Quite a good battery but after several charges it loses its maximum capacity, resulting in a disproportionately reduced duration with each cycle.
As for the very negative aspects, its price is almost double compared to the Sony batteries we also use, with the latter having a much longer lifespan for half the price.
But what can we do? In front of Canon's wonderful photo archive, we overlook this aspect.

The specific lens has been with me for several years, very useful for many different situations.
Very lightweight so you can always have it with you, at 35 millimeters it focuses very close, almost macro-like, at 16 it has some distortion but not as much as other third-party manufacturers like Tamron 17-28 where at 17 millimeters the edges become like a ball.
So the gmaster is the sharpest with the least distortion, with incredible color performance and amazing construction, but with double or more the price. If you're not a professional like me, who makes money from it, I think you can get by with a similar lens at a lower price.
The second version is essentially the same but smaller and lighter with almost 500€ more.
Beware of vignetting from 16-24+, it has a lot more in intense light where you need a filter, especially above 3 stops, I'm talking about video always. So if you want the 2.8 with a filter above 3 stops, you need a very good quality filter so it doesn't have too much vignetting.
The barrel, which starts from 35 millimeters and extends to 16mm, doesn't protrude much, which has a positive effect on using a gimbal so you don't need to rebalance the stabilizer every time you change the focal length.
The 2.8 is quite bright, but not as much if you're used to larger apertures like 1.2, 1.4, 1.8...
Useful? Necessary, I would say! Expensive? Quite!
Worth it? Yes, but!

Atomos Ninja v+ is simply an amazing machine, no serious cinematographer-videographer can be without a monitor.
I have been using Atomos monitors for several years and they have never disappointed me.
Recently, I have been using the ninja v+ for exclusive prores recording in order to have the best possible information and image quality without needing huge processing power for post-production. This way, the workflow runs smoothly without any changes even with huge amounts of data, 3-4tb at a time.
The monitor screams quality from afar, with incredible build quality. It works flawlessly even in adverse weather conditions such as humidity and extreme heat. "Even at 45 degrees Celsius, it continues to record without any problems."
It is the ideal solution for recording log, especially for cameras that do not have built-in LUT. You can pass the LUT through the SSD so that you can see in real-time what you are recording.
It comes in a hard case for transportation, along with a charger and an adapter for permanent power supply. You can also use the adapter as a V-mount battery adapter instead of using a dummy battery. It also has a slot for a SATA III SSD, which slides in on the back. Personally, I have not used it because I have purchased magnesium cases from Andycine to prevent the vents on the back from being blocked, resulting in better cooling.
It has the ability to record up to 8K 25p for the Canon R5, and 4K 50p for other series.
Except for the FX series from 6 and onwards, which records 4K 100p.
We are always talking about prores.
The screen is fantastic, with immediate response and an easy-to-use menu with excellent and useful features such as histogram, waveform, focus peaking, etc.
The only negatives I find are the limitation to 50p, the HDMI 2.0 could have been 2.1, and the relative slow response from playback to rec.

Amazing construction, sturdy tripods with open legs where the stem attaches on top, which, be careful, is very heavy, around 6 kilograms, it couldn't be otherwise, without a counterweight it holds the 600 aputure lights together with a lantern without any problem.
If you want to transport them, it's very difficult to carry them one by one, I have bought a carrying case 1.40m long from Amazon because there is nothing like that in Greece and I transport two sets at the same time.
So, if you want a tripod for lights and more, that you will have for a lifetime and not worry if it will fall from the air, if it will move and fall, etc., then this is the kind of tripod you are looking for.

Personally, for me, this is the best automatic fixed lens for the E mount. Lightweight lens, compact, very well-balanced, amazing performance in low light conditions at 1.2 even though it gives 100% at 2-2.8 with amazing autofocus. I use it on A7SIII, fx3 for videos, and a7rV for photos sometimes. Although for photography we use another brand (as seen in the photos below). It has no distortion at all, it doesn't focus close but that's not a problem because you don't buy such a lens for that purpose, I think it should be in the basic trio of every serious photographer and videographer. Personally, if I have to work with an automatic lens, this is my first choice, extremely sharp lens, the bokeh is truly incredible. At 1.2 you need to be quite far away for the subject to be properly focused, at 2 to 3.2 it is fantastic even if the subject is quite close, the autofocus is silent, also the focusing mechanism does not extend like the equivalent Canon rf. For €2200, it is really a very good price for such a lens, I have also worked with the 1.4 but the truth is that the 1.2 is much better with the only drawback being the approximately 200g more. If the dilemma is 1.4 or 1.2, my opinion is clearly 1.2 as long as it is within your budget. These few words about this amazing lens, have fun and happy shooting!

The fx3 is a camera that introduces you to the cine line series, with different perspectives for creating cinematic-level content.
I will not go into the technical specifications, there are countless reviews, with the latest software update 4.0, I think it became almost a cinema camera with true 24 fps, anamorphic lens function, etc... in combination with a stable cinematic manual lens, the results exceed expectations. Personally, I find it a perfect camera, which is why I have two, for its price and size, in relation to what it offers. Almost 14 stops of dynamic range through atomos ninja with prores raw in slog 3 and cine EI with dual base iso 800 and 12800, where in the second one there is no camera that can compete with it in low light conditions, it really is the best camera currently available on the market that can shoot perfectly without any noise in conditions where light is limited, there is no other camera like it, not even from arri, red, or even from the flagship of the high-end cinema series, venice...
For someone who does not have the corresponding accessories to accompany it so that the camera can deliver its full potential, they should take into account that the accessories to turn it into a real cinema camera far exceed the initial cost of the camera itself, which is why I draw attention to prospective buyers that only with the camera they will not achieve the results they imagine or have seen in some evaluation.
These are a few things about the fx3, have fun and good shooting!

A set of special filters to create flares like anamorphic lenses in orange and blue shades, also includes a mist filter that is very useful for muted tones and less highlights.
An extremely high-quality product, it does not weigh down the camera rig at all, resulting in flawless operation with all three filters included in the set.
In a city with many different lights, it is not recommended to use them on a drone as the result will be as seen in the video. However, if you are far away and there is relatively little light pollution, the result is like the photograph.
They are quite expensive for just creating an effect, but in certain situations, especially in combination with ground equipment where anamorphic lenses are used, they make a fantastic duo.
Personally, I use the Sirui brand on my cameras.
That's all for this particular product, have fun and happy shooting!

Nice cable without disconnects, average build quality and quite expensive.
I bought it solely because it has a very thin cable and is flexible.

What can I say about these guys, I have them everywhere on my PC, on Nas, on an external monitor for recording prores raw, everyone and everything works perfectly with many transfers of huge file volumes every time.
Really a very good choice.

For file storage simply perfect.
With unbeatable price and nice finish.
Works as a backup for video files, I have 4 other Toshiba ones without any problems at all.
