I’m so glad to see you still reply to all your comments on this video. I recently got a killer deal on G9 and I’m falling in love with the camera but it has a 10 minute record limit with 4K/60 which I’ve heard I can get around with the Ninja. what I can’t figure out anywhere is how long you can record on the ninja with one battery. Do you happen to have a ballpark idea of how long you could go on that battery without need to stop and swap? Thanks in advance.

@ScottBell

4 жыл бұрын

Hey, thanks for the comment. The record time on the Ninja 100% depends on the battery size and quality. With a large NPF battery I'd say 60 minutes is your max record time, but probably closer to 30-45 mins in most cases with average quality batteries. The Ninja also comes with a dummy battery that plugs into the wall so you can run it non-stop. You could also look into a v-mount solution. Good luck!

I love that SmallRig mounting thingamajig (SMALLRIG Field Monitor Holder Mount with Quick Release NATO Clamp - 2100, add it to your affiliate links!). I saw that on another video and it's made my life with field recorders so much easier. It's pricey for what it is ($50). There's also a screw-on for $40 and an ARRI Standard mount for $50, but the NATO mount is the one I end up using as I can switch it out for a handle or any random thing. It works well for the heavy Shogun Inferno (which I had serious trouble supporting) and the Ninja V which I use now.

Hello. I tried the Viltrox. I can't say if it's less sharp than the Metabones, but it did notwork with a manual Rokinon lens which works fine on the Metabones. For that reason alone I decided to spend a bit extra and get the quality Metabones. The Sigma is a bit heavy but I haven't found a need for a lens support. I'm frequently switching to a m43 lens for telephoto shots so having the lens support would be annoying to take off all the time. Thanks for watching!

FANTASTIC VIDEO. Back in 1979, when I first started to go to gigs, WE WERE ALWAYS SEARCHED FOR RECORDING EQUIPMENT. Not every gig but at most gigs, we were frisked by security then allowed in, SONY PRO TAPE RECORDER was the best recorder at the time to have but other manufacturers were making good tape recorders and as for video tape recorders, they did exist on a professional level but for main stream public level, they did not exist but slowly, during the eighties, they could be hired from certain electrical stores but were extremely expensive to buy. ALL THEM BANDS, CONCERTS, FESTIVALS that took place back in the day that occurred but never recorded by the band, just because the band or even the manager or show promoter SAID NO. WE WILL NOT RECORD THIS EVENT TONIGHT. I did like the tape traders in the eighties though. These guys alone promoted bands just by sending tapes to other countries if the punter was willing to listen to new up and coming bands and old concerts on tapes. FANTASTIC TIMES. Now with modern technology at hand, go to a gig now, just as the band hits the stage, EVERY ONE WHACKS OUT THEIR PHONE AND RECORDS THE SHOW. GOOD THING AND BAD THING. LET OTHERS RECORD THE SHOW and you DANCE AND MOVE TO THE MUSIC. THATS WHY YOU CAME TO THE SHOW. NO ONE MOVES AND SWEATS ON THE FLOOR NO MORE. SWEAT =GREAT SHOW. COME AND ENJOY THE SHOW. LET THE BAND SEE YOU MOVING TO THEIR MUSIC AND HAVING FUN. THE BAND THEN REACTS TO YOUR ADRENALINE AND THEY NOTCH UP ANOTHER GEAR. ENJOY THE SHOW PEOPLE.

Thanks, Scott. Can you say what you have the camera's mic setting on when you use the little Rode mic? I most often use other Rode mics for the ambient sound with the camera set to -12db + gain on the external mic. I get the concert audio from the board. Of course, that is not what you were addressing in this video. But we do use the little Rode for B-Roll. Do you have the camera set for auto, since it has no settings on the mic? Do you get much camera motor noise? The next question no one has been able to answer. We are supposed to be able to shoot continuous on the GH5. However, it does spit the concert into about 3 clips during an hour long performance. How can I keep one continuous file so that it is easy to synch with the entire board audio. I am the house photographer at The Freight & Salvage in Berkeley. I often shoot alone running one main camera. on a tripod, while navigating around the venue with a monopod for B-Roll. I would love to run the main camera until intermission. I would be grateful for your response.

@ScottBell

4 жыл бұрын

Hey Irene, I have my GH5 set to -12 db. There is plenty of volume put out by this tiny mic that this gives me some safety from clipping and I can always raise levels a bit in post if needed. On your second question, there is no way to avoid the file being split up. That said, it's still a continuous recording so you just need to sync the first clip with the audio and the rest can be dropped into the timeline in order following it and everything will be in sync. The only way to avoid this would be to shoot with an external recorder like the Ninja V. Best of luck!

You need to use light to your advantage. And having a lens with a very wide aperture like the Sigma 18-35 helps a lot in situations where you need lots of light to get to the sensor. I try to keep my ISO at 800 or lower when possible but will go up to 1200 if needed.

Scott Bell Nice! Zcam E2 looks nice, I just sold my BMPCC4k yesterday, it was slowing my work flow with the huge file sizes! I have now a EOS R as “A Cam” when I need to fly on a gimbal, AF, Low Light and quick B-Roll, my GH5 is a my B-Cam, I sold my Gh5s because oh boy I missed the IBIS soooooo much! Specially when shooting event such weddings and trying to capture peoples emotions with the camera shaking looks like I am in a action movie 😂.

I have shot a lot of concerts with the GH4 and more recently, the G9, and I use a much more stripped down body than you. Two cams, black rapid, 12-35 and the 35-100. It's just so easy to get well lit footage at the sort of shows I shoot that I don't have any real need to use lenses from other formats. I shoot a lot of bigger shows though, in arenas or outdoor festivals, so I barely have to do any work, I guess.

Nice, sounds like a good setup for your needs.

Amazing review man and incredible footage. I've been struggling to replicate the footage I see online with my GH5 and I feel it's probably due to having the 12-35 f2.8 and it not really letting a lot of light in for indoor/lower light situations. The Sigma 16mm F1.4 I have is great and makes me inclined to switch to the 18-35 Sigma like yourself. Will test the Sigma 18-35 shortly as a friend has one and see if that helps out.

Thanks for watching Ryan. Glad it was helpful. Having a bit wider aperture than the 12-35 definitely gives you a lot more flexibility. I use the Sigma lens nearly every shoot so you won't be disappointed. It's just heavy!

Hi - Thanks that's great information. Question 1 - do you edit off the SSD or do you copy the files to your computer and edit on that. 2 on the Ronin S which lens do you use.

@ScottBell

You can edit of the drive but I tend to dump it to my desktop editing drive so the ssd is freed up for future shooting. I run the sigma 18-35 a lot on the Ronin s but run all my lenses on the gimbal sometimes. Thanks for watching.

Hi, thanks. Just Curious what you think of the new S1H given what your thoughts are on size and weight of a rig balanced with the full-frame low light and loads of other things the new camera has, I, m assuming you are manual focusing?

Hey, thanks for the comment. I am all manual focus. I haven't given much thought to any of the new cameras on the market aside from the BMPCC4K. I'm overall super happy with the GH5 for my needs so don't see much reason to dive down another rabbit hole :) I've been focusing most of my gear thinking on lenses lately. Looking to get some more Canon glass to expand my kit.

Hello Scott Thank you very much Scott for your quick response, which helped me a lot. I'm looking forward to your videos. I have subscribed to your channel. Allow me to add a supplementary question: You can have a ready bag just for this shown equipment GH5 + Ninja V + RODE Mic - which you can always access quickly. Thanks again and have a nice day. Best regards to you Scott Roland

Thanks for the sub. Glad it was helpful. I don't have a great bag that holds this setup assembled. I usually use my Mindshift Rotation 180 (amzn.to/2lHvsbg) but doesn't work well with the NinjaV attached. Generally I put the setup together when I get to my location and just hold it the whole day.

Hi Scott. Great video, but why dont you consider switching to the GH5S and then throw it on a glidecam or a gimbal to get that better low light capability. I love the stabilization on the gh5, but you could win a lot for your type of work with the GH5S. /pete

Hey Peter, I'd like to pickup a GH5s as a second camera eventually. I shoot a lot of outdoor activities so the GH5 serves me best for those things. Concert and event videography is fun but a secondary function for my rig. Thanks for your thoughts and for watching.

That is right. Love the GH5 for outdoor filmmaking and run and gun shooting.

Hello wonderful job. I have a question which is LUt and the setting you use most in low light scenarios? Thanks in advance.

@ScottBell

Hey, thanks for watching. I don't really use LUTs except to change Vlog footage to Rec709 so I can't help you much there.

Your video is very helpful, thanks. Can I ask which picture profile do you use on the GH5?

@ScottBell

Glad it was helpful. I shoot natural, contrast -5, sharpness -5, saturation -2

About the Ninja V, do you ever think you’d be better served with a 7 inch monitor especially since you’d be manually focusing or is 5 inches more than enough?

@ScottBell

I've used some 7 inch monitors (shogun inferno being one) and they are great. Just a bit less compact. I like small rigs for live shows as I am sometimes in the crowd and need to squeeze by ppl. I just did a video about my 3 favourite monitors. Check it out!

What's that tiltable piece on your rig that the ninja is mounted on? Looks really handy for quickly adjusting the angle without using a friction arm!
