Enter the world of cinematic storytelling with the Sony FX3, a camera that places the power of Sony’s prestigious Cinema Line directly into your hands. Available for rent at Unicorn Films, the FX3 is engineered for creators on the move, blending a full-frame sensor’s breathtaking image quality with a remarkably compact and agile form factor. It’s the ideal rental for independent films, documentaries, high-end corporate video, and content creation, available for any project in Delhi-NCR or across India.
The Power of a Full-Frame Cinema Sensor
At its core, the FX3 shares the same phenomenal sensor as its renowned sibling, the A7S III. The 10.2MP full-frame Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor is a master of low light, optimized for 4K video with incredibly fast readout speeds to minimize rolling shutter. Key imaging features include:
Professional Specs, Compact Form
Don’t let its size fool you; the FX3 is a technical powerhouse. It records stunning 4K footage at up to 120 frames per second for dramatic slow-motion and captures it all with deep, 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling for smooth gradients and robust color information. Critically for a rental camera, the FX3 features an internal cooling fan. This active cooling system allows for extended, uninterrupted recording in demanding formats, ensuring reliability on set where other compact cameras might fail.
Designed for the Filmmaker
Every aspect of the FX3 is built for a video-centric workflow. The included detachable XLR handle unit is a game-changer for audio, providing two full-size, professional XLR inputs with phantom power and physical controls. The body itself features a cage-free design, with multiple 1/4″-20 threaded mounting points for directly attaching monitors, microphones, and other accessories without extra hardware. Features like front and rear tally lamps, a dedicated zoom rocker, and a button layout optimized for video shooters make it an intuitive and efficient tool in the field.
Unwavering Focus and Stability
The FX3 is equipped with Sony’s class-leading Fast Hybrid Autofocus system. With Real-time Eye AF and Touch Tracking, it locks onto subjects with tenacious speed and accuracy, allowing you to trust the focus while you concentrate on framing. For smooth handheld shooting, the camera features a 5-axis in-body image stabilization system. This can be enhanced with the digital “Active Mode,” which is perfect for stabilizing walk-and-talk shots, making it a go-to choice for run-and-gun videography.

S-Cinetone is a picture profile based on the color science of Sony's high-end VENICE cinema camera. It's designed to give you a beautiful, cinematic look straight out of the camera with pleasing skin tones and soft highlights, reducing the need for extensive color grading.
For most situations, no. The included top handle provides two professional XLR inputs with phantom power and full manual controls, allowing you to connect high-quality microphones and record pristine audio directly to the camera.
No, the FX3 was specifically designed to solve this problem. It has a built-in cooling fan that allows for extended, uninterrupted recording in all modes, making it far more reliable for professional work than hybrid cameras without active cooling.
The EVF was removed to make the body more compact, improve heat dissipation, and provide more space for essential video features like mounting points. In most cinema applications, an external monitor is preferred for focusing and framing.
It is an outstanding choice. The FX3 shares the same S-Cinetone and S-Log3 profiles, making it incredibly easy to match the footage in post. Its tiny footprint makes it perfect for mounting on gimbals, drones, or in tight spaces where a larger camera won't fit.
