WEBVTT

00:00:07.319 --> 00:00:13.599
welcome to my unboxing and first look at

00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.599
the Sony

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:20.080
fs700 camcorder which will be uh which

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:24.960
will be used for Tech tips purposes this is uh this is a oh it cost a lot of

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:29.960
money so yes this was something I legitimately purchased in order for us

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:33.239
to bring you all kinds of higher quality

00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:35.239
production values and all kinds of good

00:00:33.239 --> 00:00:39.640
sort of stuff let's see what Sony has to say for themselves on the outside of

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:41.840
this very very boring Brown packaging so

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:45.520
here's a bunch of hoo-ha about trademarks and registered trademarks and

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:50.199
whatnot here's a big warning right on the top of the box damage to this unit

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:55.160
verifiably verifiably caused by the use of non infolithium batteries will not be

00:00:52.640 --> 00:01:01.680
covered by the warranty uh when using SD class 4 or faster as recommended all

00:00:57.559 --> 00:01:03.800
right we've got a super 35 cosos X more

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:08.240
whatever that is probably the sensor in all likelihood it has a 4K sensor in it

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:12.640
that's something of note so you have to get a firmware upgrade later on down the

00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.880
line to get 4k support they're estimating it'll cost $500 to $1,000

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:22.759
which still makes it a great value for 4K capture but I think is absolutely

00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:28.200
ridiculous for um just charging for firmware that's not

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:32.320
my my IT industry Roots would uh would would disagree with that particular

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:39.880
approach so ABC HD is how it captures two cards however it also has the option

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:43.799
of capturing two HDMI just with uh using

00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:45.799
an HDMI output and a capture card such

00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:51.840
as the intensity Pro from Blackmagic which I also purchased so okay we have

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:58.119
one of those microphone doodads let's just go ahead and open it up so wind

00:01:55.240 --> 00:02:01.000
blocker let's just okay forget it I'm not going to be able to open that you

00:01:59.399 --> 00:02:08.160
know what open thank you there we go just a simple

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:10.360
foam one foam there fascinating

00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:15.519
interchangeable lens digital HD V recorder okay operating guide very very

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:19.160
short limited warranty here so labor is

00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:20.239
for 90 days and parts say one year onee

00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:26.440
warranty on this thing good thing I bought it with my Visa which has an extended oneyear warranty content

00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:31.120
management utility okay interchangeable lens digital hdv oh there's the real

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:34.319
manual on a disc hey way to go Sony and then here's apparently another one

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:37.879
here's an operating guide setting the headphone sound all that kind of good

00:02:35.959 --> 00:02:43.840
stuff this is all no this is all English wow

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:43.840
okay all right what else we got in

00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:50.519
here is that an eyepiece I don't know

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:56.200
I'm not much of a camera guy actually diesel is the one who's going to be showing me how to use all this stuff so

00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:01.840
I'm just excited about the fact that we're going to have a okay

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:10.440
H magnify very cool I'm just excited about

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:14.799
the fact that we're going to have a uh a much better a much better camera overall

00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:18.360
and that someone will be operating it and that we will be able to bring you

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:22.280
better better overall production values we'll be able to set like you know depth

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:25.120
of field and stuff like that so that you know it'll have like kind of that blurry

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:33.439
background and just generally look better this thing can capture it up to 960 frames per second which is also kind

00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:36.280
of cool um although it doesn't really

00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:40.360
capture any kind of decent quality at that frame rate and it can only capture

00:03:37.959 --> 00:03:44.959
for I think a couple seconds but you can get some pretty reasonably long captures

00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:51.400
at reasonably high quality at as high as 240 FPS which was is great for like slow

00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:55.360
motion and that kind of stuff that uh we will obviously be playing with if we're

00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:59.040
going to be investing this much into equipment you know you got to make sure

00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:02.319
you're using it so it comes with a microphone

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:07.120
okay there's the microphone that matches that uh foam condom thing that goes on

00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:10.360
top of it right there okay however we're going to be using a different mic so

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:15.280
we'll be using an ntg2 from

00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:17.040
Road there you go that one comes with a

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:20.479
10e warranty see they understand how to stand behind an expensive product this

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:25.400
camera is like $8,500 and uh they give you a oneyear warranty

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:30.600
with it look at all these accessories and whatnot this is exciting so here's a

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:37.840
battery charger VCR / camera nice love it and then

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:42.240
charging there's a power adapter for it there's a DC output so this is oh okay

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:46.120
so you're either charging or you're outputting to the camera slash if you

00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:49.320
have a VCR that runs off that connector then I guess you could do that I guess

00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:54.520
they mean like video capture

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:55.880
recorder ooh okay this is the lens so

00:04:54.520 --> 00:05:02.560
important to be careful with this I'm not going to not going to play around with this too much so it's a kit lens

00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:03.919
but as far as kit lenses go uh my

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:08.720
understanding is this one's actually pretty decent so there's the little

00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:14.120
cover for the end piece um looked into getting something

00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:18.680
that was not a kit lens but did not end up wanting to go down that rout so here

00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:24.960
we've got all of our manual manual controls for Focus as well as for

00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:28.080
Zoom cool beans uses an e-mount so something to be aware of guys is you

00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:33.039
need an adapter that costs a few hundred if you want to use anything but a Sony

00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:36.360
native e-mount lens on this camera uh that was again the reason we went with

00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:43.000
the kit was because to get anything decent that was not the kit lens was

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:45.600
going to cost um at least 1,000 bucks so

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:51.960
so we went that route here's a microphone holder oh

00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:55.039
that's disappointing cuz I bought one oh well now we

00:05:55.039 --> 00:06:01.360
know what else we got here hm Okay so so

00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:06.639
there's your hand piece which you can use to uh Zoom as well as something to

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:10.919
do with focus and photos so you attach that to the camera it's a very modular

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:16.000
design much like the fs100 so there's a lot of of pieces and uh and gizmos that

00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:20.440
you can attach to it in order to customize the experience comes with a

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:24.479
remote see continuing the proud tradition of cheese ball remotes with

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:28.960
expensive gear that I've seen time and time again in my years in the uh in the

00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:33.319
IT industry as well as whatever other industry just seems to be sort of by law

00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:37.560
everyone does that here's a USB adapter of some sort guessing that's for pulling

00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:41.800
footage off the camera here's some strap hopefully there's instructions to go

00:06:38.919 --> 00:06:47.039
along with all this and lots of cables so here's a component adapter component

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:51.400
video out here is just is this really just RCA

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:58.440
cables really I mean if I really fs700 I need

00:06:56.080 --> 00:07:02.599
RCA okay maybe maybe I'm missing something here I'm sure I'm missing

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:07.280
something but that just seems brain dead okay here is

00:07:04.919 --> 00:07:11.960
another oh this looks like the piece to actually run the camera off of so

00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:16.280
there's your uh your filter as well as your wire and power adapter so in that

00:07:14.280 --> 00:07:21.520
case I have no idea what the point of this is cuz that's not even that's not

00:07:18.440 --> 00:07:24.120
even the same like anything that's not

00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:27.319
even remotely related okay it's okay diesel will be able to figure all this

00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:30.479
out it won't matter for me two power cables for those two pieces for the

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:35.680
battery charger as well as to run the camera another USB cable which I'm sure

00:07:33.479 --> 00:07:42.960
there's a point to USB a to mini which is somehow different from this USB cable

00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:44.639
which I can't identify what that is okay

00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:50.759
ah infolithium battery so I'm going to need a bunch of these I suppose at some

00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:53.560
point all right that goes there and now

00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.560
we are left

00:07:55.080 --> 00:08:01.840
with a battery

00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:03.919
cover yeah we're not interested in that

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:07.759
oh no that's not a battery what is this I don't know it doesn't matter let's

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.759
open up the

00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:14.080
camera wow it's big it's actually a

00:08:12.280 --> 00:08:20.240
little bit bigger than I expected so bearing in mind I know

00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:24.319
absolutely nothing I can already tell this is a lot more baller than the XA 10

00:08:22.440 --> 00:08:28.199
that we're using to film this it does come with ND filters so you can use

00:08:26.039 --> 00:08:30.520
those to adjust the something to do with the amount of light that comes through

00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:37.959
or something like that that was one of the reasons we ended up going with the fs700 versus the fs100 you have to get

00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.479
like little uh little ND filters to change the quality of the light and put

00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:47.279
them over top with the fs100 whereas this one it's built in uh We've also got

00:08:44.959 --> 00:08:52.480
manual controls for pretty much everything and its dog so that's a huge

00:08:50.640 --> 00:08:55.959
advantage over something like the XA 10 that we've been using up till now where

00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:00.920
everything's done via touchscreen interface that's extremely inconvenient

00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:04.600
uh the ergonomics on the fs700 are also supposedly quite a bit better than the

00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:07.839
fs100 although I've never seen either of them in person up till now so here do

00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:12.600
you want to just come in and have a have a close look at the body here it's not that heavy uh once you throw a lens on

00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:17.279
it I guess it's going to add quite a bit of weight but uh we've got a new tripod

00:09:15.640 --> 00:09:21.240
as well that's going to help us with the additional the additional weight

00:09:18.959 --> 00:09:24.920
requirements that uh that we have you know what let's throw the battery in and

00:09:22.839 --> 00:09:28.000
see what happens here hey I mean that's what we do on this channel right we just

00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:34.079
sort of randomly do things and then we hope that it sort of works so there's an

00:09:30.560 --> 00:09:36.120
indicator arrow that yeah that didn't

00:09:34.079 --> 00:09:41.560
work oh there we go all right what happens if we turn it on power

00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:46.240
on and it doesn't come charged oh yes it does there we

00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:49.399
go and we can set things like

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:51.480
the time zone okay forget that for now

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:55.959
so there we go face detection last scene Auto manual

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:58.800
mode oo lots of cool stuff that I totally don't understand there's the

00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:02.360
battery release button as well there's your mounting for your tripod actually a

00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:06.720
wide variety of different mounting mechanisms here as well as little rubber feet so it doesn't go anywhere if you

00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:11.880
put it down which is important cuz it's expensive okay headphone monitor so you

00:10:09.040 --> 00:10:15.000
can uh monitor well sound just like that we've also got HDMI out so this is what

00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:21.040
I talked about before where we'll be using HDMI out to capture to a black

00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:22.360
magic card and then ah this one that's

00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:29.680
what we're going to need when uh when we're doing 4K out so that's your HD SDI

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:31.920
out which is uh more flexible cables um

00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:36.000
lighter weight all these are good things however there's these fancy red mirr

00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:41.880
cables now so this is what we'll be using for HDMI capture that you can use

00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:43.880
28 AWG wires and still achieve a 50t

00:10:41.880 --> 00:10:46.680
distance on them so we'll be running that out of here wrapping it around an

00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:50.600
ARM to make sure it doesn't pull too hard on the connector and uh and going

00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:55.160
that route so here's all of your audio controls right here you control which

00:10:52.160 --> 00:10:56.680
input and how much and who and what as

00:10:55.160 --> 00:11:00.240
well as all the wow look at all these dedicated controls for playing back I

00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:05.800
guess they really mean for you to use this in the field it's got a beautiful display on it great viewing angle on

00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:08.480
that can you tell from there or I is it just yeah you can't really tell okay

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:18.360
awesome viewing angle on there so they really mean for you to actually be reviewing your footage a little bit to

00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:20.000
uh LCD hold oh okay you can make it uh

00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:24.519
yeah yeah you can make the LCD hold in place or you can totally release it so

00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:27.600
that it's there we go okay some more mounting pieces mounting points for all

00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.680
kinds of various accessories and stuff like I said very modular so you can can

00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:38.320
release this as well and then put different sort of adapters and whatnot

00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:42.200
this is this is for that something we

00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:44.440
had some here we go this is for this I

00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:49.200
think no it's not I have no idea what that's for you know what we'll be so

00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:54.279
yeah we figured it out there it's for like a flash memory recorder thing so we

00:11:51.560 --> 00:11:59.959
put that spacer in there now also uh there's your inputs for uh for audio one

00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:03.600
and two just right there uh you can change modes from video to

00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:08.920
photo I really hope you're not taking photos with this thing though because that's really not what it's for and uh

00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:12.800
that pretty much covers it so here's your shoe mounts for various accessories

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:19.120
and whatnot so we're going to build it and then uh show you guys once it's

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:22.720
assembled so I think we got it assembled now like I said before we don't really

00:12:20.880 --> 00:12:27.160
know what we're doing but uh we have this camera now so uh yeah it's bigger

00:12:25.199 --> 00:12:30.880
than I expected and you know we've got the microphone attached now so we ran

00:12:28.959 --> 00:12:34.880
that to the to the input here oh yeah iPhone size comparison of course so

00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:39.240
there that's the here I'll put that there iPhone can basically be like an

00:12:36.880 --> 00:12:43.800
output for this thing or rather like a display for this thing so it's huge see

00:12:41.920 --> 00:12:49.079
there there's the iPhone again there's the thickness and um yeah so we figured

00:12:47.680 --> 00:12:52.920
out what this thing's for it is an eyepiece it's just a slight

00:12:50.839 --> 00:12:56.880
