Building a camera rig for the tiny Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2!
[Part 2] Designing and assembling various ways of attaching gadgets to my Studio Cameras is very cathartic; I really enjoy expanding their functionality be that in the form of SSD mounts, lighting, microphone or external monitor mounts, carrying handles for stability... pretty much anything you can think of.
Join me today as I show my two main cinema/studio cameras and how I outfitted them with gadgets, devices, and peripherals to extend their capabilities for filming not only inside the studio, but "on the go" (a.k.a. Run-n-Gun!) ...although there is no running nor gunning with the massiveness of the BMPCC4K and it's enormous rigs :-)
