I’d like to post here for anyone like myself that bought the Titon base on this recommendation - the camera will ~absolutely~ not run for 8 hours powering the Atomos. I spent $400 on this because I thought it would keep me going all day and I just barely eked out Three hours leaving it idle on a table.

Thanks for this video. I bought an fx3, but as a beginner in this space I had no clue how to build-out a good setup which fit my needs. This minimalist setup is fantastic. I purchased all of the components (using as many affiliate links as possible) and just got it configured. I'm very pleased with everything. You're right, everything is well thought out. I also added a Sennheiser 416 for better audio. Can't wait to put it to use!

I run something similar to this for power delivery to my A7SIII on long shoots. I’m actually just using some 10,000mah Anker PD bricks. They keep the battery topped off through usb-c/PD. Works great actually. The only other thing I’d like to point out (which should be obvious) is that if you expire the Anton Bauer and the internal, you’re gonna have to swap the internal also when you swap the AB. A dead internal and fresh AB battery won’t get you anywhere. Great video Armando.

I was running the fx3 with a base kit and USB-C for about a year. I switched to the Kondor dummy battery because I noticed my USB port on camera getting a bit… flimsy. In hindsight I think having a USB cable sticking out if the camera without a lock or cage support is a big liability. If you accidentally knock the cable you could easily break the cable in the port, or worse break the port all together. Thanks for sharing your rig

Great video Armando, definitely Fx3 came to stay, I love mine. Atomos is a great monitor recorder but it doesn't have enough nits, in my gear I rather the blackmagic video assist 12G but I don’t know when I film internal 4.2.2 10 bits with my fx3 in XVAC HS 265h I can noticed better quality and deep tint slog 3 but obviously ProRes or BRAW is more manageable in post editing, really I can’t notice suppose great difference 16 bit output Raw but fortunately I have a great Macpro with Davinci and I like the internal codec of the Fx3, but man your rig is awesome looks like more expensive and the clients eyes it’s gonna be shine 🤩.

Hey @Armando , I like you setup. Just few questions... If you use kondor blue top handle as u explained... To press record/stop button, how you can do this without cable? Is there some bluetooth option? I have that one but I always use the cable to connect top handle with sony FX3. Second question is a little bit out of topic: I have Kondor Blue Dummie NP-Fz100 to Dtap... Is it safe to plug in to SmallRig VB99 Dtap ? On VB99Dtap is mentioend 14.8v and 14a I think... It will not burn my cam? Thanks mate and keep rockin!

Thanks, Armando! This video is super helpful. I recently followed your guidance and picked up the battery baseplate and Kondor Blue cables for my new FX3 & Ninja V rig. One quick question for you, though: I was having issues with the hdmi feed cutting out when the camera was set to RAW or 4K60p 10-bit. I'm seeing other info online that the Kondor Blue hdmi can't actually handle that much bandwidth. I noticed in your C70 vs FX3 video when you're talking about RAW, you're still using the Kondor Blue cable. Is there a setting tweak I'm missing here, or do those high-bandwidth outputs require a beefier hdmi 2.1 cable?

I'm curious what you think about FX3 right now. I've been holding off to save up and I was going to go with the A7S3 before I discovered the FX3. I've been shooting on a 6600s for the last 3 years. I thought the A7S3 would be a good match with these since they have the same color science. But then now that I've saved up I'm like I wonder if I should wait for what's going to come out next. I'm assuming it's been so long surely Sony will come out with a replacement for the FX3 sooner than later like maybe even this March. And then there's the Lumix that comes in at a great price point but may have moire and focus issues compared to the Sonys. But I could get two of those Lumix s5iix for like the price of one FX3 almost. Surely somebody will come out with something to compete with Panasonic. The ZVE1 is in the same price bracket and new but seems more consumer driven. The open gate and 6K on the Lumix with all those format options and outstanding stabilization is so attractive.

Looks great but can you place this set up with this battery underneath on a tripod???? I'm looking at fx30 but the battery is an issue with these type of cameras as you have to think about adding extras and wires.. That's why I'm kinda thinking of paying extra for the Canon c70 where bigger batteries can be added and rig wont get out of control...
