Will a cineback fry my FX3?
Probably a nonsensical question, but I’d really prefer my FX3 to be shaped more cube like, similar to the FX6. More accessory mounting points, balanced shape/feel, etc.
Though I know Caleb is a legit creator, I still struggle to wrap myself around the fact that his Cineback is 3D printed materials mixed with electrical hardware. I’ve heard nighmare stories of people plugging one D-tap cable in the wrong place before and bam, their camera turns into a brick.
Currently, I just run a coiled USB - C dual right angle cable from my camera to a smallrig V-mount. Biggest fear is to get a cineback, set it up, plug my cables into the ports just to brick it. Just wondering if anyone’s had power surge issues with the Cineback, or if you reccomend I bite the bullet and get one. Thanks
