Sony ILME FX/6 Enters TOP production line up.
Take One Productions is excited to announce the addition of the Sony FX/6 to its production line up.
Look at that view…that plane is cool too.
This little hot rod cinema camera packs a lot of production power into its small chassis. Here are the specs, if that’s your thing:
- 4K Full-Frame 10.2MP CMOS Exmor R Sensor
- DCI 4K60p | UHD 4K120 | 1080p240
- That’s 60 frames per second at 4096 x 2160
- 120 frames per second at 3840 x 2160
- And an absurd 240 frames a second in High Definition 1920 x1080
- 15 Stops of Dynamic Range in S-log 3 EI
- A fine looking WYSIWYG Rec 709 shooting mode Sony calls S-Cinetone
- The robust 4:2:2 XAVC-I recording compression scheme
All the required specs for creating today’s cinema style content.
The camera is so small we had to trick it out with Zacuto and Tilta accessories to do shoots like this.
The camera weighs in at just over 2 pounds by its lonesome. However, we rigged it up with all the “Tokyo Drift” goodies from Zacuto® and Tilta®, so we can actually mount the camera on a tripod or our shoulder.
The camera has 2 native ISO settings 800 and 12600 and makes better images than the human eye in low light (It’s kind of amazing actually). The FX/6 has full size XLR audio inputs a BNC SDI output an SDI input for time-code so it can be used as an integral part of a multi-camera production. It is a pro’s cinema camera.
We plan to partner the FX/6 with our Panasonic Varicam LT to provide maximum production flexibility. The smaller size will allow our shooters a degree of mobility and the ability to take a cinema camera into tighter quarters which will be helpful for shooting tasty b-roll with that full frame Exmor sensor, keeping the look of the production consistently high end.
One simply cannot put a box on your shoulder and shoot, luckily Zacuto created a great recoil shoulder rig.
We used the FX/6 to cover the Great Pocono Raceway Airshow recently and all parties were pleased with the camera’s performance.
Until the next time, be excellent to each other.
