The Perfect FX6 Rig for Documentaries

If you’ve ever struggled to find the right setup for your Sony FX6 during documentary shoots, you’re in the right place. In this video, I walk you through my complete FX6 rig build—from the base plate to the lens—and explain why each part matters for stability, ease of use, and flexibility on set. I cover everything, from Shape’s ergonomic handles and VCT plates to the trusted Hypercore batteries that power the rig. Plus, I share insights into balancing your camera to avoid fatigue and why I rely on the Tilta top plate and Hollyland Mars M1 transceiver for monitoring. Whether you’re handheld, on an EasyRig, or working with a tripod, this rig is built for versatility. Got questions or suggestions?
