the fx3 rig finally doesn't hate me

honestly this rig has been fighting me for months. tilta cage, v-mount battery, atomos shinobi monitor, matte box, godox iT32 built in for when i need flash. on paper it's a solid setup. in practice it's been a slow process of finding out exactly which combination of cables and mounts makes everything actually talk to each other without something falling off mid-shoot. i still have trouble with this.

the wireless side was the real headache. i wanted to go fx3-to-obs wirelessly instead of dragging an hdmi cable across floor, so i picked up the hollyland mars 300 pro. worked perfectly.

what i've landed on for now:vmount battery plugged into a macbook charger powering the fx3 and my atomos monitor. transmitter and receivers just powered by blocks. maybe i'll buy dummy batteries form them soon. . it's not perfect. i'm still fighting cable management badly, but it's finally at the point where i trust it enough to bring to a shoot without a backup plan taped together in my head.
