Epic Focus Puller Rig Build for 1st AC! (Using Only 1 Battery)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- This is an epic focus puller rig build for the 1st AC (First Assistant Camera) that all runs off of only one battery. The smallHD Focus monitor, Tilta Nucleus Nano, and Hollyland Cosmo 600 wireless transmitter are able to run off of a v-mount battery with this setup. Using a wireless follow focus and having a dedicated focus puller is especially necessary when you're using manual lenses and your camera is on a gimbal, steadicam, dolly or handheld.

SmallHD Focus Monitor geni.us/smallHD

We’ve built camera rigs, jibs and now a follow focus rig! What do you guys wanna see built next?! 🔨 🎥
build a small house for mice to live in but do not let mice with infections come in or out of the town because tehy will be bad for the clean mice and also you could put in a swimming pool but jus a small one for mice not a full size one haha and some food we have to feed the mice or thei wil get sick lolll
this will be nice as you don't have to feel the 1 ac breathing beside you trying to pull focus, looking at the same monitor haha. great video
The nucleus nano is a must buy for all filmmakers! 😁
Heck yeah it is!! I use it all of the time for different setups.
I just checked it out online and it is very cheap.
I added a tabletop tripod mini leg (example: Ronin S leg stand) on to the bottom so you can place it on the ground when you don't use it. Come in handle. The second method is back heavy. Kool vid
Yes, adding a little mini tripod/stand to the bottom of the rig would be perfect so you can also set it down! The v-mount versions is definitely very back heavy.
Does it's job, but it looks janky as hell bro! I'd definitely be looking to find ways to minimise and streamline the build of this if it were me
haha yeah man! It's definitely not perfect, I just through the setups together with parts I had laying around the studio. I'd love a really clean setup, but I couldn't get it much more streamlined without actually buying parts made for a FF rig.
That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Marcos Rocha thanks man! Yeah honestly I just started playing with different parts I had and figured out some cool ways to rig this
Damn thats a dope setup bro! Keep the great content coming!
Thanks dude! Honestly it's a pretty effective and useful setup! Can't wait to shoot some short films with it once the apocalypse ends.
You are awesome man. Keep up your good work 😊
Neel Anil haha thanks for the support! Stay awesome 👏 😎
Oh you've done it again Chadwin! I'm mad I missed this one dude haha.
Pablo Lopez hey thanks!! Yeah, this was a really fun one to build out. RUclips is terrible at showing people my videos, so makes sense you missed it....... 😆 😞
@@chadwin no worries, you already know I'm on your page like a pollen on a bee my dude! Great info here too.
Nice rig
thank you!
That was so cool
Paritosh Nayak hey thanks!
please be careful. Tilta says you're not supposed to power the nano wheel via USB. That port is only for firmware updates so you risk damaging your unit.
oh really?? I haven't seen that info anywhere. lol I've been powering it that way for a while no with zero issues so far
@@chadwin on their official website
tilta.com/support/can-you-power-the-hand-wheel-via-the-micro-usb-port/
Cables are in chaos
haha yeah, they're definitely not the neatest with this setup
You really need the blackmagic hdmi - sdi 3g. Feels like the latency on hdmi would ruin this
I'll have to give SDI a try on this setup and see if latency improves over hdmi
Is there some kind of baby pin receiver you could add to something like this so you could quickly mount it on a stand?
do you find any issue with the motor ? after calibrating a lens with hard stop , the rotate range between minimum focus to infinity become so short ? any help would really appreciated chad
Andrean Octavius I haven’t had any issues with that really. But I will say, changing focus is variable in speed. So if you turn the know really slowly, it will spin longer and have a longer focus throw, but if you spin it really quickly the hard stops between are quick and close together. I mean not that I say that out loud (over text) lol I think you’re right, the AB stops aren’t a full 360 turn apart or anything. I think you can adjust that on higher end ones like the Nucleus M and other FF.
what would be the easiest way to go from hollyland to smallhd focus 5 to a7III camera?
awesome~~
Do you still use the port key BM5 Monitor?
Yes! I actually used it last night while filming a video with my Pocket 6k. I prefer the OS of ATOMOS or SmallHD, but it’s still a nice monitor!
@@chadwin Ty for the reply. I am interested in getting the BM5 for my 4k and having your first focus build for focus puller. But is it possible to connect the two?
Bongo Ties
bongo ties are the best!!
👍
Poor cable management and attachment.
battery will last for like 2 minutes
not true. lasts a few hours with a v-mount
you are a liar !!! you say that any video transmitter can be used for these purposes and you mention Mars 400 , but Mars 400 has not only a shorter distance but also a greater delay of exactly 80 milliseconds whereas your transmitter in the video has a delay of 1 millisecond
