If I accidentally turn on the phantom power switch on this mic and turn on phantom power of the Panasonic xlr on camera adapter will it ruin the mke 600mic ?
I researched lots of good things about it and ordered one and arrived today, upon unboxing, while I pull out the magnet at the back of microphone, the metal plate sticked to the microphone been pulled out as well. I think this is a design flaw as I'd observed that the metal plate behind the microphone doesn't have anything to lock it in place but just some kind of hot glue. I lost confident right away because I don't know when will the glue fail again. The strong magnet power will eventually pull out the metal plate again. I'd returned it to Amazon. I like the sound quality but I don't want to take the risk of loosing it.
Hi i never noticed that much jitter in any other review, could it be a faulty motor or chain maybe? great video anyway, i was looking for a slider to make some product videos and after this video i guess i'll keep loking a little bit more
Great review and helpful comments Tom, really appreciate the video. So I'm a novice, very infrequent nature/wildlife photographer that is interested in purchasing a budget portable slider that could work well in FL parks or shooting sunset timelapses, honestly just using my GoPro Hero 12 at this point. Content would be for social media only. Would you recommend this slider or another one based on my use scenarios? Smooth slide travel, portability and easy to use controls are my top priorities. Thanks again!
I think you’ll love this for your specific needs. It’s great all around slider but for vfx or macro video, it wasn’t for me. Thanks for the kind words, cheers!
Heya awesome video. Im now using ulanzi claw but there are some play when mounting it with sigma 60-600mm and camera . Would there be any play with pgy tech one?ready for change.
I'm a beginner and when I plug a 3.5 cable from it to my camera I get this fluttering noise on the recording and don't know what's causing it. I tried two 3.5 cables but they were cables off of old shotgun mics. Don't know if that's the problem or not.
Sir, I am facing the same problem after updating my Sony lens, it is working as well as the other lenses, can you tell me the solution to this problem?
I stumbled into this video WHILE I was updating from 3:01 to 3:02 a few hours ago. I've tested the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, internal mic, and filmed for over an hour non-stop in 4K 25fps 10bit. I haven't discovered any issues with my Sony A7s III so far.
I was really upset about this incident, I also updated my a7rv camera and the next day Sony removed the new update from the site, after the update I have no problem, but because I work with the camera, I am worried that there might be a problem with the camera. I will not choose Sony for my next camera.
*I went from 2.11 for a year where i had to turn off and on many times to get it into record mode, to the next update up and now it won't let me do a fast on and off to get rid of a camera error, seems to be bricked*
Mine broke a year ago although i got it off ebay for 3k but hardware wise, it was top notch condition and worked, about a month later it didn't connect to imaging app and no wifi ssid data in the root folder (where the a7iii did have) they said it didn't mean anything when i emailed them, not in those exact words, and then later the stabilisation would not be on at first and wouldn't go into record mode so you have to turn it on and off many times, still have that problem. It wouldn't let me refresh version 2.11 so i'm trying now to do it. Stabilisation seems as shaky as the old camera because of some software issue and i hadn't updated at all since buying so i dont know why it happened. EDIT: updated now it's not even letting me do the quick on off trick to bypass the camera error message.
DO NOT INSTALL 3.02 ...IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLING 3.02, THE A7IV COULD NO LONGER CONNECT TO MY MACBOOK. Sony said...we'll take care of it. Send it to Precision Camera. NOW, Precision Camera is trying to charge me over $600 ..."usb issue on main pcb...BULL-LONEY. The camera literally worked perfectly up until the day I installed 3.02. (Also: did it in camera with Creator's App. It was a mistake using Creator's App)...3.02 broke the camera's ability to access mass storage. BTW The camera is 16 months old. This "quality and customer service" I can do without.

Sony now has basically told me there is no way to prove a firmware update broke my camera and told me to basically go pound sand. 😢 very disappointed with Sony. In other news, put in my order for a c400 and c80. Over 15k of my hard earned money is going canon. Was waiting for the fx3 and fx6 to come out but after this, won’t be giving Sony anymore of my money.
@@Fotografie85 Sorry to hear about your a1 :( While I could live with taking out the card(s) whenever I needed to look at the images I do not want to have to settle for less than what I paid for...a fully functioning camera. I also have concerns about not fixing it. I am not sure if the camera will connect if I need to do a lens update (which is done through the camera) I suppose if that happens I could go to a Sony retailer/repair and see if they would do it...BTW: while casually looking at other Sony cameras I notices Sony's ad to get an extra year of warranty if I registered a new camera with Sony. I registered my 24-70 GMII, but apparently Sony did not have the offer for the camera in April 2023. However, it made me think about the credit card extended warranty benefit( Double the original 12)...looked into it. Filed a claim. They will advise the status of the claim on Friday (end of this week). tbd
@@jnystrom1237 The firmware 3.0 for the a1 will be released in October and I hope that the problems have disappeared. The A7SIII also gets the shutter angle in October.
I am also having problems with my A7Siii. It will randomly get stuck in recording mode and then locks out all functions. If I try to turn the camera off then on again it goes to a black screen, but still shows some of my settings. Recording, menu, etc.. will not work. The only way to fix is to remove the battery. This is frustrating as I use my camera in an underwater housing while diving, so when it locks up, I can no longer record until the dive is over. I cannot even seem to contact Sony as they are very difficult to contact via support. I keep getting an error when trying to create a ticket. Do you have a phone number or email for Sony camera support? I am running firmware version 3.02. The locking up was happening with version 2.11 as well.... So frustrating.
I also had this after buying the new a1 with firmware 1.32 I recommend waiting to see whether new firmware from Sony works better. Probably September 12th... And October firmware.
I appreciate the comparison of unprocessed xlr against unprocessed 3.5mm jack! Thank you! Those audio presets are really intense though... I honestly liked the unprocessed audio better in my opinion.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback on the presets. usually folks like them and ask me to upload them lol. If you are thinking about buying this mic, it's been wonderful!
Hello, I’m experiencing the same issue as you. Do you know, please, if the Sony XLR-K3M Kit module works despite the audio problem? I have an important event coming up. Thank you in advance, and I hope everything will work out for you.
My Peak Design high end model works with , Peak Design, Arca Swiss, Manfrotto RC2, and it has a Peak Design locking tab holes for camera strap attachment , Peak Design makes a two different models of these. The cheaper version does not.
To be fair, when you were talking about the Manfrotto RC2 (200PL) quick release system you were showing a Sunpak quick release system. The Manfrotto plates work well for what they are and if you stay within that system.
I made the switch to Canon, tired of Sony doing this. Even the Sony flash I have over heats after 20 to 25 shots. Happy with my Canon R6 and the Flashpoint flash.
If this doesn't get resolved, I think I'll be getting the C400 and saying goodbye to Sony. It's sad because I was planning on getting the FX6 ii to pair with the a7S3.
@@TomWadeCine Yeah...on my a7iv, I saved the presets and reset to factory ...did not fix the usb connection issue. Also, the Sony Pro service tech said that custom button settings would not cause this error mode... There are a couple of set up settings that could prevent the usb connection, but mine were configured correctly. I have the check list and will confirm when I get my camera back...About that🙄 after all of my foot stomping, Sony discounted the original $750 down to $525. Still a LOT to pay for a problem I did not cause on a 16 month old camera. I forgot that I bought the camera with a credit card that had a 2x the original (12 month) warranty benefit (up to 3 years of extended warranty). I never used an extended warranty before, and never actually had a problem with a Sony product before. The card honored the claim so I agreed to have the main pcb replaced. Precision Camera will return it to original specifications and update the firmware to 3.02 They also agreed to test the usb to camera drive connection after the update to 3.02. I am cautiously optimistic. Last, the 3.02 update was released on July 30 2024. I hardly ever use Creator's App and by bad luck, on August 10, 2024 I decided to review Creator's app to use it as a remote camera trigger for astrophotography. That is when I learned about the less than 2 week old update. (Creators App asked if I wanted to update the firmware) My takeaway is that unless an update actually fixes a problem I have experienced I will not install the update. Even if it does address an issue, I will not apply it until time has passed and I research the heck out of it.
Tyvm for the video. I was about to update my Firmware but I make sure to do some research. Glad I fou s your video. I am very new to knowin' how to even use the Sony Aiv I have and I bought a second lol. I am gettin' put of the professional earin' thang and into Outdoors. Appreciate it and I will check your Food channel out. Sorry you are havin'all these issues. Hope they get it fixed soon
Sounds like someone didn’t read the directions when updating because I know it was confusing for me but if you skipped 2.15 before skipping to 3.0 this is probably what happens. I think you need to send it to the manufacturer.
