I’ve been a photographer for about 20 years and am taking my very first baby steps into video. I have my rsc2 and was overwhelmed with all of the options for how to customize it.

Amazing setup! I'd like to customise my RS3 Pro setup, with the priority of having the monitor in the center of the build.

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful - I only partnered with them for the RS3, and since I don't own the RS4, I don't know if the RS3 version works on it, but if the battery grip is the same size, then it should work. My opinion is to save money and go with the RS3 though because it's almost identical. The RS4 has only minor upgrades

@noelecontrerasmedia 5 месяцев назад

Do you think SmallRig Wireless Control Dual Handgrip will also work for this setup?

@AlliandWill 5 месяцев назад

Yes, but it would add more weight I believe, which is why I chose to offset as much weight as possible to the belt and go with the regular handles

@yekk__ 5 месяцев назад

Impressive! I don't think this was asked in the comments, but what is your guesstimate hours of use with your 98w battery pack powering both the stabilizer and monitor?

@AlliandWill 5 месяцев назад

To be honest, I don't know because I've never needed to swap to the second battery I own! I used 1 battery for the entire shoot outside which was several hours, and I've also used it multiple times for commercial/corporate shoots without needing to switch. That being said, during those shoots there was down time when I had the gimbal turned off. If I had to guess, I'd say somewhere around 5-8 hours of continuous use, which should be enough for 99% of shoots because of down time, but I could be way off, which is why I own a second battery, just in case! It's become somewhat of a luxury to me that I don't need to change batteries on the monitor or gimbal and that I can just trust it's always good. I've been thinking about connecting my DTap splitter and running a dummy battery to the camera, or USB-C so I don't need to change the camera battery as well.

@Tonellacam 8 месяцев назад

Is this the regular RS3 or the RS3 pro ? I’m leaning on getting the RS3 and definitely want to go your route you went here

@AlliandWill 8 месяцев назад

It's the RS3 Pro. For paid professional work or if you're doing video work seriously, I'd suggest the Pro version. More features, can handle larger cameras, suited more for pros. I have a link in the description for the pro version from Amazon 👍

@nero043010 7 месяцев назад

What are you using to power your camera? I'm on a blackmagic pocket 4k, and the battery life is garbage. I don't think my RS3 can accommodate an external batter, though?

@AlliandWill 7 месяцев назад

I’m using the normal battery in the camera but with my setup you could use the dtap splitter cable (I think I have it linked), and then go from dtap to dummy battery for your camera 👍

@sundaydickson 10 месяцев назад

Nice rig there. Your link to the external monitor seems to change, can you give an exact monitor link, make and model? Is there a video for the exact 'How to' of your connecting this monitor-camera-gimbal setup? 🤔

@AlliandWill 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! The monitor was discontinued, unfortunately, so I provided an updated 'second best' option in the links. I have an updated 'breakdown' video on how I connected the monitor, but basically, if you buy all the pieces I linked for it (Plate, magic arm and the swivel piece), it will allow you to connect it all from the back of the new plate. (Check some of the other comments here as well for context as I've helped a couple others as well)

@AdProductionPH 8 месяцев назад

nice setup! i’ve been following along all the details you have here. Where did you get the long cable dtap to power the digitalfoto powerbase? or is the powerbase comes along with that long cable?

With this setup can you mount the monitor anywhere else but behind the camera? I like this setup but I’d like to have another option as well

Technically you can mount the monitor somewhere else, but I would HIGHLY suggest keeping it where I have it as I’ve tried so many other options and this is the only one that felt right and has the most use cases

I recently picked up the same base plate. Did you have any trouble with the lock switch not engaging when attaching the Digitalfoto base?

@bwest6275 5 месяцев назад

I wonder - would this also work with the new RS4 (non-pro)?

@AlliandWill 5 месяцев назад

I’m not sure! I don’t own the RS4, and I only have experience with the RS3 Pro, but if the battery mount at the bottom uses the same battery grip as the RS3 Pro, then it should work. That being said, the RS4 Pro isn’t really that big of an upgrade. It’s bigger, which is not ideal for my needs, and has an easy way to switch the camera to vertical, which also isn’t needed for my needs. Other than that, it has slightly better motor torque, but the RS3 motors are more than enough for the Sony A7siii, a heavy lens and some accessories. I won’t be upgrading for those reasons. My opinion is it would be better to save money and buy the RS3 Pro at this point 👍

@Idlmediafl 3 месяца назад

Would the “DigitalFoto Powerbase with NATO” be compatible with the RS4 Pro?

@auxlife Год назад

How about using Tilta "Dual Handle Power Supply Bracket for DJI Ronin"? I think it's almost same but also we can use battery grip itselft.

@AlliandWill Год назад

It definitely is an option, but that means you have the battery weight on the gimbal still. With my setup you have no battery weight on the gimbal which means longer shooting and less back pain! So for that reason, I decided against those handles.

@robert_starling 8 месяцев назад

@MuraliGattoji Год назад

How do you focus the subjects? What techniques are you using while using two handles

@AlliandWill Год назад

The same focus techniques that have been used for many decades on professional large productions, as well as modern techniques! Parallaxing around the subject without moving closer, starting out of focus and moving into focus, having another assistant on set pull focus with a wireless follow focus system (I have a review video coming up for that soon), or leveraging the incredibly good auto focus systems built into the camera that has eye tracking and subject tracking.

I bought the power base but it’s loose? I bought the one from the link, it falls when I try to film

@AlliandWill 2 месяца назад

Hey, you can fix it really easily with a small piece of tape. I’ve answered this before in the comments, but basically, on one side of the power base, where it connects, add a small piece of tape (like 1/4” by half inch), like gaffers tape or duct tape, you may need a second layer, but that will allow it to lock. Most don’t need it, but the manufacturing seems to be off on some units. If you need further instruction, DigitalFoto put up a short video on their site as well I believe. Hope that helps!

The monitor is a long term investment, and so are the vmount batteries plus some of the cables, making the actual investment over the long term less as the monitor/batteries/cables can be used for other setups. Not including the gimbal and monitor, the setup is probably under $750 Maybe $2000-2500 including gimbal and monitor. Sooo much cheaper than my previous gimbal which was like $7k 😅

Great build Will! Curious, in the video at 7:26, I get that you used the Manfrotto plate that has the 1/4" 20 female thread on the underside rear of the plate. I get that you used the little SmallRig friction arm, the 1/4" 20 male into the plate. But to attach the other end, which is 1/4" 20 male to your Small HD monitor mount with tilt, doesn't the end of the Small Rig arm have 1/4" 20 male and don't the monitor mounts also usually have a 1/4" 20 male also? How did you get rid of one of the male connectors and replaced it with a 1/4" 20 female? I have several SmallRig and other brand monitor mounts and none them have 1/4" 20 female taps on the bottom, I'm stumped how you attached? Can you clarify?

@AlliandWill Год назад

Thanks for watching and commenting. For sure; There’s a swivel adapter product that was released within the last couple years by small rig (others have it too), which allows you to connect it to the bottom of the monitor and to the end of the friction arm. It came with my monitor, but you can buy it by itself too. I’ll make a note to update that part in the links for the exact one I’m using in the next day or two.

What cable is that to connect to the nato battery?

@AlliandWill 11 месяцев назад

All links are in the description. The cable that connects to the battery comes with the DigitalFoto power base 👍

Would be amazing if it had 2x d-tap out for dummy battery and monitor

@AlliandWill Год назад

In the video i mention a dtap splitter, which I believe ive linked in the description; that will do what you need :)

@SoundAndAmbience Год назад

@@AlliandWill I've seen that. It's just not as elegant a solution as having it natively

@AlliandWill Год назад

@@SoundAndAmbience That's unfortunately the reality to custom builds! Hope the rest of the build ideas work for you!

@SoundAndAmbience Год назад

@AlliandWill that's true! Don't think you said in the video, how many amps is the V mount you are using? I was wondering if a 6 amp would power monitor the camera and gimble

I don’t recall off the top of my head, but If you click the link for the battery in the description, it’ll bring you to the product where it has the details :)

Interesting setup, was just reading the reviews on the powerbase, it seems the slack and wiggle is still there. A buyer made a review 2 month ago and says there is still a gap, while you say it is "fixed"? hmmm

@AlliandWill 4 месяца назад

The initial wiggle was massive, to the point that it would not lock. The current version might be off on some of them, but it is incredibly easy to fix with a piece of duct tape if you feel that yours doesn't lock as tightly as you'd like. Mine was fine, most are, but sometimes imperfections happen during manufacturing. Again, a small piece or two of duct tape on one of the sides will completely solve the problem.

@@AlliandWill exactly what I was thinking, small added padding

@@AlliandWill to add.. found a video of them showing how to connect it. Pressing the lock button on the gimbal. They posted it a month ago it seems. This would lock it tight

@BradMitchellBrokerAssociate 3 дня назад

It doesn't look like the RS3, it looks like the RS3 Pro. The weight constraints and carbon fiber body are vastly different

@AlliandWill 2 дня назад

This is for the RS3 Pro, I mention this in the video a few times. It may work on the rs3 though if the battery grip is the same.

I don't think having batteries on you and a cable attached outweighs the length of the DJI battery. It's not that long without the tripod on the bottom and at least you have another handle to grab if you need it. You're not really gaining anything at all in my opinion.

@AlliandWill Год назад

I disagree. I’ve shot commercial content for big brands for the last 12+ years and have rented/used numerous gimbal combinations and have owned numerous gimbals over the last 8 years. Without a doubt, off setting the weight, and making the unit smaller provides significantly longer shooting times and options for fitting the gimbal in smaller places. The gimbal in this configuration is like 5” shorter and weighs less too. I recently shot a project for KFC with this exact build and it was sooo much better. I could shoot longer takes before getting tired and I was able to do creative shots close up over a table dressed up with food products

@Nightlife-zv1fm Год назад

@@AlliandWill Not sure if you have seen the Tilta dual handle support that includes one grip. It looks like you use the original DJI grip on the other side. Both handle power the gimbal and it does away with the cable. Both handles have controls on them. Also the handles are pointing up instead of down which makes it even more compact and I'd imagine the weight would be better distributed. It looks amazing.

@AlliandWill Год назад

That means the battery weight is on the gimbal. In my setup there are no gimbal or monitor batteries on the gimbal, so it’s definitely lighter which means longer takes. If you prefer that setup, go for it, but I’ve used full cage Freefly M15 gimbals with cinema cameras, full ring gimbal setups, single handle Rs1 gimbals, M5 gimbals and out of every setup, I prefer the one I made (which is based on using all the setups and choosing which elements make the most sense for shooting commercial content as well as run and gun stuff like the clips I shot for fun in the video. I can also turn the handles upright if I want, I just prefer them down. I find I can operate smoother parallaxing shots that way. Thanks for the discussion!
