Shot on the FX30, pretty impressed with the image quality!!! Crazy dynamic range for it being an APSC sensor. Was able to really stretch the shots while keeping natural contrast. Can see it being pushed the most in that sunset shots.. was able to bring my face up a lot, just needed good bit of noise reduction.

As far as the whole weird gear racism towards each other ... I think a big part of what fuels that is exactly what you said, when people aren't actually artists/storytellers then their job is to be a technician. Technicians are rarely artists. So technicians are going to focus and debate and even attack primarily on technical things ... artists do the same thing, just about the artistic aspects. Actual artists/storytellers are a supreme minority on UA-cam and especially in the comments ... I mean how many people are making UA-cam videos about how to tell a great story? And who can actually tell a great story? Not many ... hence the gear wars, where the bell curve of the hobby/industry works within.
Truth bomb. Pinned.
amen
Well said
Thanks for helping me clarify my career path.
"gear racism"?? Haha, this got to be one of the most unrestricted examples of metalinguistic negotiation.
Legit did the same thing. Sold both Komodo’s last year went back to Sony & picked up FX6’s and it’s been fun again, better workflow and more attention to story telling! The camera really is a Swiss Army knife hence why docu and reality TV is using them like crazy right now here in LA
The camera does not define the artist. There are many camera collectors these days. Wise words.
Cam thanks for the great content. Looks cold AF there. Really excited to see your work documenting First Nations.
Love hearing what your experience has been so far. You’re the realest on talking about how an artist interacts with his gear and you get it. Also love the format of how you’re documenting this, and the footage of the actual shoot looks amazing bro
Are you digging the 360 camera footage? My buddies kept telling me to get one and did a day before this trip. Think imma keep it glued to my camera for BTS now
@@cammackey cuss dude I didn’t even notice it was 360 footage. Which means yeah it looks great haha
I love how much you are digging the FX6. Such an amazing camera. I'm looking forward to seeing what you create with it!
i followed you when you had the xt3 and was doing videos with it and continued to watch you throughout cuz you create dope shit. ✊🔥
Thank you for the support man!! I feel bad I haven’t put out any informative technique videos in a while. My life has just been going so fast. Hard to balance UA-cam with everything going on. But imma try harder!!
Great video!!!! Glad you have found a great tool for your amazing work man!
Also, 12.8k ISO is the GOAT. I thought it would be goofy and was a weird number to use before i got my first a7siii, but using it in the field was AMAZING. It's like carrying extra lights with you, lol. So helpful for run and gun
Loving all the talking head shots! Beautiful landscape. I’ll have to rent one of these. Thanks!
Awesome video Cam! Skin looks sick too!
Nice to see you happy overall. congrats!
I went from the R5C to the FX3 and a A7r4 and have been soooo much happier! it was hard to switch but now like you im enjoying creating again!
Just less comprises. It’s soothing haha
@@cammackey 10/10. not looking back! enjoying the content your posting nice work!
Such a great video Cam!
Thank you brother! Your videos helped inform me on the A7RV btw, pulled the trigger on it!
@@cammackey 😁👍
Cam is about to break the world record for camera changes in a 12 month span ;). I’ve been shooting FX9 the last 12 months, eND is great, great dynamic range and colors on the FX9 as well. Heard nothing but great things about the FX6, jealous of the smaller form factor for gimbal use.
-Jason Frausto
Cam.. brother, u need to be protected at all costs. your reviews, your input and vision is my absolute favourite amoungst other artists here on YT. Super down to earth, natural, and no BS. The artistry behind the shots is a huge bonus. Thank you!
Thank you for the love brutha. This switch to sony is causing a lot of hate. It doesnt affect me in a sad way, but it really annoys the hell out of me hahaha. Just to know there's so many people who are too distracted on gear culture instead of what the reality of tools for art.
@@cammackey canon fanboys do be like that and I feel like a few of them probably feel betrayed 😂
@@DavidMota which is crazy. Rather people not sub to me because they think I’m loyal to a camera brand. I’m loyal to my passion and projects haha
@@cammackey imagine limiting and basing your “creativity” exclusively to one camera brand that will probably never know u exist 😂
Sad sad people.
Loved this! Just a passionate artist sharing your unbiased opinion on the tools you use to tell the best story you can. Acknowledging that you were too stubborn to change but realised and did something about it was class.
Thank you for stopping by! And yes, art must come before all the BS!
I’m just here cuz I like your videos loool and your colour grading. The FX6 is dope for sure
Hahaha I appreciate it! Imma do some color grade breakdowns soon!
Absolutely agree with the R5C points. Got my FX3 because it’s tiny but I really went back and forth on the FX6
Once you experience the Auto ND you’ll never be the same
Yeah legit anytime I have to put a VND on now I’m cursing a storm hahahaa
This. Auto ND and the in between stops is a huge difference when it comes to convenience and ease of use
@@RockyMaiviaMiami agreed!
The internal ND is magic!
I loved the electronic nd on my old FS5, the nd was so fun. I would map it to the hand grip dial to the ND vs aperture, since I tend to change my apeture less in general. One of the big reasons I really fell in love with the C300 mark III and the C500 mark II was the ergonomics. They are a little heavier than the fx6 when the battery and grip are attached, but stipped down the just the small battery, a lightweight grip and the 4.3" inch monitor everything felt really nice. Of course a C500 camera package is a lot more than an FX6 package, and even if you go for the c300, you could buy two fx6's for that as well. I invested before the FX6 existed, and even as a FS5 shooter, I wasn't happy about the ergonomics of the FX9 when it shipped and since I already had a lot of Canon glass it made sense to invest in the ergonomics on the Canon side anyway. I still miss the electronic vnd but having a boxy camera with a balanced grip and full-size xlr on the body was just a great fit for me.
Don't sleep on the little button in the hand grip, you can set it manually to a number of functions including a "Push AF/Push MF" toggle, to enable af when you want, or switch back to manual, it's behaviour changes depending on what mode is enabled (I may not be remembering correctly but the manual has more details). Nice for grabbing focus quickly, but having it be manual by default. There is also a "Push Auto Focus (AF)" mappable button, so you can just push it to grab focus, and when you let go it goes back to manual.
Overall I have to agree to you large point of view. It's more about finding the tools that get out of your way and let you work. Even tho I heavily invested in Canon, I didn't even bother with the R5C because it's heavily neutered without CLOG2. CLOG3 is at least 2 stops or more clamp curve wise vs SLOG3, it's just a massive difference that's it's almost not even bothering with.
Thanks for making great stuff, can't wait to see more of you doc stuff come down the pipe.
Great message. It’s not about the gear. It’s about the story and the gear is there to help you capture that story. Lots of great gear out there and the Sony’s fixed things that bothered me from their last family (the FS series) I own the FX9 and am still very happy with it. And rent higher end gear when budgets and needs ask for those.
"as the career grows, the gear grows with me" that's nice
Dude I love your take on camera's! You're passionate about using the right tool for the job and I love how you call out the camera culture. I definitely get caught up in that crap and it takes away from the actual art of filmmaking. People assign their self worth to their gear, myself included, so I appreciate you calling me and others out on our shit haha. Thanks for packing all this valuable knowledge/experience into your videos!
Hey man I do it sometimes too. And when I do I know it’s because I’m bored. And if I’m bored that means I’m not doing enough for myself, my creativity, and my community
I'm so stoked for you that you FINALLY got a video camera and are pumped about it! I know you have created great work still with any camera and even back in the XT3 days but jazzed this opened up more opportunity for your film style. I know you did like the R5c and I'm currently looking at it or maybe the Sony A7Rv because I do still need and want photo still. I am leaning towards Sony with the fact that they have 3rd party lenses. I could always get the ND EF adaptor and still use 3rd party when I want. I'm coming from an XT3...
Oh man that switch is a tricky one. I think if you’re wanting to expand further into video… and don’t plan on doing any client work.. either or is fine. But if you’re planning on/ are already doing client work.. Sony all the way. I’m sure eventually canon will be forced to support 3rd party lenses and to stop throttling their cameras. But they’re gonna have to loose even mroe sales before that happens. Which is ridiculous and jsut rather not give my money to a company like that
@@cammackey right on.... I used to be into booking clients but I went a different direction with my career path. So now I'm mainly looking for an all around camera to just travel with, document fun adventures maybe shoot some adventure sports ect and my 5 month old daughter as she grows up and vacations we go on... . I do still love hiking, shooting auto racing, car clubs, portraits and if I WANT to pick up a small client here or there for some stills or some promo video for IG or web stuff I have the camera and capability, but yeah I don't rely on photo / video work as a source of income at the moment. And looking for something that would be Tech proof for many years to come and just last.
@@jdpst20 sounds like you’d be fine with either or!! I’d either rent both or at least try to get your hands on both to see what fits your comfort better. I like canons robust feel but Sonys are more compact which I like just as much. For video, Sony wins. For photos, the canon is a little more of a enjoyable experience because their screens and viewfinders are beautiful. But other than that for photos it’s all the same shit honestly. For menu systems.. their both extremely diff but both can be learned easily if you just take the time. Obviously for lenses.. Sony has all the options.
@@cammackey awesome sounds good. I'm leaning more towards the Canon mainly because I still have a canon 1n 35mm film camera I love shooting so I could technically get EF glass or Sigma or Tamron for both systems using an ND adaptor for RF to EF and be set. I do like Canon for it's robustness as I've owned a 5D2/3 and 1dxii in the past and they are just bomb proof it feels like where Sony to me feels a bit fragile like the XT3 sometimes. Thanks for the tips!
The a7rV has alot of rolling shutter. So if you do alot of camera movements you are better of somewhere else. The a7iv would be better as a hybrid and alot cheaper.
🔥
Thanks for stopping by bro bro
Audio options sound really frustrating, but internal Auto nd filters would be so awesome. Looks like a solid camera, and image quality is solid.
I’m so invested in Sony glass that that’s the reason I won’t leave the platform. Im also thankful for lens options and third party alternatives for Sony.
Looks like an awesome place.
I’ve been on the fence with an XH2S for my personal travel buddy - just because the image looks so gd beautiful everywhere i turn. I watched your videos on it and I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on the image front! I don’t hate my FX3 at all for quick work and turnaround. Just seems like the Fuji has a little more sex in the image. This was a great video sir!!
Dig the road-trip review setting! Especially since you were up in my neck of the woods! The electronic nd is so dope, I always felt like the fx3 was more versatile than the fx6 but that nd gives the fx6 a big positive differentiation!
Man I had zero time to even sleep on this trip hahaha. I’m always up there tho so hit me again next time! One day.
@@cammackey Dude, I feel that! That drive is so long and is basically the most boring thing ever until you get past Fort Collins lol I was also surprised you even made it up there because pretty much all the roads you'd need to take through Wyoming have been hard closed! I recognize the shot where you were freezing in front of the windmills lol where was that?
Looks solid. I need to visit some mountain ranges, The flat land of Michigan is driving me crazy. Also I 100% agree with your message at 8:15. 95% of cameras nowadays are freaking amazing, you can take stellar images with a phone. it's that 5% people get bent out of shape about.
Hey! Great video, love the commentary . . . As a fellow FX6 owner, shooting client commercial work and fashion editorial vids, 2 quick tips:
1.) you mention no “auto tracking”; there is a pseudo ‘quick’ way to engage a similar feature, between adding a few key AF features to preset buttons . . . If you haven’t yet, watch Philip Bloom’s “Sony FX6 AF” tutorial videos . . . He explains his system for setup and tracking AF, which I’ve adopted, and works like a dream for quickly jumping to a ‘tracking’ scenario
2.) I’ve owned all kinds of monitor arms, and by far and away, the Tilta Mini Articulating Arm is incredible . . . Works with my Atomos V+ and SmallHD monitors, mounts anywhere, Arri locating pins, small and svelt, strong like Avedon. ✌🏻
I think I watched it a while back so I’ll have to circle back to it. Thank ya!
And the only reason I don’t like magic arms is because i very frequently have to change the angle of my monitor within moments. So wouldn’t want to have to deal with loosing it all the time
I stumbled into your channel and love the unscripted delivery
My edits are truly a mess hahaha.
I just found you the other day. I love your content though! I don't even use Sony, lol! Good video brother, keep it up!
Hey I’ve only been using Sony for a week so I’m right there with ya hahah
I have an R5c and I'm considering selling it and going the Sony route as well. I've been very impressed with the images coming from the newer Sony cams. My main gripe is that the Canon Cinema's autofocus just isn't cutting it. I have yet to do a tracking shot or a push-in shot without it losing focus on my subject. The only problem is that I'm HEAVILY invested in Canon glass and own multiple Canon bodies for my wedding business.
Oh man I actually had a good experience with the R5Cs auto focus. I feel like a lot of people complained about it but it worked perfect for me honestly. I had only RF glass tho so could be that
Keep the canon glass and just get 1 sony lense for the auto focus? Canon glass is most reputable
Everything You Wanted to Know About the SONY FX9 and Were Too Embarrassed to Ask! You are going to marry that camera man! Yes, the variable ND is a life changer! Did you say noise at 800 in the car shot? It reminds me of the RED epic, that camera was noisy in the shadows. Maybe you need to overexpose it a bit to get clean shadows. Keep up the good work man. You know what you you doing!
Haha yup! The chroma noise reminds me of red RAW in general. But yes I would say exposing as far right as possible on any camera is going to give you cleaner exposures.
Being myself on both Canon & Sony the points being made are pretty valid. The auto E-ND is a total game changer, what a feature. Dual ISO is also clutch. And of course the DR which for your type of outdoor shooting really benefits from the extra stops. Your R5C footage was looking a little crunchy at times. I think you said you also had an FX30? I'm sure it makes a good B-cam. Hope you do a video on that one and maybe compare the IQ to FX6.
Agreed. The R5C footage could only be stretched so much. Could tell the Clog3 was just throwing out information in the lower end and just clipping them. But yeah, Sony loaned me an FX30 for a week. I requested it since I sold off all my gear and needed something last minute to film my road trip. Now after using it, I def could of jsut used my A7RV. But I feel weird using my work cameras for UA-cam videos. So I might just buy an FX3 now
@@cammackey A74 might be a good all-rounder for your youtube stuff, rolling shutter is not great, but the dynamic range is even better than the FX3 thanks to all the downsampling! Fx3 has the Lut preview function and cine EI though :/ I was watching a CVP video on the A74 vs FX3, and I was blown away that there is an entire extra stop and some change in the shadows of the A74 and that's what made me get it instead because I live for the DR lol
I'm looking forward to the documentary, I'll be happy to pay to watch it, great job
You can change the zoom rocker to Clear image zoom. So any prime can zoom 1.5x times without loss of quality for what i've seen in my footage.
Oh yes already on that. I took it out of the edit cause it was dragging on haha
it is good to hear when someone is honestly talking, i am torn apart between canon c70/r5c and this fellow fx6
Tough one! I have an FX3 and a C70. FX3 is way more versatile with its high ISO capabilities. But in most normal shooting situations I prefer the look of the image that comes off of the c70. The DGO sensor is special. That being said I find myself using the FX3 more and more and gravitating toward Sony more.
Yeah the footage that comes from the C70 is gorgeous, but in comparison to the FX3/FX6 full frame sensor.. you just get way more versatility and still a great image either way.
@@schumif1champ yeah, but I don't feel like playing to long with colors to get the same pleasant look as I get quickly from canon (I own c200), that is probably one of the reasons why canon asks so much for its cameras - too much!
I must agree with you about persons just picking up cameras because they just like the technology (which is fine) but it’s so important to be able to define the voices who speak about cameras to actually use them, and not the meta thing of buying cameras to talk about them. That’s entertainment and not information. I generally think I can tell who’s who and I enjoy content from both! But it’s really key to know lol
Yes I love content from both personally. But I just hate the culture of fan boys that comes with it. Like I what happened to focusing on the work? Just how film directors and DPs try out a bunch of different gear before settling on the set kit for a new film
Good stuff Cam. Definitely agree with 8:15 and I'd say a lot of the camera hate BS is coming from people who are not making a consistent living shooting. Pros are looking for what works the best for their job and intentions, period. Whatever provides the best workflow and is most efficient for the job is what is used. When you're too busy making art and/or money, you don't have time to argue semantics that do not matter on Facebook groups all day. This is the first camera gear video I've watched in a year and I'm a lot happier now since I got away from the endless gear discussion and battles. So much time wasted discussing minutia that simply didn't matter in the field. I bought every mirrorless/cine cam under the sun and ended up wanting to simplify things by going (Sony) mirrorless with a couple zooms and moving on with life unless a job requires otherwise. I love the 'texture' of the image with cameras like the Komodo, but Sony can do it all when you need it to and thats realistically good enough for me.
Yeah it’s all very bizarre to me. And now there’s this new narrative on how “pros don’t switch cameras” which is full of BS. Most of my photographer friends don’t switch bodies out all that often, but lenses they play with. But when it comes to video…… lol all of us are all over the place. Unless you own like a $20k plus red. The. That’s a damn commitment.
Thanks again :)
It's fun because it doesn't piss you off by limiting options. E-ND, touch to track focus, dual base iso, high dynamic range 👌
Well said 👏
Yes, do not attach the monitor to the hot-shoe … it has electronics in there / is very delicate - I know people that broke theirs
I use a magic arm connected to the top plate and the balance ends up better than if you attach it to the hot shoe anyway
Got any pics? I tried side mounting and hated it. My monitor has fell off twice from the hot shoe too. It’s very annoying haha. I’m sure there has to be a solution. I can’t do magic arms either cause I need something that’s super quick and nimble to adjust
@@cammackey adjust in which way? if you're just referring to tilt, I would do a combo of a magic arm + tilt mount.
@@cammackey I’ll send you a pic on Facebook or IG, I like the way I do it because you can get the balance and position of the monitor perfectly suited to how you’re shooting every time, I’ve memorized the different positions so it’s second nature / takes 7 seconds to adjust
I dig the OD green/yellow look with the camera skin- very Boba Fett
FYI what he says: Cinema movies are very bright - I can concur after working for over a decade on US cinema sets here in Canada. They bring in a ton of light and cut it - the reason being that they want saturation of color in shadows and no clipped data (ie shadows look amazing).
I was watching an EU made movie shot on an Alexa, probably with a lot of daylight, and it doesn't even come close to the US filmic look - although it looks good.
I second that. If you can’t get the footage you want out of modern film and phot gear, you aren’t trying hard enough. The quality and versatility of modern cameras are ridiculously good, whatever the brand. I gravitate toward Sony nowadays because of the ease of use, but I know I can get similar quality out of another brand.
you're a talented dude for sure, love your work! but your red komodo work hit the hardest for me🤠
the komdo is a special camera, just a little bit of overkill for majority of my clients. And not the most versatile camera for my upcoming projects. The Raptor would be rad but lots of slow down with that
Hey man, would you do a dynamic range comparison with noise reduction turned off/on? Gerald undone apparently said you get almost another stop when it's turned on apparently. Love you work and looking forward to more content!
Interesting. Yes it’s something I’m def going to do but idk if I’ll make a video on it. I’m a little swamped with time rn
@@cammackey yeah totally get that, you could even just mention it in a larger review if you think you'll have the time, no worries though!
@@Videosbyme278 def will. Maybe in a short too
Almost the perfect camera but the lack of audio on the body is crazy for what is Such a well thought out camera. Sony, please bring the “tracking on” function from the A7RV. It’s a game changer for video.
Yeah it’s wild they did that!! Like we’re gonna give you the perfect camera, but expect this one itty tiny little thing. I mean I’ll still take that over all the crippling canon does. And yes the Tracking on Toggle!!!!! I used that so much on the A7RV. Those running horses in the begging were with the RV and Sony 100-400. Used the viewfinder and used the Tracking on Toggle. Made life so easy haha
LOVED your video. We are wanting to get into the Sony Eco system and want to start with a great run and gun camera to start. We saw that you mentioned the FX30. Do you like it enough to recomend?
The FX30 body is great. It actually had a lot of dynamic range, gets a little noisy when stretching it but thats kind of normal for most cameras. The Canon C70 is the only camera ive used that can be cleanly stretched without being in RAW. But id honestly would just get the FX3 over the FX30. Way more versatility. If youre on a budget, id look into the A7SIII before the FX30 too.
@@cammackey thanks so muchh
You can use your zoom rockers with clear image zoom and regular lenses, it is super clean, no artifacts and quality is maintained.
Oh yeyyyy already on it!! It’s so clutch
@@cammackey I love it. I put a V mount battery at the back of my fx6 handle and it works like.a charm. Powering camera and monitor..
Great camera, it didn't really click with me, took it for a test drive for a couple days and was like 'Nah'. On paper, it's stunning. Went C70 in the end, plenty of things I don't like, but for all those moments, getting the footage into DaVinci I'm reminded I made the right decision! RF glass is cool, got plenty of EF to adapt, I feel like the extra stop of DR goes a long way, DGO is beast, screen is a more secure in the latest manufactures and the recent updates have been nice for codec flexibility 🫶
Did you ever shoot with clog1 in darker situations? I found with my Canon R5 when I use clog1 in dark situations I can go up to 12,800 with no noise. Clog3 is best for day where it handles highlights better. Just my experience.
In comparing the Canon R5 to my Sony A7SIII the image at 12,800 is better on the R5. This is even in Slog3.
I do really love how easy it is to bring down the highlights and push the gamma up to get the face detail back when shooting with window light coming through. The R5 doesn’t do good in that situation.
Clog 1 is better in low light because it’s chopping out a few stops of dynamic range in the shadows.. i would prefer to not do that haha. They’re straight up just cutting off the noise floor and stealing away multiple stops in the low end. Where on the Sony they keep all that info in there while also keeping the noise down. This is my issue with canon….
As an FX3 owner, I've really wanted to try out the FX6, but it really is overkill for my needs. Such a great tool though.
Also that little 16-35PZ is crazy underrated.
Yeah no need to spend money if ya don’t need it! I’ll Prbly end up picking up an FX3 as well. And yes that power zoom lens is amazing. Hoing Sony makes more soon
What monitor are you using on this rig? Great indepth real world review btw!
Portkeys!
Bro amazing video ! You’re a tryly artist! does this camera have PL mount support ? I am asking for a friend :))
I just ordered the wooden camera pl adapter and mount!
I see you run a portkeys monitor, not sure if you're aware , but the newer portkeys monitor LH5P II you can control focus and do touch af, so you could ditch the fx6 monitor.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh did not know this…
@08:55 damm that sky.
Which camera are you using to film yourself? It looks great!
Sony loaned me the FX30 to try out! Looks good but I think id prefer the FX3
This man Cam has bought every camera in existence at least once 😂😂
My bank account hurts. I feel like my career takes another notch up every six months. Legit 3 years ago I went from doing fashion photoshoots to now directing feature length documentaries 🥴🥴🥴🥴 everything in between that has required a different tool.
@@cammackey hey, you work hard though💯 you deserve every fruit of your labor PLUS whatever makes the labor easier💯 keep up the good work bro!
@@Stondiexd thank you man!! Glad you understand 🙏🏽🙏🏽
1:44 Yes and some people think it’s the other way around. So buying more expensive gear because they think that they’ll become better filmmakers and get more jobs even though their cameras already fulfill all their needs
Well...now you're comparing a cinema camera to the R5C hybrid cam. Dif you ever try the C70? I've heard wonderful things about the cam, sensor, ergonomics and new firmware upgrade.
Yes I owned it for a month. It was great. But I didn’t care for the ergonomics. And the screen was very fragile. And I rather have full frame so I can use a variety of lenses. And the FX6 just has more to offer, as I show in this video.
10:36 I’m not familiar with the functionality of the fx6. What did you mean by assigning a button to engage tracking? Does tapping the screen not automatically put it into focus tracking?
Yes it does, but the screen that comes with the camera isnt great for outdoors. So rather ditch it the screen and use an external monitor. Which would require to be able to engage tracking via a button
@@cammackey gotcha. Love your channel! +1 sub!
Also, portkeys LH5P II does what you’re asking if you have an external audio recorder
What aspect ratio is this? Great vid btw love your channel!
2:1! I use to use it a lot. For UA-cam I love it cause it kinda just gives it a little more of a cinema look
There's possible to get internal audio WITHOUT the handle. :)
Would like to upgrade to the FX6, but the type A CFE media is very restrictive in terms of GB/$.
I’ve been using V90 SD cards with zero issues :) and I’m shooting I the XF AVS ALL-I. I think 120fps is where you run into issues with the V90 cards but everything else is safe.
Trust me. I was worried about that too cause those cards are absurdly expensive.
Yooooo I love seeing you with the Sony man I’m over here cracking up I just bought one as well haha but I kept my canon and Fuji to make sure I love it next week you’re gonna have a Nikon 😂
Nah I’m super focused on this years projects. These are workhorse cameras as I’m sure you know! Def keeping my eye on Fuji tho. Hoping they give the X100V an update..
@@cammackey f*ck the haters just focus on the art your work has inspired me a lot over the years stay focused brother.
@@unknowncaller4739thank you man!! I’m seriously beyond excited for what I got planned for the next 3 months alone. This year is going to be wild and full of chasing down life long goals. Thank you for being apart of this community!!
I live in Missoula, MT. Were you up in the Flathead area? I subbed up btw.. great content!
I drove all the way up to Babb and back
@@cammackey ohh wow.. the edge of the planet :-) if you're in the are again and you need an assistant or b-cam shooter lemme know!
bro I love your hat, do you have a link where to buy?
It’s a custom by Apache Hat Co in AZ
The camera fanatics are driven by creators who's channels are focused on hardware reviews. I've followed your channel for a while, and it was one of the few where I felt you could actually USE the upgrades you were given. Most people, probably also including me, don't need more than a point and shoot or maybe an X100V for those family dinners.
they should sponsor you!
Is no one gonna mention that this man is casually recording in front some of best the natural views ever?
Gotta love Montana and Wyoming.
Oh oh…. Dangerous to watch this video… now I wanna have it 😅
Dude, how did you get it green so fast? (Edit) Oh, just reflected light.
Oh no. It’s green haha. Alibaba has skins hahaha
Also bro set the rockers up for clear image zoom you’ll thank make later. It’ll solve your problem!
Already on it ;) I cut it out of the edit cause I got bored myself watching it lol
@@cammackey copy!!!
Where was your mic placed @8:13?
Lol on my chest under a thick Pendleton flannel, which was under a Patagonia ultra light, which was under that denim Sherpa jacket. It was the only way I could block the wind 😂😂😂😂 I listened back on headphones and it sounded clear…. I WAS WRONG. Ordering better monitoring headphones now 😂
Lower sensitivity on the transmitter, mic under the flanel shirt, you should be fine. I did a shoot on a beach with 25mph winds clean. I love the Natives Culture and Arts . Keep it up.
Im a new shooter and shoot with a Nikon D3200 with a Nikkor vintage 24mm (36mm crop) and 1/8 black pro mist filter. Majority of my content if Lowriders and Harley culture in southern California and im not excited about an upgrade because i really love my style as of now. so its mos def, ITS NOT THE GEAR!
Canon takes the consumers feedback and dump it in the trash while Sony actually listens to its customer and make improvements. I remember people for years wanted a built-in ND filter, two years later, Sony came up with it, they wanted Dual ISO, done ... Sony is definitely more consumer focused vs. Canon who used put 10 Focus area points in 6D and tell people pay extra for 5D if you more focus points? Clearly after a decade, we see where Sony stands.
now it stands like 2 year old canon R5 has 100 % autofocus points coverage , recently launched Sony A7R4 has only 93 % coverage 😂
Btw where can I get your sunglasses 😅
My glasses are from Moscot and they’re a but expensive.. 🥸 they’re tinted prescriptions
@@cammackey looks really good on you 🫰🏻 thanks for your response
Do your thang brah. It's about pluses and minuses.
Damn bro, I want an FX6 now lol
ITS THE GOAT. Imma start using it for my UA-cam talking head setups too haha
I would really like to see a video on how you actually use the davinci color space transform and set that up with the s-Log 3🤘🏼 cameras are great but davinci is the secret sauce to life 😍
Coming up!
informative 11,5mins FX6 / R5C
(8:16) hehehe i used this song for a nc state wrestling intro video
Could have swore you said, "Next up we are going to taco bell." 5:37
hahahahah
Why are you sh!tt!ng on my camera? @1:10 Oh, okay. 🤣
Interesting to observe how someone praising Sony FX6 while in the past making fun of Sony cameras in other videos.
Better not to mount monitor to the hot shoe as it will get loose over time.
Tell me about it haha. At some point, my career took over my preferences. As I keep saying, since October when I got out on a project that open a flood gate to pursuing my dream projects.. my needs changed. I am so fueled up and never felt so dedicated. All the UA-cam BS and silly shit talking went out the door. As I’ve always said, any camera these days can get the job done. Even cropped Fuji cameras. But now I’m shifting to documentary’s and that requires a whole new set of tools.
Congrats, which project was it? I’ve used FX6 on a documentary in Asia, 35 days of filming all the time in harsh sun and then right into dark interiors. The ease of switching on this variable ND and then right into 12.800 does it for me, everything under finger tip easy to set it in seconds. Plugging lav mics to the cam plus shot gun. Just perfect for one man bands. And I also use it for TV shows a lot.
The down side is that some buttons get flimsy rather quick, but the form factor….
There are higlights on FX6? :)
Huh?
haha ive seen you before!
For whenever the mic shock mount breaks, Alister Chapman has much better designed, 3D printed replacements for sale. I wanna say they're around like $30 and are WAY more robust than the floppy Sony one.
I think ive heard of it, ill have to order one rn
Sony marketing Team, have fun 👉 00:25 😅
Haha hey that goes for any camera honestly. All of our needs are different. We all have different clients and goals. That’s why all of my videos are focused on my own experiences
@@cammackey No critics. Just helping them to find good content for their next campaign. Love your work. Keep it up. ✊
I am not exaggerating, but this video looked close to the cinematography of Slow West movie. If the sun was out, you would have completely matched that movies cinematography.
Thank you 😢😢😢 also, is it just me or can you notice a difference in dynamic range from my previous videos?? I was using the FX30 to film this video and the dynamic range is crazy. I was able to pull out a lot of detail from the shadows too, but it was pretty noisy. But I rather have that than with my canons where the shadows would just be clipped. I miss my Fuji XH2S already but think imma get a FX3 for these UA-cam videos
@@cammackey Yes, that XH 2S's dynamic range is amazing, it also has raw. The dynamic range is definitely better, I saw some videos on R5 especially where the shadows were totally gone. I think the BSI sensor is a reason for that. I wonder if you shot on prores or xavc codec internally. That noise reduction control tab on fx 6 is amazing, I just wish I had it on my a7Siii. What is your opinion on XH 2S's grading, I don't use Fuji, I am just curious to know your opinion.
@@kapilesh14so like with any raw, you push it all over the place. But with the Fuji, I def feel their look is a little more baked in. Like even when I did CST to Arri.. it still had this specific look. Not good or bad, just specific. Like maybe not as manipulative as other logs, but still super good.
If Peter McKinnon and Johnny Depp had a love baby
Lol
Whenever someone makes a video titled "Canon vs Sony or Nikon vs Fuji" you will get people from each side talking trash. Anything with the title "Brand vs Brand" will get the most views. Its like that with Android vs iPhone, Mac vs PC or DC vs Marvel. You been in the youtube game for awhile now so you should know it comes with the territory when making these types of comparison videos
And I will bring the end to all the bullshit. I want to be able to post helpful comparisons videos that help people decide what investment to make for their career without mindless bored hateful people leaving absurd comments about their brand loyalty. I am loyal to the stories I want capture and only that.
how dare you leave Canon!
Great video. I think the definition of an artist, hobbyist and a professional should be outlined a bit. I do not make the majority of my income from photography so by some professional's opinions, I am not a professional. I started as a hobbyist but because I am an artist. LOL. Now I have more knowledge and experience than some hobbyists and some professionals in my area but their incomes are solely photography but they aren't artists. OMG! LOLOL! Some do get board and listen to their clients and expand after becoming board OR photography changes them. At the end of the day, we are all consumers and all of us can be drawn to a product regardless of our starting points. The guy taking images of his kids, the "mom-tog" and the once "arrogant" artist (your word) that has new needs? Get after it! All of our needs change and IMO, it doesn't matter the starting place. Everyone is welcome to start their journey from whatever place and stop when they choose :).
Agreed. I think a lot of people get offended with my videos cause they cant relate to what im saying and think im being unrealistic... when obviously they should be like "oh this guys is talking about something that has nothing to do with me" lol. I dont get it. But yes, there's hobbyist, business people, part timers, full timers, creeps, and then there is gear people... hahah
@@cammackey My bad! I left out the creeps! 😂😂😂. They’re coming for us both! 😅😂🤣
so funny glad you accept you were arrogant before. Sony is a cinema leader. right behind arri and red. UFC, NFL, NHL are using ALL sony bodies. HDC for most sports but im seeing LOTS of sonys cinema line being used in the UFC live streams like weigh ins, press conferences. I even see a fx3 on a gimbal for the walkouts! Happy to be a sony boy!
6 months later : "I sold the FX6 for the new ...." 😆
Sheeeeet I hope the FX6II. But I honestly don’t see why people care.. I’m a working professional. Why am I not allowed to upgrade my cameras? Even if I was jsut a youtuber, who give af. I don’t put wedding rings on these cameras
@@cammackey damn chill out! don't take it too seriously 😅 I was joking, I also do the same..
@@jsleger3404 lol sorry. I’ve been getting bombarded with this ish so I can’t tell who’s a homie and who needs correction lol. I got too much big bro energy
"the artist defines whatever the f*ck this is" SAY IT LOUDER!
One of my missions this year.. KILL CAMERA CULTURE FAN BOY BS. The point behind cameras has been lost. We can talk gear, but only if we keep the understanding that they are just tools for capturing humanity and the existence we live in. So special thank you to you brother for walking that walk. Talking gear and educating people, but also sharing your self expression through your art. You not only help artist with their gear needs, but you are an artist yourself. A’HO! (Native word for Thank You)
