Update!

I've added A7SIII and A7IV to the title of this video because majority of the parts are applicable to both models, the only difference being the actual cage for whichever model you end up buying.



The Sony FX3 is an amazing camera, but doesn't live up to its fullest potential straight out of the box. In this video, I breakdown all of the components I've added to my FX3 to build it into a worthwhile cinema camera. I've included chapters and a parts list below for anyone interested in building a similar setup. Hope you enjoy!
