Hey look what I have here this is Sony's
action cam FBR x3000 and it shoots 4k
video actually 4k 30 frames per second
in hundred megabits per second this
thing doesn't overheat has an unbeatable
balanced optical stabilization system
that creates Warner's at a simple mic on
it and you can use it as a vlogging
camera that it's simple light and
painless the footage is charged
satellites and beautiful this is the
best action camera out there today
I hate funny faces there's not getting
away from you
[Music]
I go ahead
two weeks ago I decided to document my
vacation deals vlogging but my camera
Sony rx100 mark 4 felt too short for
such tasks since it doesn't have a mic
in I had to make a wind diffuser myself
then I had to deal with the constant
overheating in 4k and of course
extremely full battery life I'm not even
going to talk about the focusing problem
on top of that the lack of proper
stabilization in 4k made things quite
difficult also literally a drop of
seawater paralyzed Sony rx100 mark 4
shutter button the camera thought the
shutter button was being held down
constantly and this created too much
drama for a simple vlogging project so I
decided to get a new camera the first
thing I had in my mind was to buy a
GoPro but while I was researching about
it I came across this little monster
that does everything in a better way and
let's see what's in the box
a mount USB cable and PBX one battery
Sony rx100 uses a battery as well and
some papers in this book this has the
camera that is in its housing
looks like the gum Hansel gave to Rey
InfoSphere in HDMI out movie input and
the microphone input this is where the
battery goes perfect let's look at that
balanced optical stabilization system
along with the low-light test most
action cameras use electronic image
stabilization which means you have to
sacrifice from the image quality and
resolution some cameras like Sony rx100
microphone can't even know for such
thing in 4k because it means extra
pixels and some upscaling to produce the
electronic stabilization but this action
camera does this simply by having a
floating optical path which means the
footage does need to be stabilized
electronically which means more battery
life and higher quality images and that
is what blew my mind about this camera
because it just works it can do 4k time
lapse we're going to take the 4k time
lapse using this gorilla pop arm the
only problem I had with the time lapse
is that I had to make the video myself
from the hundreds of photos it took
which can get a little messy for editing
videos and you're already buried in a
lot of video file has a stereo mic if it
has wind noise reduction we're going to
test that and compare it to this this is
so nice microphone wind noise reduction
is not turned on
this is Sony SDR x3000 with the noise
reduction turn off this the sound test
using rode videomicro
it is splashes them and it comes with a
housing then it is water-resistant hmm I
think I can find I think I can find a
couple of places to test
[Music]
in 1080p can shoot up to 120 frames per
second and in 720p 240 frames per second
so you can shoot slow-motion videos with
this the menu
on this device is pretty simple this is
how you turn it on and when you hit this
to go into the menu and you can move
around with this and if you see
something you like you hit this button
to get into that menu and everything is
pretty simple and pretty easy to
understand even without looking into the
manual now of course you can get this
one with a live remote and with a live
remote you can control your camera you
can see what is going on unfortunately
here they were out of that so I wasn't
able to get one you can also control
this device using your tablet or your
phone over Wi-Fi
now let's pair this to my iPad you can
pair it to your tablet to your phone
doesn't matter I'm going to use my iPad
because I'm recording the sound with my
iPhone right now what you need to do is
go in your play memories mobile app and
then open this part up and in here
you're going to see a QR code we are
going to scan that QR code scanning
complete hit OK and then we install this
profile in
profile skill time Wi-Fi and there it is
what's coming to that let's go like to
play memories and put the camera here
and as you can see we are we can control
the camera using this app and we go to
the settings in the settings you can
have the camera remote power on and off
this is done over Bluetooth you can see
the images on your camera you can turn
digital zoom on or off right now it's on
as we can see I can zoom in there's a
little lag this happens with every Sony
device and then we have white balance
you can set your white balance to auto
to tell them you can have a custom white
balance setting and then scene selection
normal is when you're using a camera
normally and underwater while you're on
the water and then we have color
settings neutral or vivid and then
record mode 100 megabits 30 frames per
second you can change this to anything
else you like movie format mp4 is ABC SX
ABC s 4k and steady shot you can add
this to the shaft active standard or you
can turn it off I don't know why you
would but you can audio recording on or
off wind noise reduction on or off
vertical flip if you're using the camera
upside down you can use that Bluetooth
power settings it's now it's right now
it's disabled you can enable it be both
connected device be volume I think it's
too low when I'm using it by itself and
I set it to normal when I'm using it
with the housing for the underwater
housing because it block 2 sounds really
good land sitting light all lands when
you're recording so you know what's
going on or some lamps or does not light
land if you want to do something shady
one touch recording this is as soon as
you hit record it starts recording can
be it can be useful while you're on the
water and you see something and then you
want to record it right away you don't
need to turn it on first
you just recording it starts recording
and we have the pal ntsc selective power
save start time then we can format the
memory cards multi camera control
settings
using this you can control multi ftrh
3000 cameras you can it show at the same
time and have a matrix effect if you
like and then we have the camera
information
it's from where one point zero zero and
you can turn the grid line on or off and
we can turn the mirror mode on or off
but that's not all if I change this to
mp4 when I go to my settings is you can
see now there is new angle settings and
in the angle settings I can set it to
wide which is how it was in the 4k and I
said it's medium this is medium or I can
change it to narrow and now it has less
fish eye effect but this doesn't work in
4k after using this camera for a couple
of days I can easily say the battery
life is pretty good I use this camera
right now for vlogging which means I
turn it on and off all the time and with
two batteries I can go through a day
without any problems at all and this is
my setup for vlogging I can hold it like
this and film it into the microphone if
I see something I like I hold it like
that
I'm going to make this a little better
when I go back home because with this
setup I cannot sit down on something
without speech status and it's possible
so as far as the action cameras go this
is probably the best one out there right
now well done Tony well that I wish you
did this good with Sony rx100 mark 5
