I'm new to rigging out camera's and i could really use some help. I have the FX30, Sony ECM-B1M shotgun mic and the Sigma 18-50mm. I want to add a monitor and a battery and i have no clue how to do it. Any other recommended accesoires for my setup are also welcome. If its possible i would like to keeo it budget friendly

Hi caleb, on 7:28 , you turn on all connected device from power source, is that safe ? I use 3 camera setup, all using dunmy batery, But still affraid to turn on or off directly by cutting power from the source, what i do is switch the camera on off manually Is there any refference that i could read or watch, that not switch camera on off manually is okay ?

Please consider doing a version that supports the XLR top handle! I'd buy it in a minute! Edit: looks like they added an option for it! Yay!

Absolutely, before production begins it would be a major selling point to be able to use the MI connection and top handle XLR unit. It may involve producing a bridging plate, or extra support point or a possible custom cage solution other than SmallRig, but it would be worth the extra effort. Apart from this I love the concept . 👍

This is fantastic work, obviously made with love for the art and knowledge of the field. It's crazy how creative you have to get to counter act the fact that no big brand wants to make affordable ergonomic small cinecams. The community has to do it and it's so simple, it's a shame.

This is absolutely awesome. Congrats on the launch!

Officially adding the Panny S5ii X to the wishlist - maybe add something to make use of the USB-C recording like Condor Blue is doing with the top handle. That would be a super clean setup! Great work Caleb ❤

Seems like a good first iteration, and really stoked to see stuff like this at all. Personally I think the many suggestions to accommodate the XLR handle and power via USB-C instead of dummy battery are spot on. I also think the rig is overly long- seems like it could easily be tightened up by a couple of inches, to have the back edge of the LCD flush with the back edge of the battery when tucked into the slot (at least with that slim battery you've got). I would also want to have the mount/dismount for the camera be much faster- ideally have the camera/cage slot into the system via the Arca Swiss plate on the bottom of the cage, and the Nato rail on top. So you just slide the camera in from the right side of the rig, and tighten a couple of clamps. The cold shoe on that SmallRig cage would block this but perhaps you could offer a modified version with it cut off, or maybe SmallRig would be interested in partnering with you on a new cage?

@@bemboing4338 that’s why I asked for a solution to be used with the Audio top handle. It’s possible. Something like Shape make integrated into a top plate. I don’t need 32bit float. I often have two talent mic’d up and a shotgun or two going into the camera l. It’s great not having to worry about another bit of gear like a seperate recorder if I’m solo shooting.

Thanks for sharing this, it looks solid. However, one of the reasons why I decided to invest in FX3 was the ability to use the top handle. Looking forward to your next rig video which includes the top handle as well :)

I've been following your "tiny" rigs for ever and I love that you'd jumped to creating something brand new. Selfishly, I hope there is something in the works for the canon analogs to the sony cameras you have here.

Fine! I’ll buy, review and most likely will love it 😍😍😍

can you also develop a product that uses the top handle port on the FX6, with XLR ports? We need the ability to get pro audio in without using the top handle please! I know a lot of people would buy it ASAP!

Hi Caleb, Just worked with the Sony FX3 Firmware 4 to discover a major change has occurred since FW 3. If a dummy battery adapter is used the FX3 monitor will display an error message. As I understand Sony did this deliberately as the Sony batteries intelligently communicate to the camera and will reduce the risk of a corrupted file should the battery die during recording. We decided to power the camera via the USB input instead. I recommend you advise buyers of the potential power and/or clip corruption issue either by placing a warning label on the cage or in the instructions and/or the website.

@@micahaka Powering the FX3 requires inserting the Sony internal battery into the camera then using an external USB charger or PD power bank such as Tether Tools Onsite USB C battery pack (26,800 mAh, 100 W PD) . The PD power bank is constantly recharging the internal Sony battery. Another option might be the Kondor Blue D-tap to USB C power delivery cable. Disclaimer : With any external power source for the FX3 the user MUST VERIFY the power delivery voltage is correct for the camera minimum and maximum power requirements.

got to use my new FX30 rig built around the CineBack for the first time over the weekend and i absolutely love it. this is great and i highly recommend it. one tip if you're run and gun like me: the VB99 battery is quite heavy with the handle at the front, get two VB50's instead.

It would be great if you did this for the Panasonic S1H & the Panasonic S5IIX. The S5IIX are very popular.

Hey Caleb, this looks really exciting. One tiny question on my end though - where would one add an audio adapter like the Sony XLR-K3M to this rig? I know, it's a "cine" rig, so one would assume sound gets recorded separately, but as I'm asked to film interviews quite a bit, having a capable audio setup (with XLR ports and good preamps) included in the rig is necessary. I love my XLR-K3M, so if there's a configuration that would take this into account, I'd love to know.

@luissinsin

6 ай бұрын

I agree with this comment. That top cheese plate needs to be custom milled to allow for the XLR-K3M. People can buy the cameras without the Sony Handle and then separately buy the XLR-K3M unit. Then, they can build out their camera with or without Audio XLR inputs.

Nice man! For those of us that actually use the Sony Fx3 Audio Top Handle, can you figure out a way to reinforce it? I’m sure you’ve seen Shapes Fx3 handle support piece they made. Wish there was something like that but would work well with all cages. Right now I use the 8sinn fullcage. Work your magic man, a support for the audio handle would be 🔥🔥🔥

I dont think you covered this in the video, but wouldnt using the same battery with your camera and monitor make the setup vulnerable to power ground loops? (grounding through HDMI, and killing the HDMI port). Its a very common problem on a lot of cameras, I dont know if the FX3 is different but I would assume it would be the same

@Sidewinders

7 ай бұрын

Always a possibility. I’m a 1st AC and have worked around this for years. The safest procedure, (which RED also has written out and I’ll transcribe here) for any camera, but lately especially the Komodo and others, is the following. Wherever SDI/BNC is mentioned, HDMI also applies: When attaching SDI accessories: Connect a power source to the SDI accessory; power on the SDI accessory. Ensure a power source is connected to the camera. This ensures both are grounded prior to connecting the BNC. The camera's power state does not have an impact on SDI attachment sequence. Connect the BNC cable to the accessory, then to the camera. When detaching an accessory mounted to an SDI output, ensure that you remove the BNC connection to the camera before removing power to the SDI device: Shutdown the SDI accessory. Disconnect the BNC cable from camera. Disconnect the power source from SDI accessory. When you need to swap out a battery on an accessory mounted to the camera’s SDI port, you must: Shutdown the SDI accessory. Disconnect the BNC cable from the camera. Replace the battery on the SDI accessory. Power on the SDI accessory. Connect the BNC cable to the camera.
