A quick walkthrough and build of my 1st ac handheld wireless follow focus and monitor set up.
Everyone asks me about the L bracket for the battery mount. I didn’t know small rig doesn’t sell that piece on their site. I emailed them and this was their response.
“The unit price is USD 9. You can click the link below to purchase nine 0001 products for a total of USD 9.

Small rig no longer sells the L bracket as shown in the video. I found these possible alternatives. I have not tried or tested these but I think they should work. Buy at your own risk. tinyurl.com/yc8ayekk tinyurl.com/2wu7wbam tinyurl.com/3ru389au

@VIPAH 3 года назад

Beautiful setup man! I was thinking exactly the same thing except i wana get the Teradek Bolt 500 receiver instead, and i got the IDX battery already, but perhaps I'm better off with a Small HD monitor that already has the bolt 500 RX receiver built into the screen and that has a V mount at the back, but it's more expensive going down that path.

@JesseNelsonDP 2 года назад

That’s where I’m headed with this rig. The atomos is already gone and I’m using a smallhd. I have the receiver for the teradek coming

Great video , i only have one question , how do you deal with markers? I'm used to setting marker points and pulling focus also based on them but with the handle sideways you can't really see the screen on side.

@JesseNelsonDP 2 года назад

I typically use a dry erase or grease pen to mark the ring instead of using the screen on the front of the hand unit.

Hey, love this setup! Not sure if you are still running the same setup now, but how good do you find the Ninja V is - any limitations you find annoying?

@JesseNelsonDP 7 месяцев назад

I’m not using that monitor any more. I upgraded to a smallhd cine 7 and cine 13. I found the ninja v great for the price but it’s lacking when it comes to tools like peaking and focus assist. Not that the ninja doesn’t have them as well but the UI and customization the smallhd offers are better suited for my taste.

@TheIQProductions Год назад

Nice! Did you find that the v lock holds up throughout the day? Do you have a spare? Just wondering how long it would last

It holds up great. I have a total of 6 v mounts but I really only need two to last all day

@thekentcreative Год назад

I love this setup, and I want to repeat it for the most part. But I only own gold mount batteries. Do you have a recommendation for a gold mount plate that can be used in a similar manner to the v-lock plate in this rig? I've looked at a lot of plates and I'm not sure what to use.

@JesseNelsonDP Год назад

You could get a wooden camera gold mount and a cheese plate in order to mount it to the rig. This might work woodencamera.com/products/gimbal-handle-bar-bracket-gold-mount?rfsn=6589536.3d595b&_pos=7&_sid=e76be8eaf&_ss=r Or woodencamera.com/products/wc-gold-mount-dual-d-tap?rfsn=6589536.3d595b&_pos=10&_sid=e76be8eaf&_ss=r

@eavanbradley7828 3 года назад

Hi Jesse, Thanks for the info. Can you recommend a focus monitor larger in size.? Or do you think 7" screen is adequate.?

@JesseNelsonDP 3 года назад

Hey Eavan! With this build a 7in monitor is about as big as you can go and still be able to go handheld comfortably. Anything bigger and you would want to build a rig that lives on a stand. Smallhd just announced a 13in monitor that I think would amazing but again that would be something that lives on a stand.

Hi, I have the tilta nucleus nano, for you, what is the best choice for a screen, the most accurate and easy focus peaking?

A smallhd monitor is my go to. You could use, depending on your budget, a 702 touch, Indie 7, Cine 7 or the new ultra 5in. All of those have similar functionality. You can use smallhd.com/jessenelson And use the code JTF10 to get 10% off whatever you decide to purchase. 🤙🤙

@@llllllllllll9. I try to use the cables that come with whichever device I’m adding to the camera, high quality cables are great to have but if you treat the cheaper cables well then you really shouldn’t have a problem. If one breaks or fails then I would use a Alvin’s or something similar if the device doesn’t come with several. I’ve never had a issue with a Alvin’s cable burning or harming anything.

@CRUMBLOUIE 2 года назад

Jess, what is your technique for pulling focus wide open for a scene in which the actors are walking and talking? In a nut shell, how do you hold focus at T1.8 or T1.4?

@JesseNelsonDP 2 года назад

Practice. Get used to how objects or people look when they get closer or farther away from lens while looking at a monitor. There are some aids like focus peaking or hardware like the cine tape or focusbug but nothing beats experience. Practice practice practice.
