hello@tenfoldproduction.com
Great video! Thanks for the feature, and we're glad you are enjoying the baseplate 🍊
Appreciate the support!
I love that you guys still used the fx3 very demure
Thank you, it's a very mindful camera.
Man, your channel has taught me a lot! Salute to you and the crew!
Really appreciate the break down! Preciate your willingness to share not only your rig, but essentially your years of experience into the "why" for each component. I'm sure this video will help creators' quality of life on set and save them from future mishaps and raised stress levels XD
Thanks Noel! That was definitely the goal, appreciate you watching this.
Would love to know what else you want to see from us in the future.
Love the set up and tips. Always look forward to watching your videos!
@@MasonHoracek appreciate you Mason! Thanks for supporting
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing! Keen to see your gimbal rig setup with cine lens
Coming up soon!
Would you recommend Dzo 21 mm or 25mm for wide ?
@@orbitmotion9872 that's personal preference and depends on the situation (and if you have enough space).
GREAT INFO...SPECIFIC...TO THE POINT...great rig! Ya got my subscribe.
This was therapeutic 😌
Thanks! We'll have tons more coming soon
Ok
Love the build but $800 for that Bright Tangerine 15 mm quick release is absolutely insane.
What a rig. I'm salivating.
Love this - super well thought out aand cost conscious. Thanks guys
Appreciate it!
Super informative, thank you so much for making this! I've been wanting to learn more "industry standard" camera building techniques and this was amazing!
Thanks for watching! We appreciate you
This rig setup is the absolute best!
Such a tidy looking rig. Love how easy it is to re-configure your camera package depending on what you’re filming.
Thanks for showing the Shape V-Mount D-Tap plate!
@@HighlyAkicktive appreciate you watching
I generally am not a fan of these cine builds with a smaller camera. If it want a small cam I would use the fx3 and if I need something build out I would prefer an fx6. BUT this is one of the best fx3 builds I have seen. I would totally run this!
Appreciate you! We feel the same, there are things we like better on an FX3 that we prefer over the FX6 ( which we recently sold).
FX6 can be a bit cumbersome if you need some quick specialty shots. The FX3 is great for us because you can always build it up or break it down easier. Smaller profile for gimbal work which doesn't require us to get into the Ronin 2 world.
At the end of the day, it's a solid tool for us and we're a fan of the safety and simplicity (for us atleast haha).
@@TenfoldProductionYes, I think you are spot on about the flexibility. I think I may just use this as a guide for an fx3 build in the near future!!
Merci broh 👍👏🤝🏽🇭🇹
I would highly recommend Falcam F50/38 baseplate which is compatible with manfrotto, arca swiss, F50 and F38. Also F50 for manfrotto is a time saver with solid clamp power and not many talk about it on youtube.
Thanks for the reccos! Definitely going to check it out$
Amazing setup brother
Thanks, very cool!!!
are you using the holly land mars 4k or the hollyland cosmo c1 cause the mars 4k transmitter doesnt have sdi out it only has sdi out
You should get the Metabones EF-E with E-ND when its available, would be a mini FX6
What dovetail and length did you use for the horseshoe on your cart? It’d be nice to do away with a tripod head on there
When shooting commercials, Do you guys Shoot in Raw or just normal 10 Bit XAVC-I?
10 bit is fine for more situations. Barely ever shoot raw
Where can one get that custom Hollyland attachment?
Why use the transmitter and the Mars M1? isnt there a transmitter built into the monitor?
Wondering the same thing
Personally I prefer to keep a sony battery in the camera body and then power the camera with a usb cable
As well as power the monitor and Tx with a DC while leaving a npf-570 plugged in
This way you can hot swap the v-mount without having the power cycle three different devices
Sony alpha bodies (FX3 is essentially an A7S3) are prone to having short term memory and forgetting settings when the battery is pulled so i try to avoid it when possible
It also takes a second for the hollyland to reestablish a link
Its also good in general to keep a battery in the camera as there is a small internal watch battery that remembers the time, if left unpowered for a long period of time it can wear out and it's a pain to replace
agreed , and D tap ?? the riskiest plug in the universe , avoid at all costs .
How does your mars 4k have a sdi loop out? Mine doesn’t and I hate that it doesn’t haha
I was wondering why you have 2 Transmitters on the Camera? the M1 Mars can also Send a video Signal (TX), why do you have the 2nd one on there?
Maybe they need up to 8 Mobiles connected? Or up to 4 Rx
But yeah the Tx seems redundant here
Wondering aswell!
@@jonagoldd @supercon57 my only idea was maybe if they dont have space for the monitor they use the TX, like in tight spacing. But yea still wondering
Same question here. Any issues with using this monitor for tx and monitoring? I thought this is was the use case…
whats the thing called again on the top handle for the cable management?
Great setup. Do you use timecode for audio synchronization on set? If so, how do you jam sync the cameras?
Always worried to put that much weight supported by only two screws holding a top handle. I much prefer using a cage that surround the camera to even out the stress and prevent the threads to just pop out when using an easyrig for exemple.
I would love to know your best setup Ronin 🙌🏽
Thanks for your vidéos
Coming soon!
Isn’t this monitor also a transmitter/receiver??? Why use another transmitter in the rig??
I'm thinking of using the Hollyland mars m1 connected directly to the SDI port of my FX6 with a sdi 12g cable. Do you know if I should be careful because of the problems that red, arri, etc… have when turning on/off the the camera with the cable already connected?
@@franciscomaia3563 you should be good! Just follow solid sdi protocol regardless of systems and products! We haven't had any issues
How do you power the Nucleus M on the gimbal? Are you always using ring grip with v-mount?
@@Apatura123 we have a gimbal video coming out shortly with all the details
@@TenfoldProduction Awesome! Will be interesting to see
Its like a cooking channel 🙂
@@svecphoto_com hahah yup
Can you share any details on the custom attachment for the hollyland
Its a piece of aluminum with holes drilled in it. We will make a deticated video for all the little custom pieces of gear that we have made over the years.
What’s the custom bracket you had on the back of the hollyland transmitter? I know the one it comes with only has one mounting point
Really like the added v lock mod, really cleans up the build
How do you like that Proaim cart?? Do you trust it when building expensive camera rigs (like your Venice) with expensive glass?
I ask bc the Inovativ carts are so damn expensive and I’ve heard Proaim has QC issues with a lot of their products.
@@StringerBell2002 big fan of them! We own two. We put expensive stuff on it all the time, Venice + nice lenses etc. It's all extremely sturdy.
Is there a V-Mount plate that has power distribution that mounts to 15mm rods AND/OR can be mounted onto another V-Mount plate - Like a camera that has a V-Mount on it?
Basically, my one camera setup is a mirrorless, and to use that, Id need 15mm rods. The other camera has a V-Mount at the back, but not enough power ports. So, Id like to sandwich this in between the camera and the V-Mount battery to have more power ports.
Which other camera's do y'all own?
What SD cards are you using for your Sony FX3?
Hey thanks so much for showing the build you guys use! I recently got the Hollyland Mars 4K for my FX3 but, despite all of my HDMI cables being sufficient for monitors and wireless systems in the past, anytime I plug in straight to the body and not loop through monitor, the transmitter says no video. Is the HDMI you suggested the only one that works when going straight out from the camera? I'm hoping my cables are just incompatible
bro the hollyland mars 4k transmitter does not have a sdi out it only has sdi in and hdmi in .i think he is using a hollyland cosmo c1 with the bullet type antenas
Also, a while back you did a video on converting your Nikkor AIS lenses. Do you still use them? Im currently deciding if I should invest in some a set of Nikkor lenses, or save a bit more cash and invent in something like the DZO Vespids
We use the Nikkors all the time! They're one of our favourite sets. It depends on the aesthetic you're going for
@@TenfoldProduction Awesome! Good to know :)
This is awesome, will defiantly implement some of these :) One question, is there ever any risk of frying your camera if you power both the monitor and camera with the same power source? I've heard people mentioned it, but maybe only specific camera do this
I've read alot about this as well but seems like it works flawlessly for some people while others have had issues. I err on the side of caution so I power via a separate NPF battery for the monitor but Ideally I would like to do what they've done here from a splitter. Another possible solution would be to have a sharkfin plate so there'd be 2 v-mount batteries with 1 dedicated to the monitor but that might be a little excessive/heavy.
@@derfla100 Thanks! Yes i do the same at the moment, i power the monitor with a NPF. I also read if you power everything on in a certain sequence it will be fine. But like you said, best not to risk it! Good though with the sharkfin, i'll keep it in mind
Awesome! Are you guys still using the komodo at all?
Barely ever to be honest. (2x) FX3 + Venice
wonder how much of this rig I can transfer to my sony a7iv? It was bought for my work studio by my department...no one consulted me...work with what i got....minimal 5k budget for tech per fiscal year. stretch every penny.
No one's talked about the Matty shirt... nice matty shirt lol
What’s with the audio this time? Noise reduction gone wild?
Small Rig Cages FLEX like no other when using bigger lenses and small rig accesories provide no clearance for focus motors, Tilta cage for FX3 far superior
Therapy
Thanks Walter
desser is needed on your audio brother, S sound just pierces our brain
Not a fan. I appreciate how others like these mirrorless frankenrigs but I just don''t get it. You can say all day that we got this because the FX6 was too big. But when broken down to just body alone it weighs 2lbs lmao. Its very small actually. You can fly it on a little Ronin-S EASY. When I hear people say, we like the fact that we can break it down into a smaller package, I also don't understand. Be honest, how often are you truly actually breaking down this FX3 to just the camera alone on location. I'd venture to say probably never, maybe once or twice. You guys MOSTLY use this setup as a full rig, or else why even spend all the extra time, energy, and cash building it out in the first place? An FS5/FX6, body alone, can EASILY fly on a gimbal and still get specialty shots and to top it all off you keep the internal VNDs and XLR audio. FX3 is WAY to expensive for what it is imo. Easy to get caught up in this intrinsic desire to have the latest camera bodies when in fact if I showed you footage from an FS5/FS7 and an FX3 you couldn't even tell the difference anyway letter off some client who could care less. If you can't produce high quality work with an FS5, an FX3 isn't going to magically produce a better product.
Drink: every time he says "System" 🍻
That's a dangerous game haha
✌...
Awesome video but I could hear just ridiculous amount of echo. Maybe something to look out for! Could have been phase issue if you were on shotgun
@@Shalin.S.Shah. thanks for the heads-up! Will switch to a lav mic next time
@@TenfoldProduction thank you sir. May I add, how inspired I am lookimg at your build! I am sure this came after lot of blood and sweat!
@@Shalin.S.Shah. it did haha! Always apart of the fun
Is there a specific reason you are choosing for the FX3 vs the FX6? I own both, so I'm very curious. :)
best example of worst way to spend your money when a sony Z200 is the most compact camcorder in every way, No mambo jambo, camera ready for job.
lol. 🤣👉🏽🤡
Just buy an FX6 and get more than half this shit and much better image quality and actual real AVC Intra codec. Never understood the polishing a turd builds.
@@blackout1111 sold our fx6 already :) didn't need it
