I’d like to post here for anyone like myself that bought the Titon base on this recommendation - the camera will ~absolutely~ not run for 8 hours powering the Atomos. I spent $400 on this because I thought it would keep me going all day and I just barely eked out Three hours leaving it idle on a table.
@@mr.croissant7960 for the price, I’ve been very satisfied with the FX Lion Nano as an alternative. Portability will vary depending on capacity, but it hasn’t let me down yet.
I was wondering how that would be possible. Even just internally recording, the power draw would have to be so low - I wonder what the run time is for internal recording
@that_teldine_guy you're right! I bought the titon base too thinking that I could run the portkeys lh5pii and the fx3 for 8-9 hours. Was shocked to see 3.5hrs when it was powering them both! :(
I was running the fx3 with a base kit and USB-C for about a year. I switched to the Kondor dummy battery because I noticed my USB port on camera getting a bit… flimsy. In hindsight I think having a USB cable sticking out if the camera without a lock or cage support is a big liability. If you accidentally knock the cable you could easily break the cable in the port, or worse break the port all together. Thanks for sharing your rig
I have literally bought this rig system for the Sony Fx3! This to me hands down, is the best system to use. I could find an alternative on youtube, with the XLR module still in tact. Thank you for the setup Armando! Happy new year to you too! 👍🏿
I run something similar to this for power delivery to my A7SIII on long shoots. I’m actually just using some 10,000mah Anker PD bricks. They keep the battery topped off through usb-c/PD. Works great actually. The only other thing I’d like to point out (which should be obvious) is that if you expire the Anton Bauer and the internal, you’re gonna have to swap the internal also when you swap the AB. A dead internal and fresh AB battery won’t get you anywhere. Great video Armando.

Thanks for this video. I bought an fx3, but as a beginner in this space I had no clue how to build-out a good setup which fit my needs. This minimalist setup is fantastic. I purchased all of the components (using as many affiliate links as possible) and just got it configured. I'm very pleased with everything. You're right, everything is well thought out. I also added a Sennheiser 416 for better audio. Can't wait to put it to use!
the ending was like disassembling weapons .. and i really love the idea of using usb cable for the battery.. kind scared if the method overheat the camera tho (since im not using fx3)
This is an awesome tech channel. Thank 😊you for posting this video. This is very helpful 🙂. Is there a camara 📷. That you would recommend. That is not 3 thousands 😑 dollars. Say like $500 - $700 dollars 💵. I have a smaller budget 😅. Since I'm a retired man..
Thank you for sharing and breaking down your FX3 setup. I appreciate the efficiency of this rig. Only thing I might try and get is a right angle HDMI. Love the battery setup and the trickle charge concept, very clever.
This was super cool but we just made a 5 inch tall camera 2ft 😩. Is there anyway yo have the screen right on top and still get audio? And if not is the A7siii still the way to go?
Question - I've always thought the power draw of the Ninja V to be around 15 - 20Wh per hour. The Anton Bauer battery is only 68Wh. How does it power both the Ninja V and the camera for 8-9 hours?
I am also going through lot of confusion.. and most youtubers dont show they charge monitor and camera at the same time(they dont usually turn it on).. In this case it will last for 8-9hrs by keeping everything off for 4-5 hrs..
agree! i quite feared with dummy battery since my friend fried his camera due a wrong input voltage! so up until now i zip ties my powerbank to my rig setup lol
That breakdown at the end was amazing! I still prefer shooting with rails and a shoulder mount (my favorite kind of hand-held) but man, this setup is making me rethink some things.
Fab setup, the extension of the handle in deed changes everything. And unlike other FX3 cages (e.g 8Sinn) this obvioulsy also works with third party lenses, e.g. Sigma.
I love the Anton Bauer battery, I like to rotate it so the USB plug is on the left side, and I can use a shorty USB C cable to plug into the camera, it also allows for a better grip on the battery with your hand to cradle.
I'm curious what you think about FX3 right now. I've been holding off to save up and I was going to go with the A7S3 before I discovered the FX3. I've been shooting on a 6600s for the last 3 years. I thought the A7S3 would be a good match with these since they have the same color science. But then now that I've saved up I'm like I wonder if I should wait for what's going to come out next. I'm assuming it's been so long surely Sony will come out with a replacement for the FX3 sooner than later like maybe even this March. And then there's the Lumix that comes in at a great price point but may have moire and focus issues compared to the Sonys. But I could get two of those Lumix s5iix for like the price of one FX3 almost. Surely somebody will come out with something to compete with Panasonic. The ZVE1 is in the same price bracket and new but seems more consumer driven. The open gate and 6K on the Lumix with all those format options and outstanding stabilization is so attractive.
I watched this video when it first came out, loved the set up and ordered the camera and accesories from Kondor-Blue,..Is December and I am still waiting on some of those accesories..
Armando, I’m sold. However, I have just one question: What if I want to incorporate a transmitter? Can you make a video of the FX-3 incorporating a transmitter for a church setting please? Adios!😊🙈
Is there a side handle that goes with this cage? Similar or close to the brown wooden handles that small rig makes. Or will those small rig side wooden handles fit on this cage? I always like to have a grip of some sort on the side. Thanks for your help.
Hey Armando, great video, but I think you might be confused with how the camera uses USB-C charging. The internal battery only gets charged when the camera is off. When the camera is on it's powering from the USB-C port and you should have a little plug icon next to the battery meter on the screen indicating this. This is even stated in the manual: "As long as the power is on, the battery pack will not be charged even if the camera is connected to the AC Adaptor, etc. Under certain conditions, power may be supplied from the battery pack supplementarily even if you are using the AC adaptor, etc." What I think is happening in your case is, since the USB-A port on the Bauer only provides 9V/3A output and the internal battery never drains.
@@propellavideo I just bough the base and yes, it does charge via a USB a to USB c cable.. Check your cable is correct, for some reason I believe some cables do not transmit power correctly (only data).
Hi Armando! Thanks a lot! Incredible useable setup. I will get It my self for sure. What lanc cable do you use with the handle in the rig? Can't see any lanc connection on my FX30.
Great video Armando, definitely Fx3 came to stay, I love mine. Atomos is a great monitor recorder but it doesn't have enough nits, in my gear I rather the blackmagic video assist 12G but I don’t know when I film internal 4.2.2 10 bits with my fx3 in XVAC HS 265h I can noticed better quality and deep tint slog 3 but obviously ProRes or BRAW is more manageable in post editing, really I can’t notice suppose great difference 16 bit output Raw but fortunately I have a great Macpro with Davinci and I like the internal codec of the Fx3, but man your rig is awesome looks like more expensive and the clients eyes it’s gonna be shine 🤩. Have a good one.
Excellent demonstration. There's a lot of attention to detail in this rig. The use of all the quick-release points makes it a lot more manageable than most rigs you see based around smaller cameras. I've heard that the mic holder is a bit large for most shotgun mics - have you found a solution for that issue? Thanks for this video!
Great video, awesome rig. Definitely going to create something like this in the future. There were some times where the a-roll was a bit dark and I couldn't clearly see parts you were pointing to.
Thanks for the info! I basically followed your entire setup, although the HDMI cable does not work for me. I get the “No input” message. I tried multiple cables.
Hey @Armando , I like you setup. Just few questions... If you use kondor blue top handle as u explained... To press record/stop button, how you can do this without cable? Is there some bluetooth option? I have that one but I always use the cable to connect top handle with sony FX3. Second question is a little bit out of topic: I have Kondor Blue Dummie NP-Fz100 to Dtap... Is it safe to plug in to SmallRig VB99 Dtap ? On VB99Dtap is mentioend 14.8v and 14a I think... It will not burn my cam? Thanks mate and keep rockin!
Looks great but can you place this set up with this battery underneath on a tripod???? I'm looking at fx30 but the battery is an issue with these type of cameras as you have to think about adding extras and wires.. That's why I'm kinda thinking of paying extra for the Canon c70 where bigger batteries can be added and rig wont get out of control...

Battery doesn't even charge when turned off via USB A to C... on the base plate. BIG oversight not having a type c port on the base plate.
