Sony Fx6 - TILTA Cinema Setup 

Yes, but we need a lanc function on the sidegrip an the ability to pull focus via the nucleus nano, that would be a really great thing! Regards

Oh yeah, the rods... If he'd at least let the rods carry the battery... why would anyone let the cameras built in battery mount carry all the extra weight of a vmount battery if you could have mounted it on the (in this configuration completely useless) rods? This isn't looking like a rig intended for real world use

@@adambernau8991 if you had watched the video properly you’d see that the V mount adapter is also screwed on to the top plates

​@@rorycowieson5924 you're right, thanks for pointing that out. I would agree that the adapter might be quite useful in a setup without rails. And while I would further agree that each component in this setup has its use case, the selection of components for this particular setup still strikes me as odd. Why add rails if you're not using them? Why replace a top handle wich has controls and audio inputs with another top handle wich has none of that? Most of the choices he made seem to focus on improving the overall look of the rig, not its functionality.

Damian, I agree to everything you write! I had a FS7 before I bought my FX6 and love how light and compact the new camera is. With this rig it's bigger than a FX9. For Sony UWP-D wireless audio sets you can buy an affordable mount to install the receiver (one or two channels) without cables on the MI shoe. The camera powers the receiver, no V-mount battery needed. Furthermore this rig doesn't allow to shoot from the shoulder. I need that from time to time. I bought a top plate, an extension arm for the side grip and a shoulder mount to which I attached the large plate of my Camgear tripod. If I want to use a slider I can take the FX6 off without tools within ten seconds. Thankfully the shoulder mount uses a Manfrotto compatible plate which also works on slider and gimbal.

Same thought, the top plate + v-mount-adapter is amazing, but replacing 2 awesome grips for 2 worse grips, I don't see the point, even if you're shooting vertical a lot, just seems odd...🤔

Use a Portkeys Monitor instead, it can control the Cam, can power a Nucleus Motor and you can rack focus with it! For that i use teh LH5L, it´s a cheap one but with build in Bluetooth and so on. :-) Regards

Yes you are right but I shoot a lot of slow-motion with this camera and I don't use audio so for me it makes sense.
