Sony Cinema Line FX30 Super 35 Camera with XLR Handle - Compact cage-free design with 4K up to 120p

20.1 MP1 Exmor R APS-C (Super 35mm format) image sensor with wide dynamic range

Sony’s acclaimed image sensor technology in a new back-illuminated 20.1 megapixels APS-C Exmor R CMOS sensor (Super 35 format) achieves high sensitivity, low noise, and wide dynamic latitude. 6K oversampling compresses a vast amount of information into 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) output, delivering 4K movies with overwhelming resolution. Capture the scene in cinematic 4K resolution with the expressive depth of field, stunning bokeh, and cinematic freedom of an APS-C size sensor. The image sensor maximizes light collection efficiency so that clear, usable images can be captured in dim light. Standard ISO sensitivity is 100 to 32000, and latitude is an impressively wide 14+ stops.

S-Cinetone for a cinematic look straight out of the camera without grading

The FX30 includes S-Cinetone, the same color science that produces the highly regarded FX9 and FX6 color and skin tones. Based on technology acquired through development of digital cinema cameras such as Sony’s VENICE 2, S-Cinetone delivers natural mid-tones that are essential to healthy-looking skin color, plus soft colors and gorgeous highlights. Because S-Cinetone produces all this directly within the camera, it's easy to achieve a beautiful cinematic look without the necessity of post-production grading.

Flexible ISO, Cine EI Quick and Cine EI Log shooting modes for optimized image quality

Three modes are provided for recording with the S-Log3 gamma curve (“Log Shooting Setting” in the menu) when post processing will be used to grade and finish the footage. Cine EI, inherited from Sony’s high-end Cinema Line models, offers wide latitude and the highest possible image quality. Cine EI Quick automatically switches the camera’s base ISO according to the selected Exposure Index (EI). And Flexible ISO provides the greatest flexibility for exposure settings.

User LUTs can be applied to the LCD display and HDMI output and embedded in clips

When recording with the S-Log3 gamma curve, the low-contrast image displayed on the monitor can make it difficult to judge how the final image will look. The FX30 allows custom LUTs to be applied to the LCD monitor and HDMI output, providing a more accurate preview of the final image. LUTs can also be embedded in clips to facilitate post-production processing4. The FX30 even includes a new s709 preset LUT that can provide a more cinematic look while monitoring. In addition to the preset LUTs, up to 16 user LUTs (.cube format)5 can be imported into the camera via memory card.

Dual Base ISO and a 14+ stop3 range for wide latitude and low-noise images

The Dual Base ISO provides two sensitivity settings - one at ISO 800 and one at ISO 2500. This allows you to select an appropriate noise floor, for clean images, as well as maximize the FX30’s dynamic range when shooting in both bright or low-light conditions. Furthermore, a wide 14+ stop latitude minimizes the risk of blown highlights or blocked shadows over a wide range of lighting conditions, making it easier to shoot top-quality images in just about any shooting situation.

Log recording for smooth cinematic image quality when color grading

For full-scale productions, the S-Log3 gamma curve provided in the FX30 has been designed for smooth gradations, and to make it easier to achieve cinematic image quality when color grading in post-production. Both S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine offers high-quality color reproduction over a wide latitude, and special care has been taken to adjust the camera's output to ensure that the highest image quality can be easily achieved during post-processing.

DJI RS 3 Gimbal Stabilizer

With every detail, DJI RS 3 delivers a flexible and efficient shooting experience to solo creators and independent crews. Light and sleek, it provides professional stabilization and efficient control for more creative freedom and endless possibilities. DJI RS 3 is ready when you are.

Quick-Release Plates

With dual-layered quick-release plates, mounting a camera onto RS 3 is fast and convenient, with no need to re-balance the gimbal after swapping out a new battery or memory card.

A newly added fine-tuning knob on the tilt axis allows the camera to slide forward or backward with millimeter-grade precision to achieve accurate balancing more easily when changing lenses.

Automated Axis Locks

RS 3 lets you get up and running instantly. When the gimbal is powered off, press and hold the power button, and the three axes unlock while the gimbal expands automatically, allowing you to start working within seconds. Press the power button once, and the axes automatically lock and enter sleep mode, making transportation and travel significantly more efficient. Press and hold the power button and it will fold and lock automatically.

Wireless Shutter Control

By implementing Dual-Mode Bluetooth, RS 3 supports wireless shutter control, saving time and effort with every use. After the initial Bluetooth pairing, you can control video and photo shooting by simply pressing the record button on the stabilizer. Previously paired cameras can automatically reconnect after the first use, eliminating the need for a camera control cable.

Excellent Weight-to-Payload Ratio

Weighing only 1.3 kg/2.8 lbs (including gimbal, battery grip, and quick-release plates), RS 3 can be held easily in one hand, while its 3kg/6.6lb load capacity is more than enough to support mainstream cameras, including the Sony A7S3 or Canon R5 with a 24-70mm F2.8 lens.

3rd-Gen RS Stabilization Algorithm

Thanks to a next-generation RS stabilization algorithm, RS 3 provides enhanced stability in any scenario.

Laboratory sampling data shows RS 3 provides a 20% increase in stability over RSC 2, effortlessly managing low-angle shots, running scenarios, or switching between high and low positions.

Beyond Smooth

With SuperSmooth mode the RS 3 will increase motor torque to further enhance stabilization, delivering stable footage even in fast-moving scenarios or when 100mm-equivalent focal lenses are used.

1.8-Inch OLED Touchscreen

Compared with the black and white screen of RSC 2, RS 3 is equipped with a 1.8-inch OLED full-color touchscreen with an 80% larger display. It also supports most Ronin app settings, providing intuitive and precise control together with the redesigned user interface.

Instant Mode Switching

By simply sliding the new gimbal mode switch, you can alternate between Pan follow, Pan and Tilt follow, and FPV modes. The FPV mode selection is also customizable to 3D Roll 360, Portrait, or Custom, allowing you to adjust your equipment and get started fast.

Customizable Front Dial

Rotating the front dial allows you to control zoom or focus. It can also be customized to control the camera's shutter, aperture, ISO, or gimbal movements, making it exceptionally convenient for single-handed operation.

Monitoring via Smartphone

RS 3 supports the Ronin Image Transmitter (previously known as the Ronin RavenEye Image Transmitter) to transmit 1080p/30fps HD live feeds directly to a mobile device. The maximum transmission distance is 200 meters and the end-to-end transmission latency is as low as 60 ms. A smartphone can also be attached to the NATO port on RS 3 with the phone holder for wireless monitoring.
