What are your favorite accessories for camera rigs? Id love to hear about pieces i maybe dont know about to improve my setup!

@2chrispy2handle 3 месяца назад

Hey Thomas, what matters box are you using

@Steve-ul6pe Год назад

Hi Thomas, I have been using the BMPCC4K for about two years now and it's a great camera. I see that you are sharing a single battery between the camera and the monitor. Just to let you know there are a number of RU-vid videos which have identified a problem with that configuration since after some time it will damage the internal HDMI chip within the camera. It seems that the common battery power supplied to the monitor can cause it to generate an HDMI voltage difference as compared to the HDMI voltage utilized within the camera and after some time the camera HDMI interface chip will fail. The solution is to use a separate battery attached to the back of the monitor to supply the monitor power.

@AdrianoEdits 8 месяцев назад

the solution is just to plug power cable BEFORE plugging the HDMI. If you do this you will never have any issue

@PJ_May Год назад

Great video. Been using the 4k for a couple for years now and the way I rig it up is constantly evolving, this has given me some ideas for some upgrades!

@mitsubishimakes Год назад

Great video! I just got my Pocket 4K and this is one of the most in depth rigging videos I've seen thus far

@LogaFilms Год назад

One accessory I find very useful is SmallRig's Lens Mount Adapter Support. It connects the Metabones Speedbooster to the camera cage via the little tripod foot at the bottom. This prevents the camera from twisting in the cage (I had that happen to me all the time) by adding a third point of contact. Makes the whole thing rock solid, highly recommended!

honestly one of the best rigs ive seen out there. thanks.

I love that baseplate I initially didn't get it because it was meant for their 6K Pro cage but it's universal, also thank you for the NATO rail recommendation I just ordered one. The other SmallRig NATO rail I have is low profile but connects with two 1/4 20 screws and they loosen up over time, the 3/8ths connection with locating pins should be much stronger

Literally got my Nitze Lil Stinger 2 today and experienced the same problem, so I have to get a nato rail. The reason it doesn't fit is that the female nato section on the handle is actually not adjustable. I compared it to other nato handles I have, bummer. Awesome rig man!!

@film_advance Год назад

@EmeraldAudiovisual Год назад

Smallrig have the Dual 15mm Rod Battery Hinge MD2802, that would be able to screw into the back of the rods, IF you are using Smallrig or Niceyrig rods with threads. That way you can get the V-mount tucked in even closer to the camera and still have it tiltable.

@thomasjmcclure Год назад

I was actually gonna get one to use for this rig, then remembered i had a spare monitor mount and didn’t wanna spend the money lol. It looks great though

@EMAD-13 Год назад

how will the battery hinge 2802 screw into the rods if theyre both 15mm? Sorry I'm new to this and not sure how to rig my camera out. Thanks

@thomasjmcclure Год назад

@philmaker_ Год назад

I also got the portkeys monitor to control my P4K with it. But after nearly 2 years of using it I gotta say, it's not the perfect solution. Sometimes there are connectivity issues and the control doesn't work. Generally this issue can be fixed quickly, but when you're in a hurry (which is like always the case when on set) this can be really annoying. Also the menu of BM Cameras is just so good, using the menu of the monitor instead which isn't nearly as good is kind of a bad trade. So I find myself still using the controls on my P4K quiet often. But of course having a monitor with the capability to directly control your camera is still a plus. Also: great video, keep it going! Best wishes from germany.

@thomasjmcclure Год назад

I had some connectivity issues with my sonys on this one, the P4K has been pretty flawless so far *fingers crossed*. but yeah the bmd menus are fantastic, i do find i sometimes end up just flicking the battery hinge back to access the menu at times. but its nice to have both options. I also wish the portkeys was 7" but oh well

@philmaker_ Год назад

@@thomasjmcclure Yes you're right, it would be great if the portkeys would be 7''. Especially because your Image gets smaller when you open the control settings.

@zakkbeaty8352 Год назад

Thanks for making such a detailed video! First person I have seen mention that handle, looks fantastic! One question, when you push the battery toward the back of the camera, is it bumping the screen or the top of cam/cage? Every time I mount a V-mount, I run into that issue or have a gap, but yours looks sleek so I thought I'd ask.

@thomasjmcclure Год назад

Thanks! It sits on the rim around the monitor, it takes a little bit of playing around to get it to be in the right spot for sure. You don’t want it hitting the screen, nor do i want a 2 inch gap between the battery and camera

If I wanna act in front my own camera, could it work with either the P4K or with the black magic OG to act and film myself without the need of a camera with continuous auto focus? what lens and what distance should I keep when acting to get the best result if I choose to film with the OG or the P4K and act out monologues in front of it? please suggest! am new to this camera... have the Gh3 but I like to test making short one person plays with a cinema camera, either with P4K or the OG on my own, if even possible without anyone pulling focus for me?!

@hwa_lee Год назад

Thank you for the amazing video! I can't wait to try this out on mine. One question. The item name Smallrig 1636B shown on the screen of the video at 7:49 doesn't seem to show the same rail clamp you are actually using in the video. I also don't see the link for it in the description, so any chance you can provide the link or the correct name?

@thomasjmcclure Год назад

thanks man, yeah honestly i cant find the one i have anywhere on amazon. i bought it years ago. I put the smallrig one in as an alternative option that may work better as its easier to attach it to a singular rail rather than two. I will keep looking and if i find it ill drop a link below

Hi Thomas, have you fried your HDMI port using this setup? I've built it like you, but I'm not sure about powering my monitor from npf or via v mount, thanks!!!

@thomasjmcclure Год назад

I personally haven’t faced that problem, but i have seen many people have that problem with z cams, Komodo’s or bm cameras. You just have to be careful with how you do it. I’d make sure to do your research on the correct order to turning things on. But if you’re nervous about it then I’d stick with seperate power sources

@jeremyevantaylor1724 9 месяцев назад

I really like using the Anton Bauer base battery with my pocket 4k. It allows me to see the main screen, lasts all day, and keeps my rig from falling forward when I set it down if I'm running without rails. QUESTION: Am I right in seeing that you've been able to run power to the camera and the monitor from the same external battery without running into the dreaded ground loop problem?

@r.h.6581 4 месяца назад

Hi! Did you get an answer to your problem? I would like to know if i could power the camera and the monitor trough the same battery (whitout a battery on the monitor)?

@jeremyevantaylor1724 4 месяца назад

@@r.h.6581 I never got an answer from Thomas. Online, I've only gotten the answer that even though some people claim to have found a solution, you're always running the risk of the ground loop problem if you try to power both from the same battery.

@kamilandrzejkowicz 8 месяцев назад

Hey. I like the video and the time you have spent to make it very detailed and valuable. All accessories you used are worth considering other than a lens. I do not get why would anyone (other than RU-vidr) use cinema camera with photography lens. Image is digital and you have poor control over pulling focus. Other than that quality of your content is impressive. Keep going!

@thomasjmcclure 7 месяцев назад

I think the image quality and usability of the 18-35 is fantastic as a photography lens, the cine version of that lens is waaaay more expensive. so for the price i think its great, and works fine. but yes cinema lenses are definitely more ideal in many circumstances, for cinema cameras

The 4K, 6k and 6k pro are all a little different, and all have their own cages. The regular 6k would rig up the same with a different cage, but the 6k pro is a very different shape and has a great bright screen on it that adjusts, it doesn’t need rigged up much at all
