Our compact cinema-camera rig for hire includes a Sony FX30 as the main body of the camera, which uses an APS-C sensor, and can record footage up to 4K 120fps in S-Log3 (perfect for colour-grading and applying LUTs). This camera is paired with a cinema-quality Sony FE 2.8 16-35 G-Master lens, which is a fast-aperture wide-angle zoom lens, ideal for narrative projects, run-and-gun shooting, documentaries and commercial work. The lens comes with two filters, a Hoya 82mm Variable Density II Filter and a Hoya 82mm UX II Filter for sun and damage protection.
The rig itself is made up of a Small-Rig cage, Top Handle (Lite) and Mini Side Handle. The rig has 7 cold-shoe mounts, an Arca-Swiss quick release plate for mounting on tripods and gimbals, and several mounting points for other accessories.
Additionally provided:
- An Atomos Shinobi II external monitor to be mounted atop the top handle with a Swivel & Tilt Cold-Shoe Mount. The 5" display has a resolution of 1920x1080p and is HDR-compatible. The screen has touch-to-focus and camera control functionality, as well as false colour, zebras, waveforms and histograms features for monitoring exposure and composition.
- 1x HDMI Cable, 1x Microphone 3.5mm Cable, 1x USB-C Camera Control Cable, 1x Power Supply and Cable for Sony FX30
- 1x Sony NP-FZ100 Rechargeable Battery (in-camera) and 1x SmallRig Rechargeable USB-C NP-F970. These will power the rig on a single charge for about 4 hours, 3 hours of continuous shooting.
- 128GB CFExpress memory card (in-camera)
The optional Audio Kit includes:
- A RODE Videomic NTG shotgun microphone which connects through the FX30's audio jack and is mounted via Cold-Shoe onto the camera's cage.
- A RODE Micro Boompole which can mount the Videomic NTG for clearer directional audio necessary for narrative filmmaking and interviews.
- The RODE Wireless PRO Kit which includes 2 wireless transmitters and 1 wireless receiver which can be connected to the camera via its audio jack, or record 32-bit float audio itself. It includes 2 RODE Lavalier II's which can be connected to the transmitters. Includes a charging case and wind protection accessories.
