I have an fx6 with a ninja v, tilta v mount adapter, rode ntg5 and rode wireless gos. I normally carry the signs 24-70 2.8 art as well for the unknown. For the known, My grandfather gave me a vintage Nikkor 50 1.2 that I’ve been obsessed with. Still love my first and second gen Helios tho. 😜 I recently scored a kiron (minolta) 28mm f2 and that thing is amazing and funky flare fresh.

Best advice I've heard so far Mark, " Don't get caught up on your cameras, get caught up in making films" there's so much truth behind this because I can't begin to tell you how many filmmakers think that the Best most expensive cameras will make you the best of the best but they are so wrong!!!! Less is more and more is less!!

Love your content Mark! I was a tv news photojournalist for 8 years, got out of the news world and became a corporate videographer/ editor. I find myself all the time wanting to get into documentary filmmaking. It sounds like the perfect mixture of both. This doc series will especially remind me of all the hurricane coverage days down here in Florida!

My normal documentary setup is (two) C300mk2's with LCD's, a Sigma Art 18-35 F1.8, a Canon 70-200 F2.8, Sanken CS-3e shotgun mic, Sennheiser lav and a Sachtler Ace tripod. I've filmed many docs in the remote Northern Alberta wilderness with that setup and it has never failed me. It's really all you need. The built in ND and great battery life on the MkII is amazing for documentary work. Even though it's getting old, there are _still_ not many other cameras I'd trust in the wild over it.

@jaglancy 2 года назад

Great review - we run almost exactly this set-up, except we use the Sennheiser 8060 (slightly shorter), the Sony URX P30D (as it's dual channel receiver). Also I usually use Sony G Master lenses or cine primes (Angenieux / CZ - depending on the documentary). I swapped out the Sony Fx6 LCD display attachment for the FX6 bracket, but also use a Ninja V. We've shot with it in -25 degrees celcius & +40degrees, it runs fine!

The Sennheiser AVX wireless system is one of the greatest documentary purchases I've ever made. When I see that signature shock of light blue on fellow filmmaker's camera, I know they have their wireless act together. It's such a beautiful piece of gear. Mine have been delivering reliable audio since 2014 (though I did have to replace one of the lav mics recently). The storm footage you have in this video looks awesome. Not sure I would stand atop an SUV in a lighting storm though ....

@Nich7733 Год назад

curious why you'd use a front element VND as opposed to the fx6 internal. In my experience with the non mist 2-5 VND with that exact same sigma 24-70, it produced some extreme blueing and vignetting at 24mm and 5 stops of ND. Created a big head ache when editing the first doc piece I shot with the set up. Love the thought and intentionality so I'm sure there is a reason behind this! Cheers, Nic

@PelicanNorth 2 года назад

AOD member here, and Sioux Falls is my hometown too. I know the Sennheiser wireless is better than a Rode or DJI wireless, but the benefit of those systems is the on-board recording of all the audio, all of the time, even if the camera is not recording. Plus, it's a backup track. I use a Rode Wireless Go II with a Sanken COS 11D lav and it works for me. If the camera isn't recording and you get a golden comment, just cover with b-roll. Thoughts?

@juriverstappen Год назад

Hi Mark, great video! Thanks for sharing. I see that you got rid of the small screen that comes with the FX6, so does this mean that you control the camera and acces the camera menu via the Cine 7? If so, can you clarify the exact model that you are using and how this actually is connected? The link in the description leads to the SmallHD homepage. If I look up the Cine 7 there it says it only has the ability to control the Sony VENICE, but the FX6 us not listed. Looking for a monitor to replace the little Sony screen is high on my list, so I hope you can help. Thanks and love your work!

The FX6 is truly an amazing doc camera. The C300/C70 are great alternatives but industry is so Sony heavy I would stick with Sony. While I love the look of the Ursa and for DPing with small crews its the bollocks (Komodo rivals ofc) and you can shoot docs with it, I just wouldn't recommend it. AF is super handy but more so the low light and weather sealing is the true winner.
