously doesn't fit. Can I get a link to handle that fits? I purchased the whole kit. I'm only now getting the chance to build the cage. Thanks
OK. I figured out I need a cold shoe handle. Let's hope that works. Cheers.
Excellent video. I have the FX30. What setting did you change so that the FX30 accepts power from the v-mount battery? I hooked up a v-mount to my FX30, but, it didn't see the battery. I checked the settings, and there was nothing indicating a power option through the USB-C jack.
That’s weird, I didn’t do anything inside the camera. Your vmount may not export power from the dtap. Have you looked into that?
@@thefilmalliance I used the USB output from the v-mount battery mount. The battery itself doesn't have a USB jack. So, maybe I need to get the v-mount battery you were using.
Great video, which HDMI clamp would you recommend?
Very good video, By the way, what stabilization mode do you record in? nothing, standard or active and why? i use sony a7siii.
Active because standard is unusable unless your on a gimbal or throw it through catalyst browse
@@thefilmalliance But then if you are going to use it in catalyst, I seem to remember that you would have all the stabilization since it does not collect the gyro data in the standard and active modes, right?
For example, I work in Final Cut Pro, and when I work handheld with my Sony A7SIII I use the deactivated mode to be able to collect the gyro data for stabilization in post correctly, am I doing it right? or is it a mistake to do so? What would you recommend me?
thank you very much for the response in advance
I was looking to get the fx30 but in my country it is evenly priced at $2200, I am beyond confused, just when I thought my mind was made up
Shoot sorry to hear that. Do you think it will come down in price for the holidays?
In mine it is about $2450 with the handle but that didn't stop me. Was the last one on pre-sale and now I am waiting watching this series of videos while I wait.
Does the IBIS work well to remove the shakes? I heard it’s comparable to FX3
What lens would you recommend for low light video?
i whant battery good in cam
Hey! Love the vid, I'm an entry level film maker using the Sony system. I'm considering this camera but I was wondering if there are any disadvantages to using a non native lense like this? Will it effect auto focus differently? Thanks
autofocus won't work on most cinema lenses, and a lot of non native sony glass won't perform as well with autofocus but still usable
cine lenses like the one in this video are manual focus only. newer third party e mount lenses perform just as well in autofocus as sony lenses these days, I have the tamron 28-75 G2 and it is indistinguishable from a sony GM in autofocus.
If you had to choose one lens to film with just one lens for a short film, which lens would it be? Also, do you use speed boosters with this rig?
Well, to answer the first question, I would need to know what I would be filming. And to answer the second question, I did not use speed boosters. I didnt need to, because I had e-mount lenses. I hope that answers your questions:)
@@thefilmalliance that makes sense. I will be using e-mount lenses too with the same camera. I purchased a 25mm Cine lens and a 50mm Cine lens. Do you think those two lenses would the job done for an indoor horror short?
@@doomedthunder6638 Absolutely. Those would work great.
@@thefilmalliance Thank you so much. I appreciate your time.
You mention that using a rig is addictive. SInce this adds a thousand bucks to the price of the camera, could you go into the details of how this can improve my film capturing? I'm going to purchase the camera. I just need help deciding wether I should purchase the rig or not. Thanks. ((::
OK. I just purchased the whole package. Can't wait.
I guess it depends on the type of filming you are doing. I can imagine searching for things to film or being on an event shooting and running. Not for something where you have or need total control nor long takes.
@@ElMeach I'm an indie doc filmmaker. I decided to purchase the rig because I film all sorts of things on the go. I was wondering if the cost was worth it. I'm guseesing it is which is why I went ahead and ordered all the stuff. Still cheapere than an FX# I guess. ((::
DO NOT ORDER THE SMALLRIG HANDLE HE RECOMMENDS. I bought everything in this setup video and it worked out great, but the handle he recommended will not fit the Tilta cage even with an extra screw. I had to return it.
Oh no, please tell me which handle you ended up getting so I can link it in the description. Sorry about that
@@thefilmalliance Thanks for the response! The one you recommended has a connection that only works with Smallrig cages due to two aluminum bumps next to the screw (designed to prevent it from slipping). I'd recommend the Smallrig Cold Shoe Top Handle (3764). It's practically the same one you recommended but with a connection that fits the Tilta Cage.
Also, I would highly recommend getting a right angle usb-a to usb-c cable to connect the power suppply to the camera. The D-tap cord puts a lot of pressure on ordinary usb cables which risks destroying the port on the power supply or the cable. Getting a right angle cable is definitely worth mitigating the risk of losing power during a shoot. You can find these on Amazon for less than ten bucks.
I watched a lot of camera rig suggestions for the FX-30, and this is the one I went with. Its a really solid setup and works great besides for these two minor issues I had. I'd definitely recommend it to any other filmmakers considering this camera. Thanks for the video.
@@thefilmalliance I'm the third person ordering the handle and it does not fit. I recommend you change the links to one that fit so that other people do not have to return the handle.
Thank you so much guys. I am changing it right now.
lol just stop 😂
