    It's strange to think that a non-videographer has seen this video at least half a dozen times. I'm amazed at how loving and functional this small, but fine creation of a video rig is. A successful temptation for getting started in videography.

    This is low-key revolutionary. As indie filmmakers and content creators, we're either trying to make our tiny cameras look beefier with a cinema rig or larger cameras more compact with minimal accessories. This is taking a different direction, with a tiny camera and a tiny rig 😂. It's cute, does everything a larger rig does, but you can actually use it when travelling or if you really need to shoot a film in stealth mode. The bigger your setup, the bigger the reaction you get from people when you bust it out. You don't always want the attention. I never want it tbh.

    Nice!! I have an alternate workflow to reduce size and maintain raw capability: buy the slimraw plugin! I use it to offload footage from my sd card to convert bmpcc (og) dng into compressed raw up to 7:1. Resolve handles them perfectly similar to braw. Transcoding them is almost the same speed as copying them. Slimraw also supports sigmafp footage. Cannot recommended them enough

    Great video man. That is one cool battery dock too. I believe the Sigma fp is the best "sleeper" camera on the market today. Agreed that it is a small 12bit DNG , BM RAW, ProRes RAW, and superb still image camera that just works. I also strip it down and use it as a light weight FF travel camera with native Sigma L-mount F2 lenses.

    I love the fp - I work with her over a year now. Just one thing about the Samsung SSDs: if you want to shoot in 4k ALWAYS use the T5! The T7 is too slow! So if you try to record with the T7 in 4k after about one minute recording will stop (reason: the cache reached its limit). If you do not believe me try it for yourself.

It's so blocky and bulky, yeah and it's a mirrorless system(omg). I feel like some companies forget why we went in the mirrorless direction in the first place - small compact form factor. The thought of lugging around a massive rig is something out of a horror movie. I really love this setup... (applause). I built me an XT3 rig... weight and small form factor was my mission. And it wasn't easy, cause it's like you solve one problem, but then you might create another problem, super nerdy stuff man, but the lemon is definitely worth the squeeze.

    Funny thing with the Cine Dock. I recently designed a pretty similar design for my rig. But I also incorporated one of these magnetic USB C connectors. Super satisfying snap when you plug them in.

    I've been doing this with my FX3. Love the camera so much and I built my rig around flying it on a small gimbal like the Webill S. Instead of piling onto a cage, i build onto the Gimbal itself. Smallrig sells a back handle for the Webill S that has a cold shoe mount on it. I mount the Osee t5 monitor i found out from your review, (absolutely adore that monitor and it has taken my work to the next level). I run a coiled HDMI cable to the camera and I just run and gun with it. I recently got the Sony G 50MM 1.4 and thats so light and zippy auto focus with great image quality. Light weight, Incredible Quality, ridiculous Auto Focus.
