Our core cinema kit

A Sony FX6 cinema camera with a lens, handle, and monitor

Main camera

Sony FX6

The Sony FX6 is the king of low-light situations. With a dual-base ISO of 800 and 12,800, we are able to expose our subject properly any time under any lighting conditions. The Sony FX6 has an internal ND, so when we're shooting outside, making sure our subject isn't overexposed is as simple as the push of a button. This makes for optimal versatility in the run-and-gun world; you never know when you'll have to adjust your exposure on the fly! Between this and its revolutionary continuous autofocus, it makes for the perfect run-and-gun camera!

Second camera

Sony FX3

The Sony FX3 is perfect paired with the FX6. With an exact identical sensor to the FX6, this makes for amazing side-by-side 2-camera shooting due to the color science matching up down to the very last specification! Speaking of specs, the FX3 also has all the same frame rate / resolution options as the FX6. The Sony FX3 is great for flying on the DJI Ronin RS3 due to its size; this makes for a compact cinema rig that's lightweight and easy to bring into smaller places that the FX6 can't fit.

Sony G Master II 16-35mm, 24-70mm, and 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses

Lenses

Sony G Master II F2.8 16-35mm, 24-70mm, & 70-200mm

The Sony G Master II F2.8 lens series not only looks incredible, but has the world's best continuous autofocus when paired with any Sony E-mount camera. This makes for optimal shooting when mounted on a gimbal or jib. The aperture ring allows for smooth adjustments with the de-click switch. This allows you to change the f-stop smoothly as if it was a cinema lens!

An Eonix 420-800mm telephoto lens

Telephoto

Eonix 420-800mm F8.3-16 Telephoto Lens

The Eonix 420-800mm F8.3-16 telephoto lens is a very capable tool for zooming in on a subject from far away to get an extreme close-up. It's perfect for capturing detailed images of distant subjects, effectively bringing remote objects closer.

DJI Ronin RS4 Pro Gimbal

The DJI Ronin RS4 Pro is an essential tool for creating smooth shots. It's the most event-friendly way to stabilize your footage to effectively create smooth camera movements without any shake or jitters.

Crane shots

DIY Mini Jib

The gimbal in conjunction with the monopod, remote controller, video transmitter, and monitor make a great DIY jib for those shoots that don't have quite the budget needed for a crew of production grips and jib technicians available at any moment to assemble and maintain the Teris JQ50 carbon fiber jib that could take an entire work day to set up, balance, and maintain properly.

Lighting

Astra 6X Bi-Color LED Light Panel

The Astra 6X Bi-Color LED Light Panel is a 1x1 panel that tunes from a warm 3200K to a daylight 5600K, so our light matches the room, whether it's lit by tungsten bulbs or a window. Its 1x1 face spreads soft, even light that keeps skin tones natural on camera.
