I am currently building my own custom shoulder rig too. But for now I'm using a Cameron VS800. It works alright and got it on sale $200 off. Something to note about that rode mic is that it sounds really good in outdoor environments. I was doing a small walking scene outside and then rode actually sounded better than our Boom, because the character was talking in almost the exact direction of the camera. Inside we used our boom of course, but always good to have a quality backup :)

Nice rig ! The only thing that I always find missing in rigs similar to yours (I got something similar for me) is somehow a middle/center handle between the two existing ones. I think that the camera would be much more stabilized if while focusing with the left hand the right hand to hold instead a middle handle instead of the right one... I noticed that in my shots and I wished in many cases to have been able to salvage a little bit 'too shaky' footage.

Hi! Thanks for the tip below about large camera bags! Internal ND is very recent feature on 'cinema' cameras in the last 7 years or so and is not standard or even used on high end cameras where there is a AC. I think sometimes narrative shooting gets mixed up with documentary (or wedding) productions where you have to react fast to get the shot. We've all considered or bought the BMPCC because of low cost raw which IMO compensates for things like internal NDs. You could also save money by having a lens mounted ND filter on all the time and using one of the programmable buttons to quickly switch from INT to EXT settings.

@chadwin

3 жыл бұрын

Very well said. Yeah, there aren't internal ND's on many of the ARRI and RED cameras. However, I know many of the cine line up of cameras are starting to add them. But you're totally right, built in VND is much more common for documentary filmmaking where things are extreme run and gun. The BMPCC lineup are great cameras and easy to add external ND to, so it's worth the trade off for many of their benefits like you said.

I'm afraid, you can get problems with your vision if you look at your monitor at this small distance.

It could be a sign of myopia if you feel comfortable looking at your monitor at this distance. Unfortunately, I cannot see enough proper solutions to this problem on the market.

[Hi there, director with two years experience here of camera op here. I do all my rigging and shoot a lot of of handheld and shoulder mounted stuff.] I'm going to say what I don't like in this video because getting an imperfect rig is going to make you miserable, and you'll tire quickly, and you won't like the end result. This is all said because I, myself, have had the same issues, and comes from a place of sharing =) at 14:25, when he actually uses the rig is when you can see all the problems manifest. So, a quick list : - This rig is hella unbalanced. All your weight is distributed towards the front, except for the V-Mount which isn't nearly enough far back to actually counterbalance. You usally want your camera body to be over your shoulder, centerweighted, as your lens + monitor and your V-Lock/gold mount usually balance themselves out. All that weight will be on your arms. which brings us to... - Your handles are way too short or way too long. You can either go the very hard action "mattebox grabbing" stye (Michael Bay likes to shoot handheld like this for instance), SHane hurlbut talked about it in a video, in which case you would mount handles as close to the mattebox (on a properly balanced rig) OR the very smooth way and more confortable for the operator, with longer handles, allowing the arms to rest at a 90° angle, elbows resting along the ribs. Also, you need to set your handles so your wrist are straight, or you'll be miserable pretty quickly. You can see on the video his wrists are bended all weird, not a comfortable position, especially with all that weight. - I would recommend getting a beveled shoulder pad, which allows you to actually stand straight and have your camera leveled. You can see in the video he kinda lifts his shoulder and stands a bit weird to compensate. This gets tiring really quick. - Finally, that monitor is too close. In the video, you see he has to cramp his neck backwards. This also eats your ability to perform properly on a long day. And it's just unpleasant. Hope this helps ! A rig should be just more weight on your knees, and nothing else. That's why it's so important to fine tune yours =)

haha! it took me a long time to build up to this, piece by piece. you can do the same over the years like i did.

if you rearrange the letters in the thumbnail you get '6k criinge'

This is really nice but I kinda cringed when you're literally making a shoulder rig with a wireless follow focus... and you put the follow focus at the top of the camera instead of on the arms where you hands are...

None of these cameras have viewfinders or decent zooms. Must not work outside much.

Pocket cameras will never be more than a children's toy.

@@chadwin Okay, to be fair, its never going to be a cinema camera either. Of course you can shoot a hole movie with it if you like but i wouldn't. It's not in the same ballpark as an alexa or a venice. It's the perfect camera for lowbudget filmmaking, commercials, but i would never choose this over a real cinema camera if i have the chance.

I thought the thumbnail said 6K cringe

L Angel Ramos M I’ve been using the cable with my cam for 6 months and had zero issues. It’s rated for 12v which is exactly what the battery is sending.

Did he call a CINEMA camera a DSLR, and then tile the video turn a CINEMA camera into a CINEMA camera. Whatever it's KZread, BTW a DSLR is a camera that has a mirror. This camera is a true Cinema camera that just happens to be shaped like a DSLR. That is why it suck for photos. It even says it in the name Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 4/6K. But, clickbait I guess.
