Making the Pocket 6K a REAL Cinema Camera | Shoulder Rig 

Big fan of these rig builds. I'm a silent viewer; don't really comment on videos often, but just wanted to show my gratitude here for another good video. Well done

It’s always interesting to see how other people build their camera rigs! Def gonna incorporate a few of these to my 6k rig build.

Thank you bro, you are amazing. I will soon be buying the bm6kp & thanks to you I will be getting this exact rig 🔥🔥🔥

Awesome rig, thanks for sharing!

Incredible Rig build!

Great thing about this rig is that its universal. Great video I'm going to be incorporating it for my bmmcc.

You inspire me so much! Thanks!

Nice rig ! The only thing that I always find missing in rigs similar to yours (I got something similar for me) is somehow a middle/center handle between the two existing ones. I think that the camera would be much more stabilized if while focusing with the left hand the right hand to hold instead a middle handle instead of the right one... I noticed that in my shots and I wished in many cases to have been able to salvage a little bit 'too shaky' footage.

Great video, thanks for this

Finally someone using a D-Tap splitter :D I've been wondering the whole time why everyone has a fat V-Mount on their rig but still use single batteries for all their accesoires :D

Fantastic content. I can’t decide whether whether to go with Blue Kondor or SmallRig when I eventually get my Pocket4K. Armando Ferreira’s video on his Blue Kondor rig was pretty enticing. Tilta is a bit too expensive and I know SmallRig has the most options when it’s comes to modularity, which is a huge plus.

I have subscribed can't wait to see More video's like this.. I am also working on mine and last thing that I need it was base plate...

Great rig! I do something very similar but with the Tilta cage and the Sound Devices MixPre-3

Hi! Thanks for the tip below about large camera bags! Internal ND is very recent feature on 'cinema' cameras in the last 7 years or so and is not standard or even used on high end cameras where there is a AC. I think sometimes narrative shooting gets mixed up with documentary (or wedding) productions where you have to react fast to get the shot. We've all considered or bought the BMPCC because of low cost raw which IMO compensates for things like internal NDs. You could also save money by having a lens mounted ND filter on all the time and using one of the programmable buttons to quickly switch from INT to EXT settings.

love the in between clips. reminds me of a luggage carousel

Finall the next one came

Chadwin! I just found your channel because im looking for a BMPC 6k kit! this may be it..just want to say thanks for your video, sub'd and hit that bell! Keep it coming im tuned in!

Great video thank you! If you want a friction arm that you can hold a rig from and have it super tight, check out the Bright Tangerine Titan Arm. I used one on set a couple weeks ago and I’ve change my outlook on them!

You're definitely the "Rig Master"!

this is nice great job!!!!!!

Me encanta y ya lo quiero 😅

Pretty cool setup 🙂

Great tutorial! I just took the plunge and ordered by BMPCC6K and rig! Do you have a camera bag you recommend to hold all these parts that you used for your rig?

Had to replay the "drop in" intro 😂. We got to squad up! I use my GH5, but my rig is constantly changing. Haven't found a comfortable setup yet 😲

excellent thanks 👍

Nice rig! Just curious as of why you mount the Nucleus Wheel by the lens and not down by the handle, any specific reasoning?

I have the Rokinon Cine Ds set of 6 lenses. Not a huge fan of the wider options but perhaps I need more time in the field with them. Do you have any links to projects you've shot with the 24mm? Also, how is latency with a wireless follow focus? I have the same monitor but there is a delay coming out of the P4K out the gate. Is it pretty terrible with the added transmitter/receiver mixed into the equation?

Great video man!! I really enjoy these equipment videos ^^ . I just can't find the monitor mount. Is this mount from Smallrig?

I think you can try mounting the focus wheel right on the handle too

what a sexy rig ! love it !

good job sir

thank you for such a useful video content + links

Hello there! Very nice rig! I was wondering , didn't you have a problem with frying hdmi ports or something like that? I heard that connecting monitor and camera to the same vmount could cause a problem. What's your experience on that?

They did it! They added VND filters to the Pocket 6k Pro!

Chadwin, great video. Thx for the ideas. Why do use a dummy battery rather than plugging the camera into the plate?

Just need to add that the connector going into the camera is not a LEMO, but a Weipu SF610/s2.

Hey there! How has the v mount battery held up the past 6 months? Still recharging fully and working as it first did? Thanks!

Since half of these items are no longer available, could you provide me with an updated list of comparable parts I could get, since B&H sent me things that just don't achieve this same rig :( I would really appreciate the help on this. I don't need the matte box, lens, or Transmitter at this time, but everything else, yes, just much of it is no longer on Amazon or elsewhere

Your channel is addictive. Especially the rigging. No one seems to do rigging videos. Upcoming filmmaker from Kenya.💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Would you not consider a lens hood and a screw in VND ?

One thing I do want to comment on specifically though is with this current build would you say it’s not exactly ideal though for lens swaps? Or that there are some tweaks you could make to make a “quicker” lens swap more doable?

do you have a link to the variable nd filter you used with matte box?

How do you like the Hollyland Cosmo 600? The latency low enough for focus pulling?

Why did you plug the dtap splitter into the battery? Wouldn't you just plug it into the vmount plate? Otherwise, what's the point of the vmount plate, unless it doesn't have any power going to it? That way, you could switch batteries out much easier.

Wow

Awesome review Question: how did you manage to add video to the wireless transmitter, since that monitor doesn’t have HDMI out ?

seems a bit front heavy no? You have the option, why not put the Cosmos at the back also?

nice set-up rig I have 18-105 sony, im looking for clamp to fill the gap on the matte box can you please help?

Who else smashed that bell! So cool how the items came off what seemed like a futuristic vending machine!

How much is one of those magic gear appear tunnels?

How do you connect the hollyland to the bmpcc, when you use the portkey? To the portkey ?

from a small camera we move on to a big thing.

Damn you should throw up a total cost at the end! It seems like a totally viable rig. I'm stuck between getting the Pocket 4K and decking it out or getting the 6K with barebones equipment.

I wish I wasn't 6'8 and I could use a shoulder rig 😭

Hey man! Question, have you had any issues recording to the Samsung T5 SSD 1TB? I just bought 2 for the 6K PRO but blackmagic says its not compatible for the 6K/6KPRO.

How much does it weigh? Isn’t better to just get the Ursa mini pro?

How Heavy is ist? Cause i usually like to and some extra weight to my smaller rigs

I just love the way things slip or fall to the camera as they are introduced

I'm having trouble getting enough weight on the back of the rig to get steady footage when walking with it. Any thoughts?

You are going to fry the HDMI port if you power both the camera and the monitor from the same power source, i did it luckily Black Magic Design repaired my camera under warranty and i am so grateful to them. Please update your rig, the Portkey monitor needs its own battery.

how much did all the pieces cost?

I read CRIINGE on the thumbnail :D

That riser is currently unavailable. Any comparable ones that you can think of?

Good rig but why wouldn’t you put that follow focus wheel directly on the handle so you can keep holding the camera in a steady position when you want to pull focus

What short or feature films have you made?

Everything is awesome but how much the whole thing costs?

Final price?

Hey! My rig is not balanced, it's heavier in the front, any suggestion to balance it?

I'm afraid, you can get problems with your vision if you look at your monitor at this small distance. If you're using a regular camera viewfinder, it's not an issue, because you can adjust its optics to keep your eyes accommodated to infinity, which is most suitable for normal vision. It could be a sign of myopia if you feel comfortable looking at your monitor at this distance. Unfortunately, I cannot see enough proper solutions to this problem on the market. What do you think about it?

Can you attach the battery grip of the camera with the cage on?

DOOD!

No EVF?

total price

how much for this entire kit so I can gauge whether it's in my price range

The monitor mount link doesn't work for me :( That's the thing I really want too haha)

Can you do a video on Audio?

I want this camera, please give it

fortnite sound effect ;D 0:12

The 1tb T5 isn't supported for any b-raw recording

what cord do you use that goes from the ssd into the camera. i’m currently using the cord that came w the ssd but it’s just too flimsy for me

Please show footage differences also as none of your videos has it

[Hi there, director with two years experience here of camera op here. I do all my rigging and shoot a lot of of handheld and shoulder mounted stuff.] I'm going to say what I don't like in this video because getting an imperfect rig is going to make you miserable, and you'll tire quickly, and you won't like the end result. This is all said because I, myself, have had the same issues, and comes from a place of sharing =) at 14:25, when he actually uses the rig is when you can see all the problems manifest. So, a quick list : - This rig is hella unbalanced. All your weight is distributed towards the front, except for the V-Mount which isn't nearly enough far back to actually counterbalance. You usally want your camera body to be over your shoulder, centerweighted, as your lens + monitor and your V-Lock/gold mount usually balance themselves out. All that weight will be on your arms. which brings us to... - Your handles are way too short or way too long. You can either go the very hard action "mattebox grabbing" stye (Michael Bay likes to shoot handheld like this for instance), SHane hurlbut talked about it in a video, in which case you would mount handles as close to the mattebox (on a properly balanced rig) OR the very smooth way and more confortable for the operator, with longer handles, allowing the arms to rest at a 90° angle, elbows resting along the ribs. Also, you need to set your handles so your wrist are straight, or you'll be miserable pretty quickly. You can see on the video his wrists are bended all weird, not a comfortable position, especially with all that weight. - I would recommend getting a beveled shoulder pad, which allows you to actually stand straight and have your camera leveled. You can see in the video he kinda lifts his shoulder and stands a bit weird to compensate. This gets tiring really quick. - Finally, that monitor is too close. In the video, you see he has to cramp his neck backwards. This also eats your ability to perform properly on a long day. And it's just unpleasant. Hope this helps ! A rig should be just more weight on your knees, and nothing else. That's why it's so important to fine tune yours =)

And when you wanna shot on a gimbal? You must dissamble every time or have another camera only for gimbal shots, thats'me fell crazy🤕

Please don't tell me you actually rolled the lens down that metal ramp...

Im a gay male and I don't remember seeing more handsome creature than this setup

You're missing an EVF...,

This is really nice but I kinda cringed when you're literally making a shoulder rig with a wireless follow focus... and you put the follow focus at the top of the camera instead of on the arms where you hands are...

Pocket cameras will never be more than a children's toy.

LOL imagine having money

if you rearrange the letters in the thumbnail you get '6k criinge'

None of these cameras have viewfinders or decent zooms. Must not work outside much.

I thought the thumbnail said 6K cringe

you are potentially frying your camera with that cheap lemo to dtap connector

So cheesy

Did he call a CINEMA camera a DSLR, and then tile the video turn a CINEMA camera into a CINEMA camera. Whatever it's RU-vid, BTW a DSLR is a camera that has a mirror. This camera is a true Cinema camera that just happens to be shaped like a DSLR. That is why it suck for photos. It even says it in the name Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 4/6K. But, clickbait I guess.
