I typically use my Crane 3 LAB gimbal with the Zhiyun monopod by using one of two transmount quick connects. When I remove the folding tripod base, I attach it to the second transmount quick connect that I've placed on the left side of the rear handle of the gimbal. This gives me better rotational control of the gimbal when mounted on the monopod, (as the folding tripod now becomes a side mounted handle). I really like this setup. I've purchased a BMPCC4K app that I like very much. kzread.info/dash/bejne/enyXxMqhXdaen7w.html I'm building a DIY vest/arm setup as seen in the following video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eoenxZWimNWWiqw.html

Hi Marc Hope youre safe and well. Quick question: What’s the best gimble for BMPCC4K whilst the CORE SWX POWERBASE EDGE battery is stuck on? Thanks in advance Is the crane lab 3 a good gimble for the BMPCC4K and can it be attached whilst the core powerbase battery pack is attached underneath the camera?
@marcmartinezfilms4 жыл бұрын
SKY MAGICIAN thats a good question. Unfortunately I have no experience using the powerbase. The problem with those bottom mounted power bases is that it raises the height of the cam and on a gimbal it could hit the rear motor when going into a low angle shot. Another con is the additional weight. It gets heavy after a while and any additional weight on the gimbal you will begin to feel and it gets exhausting. I switch out bats, I have 7 bats that last a day’s shoot. I dont mind switching them out. Id rather do that than deal with the headache of balancing, shot limits, and extra weight. Rule of thumb, keep your cam and gimbal as lightweight as possible. It makes it easier to handle as well as setup, especially on a gig. Im not saying it cant be done. I’m just saying for myself its not worth it on a gimbal setup. On a tripod for sure, all day.

@marcmartinezfilms4 жыл бұрын
Ric Rawlins I would imagine the extra height would bump the camera into the rear motor for the tilt axis. As it is you have to set it far back on the plate to balance a zoom lens. It will also offset the center of gravity and make it harder to balance. Not to mention the added weight that starts getting heavy on long takes. Too many cons imo. I would recommend against it. I switch out batts. Its easy access and takes ten seconds. It allows the pocket 4K to work with the Crane 3 freely and lightweight.

I was wondering if you had any tips on balancing the roll axis? I found that the roll axis would balance horizontally but anytime I lifted it up it would tip back down to horizontal rather than staying in one place. The only way I got the roll axis to balance properly is to change the tilt axis but then it would ruin the tilt. Would love to know what you did! I've also been having issues where the BMPCC4K is seemingly too top heavy and I don't have enough slack to even balance it!

Marc, thank you very much for your master class .... I am very excited about the results .... let's rock!
Are you able to control the fstop from inside the bmpcc?
lzafar for the sigma 18-35 yes.
Marc Martinez thank you!
This was the most helpful information on KZread for the Zhiyun/bmpcc combo!! Thank you
lzafar im glad it helped.
Thanks for making this video. Do you think this setup could work with the new Blackmagic battery grip underneath the camera?
Ric Rawlins I would imagine the extra height would bump the camera into the rear motor for the tilt axis. As it is you have to set it far back on the plate to balance a zoom lens. It will also offset the center of gravity and make it harder to balance. Not to mention the added weight that starts getting heavy on long takes. Too many cons imo. I would recommend against it. I switch out batts. Its easy access and takes ten seconds. It allows the pocket 4K to work with the Crane 3 freely and lightweight.
@@marcmartinezfilms Thanks for the advice Marc, much appreciated.
I’ve just bought and installed both the follow focus servo and the zoom servo. When I connect either one of the two, it works fine, but when I connect both at the same time, only the zoom servo works through the handle rocker. The follow focus doesn’t work. The wheel doesn't do anything. I’ve tried in both movie mode and manual mode and I still have the same issue. I have also set the lens to both AF and MF and I still have the same issue. My gimbal is attached to the Sony a7iii with a Sony 24-105 lens. Any advice on what could be wrong here?
ZuDhan Productions check out the tips at 2:58 in the video. This covers that exact problem. There’s a link in the description to Zhiyun’s setup for the motors as well. Good luck.
Marc Martinez thanks, I’ll watch it.
@@marcmartinezfilms I watched both videos and followed the instructions. I started with the follow focus upgrade, which worked just fine. BUT there is no option to upgrade the zoom servo. The menu only offers motor (low, medium, high), wheel (sensi, AB point, priority), joystick (reverse), rocker (sensi, AB point, reverse), calibrat (yes, no), angle (pitch, roll), focus (lite, max), and about. There is no dedicated option for zoom as there is for the focus. So I still have the same problem. When the follow focus servo is the only one connected, it works fine. But when I connect the zoom servo, the follow focus servo doesn't work, only the zoom.
@@zudhanproductions7887 Disconnect the zoom motor completely (important). Make sure under 'Focus' it's set to 'Lite'. Click the menu wheel to the right to enter 'Upgrade' and update it again even if you already did. Disconnect it then connect the zoom motor. Go to 'Focus' again and do the same only make sure you set it to 'Max'. Update it. Test it out it should work.
Very important you disconnect the cables and update one at a time. Hope that helps.
Thanks so much for walking us thru the balancing setup!
I'm glad it helped. I posting a new tut and footage for the Pocket 6K and Crane 3 soon if you're interested in that.
Great tutorial bro thanks so much! Please continue to post video footage with your setup great stuff!
what’s the diff between the lanparte cage and like the smallrig cage on amazon? there’s a huge price difference i’m just wondering how much of a difference in quality there is for using it with a gimbal like this
JamilWTW the differences are small and not worth the price difference. I have a Smallrig half cage that makes the setup way easier. Live and learn. I’m posting a vid for that with the P6K soon.
@mark martinez how did you have the focus the whole time while moving? were you using the focus wheel or did you focus on the target before hand and just kept the same distance?
TechFive good question. If I know the subject will be moving to and away from the lens I will decrease my depth of field buy stopping down the iris and increasing the iso and/or shutter angle to compensate for more light.
hi i bought a counterweight like yours by your link but which one is under the big counterweight? i don't know where to find one...because i can't use my counterweight without it...thank you for an answer
Hey Bryan, things have changed since I posted that video. I'll be uploading an updated one. For now all you need can be found here. Good luck! www.smallrig.com/stabilizers/zhiyun.html
Since the camera is now offset is really hard when adding the follow focus and zoom kit though!
Can we use panasonic gh5s with sigma 18-35 in crane 3 LAB with zoom and focus wheel motor sir
Beautiful content. Thank you for doing this.
I was wondering if you had any tips on balancing the roll axis? I found that the roll axis would balance horizontally but anytime I lifted it up it would tip back down to horizontal rather than staying in one place. The only way I got the roll axis to balance properly is to change the tilt axis but then it would ruin the tilt. Would love to know what you did! I've also been having issues where the BMPCC4K is seemingly too top heavy and I don't have enough slack to even balance it!
William Snyder the best tips I have are in this vid bud. I cover the roll axis and the slack for mounting the Pocket 4K.
im using the bmpcc 4k camera as well with the crane 3 but with the panny 12-35 - with yer lens did you feel you had to mess with motor strengths and axis settings for each motor? Or they were all fine out of the box?
Kevin Baggott they have 3 default settings, low, medium and high. I tested them all. The high setting works fast but depending on usage the motors will overheat and turn off. Best setting for me has been on medium. Works great for hours.
@@marcmartinezfilms I appreciate that. Thanks.
My smallrig full cage don't feet...why ? i can't put the plate !
awesome video - thanks for taking the time to do this!
Thank you Kevin.
New to your channel - awesome video. Thanks so much.
I have the Rode Film Maker Kit as well but couldn't hook it up to my BMPCC 4K. Any help?
You will need to go out of the Rode receiver into a mini jack to XLR converter www.amazon.com/dp/B000Y021NA?tag=amz-mkt-saf-us-20&ascsubtag=1ba00-01000-a0069-mac00-other-nomod-us000-pcomp-feature-pcomp-wm-3-wm-8-wm-1-wm-4&ref=aa_pcomp_prc1 then to an XLR to mini-XLR converter www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JTVM5JY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to go into the BMPCC4K.
