Wow! thanks so much for the support on this video. This made my channel reach over 1,000 subscribers!
What a beauty! Im getting my A7III next week so am excited to try it out :)
Mr. Mayo, your content is great! I'm getting back in photography after 5 years and this is the camera I bought + a 35, 50 and 85 FE lenses. I love it. When I grow up I want to be like you LOL
I put an audio preamp under the rails and baseplate as well. The on board audio is pretty bad. Things like the Beachtek DXA micro pro plus has XLR, phantom power, and good preamps. Clean sound and doesn't need obscene amounts of gain.
It's also WAY cheaper than the Tascam (but the Tascam will handle wireless too).
I love how versatile the a7iii is.
A must use some of these parts and can't wait to hook mines up!!
Currently thinking of getting a top handle that can hold a mic as well as a side handle, lovely video. The rig looks ace ^^
Go for it!
All Mirrorless cam cages should have a quick release plate system. Unlike conventional eng and cine cams you want to be able to get them quickly in and out of the cage, for example to put on a gimbal or use for photography and so much more. Cages such as this one will be antiquated in years to come!
Yes, I regularly use manfrotto quick release plates in between the camera and cage for quick dismount. Great Tip
Great video!!
this is sick so dope
Can’t wait for the a7iv gonna be a beast
beautiful work
underrated channel bro
Awesome video. Thanks man!
Glad you liked it!
Just Placed my order brother and just got yourself another subscriber. Next month my new monitor I'll make sure to use the link as well. Got tired of my feelworld.
Brilliant thank you!
Cool rig!
Thanks!
Good job 👌
Amazing. I have the same camera and am gonna try it out. I'm more of a gimble shooter. Any advice ?
You would use this cage all the time for photography too, because I love how the most robust camera looks and above all I would add the side wooden handle, do you think it is comfortable for photos with that handle more or just with the cage to use it daily, because I was always looking for something to give the sony a7riii more security and before I had in mind those silicone cases that are glued to the body
I would use this setup with the cage only for photography. It provides good grip. I wouldnt recommend any of the handles attached to it though. Hope that helps :)
you can use a proper riser and get the lens in the middle of the mattbox. The main point of a mattbox is being able to use filters. you're gonna get so many reflections the second you drop a filter in there. If you are just using a Matt box to cut out lens flares there are multiple cheaper and more effective ways of doing that
A riser would help thanks! I use plenty of filters like the ND and black pro mist! Love the versatility of having two filter holders with my Mattbox 👍
80% of mattebox purpouse on this price range is to look cool
@@LILUGOINDABUILDING this is the best feature.
Hey I just wanted your vid and I was curious since it’s been a year now. Would you still recommend this setup? Also what monitor would you recommend?
great video thanks next time maybe a background music would be nice
keep the good work
Thanks for sharing this excellent video, what you use for audio? Are you using an external microphone? How you attach an external microphone with this rig?
HDMI clamp is a life saver! Best money I've honestly spent! How do you like that matte box? Ive been looking into the tilta mini and this one, i like the idea of being able to swivel it out the way as needed.
I’m in between now. Still using this one with my fx 9 but I’m in the market for something that lighter.
i have alteady broken 2 micro HDMIs, its yime for a cable clamp
Great, thanks very informative video.
I didn't see the link for the plate you screwed onto the camera base plate though.
Hi Brent, I updated the baseplate link. Thanks !
I was able to find everything but the V-Mount Battery - Can you link another? I bought everything else.
Very nice video.. what is the full accesories satup india price with camera and lens?
So dope man
Thank You! I appreciate you checking it out
Cory Mayo I asked a couple questions below that are pretty important to this setup if you could answer them that would be awesome. Thanks.
Great video!
So what's the benefit of this set up vs lets say a run and gun set up like using a weebil-s?
I do understand using the Atmos monitor...but that set up seems more for looks?
I'm just curious. Thanks!
Oh and what light are you using behind u?
You want me to compare a cinema rig to a gimbal rig? Two completely different use cases. Benefits of using this rig other then Atomos monitor, unlimited record time, proper exposure controls and focus and the “ looks” , are all day battery life, hot swappable battery, the use of filters, unlimited rigging options for grips, shoulder mount ect. Handle held shots are smoother with the added weights and use of image stabilization. Benefits of gimbal rig are well you can get gimbal shots. You can mount the monitor on the gimbal. Idk yeah they are just used for different things I suppose. I think gimbal shots are way over used today and carefully planned out tripod shots and handheld movement looks better for my line of work.
A follow-focus would have been nice to have on this sort of system
Ketrab 9012 maybe a different model camera but the Song A7iii auto focus is incredible. And me being a one man operator follow focus is definitely not an option. Maybe if had cinema glass
@@cameranerdsmedia I ment for cine lenses or vintage primes, sorry for misunderstanding
Great! The front door thing, doesn’t it tilts back easily with longer larger lens? I see a gap between the lens and the front part that has the hood on top, does this gap impacts the lighting?
Yeah I recommend getting what’s called a donut that easily attaches from the Matt box to any lens you need
Very good explanation! I have also looked into this. However with this type I can't install a microphone on top of the camera. I have the Sony wireless mic system which I use a lot to documentaries. How or what type of sound equipment are you using? I also have external sound recorder but not wireless only by cable.
Another thing. I have a FS-5 also and in my control I can start the recording without moving my hand from the grip. How do you start recordings?
My camera cage has a cold shoe on the right hand side I tend to mount a rode shotgun mic on this. For external audio i'm currently using the Tascam Dl-10 they have worked well and I don't have to worry about wireless signal. I am looking to upgrade soon to the Sony wireless lav system so I can monitor my levels. But I more then likely be mounting that to my Soy FX9 and keeping this setup as is. Hope that helps. Thanks
Hey! Awesome video! Quick question... does the a7iii heat up or have you experienced anything when you use the vmount to usb C to a7iii? I have the same setup with the a7iii and battery grip and the smallrig battery grip cage. If I want to use a dummy battery and insert it to the battery grip I need to unscrew the door latch on the battery grip then plug it to the v-mount. Just wanted to hear your experience. If you have a great experience with it I might just do what you do with the USB C cable.
Hideaki Nomura no issues so far with over heating using the usb c cable. Only problem I’m worried about is over charging my batteries. I haven’t noticed a problem yet but I’m just trying to be cautious.
thanks for the vid! Where did you find the bottom plate for the base plate? I couldnt find it in the description
Hi Shauntel, I updated the link for you. SMALLRIG Now has a baseplate that comes with the bottom plate. Thanks for letting me know :)
Thabk yoh soo much brother 👍👍😀😀😀
No problem
When viewing thru the external monitor, can you see your camera settings still such as iso, zebras, menus, etc? Or do you need to still do that all thru the cameras display?
yes you can still view the screen by flipping it facing up.
Why have a battery grip when you also use a v-mount battery? Seems a bit overkill. :D
Cool rig seen expensive ones not including camera n lense. The monitor costs a pretty penny
I hope I can Also Rig my Camera Like yours
Awesome Video bro! Thank you! Quick question, what do you use for sound to the camera?
Mic in. With a ride wireless mic or just a shotgun mic on top
Daimn mate, that's an awesome build! What's the next investment?
Sony Fx9 LOL. But for this build I am very happy with. I added a shoulder rig to this recently so now its even more versatile
do you find it more convenient to have the handle on the right side vs the left? The only think i think about is needing to easily change camera settings and the handle getting in the way.
love it on the right only for the fact I wouldn't want to have my hand accidently pull or touch the cables coming out on the left. could ruin a recording.
Love the build!! Awesome job. How much does it weigh? Because I would love to have this build on a fluid head tripod which I’m currently shopping for
Depending on the lens combo the one in this video is at around 8lbs
Do they have an extended cage for an A 6400 or will this cage work?
Great video! DOPE rig! Have any links for the products in your setup?
Thanks, i updated the description with all the links
Cory Mayo you’re the best, I’ll be making more accounts to help you get more subs lol
This is great! One thing thoe do you have problem with display tuning off when you record in 4k?
the external monitor doesn't turn off
Hey great video! Is there a link for the doughnut thingy?
Bought off of Amazon. Unfortunately it’s no longer available. It was cheap though I don’t recommend.
Cool video! Get some sound panels up! There’s a bunch of reverb
Rhodolite Productions always room for improvement. Thanks for the feedback.
Cory Mayo of course man! Sick build keep it up!
I watched the whole video before i comment :P .
This is a very nice and enjoyable video to watch but alot of things don't make sense Cory.
First there is no reason for the mattbox because that lens or any non cinema lens don't need mattbox,cheaper to buy 1 filter for all (82mm and downrings).
Second,the battery life from the A7iii is absolutely crazy. I shoot 2-3 hours 4K video on 1 battery and it never failed on me so the V mount battery is waste of money and weight.
Also the USB C or A won't charge your battery's if the camera is on,it may delay the discharge but also destroy your expensive NZ100 batteries.
Third,the 15mm rods make sense only if you're going to attach a follow focus ring,manual or an electronic .
If i understand correct you are using autofocus with your current setup/lenses. You could get away with only the cage and the monitor. The rig looks good but is not functional.
This is not a hate comment,i do like the video alot and your other videos.
Although if you are going to do a job with a rig looks big and bulky most likely you will impress your client but not your muscles :P
P.S : Subscribed
Bill mattbox is used to hold multiple filters in front of lenses as well as a shade. As I stated in previous comments I tend to use Nd filters along side black pro mist filters. So yes Matt box is being used in its correct manner.
Second I shoot events that require long battery life(longer then 2-3 hours. Such as weddings music festivals ect. So hence why I went with the v mount system.
As for discharging my battery’s I have not seen any issues recharging my z battery’s and it’s been over a year. So that’s just speculation.
As for weight I welcome it for stabilizing hand held footage.
As for 15mm rods I use them to hold matte box and v mount system.
As for variable ND with step down rings. I absolutely use them and do own a 82mm with step down rings.
This is just one example of a cinema setup. It can modified depending on each gig.
Thanks for subscribing 🤙
any sample footage?
Sony A7iii and sonyA7siii both are different same or different ???
Well done. 2 questions. Which length of 15mm rodes did you go with? Also when shooting corporate and music videos like you mentioned, how’s the stability of the footage in post compared to mounting with a ronin s maybe. Thanks again dope set up
i have a variety of 15 mm rodes of all lengths. They come in handy and are really affordable I recommend buying a couple different lengths. For stable footage the setup is great! gives it a nice natural feel. If you are needing a little more stable I put warp stabilizer on the footage to finalize the look.
Cory Mayo thanks for the reply man. I used 16 inch rods and set up with my v mount and ninja v. Finally figured out the ninja but somehow I think I fried my USB ports or something on the a7iii when I powered it with the V mount battery. Now i need to take out and put battery back in to turn it on. I’ll have to bring it in sadly. Thanks tho the set up is dope. Can’t wait to use it!!
Now that this video is 2 years old, do you recommend Sony when building a cinema rig and if so which current camera (under 10k) would you go with for the best video production?
Great question! I’ll be uploading my updated video very soon!
Thanks for the video! Learnt alt. As a viewer, can you use a higher aperture on these videos? It is really distracting to only have the camera in focus and not your face when you speak.
good idea
Hi! Great video! How can you use the touch screen focus? With the monitor?
Touch screen focus get disabled when hooking up monitor. Unless they rolled out an update I’m not aware.
hey can I fix that on a tripod and start shooting with the rig setup?
yup!
can you shoot 120fps with the setup?
hi thank you for the video, however I was wondering if it was not too complicated to change the lens in the middle of a shoot or to place this configuration on a tripod/ronin s for example?
Matte box swings to the side so you can easy change lens! This rig flys on a Crane 3s won’t work with the small gimbals
@@cameranerdsmedia omg thanks bro!
What’s up with Sony no longer making cameras?
In your links, one says "cable management" but when I click on it it says "sorry - We couldn't find that page." Can you link something here from somewhere else, or at least tell me what it's supposed to be? Thanks.
Thanks for letting me know! The product I used was 5col Survival Supply Ranger Bands (Medium (30 count) they no longer sell them on amazon unfortunately. I updated the link with something similar thanks!
What if you wanted to add onboard audio? And would this transfer onto a gimbal without too much trouble?
Works on crane 3s, onboard audio solution would not be the best for this setup
What lens is that on your camera?
Hey mate great vid! How do you house the rig during transit? Or do you rig up on location?
I leave fully rigged and Buckle it up in the front seat lol 😂 I have yet to find a good option for super long travel yet
@@cameranerdsmedia Haha thanks, let me know when you do. I am currently doing the same with my A7iii cage and shoulder rig.
The Pelican 1510SC works nice with most set ups. Pelican is pretty great generally
Do you have to disassemble everytime to change a lens?
No he showed that matte box is a swing out allowing you to change your lens without all the drama
How can you possibly see the LCD screen? That is necessary I think?
Yes very important to see the screen. The camera is adjustable back and forth on the 15mm rodes. so if you need to see the screen simply move camera away from the v mount and tighten down. Hope that helps :)
Some of the links are outdated, please update it
All Updated. Thanks!
what's the point of the matte box though? ur not using a cinema lens so isnt it just adding weight and inconvenience, or am i missing something?
as stated in the video i use filters like the black pro mist and nd filters :) this matte box allows you to stack two as well
I am just getting started with video and photo. I can not understand why people use mat boxes? It seems so annoying. Don't they just have filters you can attach/detach easily from your lens?
Great question. Matte Boxes are definitely for very specific group of videographers. There are plenty of cheaper filter systems on the market if you do not wish to mess around with matte boxes. That being said they do still serve a purpose in the film industry. For my use case I wanted to invest in filters that I can use on more expensive lenses in the future. As well as carry over my gear to a proper cinema camera. (which I shoot on now) So if this sounds like you I recommend it. if not save the fuss and get screw on filters. Hope this helps :)
Is there a reason to double up a battery grip and external battery pack?
none at all! I like the extra weight for stabilization
Thoughts on this set up minus the double battery side grip with the v-mount set up?
Definitely great setup without the vertical grip. But with no v mount battery there simply Is not enough weight to do steady hand held shots
@@cameranerdsmedia thanks for replying! Debating on spending the extra money on the smallrig cage built for the grip extension or save money with a magicrig cage and top handle bundle. The magicrig unfortunately fits the a7iii body alone without the vertical grip but comes with a top handle that I would need to buy separately from smallrig so I was curious if there's any difference in running all that power on one battery vs two. Planning on getting the v mount regardless but I image the set up will be only slightly lighter without the grip and cage for it. I'm going to be adding everything else, even a follow focus system so I also image the weight lost would be compensated with the rest of the set up.
Hey do you have a link for that doughnut ring for the lens?
Purchased through amazon, seller no longer offers this part. I don’t recommend the one I picked up. Very poor quality and doesn’t fit a lot of lenses.
what's your set up like for your main camera?
Sony Fx9 hand held rig. I use the Sony a7c as my b camera
I was thinking of buying the same rig for my dashcam until you said cables !!!
Pretty overkill dashcam
Neewer Vertical Battery Grip A7III Does this work with A7siii also ??
no it does not
bro you can use another grip I can't find it in Mexico
the grip I linked isn't available in your area?
Hey, awesome video, quick question.
I’m using a usbc to power the camera and anything I connect them, all I get on the screen is USB connecting and stops there and does not charge
Is there anyway to fix that or does the camera needs to have the latest update?
My camera is running version 3.01
V mount battery from Juicebox
Thanks I’m in advanced
Trying going into the usb settings
Turn off mass storage
Could be a software update preventing this charging capability. As this video is a bit old now.
@@cameranerdsmedia That’s what it needed. Thank you.
Where is the link for the dummy battery on the ninja I send the cable for it but not the dummy battery for it
Hi, the Ninja V actually comes with the dummy battery to connect to d tap. Sorry for the confusion on this.
@@cameranerdsmedia okay because I have the atmos shinobi and I’m lost as to how I can have a similar set up as yours. This is the only thing I’m missing
@@booskiej22 thats crazy yeah i thought they all come with the atomos products. but yeah the ninja v comes with it.
How do you like your V-Mount Battery Plate? I heard that this brand can loose connection with battery at times. Do you feel this is true
It’s pretty good after 2 years I would replace it.
The release button gets stuck every now and then. But it’s great for the money literally the cheapest one you can get
@@cameranerdsmedia Thanks for the info. Do you have a recommendation for any others? Or will you be getting the same one?
@@CliffFennell I ended up purchasing the same one. Its been working well for me and the 2 year is plenty compared to the more expensive parts.
@@cameranerdsmedia Cool! Thanks for the follow up
yeah Some amazon product links wouldn't hurt but ill make do.
Thanks, i updated the description with all the links
@@cameranerdsmedia thanks man i appretiate it.
How are you handling focusing with this setup?
Sony A7iii auto focus is fantastic! Haven’t really had to mess with manual focus
@@cameranerdsmedia Oh wow, and is it easy to access the camera's screen?
Is it possible to use stabilizer with this?
Maybe a crane 3s should work
How much of a pain is it to change the lens with it all built out like this?
Easy the Mate box swing to the side then boom
Change your lens
@@cameranerdsmedia Ah, thanks man!
In your description I think you mean to say 15 cm rods. Great video nevertheless.
Good eye!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
How much with all acsesoir
Too much 😂
too scary dude lol
Boo
Does this fit with a 6400
Yes just need a different cage
Ohhh man. I don't have so much money:(
You could have put in the description of the video the information containing the name and code of the products so that the subscribers of your channel can find the products on the internet more easily ... 😒😒😒😒

What does it costs totally?
Too much
Where's your Mic???
Lav mic clipped on shirt
the lack of links hurts lol. could you add sir
TallTallTV I was definitely thinking about haha just realistically only 5 people watch my videos haha 😆 so I didn’t bother
Cory Mayo I think you have great potential. To me the video was that of someone with 400k subscribers. Don’t doubt yourself.
Thanks 🙏 I’ll have links up soon
@@cameranerdsmedia Get those links up bro!
@@jaredlamar they up!
swap that vmount for a Powerjunkie. :)
NO :)
@@cameranerdsmedia LOL why not
All that and yet you still have crappy rolling shutter.
Nah
@@cameranerdsmedia Imagine spending tons of money on a camera and cinema rigs only for the end result to have rolling shutter despite having high readout speeds. LMAO. RUclips is plagued with stuttery / jittery garbage footage.
@@380stroker it all depends on the person behind the camera.
@@cameranerdsmedia yes, only to an extent.
@@380stroker name 1 camera that came out when the Sony a7iii did that has better features for the price? This camera will go down in history as the best bang for you dollar at the time. No body even comes close.

Great video!
Thanks for watching
