For me it would have to be a sport. Outdoors definitely. Baseball comes to mind as, unlike cricket you can be relatively close to the action, and there are a few diamonds here in the UK now. Great video as always, be lucky stay safe.
I have only built and worked with one rig, I did a Ursa mini pro 12K for virtual production. And it is this weird and complex rig that features both normal equipment and 3D printed parts to hold everything together more nicely. I am still doing improvements and modifications to the rig since new gear arrives every now and then.
Someday I’ll have had coded my own local network video protocols from scratch and design and engineer an offline FIZ controller. That sounds super fun to me.
Love how you dodged explaining the Genlock 😁. Genlock synchronizes frame rate phase across multiple devices, it makes sure that two cameras are in phase and their frames capture exactly the same moment in time.
Can you do a video on gear head tripods? And other cinema supports? I would love to see some of the middle tier and lower tier companies start to come out with their versions of gear head tripods.
I've only ever built and used one rig (getting a bit outdated so im thinking of moving to a blackmagic body) but I use a Lumix G7 with an old smallrig cage as my base. it's a pretty small rig, with an onboard audio mixer, but it works for what I do with broadcasting
Biggest rig is a Varicam with Cn20x50 ( now own the latter instead of hire thanks CVP) with matte box, Arri dovetail, shape baseplate & vct plate, arri shoulder mount and 19mm rods + pair of lens supports. Add in an Atomos Shogun Inferno on Noga, Sachtler Cine 30 and the Canon zoom and focus demands. Brilliant kit, knackering to carry into the hills filming wildlife :-)
Man cool video, I just got my Arri certification last night and am excited to get into this line. It would be cool to get more detail on the media and licensing as well.
I noticed in your film (at 2.18) the use of a viewfinder auto-leveller attachment...I was wondering if there's an equivalent for keeping field monitors level for the correct angle?
Very interesting! I often wonder why cine cameras look so complicated and expebsive. Could you tell me what sort of cameras the tv studios generally use (the big automated cameras that are on wheels)

@@CVPTV Thank you! Never saw such unique [and expensive] filters. Any chance you might know which filter is responsible for these organic colorful rainbow droplets as seen in here? streamable.com/ghshds The filter is a squared one so I've seen, and has etched diagonal lines. here: i.postimg.cc/sjRcy7QB/Unknown-rainbow-filter.jpg
wow, how big is this thing, have any trouble going through customs?- this looks like a military Bazooka!, probably what the 'rangefinder' is for, for the ballistic computer to get a firing solution.
Not sure what the unwelcome condescension is all about, or the all-caps, for that matter. Oscar-winning films have been shot using AF. CVP reviews lots of different gear and autofocus and IBIS are desirable features for many types of video, from sports and wildlife to wedding photography and documentary.
@@JonPais the joke was the sillyness running amok on youtube from youtubers who truly believe professional = of specific look, gears and approach. The fact is it is really up to the project direction.
This is a high end rig, there are plenty of more budget friendly options for people starting out! Don't be discouraged, this should be something to aspire too. If you have any questions let me know, Jake
This stuff makes me feel kind of ill, it's tech porn, and probably not even necessary half the time, the fact that people post this on the Instagram kind of proves my point. Modern technology means filmmaking should be easier and cheaper than ever but someone, somewhere is always trying to make you spend more money.
I disagree. Most of it comes out of people wanting something. Want the focus puller to be able to sit off to the side, out of the way of the camera operator? You need little motors to focus the lens remotely and a screen to see what the camera sees. Want to be able to film for longer without changing batteries? You need a larger battery. Now you also need a way to support the weight, so you need a frame. Want more light with a larger sensor? You need a larger lens. Now you also need a way to support the larger lens, so more frame. You can definitely work with with none of this fancy stuff, but on larger productions it becomes pretty important. For instance, imagine having the DP, director and focus puller all crowded around the monitor on the camera. It just wouldn't work.
@@clonkex I did say 'half the time.' The issue I have is that on Instagram for example the number of people posting pics of their builds is nothing more than some kind of macho gear porn and I suspect very often is done just for the sake of it, to look professional, to look cool. Also a director can watch the action without a monitor, surely the point of a great cinematographer /camera operator is that you trust them to get it right. This worked perfectly well in the past when there was an issue of the huge cost of film.
@@LeeHarris Ah I missed that part, sorry. I guess I have no real experience with what you're talking about (instagram photos of fancy rigs). And sure, you can definitely do without. For smaller productions I completely agree that the giant rigs are unnecessary. But for big productions and big budgets, they're going to want all the tools and gadgets they can get their hands on to ensure everything goes as well as possible.
Imagine, all that technology and quality available and there isn't anyone alive with enough intelligence, foresight or imagination to make a good film with it. It's a sad, woke age we live in.

The point isn't that there is literally no delay, because as you say that's impossible. Rather, it's that the latency in the teradek and vaxis "zero-delay" systems is the same as a direct SDI or HDMI connection.

Beautifully done. Clear and concise - no mumbo jumbo - thank you! Very helpful. Subscribed just now.

As a newbie wanting to get into video production, this video was super helpful in understanding what I've been seeing in the way of rigs. Thank you.

One of the first times I've seen a video like this. Not a lot of high-end cinema rigging content on youtube.

Great video as always, love seeing my country flag on the wall 3:20 🇨🇩😁👌🏼
Another extremely helpful and thought out video. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Daniel! Jake
The profit margins on that range finder muse be absolutely insane
Awesome detailed video 👌🏻
Great video, Can you do a similar video for solo-doc operator
I'm curious about the differences from one of this setup and TV cameras (those big huge Alien head cameras)
I noticed in your film (at 2.18) the use of a viewfinder auto-leveller attachment...I was wondering if there's an equivalent for keeping field monitors level for the correct angle?
This massive thing is filmed with an another big boy. Let that sink in
Very interesting!

So far out of my needs but a fascinating video nonetheless.
They look really nice, but so heavy and hard to get movement with. I think for the moment i'll stick with my FX3 hahahha
quality content! Keep creating! :P

Same !!! Even got to try using it. Super cool

I wonder when a Blackmagic camera will feature on that Cannes list - given that it includes films shot on an iPhone ?
I think never. Why use Blackmagic cameras in production? You can rent an ARRI. BM cameras great for it's market, not feature films,
Compact

Adds much to the budget...and eliminates options for mobility and tracking shots.

Very interesting, and not too in depth.
the bigger your rig the more professional you are. You must know what you are doing.
that canns chart.. WTF.. they will put a frackin iphone on the list but not. a bmpcc6k or ursa.. wtf
After watching this video... I'm so discouraged. All that hardware is super expensive. I feel like giving up...

Tell us you’re desperate, without actually telling us you’re desperate.
There is no such thing as wireless distribution system with 0 latency. Not possible, not noticeable maybe.
The point isn't that there is literally no delay, because as you say that's impossible.
Rather, it's that the latency in the teradek and vaxis "zero-delay" systems is the same as a direct SDI or HDMI connection.
