FX6 looks huge.A7s III + FX6?
Compared to the C70.same size as fs5
Compared to the C70.
Well it’s all personal prefrence, for me I like to have a bigger, proper Cine camera (with full size XLR which I doubt the C70 will get) But hoping for an XLR-module so that the C70 can be more like a Xc15/XF400/FX6 etc.FX6 looks huge.
The pd150s back in the dayI love the rounded edges of the FX6 and the top handle. The grey of the FX line, overall, reminds me of the Handycams of the 1990s.
Am I the only one that prefers the ergonomics of this fx6 to the c70? I hate blackmagic form factor, it’s ridiculous just make it a box it’s not that hard. Balancing blackmagics on a gimbal or steadi is a pain in the @$$, why copy that? Copy Arri, the Alexa mini is a dream to balance and operate kitted up. No real camera operator wants to use these dslr camcorder hybrids, or is it just me?

Will never happen. Sony can do no wrong (even when they do). They seem to have a cult type user base. I've owned their cameras and they make fine products, but I just cannot stand how some brands get that type of rabid following and their users bash everything else.I wonder if from now on we're starting to hear bitching about Sony cannibalizing their α cameras to protect the cinema line…
Yes you can have motors work harder to keep your camera leveled but a camera should be center balanced, and if you keep your motors working harder than they should you’re going to have reliability issues long term, not only that but when your battery runs out or someone unaware of your off balance setup turns off your gimbal, something is going to break. I’m aware of the Ursa’s but I've never used one because no one pays money to rent a Blackmagic on a production. Other than the Ursas all black Magic’s have bad formfactors, they’re marketed towards small studio productions where the budget doesn’t allow for external monitors. I work with Arri mostly Alexa and Amira, I’m not a snob, I like the C300 and I’ve been waiting for a camera with these specs at this price point. I probably will buy it because canons can be matched up to arris easily. But the form factor makes it awkward to work with.You are aware that BMD makes more cameras than the BMPCC right? They make the Ursa mini for example that has basically tha same form factor as an Alexa mini. I'm really not sure where you get the idea that a BMPCC is hard to balance on a gimble but a Alexa mini is no problem. If you move up to the type of gimbal you need to fly an Alexa you wouldn't even have to balance the BMPCC as the motors would be strong enough muscle it around with out balancing. The size and weigh difference between the two cameras is a whole order of magnitude different. And if you look the C70 is going to be more of a deep EOS R shape than that of a BMPCC and should be super simple to balance on a gimbal.
I see what I wrote was went completely over your head.Yes you can have motors work harder to keep your camera leveled but a camera should be center balanced, and if you keep your motors working harder than they should you’re going to have reliability issues long term, not only that but when your battery runs out or someone unaware of your off balance setup turns off your gimbal, something is going to break.

It hasn’t, ask a steadicam operator what dynamic balance is.I see what I wrote was went completely over your head.
