I am not sponsored by any of these companies or an affiliate. I simply love their tools and love getting to geek out on gear. Geek out with me, won’t you?!
Oh good! I’m so glad that this helped you. I honestly had such a hard time finding the RIGHT pieces that I was wondering if some others were having similar problems. Hence, the video;)
Ahh that's so awesome, my man. So great to see that this was helpful! There will be a lot more gear breakdowns very soon. Going to do a RED handheld documentary setup...
I can literally feel my savings account decreasing as I watch this video ev lol I know when they made this they were smiling the whole time like “yea we got em” anyways I’m currently ordering 2 🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣
Haha well they got me good! The REAL business is being a solid manufacturer of these filmmaking tools... We are 'users!' haha but honestly, for the follow focus kit, you won't find a comparable cheaper option. That one is LEGIT cheap for what it offers.
Yeah, it's definitely not the setup for everyone, but I wanted versatility and the ability to build it up more or slim it down. I work on a variety of size shoots, so this was my way of finding a middle ground.
That brought back memories of another one of Joe P. Biden’s infamous and memorable dementia influenced statements: 2 Words…. Or was that 1 word? “You know…. The Thing” 😂 Thanks for another excellent video! We have been using the “budget friendly” FeelWorld W1000h wireless HDMI (they also have a combo HDMI/SDI model) transmitter/receiver system. It’s for our volunteer fire department/rescue squad drone unit and a fraction of the cost of Terradeck. Obviously, the Terradeck is for professional use, but we just need a way to send our drone operator’s video over to an incident commander or operations chief. We usually require distances of under 500’ and they work very well at those distances. The transmitter sends out video/audio to up to 4 receivers simultaneously, but the BEST feature is that the transmitter can also send out video/audio to up to an additional 4 devices, mobile devices running their free viewer app. There’s a tiny bit more latency with the app (running on an iPad) vs. the dedicated receiver, but it’s negligible and not noticed in our type of use. Btw - we USED to use a 500’ reel of ultra rugged cat -6 STP shielded Ethernet type cable with Radionics encrypted modules on each end. it was nearly perfect video, but dropping the cable was a real pain.
Thanks Phil! That means a lot, man. Looks like I’ll be doing a few more of these, too! It’s a first step for sure. But I’m really looking forward to adapting this thing and engaging with a new audience. You guys are my biggest support:) Thanks for being an inspiration and solid encouragement.
Ahh that's so good to hear! I knew that I needed some help constructing my own, so I was thinking others out there are facing similar problems. So, I'm glad you found it helpful!:). I've got a few more equipment breakdowns coming soon. My list keeps on growing:P.
@@henriqueberaldi9345 Haha amen. It's always changing! Before you know it, it'll be WAY outdated:P. But that's the gear game for ya. Gotta keep playing somehow!
I look up the Nucleus M pricing and I get a heart attack. haha. Good content though. ICG 600 people can easily afford whatever they want when they get on a few shoots. 😎
Haha the whole kit might have a heft pricetag on it, but there's the Nucleus Nano, as well as smaller versions of the same setup that are definitely more affordable. Check out the Nano! It's pretty killer, especially for the pricepoint.
My man, thank you so much! Honestly, I had a hard time finding exactly what I wanted, so I built it myself, thinking others might run into the same thing I did. So I’m really glad that you found this helpful and thorough:):)
This specific model is not built in wireless. There are models that SmallHD and Teradek created together that have built in wireless. The downside is, when a new receiver comes out, you have to buy a new monitor/wireless receiver combo, rather than just the monitor OR the wireless receiver. Pros and cons to each:)
Hey man! The yellow Allen key kit is one I picked up from a general hardware store. The other black one with the more versatility is the RED Sidewinder. You can find that one here: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1572519-REG/red_digital_cinema_790_0678_sidewinder.html
Ahh that's fantastic! Glad this helped give some direction as you build out. That's why I made it:) Couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, so I needed guidance. Was thinking others would be in the same predicament I was in, so I captured a breakdown. I'll be doing another equipment build for my handheld RED Gemini setup as well, so stay tuned for that one too!
Great great set up - one question - what if you have the Nano Wireless Follow Focus "N" is there an adapter/clamp i can mount the wheel on the right side like you did here? thx
Hey man! Totally! I love that little Nucleus M. I don't own one QUITE yet, but for mounting something like that to the cage, I'd use this: tilta.com/shop/nucleus-nano-hand-wheel-15mm-rod-adapter/
@@EvanPollock beauty. I'm emulating this setup this weekend! I had built it out in my head and then found your video to confirm everything was going to work the way I wanted. Thanks for posting it!

Evan Pollock, just remember, starting a RUclips channel is like eating an elephant. The only way to do it and survive is a little bite at a time. If you eat it all at once, you’ll explode; if you stop eating you’ll never finish.
@@markyfrencho Amen, name of the game. Thanks for the reminder! Slow, steady, and consistent. It's the LOOONG game. Get ready for things to get weird real quick. haha
Awesome! I love the cable within the coil idea. Is there any way to mount the Teradek in the centre of that back plate, or does that gap not permit it? Just so it doesn't put undue strain on left or right hands if you're holding it all day? And would it make sense on this setup to offset the weight of the Nucleus on the right, by mounting it left?
You know I think you could be onto something there! Haha, the main reason I mounted it on the far right (or far left, whichever you prefer) was mainly to allow room for additional future add-ons, in case I wanted to build more into it. Also, it allows for your cables to stick inwards without the possibility of them bulging out on the sides. But honestly, you could mount it center or on the left side to help with the weight in one hand. The only downside of mounting it in the middle is that you won't get that extra security of an additional middle screw. The wooden camera cage is so solid and versatile, you can definitely play around with the orientation and find a way that works better for you. That's what I love about things like this! You can mess around with it until you find something solid that YOU like.
@@EvanPollock Thanks for the reply! Would it work on the left, but flipped so the SDI ports still stick inwards? Thanks for humouring my questions! Good to know about the middle downsides.
Haha it's not the cheapest thing in the world, but it DEFINITELY is not the most expensive rig. This is definitely on the cheaper side of things, but there are so many great options that are affordable. This is just what fit my needs for a build:)
@@EvanPollock yea i definitely agree. how game changing do you think this is on set. rn i just kinda one man band it, but i feel like this would make so much of a difference
@@NathanCasares I LOVE this and always use this when shooting with more than a one person crew. Honestly, it's been game changing for my direction, so I can focus on performance of the talent as well as pulling focus. And if I'm solo shooting, but the client is there with me, it becomes their "client monitor" so they can see what's going on on set. I rarely leave a shoot without this set up, ESPECIALLY when I have someone else operating camera. It means that they can focus on getting the shot and not have to worry about all the other details.:) If you are a one man band, rarely with someone else on set assisting, it might not make much sense. But as you grow and involve more filmmakers and creatives on your set, it makes all the difference.
@@EvanPollock yea i’ve been looking at so many wireless transmitters but they are all low budget which works for me but I just see too many drawbacks, i’m thinking that this just makes more sense to work towards and be happy with the result
@@NathanCasares Teradek has probably one of the most stable wireless transmitters. They can get pricey, but they are worth it because they last so long and are super mountable. You should also check out their smallhd and teradek hybrids. Those are pretty neat, especially when you just want a simple wireless monitor setup.

$3,000+ directors monitor setup and doesn’t even come with a tx? Way too expensive. But, I guess not to the right buyer.

AHh thank you! Sorry for the late response!
What pelicase did you use?
I actually used an off brand one. I’ll check that out on Monday to see which one it was. It came with another item I purchased.
One of the best short gear build up tuts I’ve seen Evan. This is awesome.

Haha solid! You could probably find this smallhd model on ebay for MUCH cheaper. It's an older model.
so i can get a regular small hd monitor to make wireless or was that one wireless

@@vizualizefilmsllc6225 Yeah man! Glad to be of service and point you in the right direction:). Keep on creating!
Is there some kind of baby pin receiver you could add to something like this so you could quickly mount it on a stand?
Actually, it already has a female receiver built in the bottom of this cage, so you can mount it on a light stand or c-stand easily.:). Soooo YES!
can you slap this whole set up onto a tripod/ combo stand?
Yes, you can! It's got a fixture for that:)
First comment! Lots of solid details for a breakdown!
Thanks for being the first one! WOOT! Welcome to the chaos that is sure to ensue. Haha
How long can work with that one V-mount battery ? 5 hours?
Oh yeah, for sure 5 hrs, if not more! Great power saver
I wanted to see examples of use. Is there any lagging etc?
No lagging:). Teradek has incredible video transmission abilities, making it the best wireless option on the market.
What kind of screws go into the bottom of the Teradek receiver? Thanks for helping out!
Yo! The screws that go in the bottom actually came with the Wooden Camera Cage:).
