Sony FX30 Teardown and Disassembly
Written by: Phillip Andrew Iglesias
The Sony FX30 Mirrorless Camera is one of the more affordable offerings of their Cinema Line. It manages to hang around the likes of the FX3, FX6, and VENICE cinema cameras. The key difference with the FX30 compared to Sony’s other offerings is that the camera operates with a smaller 20.1 APS-C sensor. We’ve previously disassembled the Sony FX3, so we’re excited to have the opportunity to teardown this camera and see how it compares!
The FX30 is compatible with our Magnetic Clip-in Filters for Sony APS-C cameras with the use of our magnetic mounting plate. It is also capable of being converted for infrared photography and videography through our full-spectrum conversion service.
As always, the baseplate should be tackled first when it comes to camera disassembly. The FX30 baseplate seemed to have two separate parts. The first part of the baseplate, the central metal cover, was held down by eight screws.
For the main frame of the baseplate, we removed one screw that was hidden beneath the leather skin on the SD card side of the camera, plus two more screws under the camera. Once that part comes off, an inner metal frame just comes off easily.
Miscellaneous screws surrounding the entire body’s frame were necessary to remove to lift off the backside of the camera.
Flipping the backside of the camera, there is one ribbon cable that keeps the connections in tact.
After removing the back, we started to remove other extraneous screws surrounding the entire frame of the boy. With the FX30, there are many hidden screws within the nooks and crannies of the frame.
One screw holds down this metal bracket. It’s possibly used as a spacer.
We’ve previously removed the surrounding screws, but there was one more left that allowed us to remove the port side cover.

The next part to remove is the top of the camera. Several screws hold it in place, and two ribbon cables connect it to the circuitboard.

Removing the circuitboard can get messy quick because of the multiple connection points—this includes screws, wires, and ribbon cables. In the case of this camera, there were four screws, three wires, and seven ribbon cables altogether.
Here is the circuitboard removed from the camera frame.
Removing the circuitboard lands us at the shielding bracket of the camera. There are four screws holding it down. However, we weren’t able to remove the bracket due to another part that was connected to it, which you will see in the following section.
Interestingly, this mini circuitboard of sorts and plastic black bracket prevented the full removal of the shielding bracket. The circuitboard shown here is connected to the shielding bracket via wire.

Finally, we can begin removing the camera sensor. The sensor is held down by three screws and several electrical tape connections to the frame of the body

Generally, Sony mirrorless cameras aren’t difficult to take a part, due to their straightforward setup. This applies more even to their compact-body style cameras, such as the Sony A7CR (even despite being a full frame camera), which we have previously tore down.
