What an amazing video. After watching many of these yours was by far the best and most easily understood. Having the chapter markers is awesome and your pacing is perfect and easy to follow along.
-
You have saved my butt with this video. I was able to set up a fx3 and fx30 with ZERO previous experience. Thank you for helping out us idiots that bought a camera we were not suppose to own.
-
11K views and only 80 likes so far? This is the best FX3 tutorial I have seen, yet! I ordered mine on April 28, received it almost 20 days later, am a beginner videographer/photographer, and have been watching videos every day on this camera since early April. There are some good videos out there, but this one is so direct, thorough, and practical. I felt like I bought way too much camera for my skill level, at first, but now I’m stoked to dive in deeper and build up with the FX3. Thanks!
-
Man, can't thank you enough for people that put out these kinds of videos! They help a lot when you're going into a shoot/helping out a friend and have never used a particular camera beforehand. I appreciate these in-depth literally step-by-step videos that just give me a lay of the land. Keep it up! Excellent execution, clear and concise explanations.
-
This is the best tutorial on how to use this camera. Better than reading the manual. Real time-saver. Thank you so much. ❤
-
OMG thank you so much!!! Mine gets here next week and I was so scared I wouldn't understand how to use it. You saved my life!!! 💕💕💕
-
I've just got the FX30. This guide is encyclopedic, and has helped me to get started. Thanks for the huge amount of effort and research that you must have put into this. I've bookmarked it, and will no doubt return to it time and again in the future. Appreciated, thanks again.
-
I don't have an FX3 (although I would love to), but OMG... I learned so much about my sony camera from this video!
-
This tutorial is superb. Thank you for not only providing so much invaluable information, but for quickly removing my reluctance to start using this unfamiliar, tiny beast!
-
This feels like an official Sony training video. Very well done. 🙌🏾👍🏾
-
I know I already posted. But I just finished this video AGAIN!!! thank you I might have to take you up on the 1:1 consults. Can you DM me info on that. This is by far the best video I have found on YouTube. everything else was so complex, but for a new like myself. this saved my a$$. Not all heroes wear capes man. Thank you
-
Just got mine yesterday i absolutely love this camera and because of this video i was able to quickly learn the ins and outs of the camera and begin shooting the first day thank you so much man you got yourself a new subscriber great video
-
Thank you so much!! just switched from canon to sony, I had no idea how to approach this animal. you made it so clear and accessible with the best vibes out there .
-
Awesome. You helped me out a ton.
-
I'm a beginner and mine is being delivered in 2 days. I couldn't pass up the low light capabilities as I know most of my work will be done in low light. Thanks for doing this video, it helped me seal my decision too.
-
Love your content bro! I would take a trip to you just to get some bts! 🔥 my takeaway is I would like to avoid hs so I don’t have to mess with green tint. S is the way to go. Thank you for this one!
-
Thank you I was pretty much looking for a video for the fx 3/30 for dummies , and after scrolling for awhile , happy I found this !!! It’s my go to manual ! Thanks
-
thank you for this video. I will be buying the FX3 tomorrow I am new to cinema camera. I’ve never really used the camera but the way you explain everything makes it easy to understand this camera.
-
Thank you very much for all this work. I’ve been using an A7SIII for all my work the last three years. Switched to an FX3 today. Quickly discovered I needed a primer on the FX3. After watching your guide I feel a whole lot better. And I can see how this is a much better camera for video work!
-
OMG... $3899!!!! i'll stick with my 6400... thanks to you it was you that made my buy my first APSC onwards... my first one was NEX...
