Solid video for someone new or someone getting back into filming. Thank you for all your suggestions and can't wait to see new vids about the Sony ZV-E1!!!

Just want to say that this video really inspired me to take the dive and start building my rig. I could not be more happy. Thanks for all the info

I'm doing that right now with my ZV-E10. Definitely going to take some if the gear from that video and see if I could do a varient of this rig using some of the items from the other rig so I don't have to worry about buying a 2nd camera or multiples of the same thing.

I've been getting ready to splurge on the ZVE10 for a year and a half ish and this was such a huge help on figuring out a rig, thank you so much!

Hi! Loved the video! Do you think that with this setup and only one v mount I can go through a whole shooting day?

Another fabulous rig! I currently have the Falcam F38 on the bottom of the SmallRig cage for my ZV-E10. Would the cheeseplate work with it the F38? The rig im aiming towards would be using a PD Power Bank instead of a V Battery as i could use it for other stuff while not filming lol.

Hey man! The only thing I dislike from my own rig, which is partially based on your first video, is actually the side handle! I feel it gets in the way when you try to manual focus. So it normally lives on the right side with a mic

Yo man. Great video. How does it mount to a tripod? Does it require a different mounting system than the standard one you thumbscrew into the bottom of the camera before the cage, and then lock it into the tripod?

thanks chap

Fantastic rig mate! There is no such thing as a bigger cameras only beginner filmmakers. Adding a rig has purpose! People talk about stabilisation lack, etc, but with a rig with handles this helps stability of handheld shots. The battery life issue people talk about, well get a v-mount battery if you want to shot longer, etc. Great video, gained another subscribe from me mate!

You can't be a filmmaker as film is not used in electronic digital cameras. You are a movie/video creator. Learn the difference. All you people still using the term film have yet to realize you don't use film. Film is a long plastic strip with emulsion that reacts to exposure to light. You use an electronic sensor and images are stored on a memory card. Big difference.

Hey, very helpful vid, but how much roughly does this rig wiegh? I'm trying to find a gimbal that I coukd attach to the rig as well possibly, so just wanted to know wieght wise so I can get a gimbal that can handle it. Thank you!

Wonderful rig, I'd suggest you find some bike inner tube or other sort of thin rubber to add between the arca and cheese plates, since you only got one screw for it it will loosen during use (trust me) and one more suggestion would be to buy an angled HDMI adapter for the monitor so the whole rig is more flush on the sides (maybe add it even on the camera port as well) 🙃

What would you use to help with the stabilization of the camera

Should I buy canon t4i for photography

This may be a silly question, but is there ANY way at all to add a follow focus feature to a rig like this? Or would I have to get the rails?

Are there no mounts that would allow you to put The Battery on like the Right Handle side? My small Rig cage has 6 Threads on the left & right I never think about putting anything on the side where the camera ports are tho

Outstanding, Thomas. I came across your very first video with the more expensive rig for the ZV-E10 and thought I would watch this one also. Two weeks ago I was considering selling one of my 3-DSLRs...they have served me well. Then I decided to have some fun and try building a rig. I ended-up with a Neewer universal cage kit with rods, etc. It works but the cage is so over-bearing (especially on the sides of the camera). Question: On your rig set-up, can the monitor be mounted so it is facing outward (i.e., so I could use it to record myself)? Before I take the plunge into the more expensive E-mounts, I want to try the ZV-E10 as I'm restarting my channel. Blessings to you.

The monitor connects to the monitor mount by a single 1/4 thread, so when you attach it to the monitor you can choose which direction in faces. So before you attach it to the mount or to the cage, you can just flip it around. Or some monitor mount also allow you to swing the monitor around without detaching it

So the zve10 cannot export raw video to the ninja V. That feature is reserved for their cinema line as far as i know. It’s restricted by the micro hdmi.
