@@brian.durkee “The use of P-Tap cables to power accessories connected to the camera should be avoided, as the P-Tap's power pin may make contact before the ground pin and the accidental flow of current may damage the camera.” This was the reasoning for it but based on your response this couldnt or shouldnt be a problem if you follow the SDI protocol right?
Надеюсь, в ближайшее время у меня получится снимать так же классно как и ты. Пока ещё не купил камеру, но очень внимательно присматриваюсь к чёрной магии. Спасибо за твои работы.
I will admit that I'm just being lazy not looking this up myself but would this work with the Blackmagic 6k pro camera? They're essentially the same body, yeah?
@@brian.durkee thanks man. That's a well put together video and you might be FORCING me to buy all this stuff. So, on the one hand I think you and on the other I curse you!
Great rig mate! One thing you might want to consider is having spares for those bnc right angle adaptors. I've heard from a couple video assistants that the life cycle of those can be quite short.
What a beautiful calming film you made, it really felt like I was traveling with you, I was buying this lens and your work gave me go sign, this lens looks delicious. 🤩 Would you mind if I ask what lut do you use for grading ? 😄
Looking at building this out, but wondering if I need to get a Vario 5-- how much does this weigh fully rigged? (Currently going through and adding up all the parts with website descriptions but maybe you'll beat me to it. lol)
She definitely hefty! If running all day with bigger lenses would recommend something’s bigger than mini max (atlas orions for example) otherwise minimax can get the job done! If need to run without easyrig you can just put on shorter rails smaller lens take of the extra handles and it’s pretty manageable!
With loosening two knobs and unplugging cables you can pull just the body, battery and handle out in 30 seconds, then just take off the handles and it’s mountable!
If you just unscrew the rosette part of the handle but leave the part that connects to the body on, you can technically switch to gimbal mode without use of any tools which is super nice
@@brian.durkee do you have any thoughts if i should save money for better Lighting or buying a 1000 generation w/full AC kit. Any creators you know to recommend for AC kits etc?
@@Oddleif-DP3 just depends what you wanna do! If you want to AC more then AC kit, if you want to shoot or light more than lights make more sense! Not off the top of my head, there needs to be more AC content creators maybe!
I mean this is cool and all, some clever building but it doesn't hide the fact that this is the most overbuild and overthinked camera package I've ever seen. Let this poor komodo out of its chastity cage. You're not supposed to edge your camera like this bro.
Not gonna lie, it's almost identical to what I have for my Pocket 6K (OG). Having top rails is a game changer for rigging and adds so much real estate while not making the rig too long. Awesome rig. Thanks for sharing!
This is pretty dope build. Lots of extra weight for sure. Can't wait till portkeys has a UI update and the wired version works as well as the SMALLHD version. Also the shape handles are the best!
Would be nice! I just don't find those as common and this will hold pretty well/is standard for most camera builds so you can slide the plate forward/backward a bit
I was thinking about making’s a raptor style handle from smallrig pieces but i couldnt figure out on how to attach the 4 rods to the backplate. The nato rail is a genius solution. Blew my mind. Get some tennis / baseball grip tape and wrap it around , it will be much more grippy . You can poke the screw holes and the arri pins with a metal rod afterwards.
I've been using a Ranger for a few years and I've always thought about extending the handle at the back to give me something to hold when on jib / dolly. Still grabbing the battery but these are definitely nice solutions that don't cost an absurd amount.
Do you have a similar crazy rig for BMPCC 6k 1Gen asking for a friend. Great video btw<3 I never thought about building a rig like that to manipulate two handles on the opposite end.
