Benefits for Renters (that's YOU!)

Versatile Hybrid Functionality

This camera stands out by seamlessly blending cinematic video features with professional-grade stills capabilities. This is great for projects that require both, without switching gear. Save money; save time; save hassle.

Exceptional Image Quality & Low-Light Performance

With over 15 stops of dynamic range and a wide ISO range (800/4000 dual-base, expandable to 102 400), you’ll capture rich detail in both highlights and shadows, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Efficient Extended Shoot Capability

The internal cooling and lightweight design support up to 13 hours of continuous 4K 60p shooting without overheating. This fixes a big problem with previous small FX bodies (looking at YOU FX3) and is ideal for long-form documentary, event coverage, or run-and-gun setups.

User-Friendly Interface & Monitoring

The tilting OLED EVF and touch-enabled “BIG6” interface simplify navigation and framing, enhancing comfort and operational speed. If you're renting for fast-paced productions, this is a massive help.

Advanced Autofocus and Stabilization

AI-powered Real-Time AF ensures accurate tracking across varied subjects, while integrated stabilization and metadata support smoother handheld shots and easier stabilization in post.

Flexible Recording Options & Creative Control

Record in 4K with rich color and codec options, apply LUTs directly on camera, and support anamorphic workflows via desqueeze. This can be ideal for rental scenarios requiring more advanced production styles and workflows.

Lightweight, Rugged, and Ready for Rigging

Weighing under 700 g and featuring multiple mounting points, the FX2 is perfect for gimbal, handheld, or even drone setups. The optional XLR handle enhances handling flexibility for solo operators.
