I have two Camvate quick release mounts -- one on my original rail for my handheld operation (so it makes it easier to take it off and place it on a gimbal) and the other one for the shoulder rig, so I can easily attach and detach it from there. Makes it sit higher on the shoulder rig but I still love it. XD

    I just recently got the BMPCC4K and almost completely copied this rig for my first build. I used it for a mostly run-and-gun documentary shoot. My thoughts: - The core of the rig (BMPCC4K; Atomos Shinobi; SmallRig full cage, SSD mount, cold shoe extender, top handle, HDMI and USB-C cable clamps, base plate with rod rail clamps, 8 inch CF 15mm rods, articulating monitor mount, V-mount battery) are all great. An amazing starting point for any rig that you can keep even if you change your build. - The handheld rig at the core of this is also great, but has one somewhat fatal yet unavoidable flaw: It makes the main screen basically unaccessible, which you need to be able to access for controlling some exposure and video settings, as well as controlling audio levels. This may not make a major difference for studio-type shoots, but for run-and-gun, it can be a nuisance at times. If you could scoot the battery back some, that would be great, but depending on your lens setup (I was shooting with a Laowa 17mm 1.8 MFT lens that is microscopic compared to Brian's Speed Booster and Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 setup), having the battery right up against the screen is the only way to have a balanced handheld rig. - Although the quick release mount is the best possible solution for switching between the handheld and the shoulder rig, it isn't exactly built for high speed run-and-gun situations. This is mostly because of the remounting of the monitor, which can feel like hours in high pressure shoots. Once again, totally fine for studio-type shoots, but for run-and-gun purposes, a better (and pretty comparably priced) option would be to mount the Shinobi with the SmallRig 1897 EVF bracket mount so you can switch systems with a little more ease. It also doesn't exactly fit well in a backpack, if that's of any concern for you. - The V-mount plate by SmallRig with the railblocks is a great cheaper option than many of the plates offered, but it automatically locks in the battery to the very back of your rod system - less than ideal if you're like me and would like to add something like a chest pad to the back to create a run-and-gun shoulder and handheld system. - If you're like me and use MFT lenses, get the Tilta Nucleus Nano for a follow focus system and you won't regret it. The focus ring for my Laowa 17mm is almost right up against the camera body, and this is the only system that can reach it. - Some other thoughts: Maybe this is just on my camera, but audio levels are extremely low when using a 3.5mm jack microphone. I used the VideoMicro and while I did get good audio on it, I had to have the gain cranked to 100% every time I shot (was also using it for nat sound, not just scratch audio). I have since purchased a mini XLR to XLR pack, a cold shoe shotgun microphone shock mount and a Rode NTG 2, which has given me much better audio. I also think, from my experiences shooting at high noon in the summer, you need a sun hood for you Shinobi. 8sinn makes a great cage - the Shinobi is super lightweight for some reason and it makes me nervous at times - that also comes with a sun hood for around $120. Much more useful IMO. This is otherwise a great setup, and for my first time rigging, I have to really thank Brian for providing this awesome tutorial. The video that came out of the BMPCC4K on my shoot was awesome as a result.

    @Edvard A The solution I've settled on, mostly because I've been exclusively shooting run and gun stuff, is just using the handheld rig as a shoulder rig as well. I got a hand strap to put on the right side of the camera, so whenever I need to be at eye level, I put my hand thru that, tuck the V-mount battery into the right side of my chest and tilt the monitor down a little bit. It works extremely well, especially when you don't have time to convert to a shoulder rig. I've also noticed it removes the "oooh, look" factor that the shoulder rig has to it - much more discreet with very similar results. I also am frequently in public spaces and on public transit with my rig and this breaks down much easier into a backpack to be completely unnoticeable. I probably wouldn't use this for a full day of shooting as a shoulder rig, but I know LanParte makes a good chest pad if you wanted the best of both worlds, but it is a little pricey (over $100 I believe). I'm fine with using the battery as my chest pad. I haven't tried the SmallRig 1897 mount for the monitor, but I think you could find a way to work. Plus, it would mount straight to this top handle if you slide it the other way around. My only concern would be all the cables sticking out from the camera - I have a USB-C, D-Tap, HDMI, mini XLR, 3.5mm (if using Rode Filmmaker kit) and headphones sticking out at any given time during a shoot - obstructing your view, but it would be worth a shot. Just need to find a way to maybe balance the right side of the camera since this would mount to left side of the handle. I also can't stress this enough - a sun hood for the Atomos Shinobi is a MUST. In broad daylight, it is near impossible to see anything on the screen. Hope this all helps.

    Hey Brian, exactly my rig, only that I my neewer follow focus broke after 5 minutes. I also use two sony npf 970 batteries on a v mount plate attached to the top of the camera cage, this is a cheap battery solution for me that runs me 3 hours continous shooting without problems. I don't need a top handle as I the shoulder rig allows me to just put the camera on the ground or carry on the shoulder. I use much shorter rods, because I already had them, but am thinking about keeping it this way. I just push the shoulder plate against my chest and use the cameras monitor. But probably will use my external monitor like you with longer rods just to give it a try.

    Before i even started this video, i was immediately judging it lol, looking to see if you mention balance. You touched on it, but I’m still a bit skeptical of how the balance is. The most common rig setups I’ve seen everyone post about are all front heavy, and I’ve used rigs like that and it sucks. Using a properly balanced rig is huge for hours of use, and so far I’ve only seen one KZreadr emphasize it in their rig.

    yeah i think he needs to extend rods at the rear and attach one of those counterweights, or move his vmount battery setup there. Then he will achieve True Balance, :-) Another thought: isn't it cumbersome to use shoulder rigs when your subjects are different heights? NBA players vs little kids, how do you work around that?

  • @brian.durkee

    @brian.durkee

    4 жыл бұрын

    Sliding the V Mount and rig back a bit is the best way to achieve an ideal balance with this rig, and it can certainly be done! Shooting people of different heights is definitely tricky! I find myself doing splits almost when filming shorter people to be at a proper level, kids I normally crouch or go on my knees to film them, and NBA players will either be shot from a lower angle (unless on tip toes) or they just need to hire a taller videographer. :)

Would you say that it’s really important to have it or is just extra precautious. I only ask because the 15 mm rods and lens support are causing me some problems with the gimbal, I want it to work but I don’t want to put my sigma or speed booster at risk. I have the little meta bones part that connects the speed booster to the rig is, is that good enough or would you still recommend using the 15mm lens support, thanks

  • @brian.durkee

    4 жыл бұрын

    Correct, two of them! They are kind of pricey but unfortunately I couldn't find another option that I loved. However, you could get away without them and just use the leather handles and can always add the rosette arms on later. On a few shoots where I wanted a smaller footprint I used just the handles without the arms and got away fine, just fatigued slightly quicker with a tad less stability. As for the piece, here is a link to it on SMALLRIG's website www.smallrig.com/rodmount-4-to-mount-your-field-monitor-or-evf-1112.html or an alternative piece on amazon amzn.to/2B92F3w however, that Amazon piece has lower rating so might not be as good. The magic arm could totally work too! It is more affordable, I am just not a fan of how it gets knocked around easier.
