This is like the small filmmaker version of watching home tours of mansions. I have no intent on getting to that stage in the near future but it's nice to watch!
This isn't a mansion, it's a suburban bungalow with a nice bathroom and maybe a garage or finished basement. It looks super fancy until you realize the guy works from home. hard. and he doesn't live in the city. (yay metaphors) This isn't unattainable, it's a camera, a work tool. You have to work to afford work tools, it takes time. Cheers!
@@CasenFerg it just happens. i own this camera, the Easyrig, a Glidecam and vest, and a lot of the Smallrig attachments just because I wanted...more control over time. This guy is spot on.
This cable management gave me so much anxiety but I could watch videos like this all day long of people just setting up and tearing down cameras. Love to see how everyone else does it.
So, two things: 1. I ALWAYS wanted to find a video of one of these camera rigs being assembled, to get an idea of what does what.... this is the FIRST video from one of my favorite channels that did it. 2. For requesting people to unsubscribe, they have a SURPRISINGLY low dislike rate on this video lol. A LOT of folks must have been looking for this kind of vid. Awesome work guys.
If you make it to the end of this video I will be VERY surprised. Lots of technical stuff here from someone who doesn’t know about technical stuff. I wasn’t feeling well while filming this video but I tried to fake it. The A camera was the Ursa Mini Pro and the B camera was the Pocket 4K. The camera in the background was the Arri Alexa Classic. Also, at the end of the video I lash out against image stabilization but we actually use it all the time...just not with this camera.
Brah, was just thinking about this. But idk if it really translates to results in terms of productions becoming dramatically better in final result. I found rigs like this significantly slowed down productions for me but to each film's particular needs. Thanks for the quality content and hope you are safe!
We all have those days. Recently, mostly. Look at blade runner or Jaws or Jurassic park, some of those dollies wouldve loved some IBIS or IS ahaha. Today, those shots would be fireable for both the DP and dolly grip and would be fixed in post lol.
Fantastic. My Blackmagic rig is fairly massive as well. I've had crew members chuckle at me because I shoot so much handheld, with a 20+ pound rig. But it fits me like a glove, the added weight makes for smoother movement, and I've got everything I need at my fingertips. Plus it looks a hell of a lot more legit than if I'd shown up with a DSLR and a gimbal, now doesn't it!
Great setup! I appreciated your comment that everyones eye is different and it's important to build the camera rig to fit your personal needs. It all depends on the project and user needs. Sometimes I'll slim down my rig for run n' gun shoots but build it up for larger productions.
I found what you said SUPER insightful. " Every filmmaker has they're own special way of seeing the world." LOVE THIS CHANNEL. Also, Mean negative comment. grrrrr.
As someone who’s spent countless hours building and rebuilding my rigs in the never ending search for rig quintessence I can definitely say you’re my kind of madman. Bravo. And as an aside, I can attest to the pure joy of shooting my totally stripped down Leica M10-P for stills. The complex and the simple, always volleying back and forth. The mind, one’s greatest muscle, stays strong.
The REAL reason for a mattebox when the g2 has ND built in? You can charge an extra 10%. Lol. And on smaller rigs a big bulky mattebox allows you to charge 50% more! Once a client remarked that the agency i was shooting for really brought out the big cameras. But it was a 10 year old 1080p Sony. No Arri Alexa - a Sony with slow zoom lens... But it was big. Nobody does business like show business.
I guess it's a joke but I don't think the camera has internal fx filters like a glimmerglass or smth. I mostly use the mattebox to remove unwanted flares
I own the same Camera and another great reason for having a matte box beside all the reasons already mentioned about flares and FX filters is so I can have an IR cut filter in the front of my glass. without it there's a noticeable colour shift when stacking the internal ND's
Just picked up my G2 last week! Shoulder mount attached and v-lock plate on the way. Adding a viewfinder, monitor, handle, etc. one at a time! Some big expenses!
Lol awesome to see a pro with his rig!!!! I own the Sony A7III and i want to shoot Corporate Promotional Video's with it. but i take a few good lessons from this video; control, control, control. Loved your video, thanks!!!!
I am happy to see a practitioner give an honest tutorial. It is clear your choices arise from experience, not ideas from another RUclipsr who has never really worked in the industry. I too like your choice of top handle. I hadn’t seen that one, so thanks for the tip. Leave the Allen wrench in your front box, or ditty bag. Let the assistant manage that mess. And speaking of messes...please get yourself some Velcro cable ties? They will help keep your rig tidy, and believe it or not, some look at those messy cables and think “amateur.” While I hear your reasoning for the shark fin, I am afraid I can’t agree there. But, as you said, to each his own. Good video though. Thanks for the chuckle at the end!
I had to smile because my first BMPCC4K looked almost like that rig (it weighed over 9kg) and I needed an Easyrig (clone), but since I got my second BMPCC4K it's now undergone a diet (still over 5kg). But what I really liked was finally hearing someone else saying they like to shoot from lower than shoulder height. I'm not that tall, but I personally like the fact that things don't always look like the typical eye level shots.
Happy to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't like to see brands. I don't feel the need to advertise for other companies and black on black on black is a sleeker look than a logo/text on black.
I have searched through a lot of videos that were supposed to be camera builds, but none of them covered each part and its purpose with the level of explanation you did. Subscribed. lol
I am so glad that I found your channel, been watching your videos these past few weeks and learning an insane amount! I recently upgraded from a Canon T2i to a Z-Cam E2-S6 cine camera (huge leap right?!) and I've been slowly building it out with parts from Smallrig as well. It's so nice to see other rigs while making your camera your own, love the endless customization options. Just wanted to say I'll be filming a few interviews here in Cleveland for the tourism company Destination Cleveland and your videos about lighting for interviews have really helped me better understand lighting way more than film school ever tried back in the day! I cannot wait to get on set in a few weeks to apply what I've learned from you and your channel! So thanks again and have a nice day! :)
I’ve always been curious about these rigs and I work for a camera manufacturer! It’s always amazing seeing the “naked” camera and then all the addins necessary. Awesome job.
I really love seeing the passion you take in explinations and what you've created. I think a lot of people feel like they need to emulate someone else to be successful when building a rig. But helping people realise that the camera is an extension of your personality, preference and needs is key. Your build is what suits you and no one else. Fantastic video and great explanations. I'm going to subscribe to you and hope others do because of this great type of content. As someone who owns a black magic camera, it's facinating seeing how others build their equipment that I can learn from and see.
Thanks mate for showing off. I have a heavy camera to. It's an x ABC TV Panasonic DVC pro 50. I bought it and said why did I buy this obsolete standard def camera. It now sits and gathers dust
Man that rig, has totally made me realise I don’t want to use cinema cameras hahaha, well at least for now , even with my way lighter rigs I have to take trips to the Chiropractor every now and again, can’t imagine this! 😆
I don't like people telling me what to do... so I'm soooo subscribing! There! Ha! That'll show you!! Also, awesome channel. As a teacher for the greater part of my life, I'd say that you have some great didactic skills.
Amazing video, very well explained, not too slow for me as a more techy person but i feel like it's very easy to understand for non-techy people. Complete agree rigs should be build to taste, I'm trying to combine some smallrig stuff to build out how I like my camera to be
That was exhausting! I almost got as sweaty as you did just watching. That tangle of D-tap power gave me palpitations. I need a lie down now. No scratch audio? Just jamming timecode with sound recordist I guess? I’m tempted by the 50-100 for my c200, just not sure whether it’s a better option than my 70-200. I’ve got the 18-35 a 50 prime and the 70-200 but It’d be nice to just go with the two sigma zooms for most situations. Thanks for sharing your rig!
Gotta love a full rigged G2! Its amazing how it feels like a light camera when I take all the rigging out haha one way I like to mount my teradek is using a smallrig cold shoe monitor mount on the side plate. I love to make my rig as minimal as possible so the teradek stays pretty close to the body. cheers!
I run 4 ursa G1's for my church (i'm the broadcast director) and our rigs look very similar. I love the heavier weight so we can achieve a cinema verte style with no micro jitters.
🔥 Great Video! You look like your struggling there. Haha My problem when using big rigs like this is everything slips all the freakin time, you want to reposition your monitor then it never holds. Then your tripod plate is loose. It’s the worst! Although I never used one, I like what RED does by having everything connected seamlessly with the monitor and accessories. No cable, no mounts.
Hey man, I've got a good chunk of feedback if you're willing to read it all. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) there isn't much I can suggest that you can change. In general, I like your approach for many reasons and I'm thoroughly impressed by each video. The content is excellent, and it surprises me that a channel like this has so relatively few subscribers compared to what else is out there on RUclips. I have no doubt that this channel will grow very fast. One important thing is your personality; you aren''t a douche. You seem genuine and despite having access to very expensive equipment, your message remains twofold: (1) I want to show you how this works or why people use it and (2) I want to show you how to grow. The simple message of "This is MY camera and you don't need one like it" is an important message. Your approach to teaching is excellent. Just the other day you posted a video about a model car on a treadmill. No words were necessary apart from the title. And today, you posted this super high budget cinema rig. Your content ranges from super low budget to super high and it makes for very entertaining and motivating videos. Please, keep this up. You've quickly become one of my favorite RUclips content providers.
i remember when I got a job working on a show which was for TV. Nothing crazy but the producers finally asked me the question I had always wanted to get asked. "Our budget can cover whatever camera you want'. At this point I had only been able to use DSLRs. I quickly said "Sony FS7" cause I really wanted to use a proper cinema camera. Boy that thing was heavy and a pain in the ass to use.
I was surprised to find out yesterday when looking around online, how few if any Super 35 sensor cinematic cameras are made by Nikon and Canon. I guess they're really more photography oriented. Thanks for breaking this down. Blackmagic seems like a good manufacturer overall.
Canon makes some good cinema cameras like the c500 and the c300. Nikon not so much. Blackmagic is a solid company. The ursa 4.6 G2 (shown in this video) and the newer ursa 12k are both wonderful cams and blackmagic really listens to their customers if there are issues.
What this video inadvertently proves, is that with the latest generation of 10-bit/raw DLSR-style cameras, the criticism of having to Frankenstein your DSLR to be workable, is not exclusive to smaller cameras. Great vid, btw!
I’m trying to think of something mean to say. I would never rig a matte box like that! I’ve got nothing. I’m coming from photojournalism and commercial photography into this field. In photojournalism I believed that the more equipment you put between you and your subject takes away from the relationship and with moving picture storytelling I believe the same thing. As far as documentary goes this is a ridiculous rig. As far as scripted, This is amazing. I find myself being torn between the two sides. It took me a long time to build my camera to the simple point it is now but videos like this have been very helpful to describe exactly what needs to be on the camera and why. Thank you.
What’s the reason for using the magic arm to mount the Teradek instead of mounting it directly to the side of camera with the bolt through the side? I feel like for handheld, magic arms are a bit of a nightmare. Like you said though, as long as the build works for the user 🤙
This great and like just the look of the rig and descent lens on it yet all this is the past. The future will digital optical lenses. They will lens than two inches and will be focus multiple zoom lenses from 8mm to 500mm. Yes parfocal and all will have image stabilization but also digital computing stabilization. Lenses will all have chips which will register billions and billions of color and will coordinate with cameras to get 14+ stops of dynamic range . Some of these lenses are currently under development patents will come within 3-5yrs in the meantime let’s enjoy huge 20th century style rigs . Love it
Thanks for the video. Would love to know a couple of things.. 1. How you attached a rosette to the Nucleus M handle, (Looking to buy the nucleus M kit) 2. What type of VMount Battery combination/twin-thing you are using 3. Your flight case to carry everything. Hope you have the time to respond. Would be grateful
Hey the nucleus has a rosette on it... and the Ursa has one so I just connected them. It’s called a shark fin. There are lots of brands. I use a pelican case and break everything down for flight. Usually for day to day I have a case from porta brace with wheels that I use so I don’t have to break everything down.
I am not a cinematographer, I am not planing to become one, but I am a photographer and a small videographer and I fint this video's very relaxing, I just watchd' it brainless cause I enjoyt it
Hi, it looks like you were facing the same issue that I have : as the camera switch between record and playback, the camera shutdown for transitioning between the two and, as the monitor is plugged to the D-Tap power from the Vlock plate (not like you) the monitor (Video Assist 7”) shutdown when going from record mode to playback and reverse. The D-Tap from the Vlock support seem to be a pass threw in the camera and not a direct power from the VLock plugged in. Moreover, when trying to plug another LP-E6 battery to take the switch without shutdown, the monitor seems to make some tic noises and cannot work with the DC-IN and the battery on the back, it always only show the battery and do not take in count the DC-IN plugged in from the Vlock support. Plugging the DC-IN directly from the D-Tap on the Vlock battery itself is working fine. This D-Tap from the original Vlock support seems to have problems. I guess you were facing the same problem so you are plugging your monitor directly on the batteries to avoid this issue. Can you confirm my theory ?
I really appreciate the time that goes into makes these videos man. You are totally a gifted teacher, and I learn more from you than I do from some masterclasses. You don’t waste time talking about about things people can’t afford without a huge budget, and it is all practical real world info. Also this videos is horrible and a huge waste of time, please don’t watch it people 😂😂
Sorry, I love sarcasm so I like the video ... to bad for you! Still run the Gen1 of the Ursa Mini Pro and am happy with it. Personally I'd say it's the best camera out there when it comes to price/value. I found the shoulder rig a little uncomfortable but then again it has the 15mm rod holes (cinema standard is 19mm) for matebox of follow focus. Do you record though the terradeck as well and how well does it hold up? Salute.
This is like the small filmmaker version of watching home tours of mansions. I have no intent on getting to that stage in the near future but it's nice to watch!
This isn't a mansion, it's a suburban bungalow with a nice bathroom and maybe a garage or finished basement.
It looks super fancy until you realize the guy works from home. hard. and he doesn't live in the city. (yay metaphors)
This isn't unattainable, it's a camera, a work tool. You have to work to afford work tools, it takes time.
Cheers!
i happen to know him personally, and even when I call him in the evening he is still working. He loves what he does and can’t stop going
@@alex0589 I agree, this isn't a mansion, this is just a nice family home
Not all “small” filmmakers plan on this. I think it just happens the more you get into film making.
@@CasenFerg it just happens. i own this camera, the Easyrig, a Glidecam and vest, and a lot of the Smallrig attachments just because I wanted...more control over time. This guy is spot on.

I like how you kept the left operational side super clear and put all the extra pieces and cables on the right side, out of the way.
All you need is a gimbal and you have a perfect vlogging rig
Savage
hahahaha
Somebody trying to put this on a dji rs2. it will smash the gimbal.
😂😂😂
yeah, if you're into nose hair close-ups 😂
That camera set up is amazing
Great setup! I appreciated your comment that everyones eye is different and it's important to build the camera rig to fit your personal needs. It all depends on the project and user needs. Sometimes I'll slim down my rig for run n' gun shoots but build it up for larger productions.

Thank you for the video, Sifoo! ♡♡♡ from Malaysia
14:29 You look like a Ghostbuster!! Freaking awesome!
Such a big one, yet so essential. Nice.
As someone who’s spent countless hours building and rebuilding my rigs in the never ending search for rig quintessence I can definitely say you’re my kind of madman. Bravo. And as an aside, I can attest to the pure joy of shooting my totally stripped down Leica M10-P for stills. The complex and the simple, always volleying back and forth. The mind, one’s greatest muscle, stays strong.
This should be renamed "Workout with the Ursa" :D Nice vid!
Thank you for sharing this rig!
WHAT.A.GOLDEN.NUGGET.!
16:50 100% agree. Love this setup
The REAL reason for a mattebox when the g2 has ND built in? You can charge an extra 10%. Lol. And on smaller rigs a big bulky mattebox allows you to charge 50% more!
Once a client remarked that the agency i was shooting for really brought out the big cameras. But it was a 10 year old 1080p Sony. No Arri Alexa - a Sony with slow zoom lens... But it was big.
Nobody does business like show business.
Travis - Minneapolis more filters out than ND lol
Matteboxes help with controlling flares, plus there are other Filters you might use other than NDs
I guess it's a joke but I don't think the camera has internal fx filters like a glimmerglass or smth. I mostly use the mattebox to remove unwanted flares
I own the same Camera and another great reason for having a matte box beside all the reasons already mentioned about flares and FX filters is so I can have an IR cut filter in the front of my glass. without it there's a noticeable colour shift when stacking the internal ND's
Polarising filter is another option the matte box gives.
Just picked up my G2 last week! Shoulder mount attached and v-lock plate on the way. Adding a viewfinder, monitor, handle, etc. one at a time! Some big expenses!
Lol awesome to see a pro with his rig!!!! I own the Sony A7III and i want to shoot Corporate Promotional Video's with it. but i take a few good lessons from this video; control, control, control. Loved your video, thanks!!!!
I am happy to see a practitioner give an honest tutorial. It is clear your choices arise from experience, not ideas from another RUclipsr who has never really worked in the industry. I too like your choice of top handle. I hadn’t seen that one, so thanks for the tip. Leave the Allen wrench in your front box, or ditty bag. Let the assistant manage that mess. And speaking of messes...please get yourself some Velcro cable ties? They will help keep your rig tidy, and believe it or not, some look at those messy cables and think “amateur.” While I hear your reasoning for the shark fin, I am afraid I can’t agree there. But, as you said, to each his own. Good video though. Thanks for the chuckle at the end!

I had to smile because my first BMPCC4K looked almost like that rig (it weighed over 9kg) and I needed an Easyrig (clone), but since I got my second BMPCC4K it's now undergone a diet (still over 5kg). But what I really liked was finally hearing someone else saying they like to shoot from lower than shoulder height. I'm not that tall, but I personally like the fact that things don't always look like the typical eye level shots.
A true cinema camera 🎥❤️

TORCHY DaVinci Resolve can match audio to clips based on waveforms, and the internal mics are really good for scratch audio.

So am in the kitchen cleaning listening to the video, and had to come comment , you are insane? That rig is crazy!
Is Hdmi burnout a issue like on pocket 4k
That double battery is off the hook!
Do you have to turn off camera to change lens
Yes the hdmi connection is always too flimsy for me
Is usually turn of the camera but I don’t sometimes
love your attitude man, soon channel gonna be famous because of this awesome quality and useful content ! thank for that )
This gonna look stupid, but I continue commenting from my second account. And again your stuff is dope.
heard the macgyver theme the whole shot... awesome man
I really love your videos, thank you, thank you, thank you.
i remember when I got a job working on a show which was for TV. Nothing crazy but the producers finally asked me the question I had always wanted to get asked.

One thing I’ve found that I realllllly like are the coiled cable rail mounted d tap splitters. Can find them everywhere. BH, eBay, Amazon
Amazing breakdown! Thank you.

Nice rig ... but u didnt talk about ur the lens as promised ??😂😂
I was surprised to find out yesterday when looking around online, how few if any Super 35 sensor cinematic cameras are made by Nikon and Canon. I guess they're really more photography oriented. Thanks for breaking this down. Blackmagic seems like a good manufacturer overall.
Canon makes some good cinema cameras like the c500 and the c300. Nikon not so much. Blackmagic is a solid company. The ursa 4.6 G2 (shown in this video) and the newer ursa 12k are both wonderful cams and blackmagic really listens to their customers if there are issues.
Nikon does not make a cinema camera at all.
You inspired me to buy both the Cinematics 50-100 and the tilta Nucleus M system! They should pay you :D haha
This is the most lit camera rig i've seen in this World 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 but I have a cuestion: ¿that camera rig has a microphone input?
The camera does. I own the same one. Two XLR inputs
So interesting. Thanks for sharing this ❤
What this video inadvertently proves, is that with the latest generation of 10-bit/raw DLSR-style cameras, the criticism of having to Frankenstein your DSLR to be workable, is not exclusive to smaller cameras. Great vid, btw!
I’m trying to think of something mean to say. I would never rig a matte box like that! I’ve got nothing. I’m coming from photojournalism and commercial photography into this field. In photojournalism I believed that the more equipment you put between you and your subject takes away from the relationship and with moving picture storytelling I believe the same thing. As far as documentary goes this is a ridiculous rig. As far as scripted, This is amazing. I find myself being torn between the two sides. It took me a long time to build my camera to the simple point it is now but videos like this have been very helpful to describe exactly what needs to be on the camera and why. Thank you.
Love the video none the less, great insight!
Had to sub because of the last 30 seconds.
What’s the reason for using the magic arm to mount the Teradek instead of mounting it directly to the side of camera with the bolt through the side? I feel like for handheld, magic arms are a bit of a nightmare. Like you said though, as long as the build works for the user 🤙
Just found your channel... love love love it my friend ...
The added sweat on your forehead is a lovely effect. It drives the intensity of the situation. lololol
Same as mine minus almost everything :P . I'm getting there !
This great and like just the look of the rig and descent lens on it yet all this is the past. The future will digital optical lenses. They will lens than two inches and will be focus multiple zoom lenses from 8mm to 500mm. Yes parfocal and all will have image stabilization but also digital computing stabilization. Lenses will all have chips which will register billions and billions of color and will coordinate with cameras to get 14+ stops of dynamic range . Some of these lenses are currently under development patents will come within 3-5yrs in the meantime let’s enjoy huge 20th century style rigs . Love it
Looks like Terry Gilliam is about to film Aliens
Thanks for the video. Would love to know a couple of things..
1. How you attached a rosette to the Nucleus M handle, (Looking to buy the nucleus M kit)
2. What type of VMount Battery combination/twin-thing you are using
3. Your flight case to carry everything.
Hope you have the time to respond. Would be grateful
Hey the nucleus has a rosette on it... and the Ursa has one so I just connected them. It’s called a shark fin. There are lots of brands. I use a pelican case and break everything down for flight. Usually for day to day I have a case from porta brace with wheels that I use so I don’t have to break everything down.
Epic Light Media thanks for your response man
Epic Light Media really appreciate your time man. Thank you. Any chance you could be a mentor?
I was hopping you would do a full rig 'giveaway'......LOL Hey, you'll never get what you want unless you ask..
Some cutting, making some of those cables shorter and soldering them back up will make cleaner cable management
Just got the Ursa 12K and did some shoots with it, but also noticed the heaviness 🤣. Which easyrig do you have?
I am not a cinematographer, I am not planing to become one, but I am a photographer and a small videographer and I fint this video's very relaxing, I just watchd' it brainless cause I enjoyt it
I love this man 😍
Hi, it looks like you were facing the same issue that I have : as the camera switch between record and playback, the camera shutdown for transitioning between the two and, as the monitor is plugged to the D-Tap power from the Vlock plate (not like you) the monitor (Video Assist 7”) shutdown when going from record mode to playback and reverse. The D-Tap from the Vlock support seem to be a pass threw in the camera and not a direct power from the VLock plugged in. Moreover, when trying to plug another LP-E6 battery to take the switch without shutdown, the monitor seems to make some tic noises and cannot work with the DC-IN and the battery on the back, it always only show the battery and do not take in count the DC-IN plugged in from the Vlock support. Plugging the DC-IN directly from the D-Tap on the Vlock battery itself is working fine. This D-Tap from the original Vlock support seems to have problems.
I guess you were facing the same problem so you are plugging your monitor directly on the batteries to avoid this issue. Can you confirm my theory ?
Hi ! I am soon going to build my Ursa G2 rig and I guess the Easyrig Vario 5 is a must have for that kind of handheld shooting style we love ^^
I really appreciate the time that goes into makes these videos man. You are totally a gifted teacher, and I learn more from you than I do from some masterclasses. You don’t waste time talking about about things people can’t afford without a huge budget, and it is all practical real world info. Also this videos is horrible and a huge waste of time, please don’t watch it people 😂😂
Great video and rig! I think you should get some bongo ties to help with your cable management 👌🏻
If your using the easy rig what is the use of having the vct shoulder base, why not just and a bridge plate of normal baseplate ETC?
Nice!
Love it
damn, I´m a sucker for these kind of videos and then from my new favorite channel... BUT I´m still waiting for the part where you talk about the lens.
Yeah I never did talk about it dang it. However.. there is a video on the channel about the lens
Epic Light Media haha, yeah already binge watched all of them...
Ghost busters gun
That big monitor will introduce wobble to whole system
Awesome!
Bazooka!
Sorry, I love sarcasm so I like the video ... to bad for you!
Still run the Gen1 of the Ursa Mini Pro and am happy with it. Personally I'd say it's the best camera out there when it comes to price/value. I found the shoulder rig a little uncomfortable but then again it has the 15mm rod holes (cinema standard is 19mm) for matebox of follow focus. Do you record though the terradeck as well and how well does it hold up?
Salute.
Why the Dtap Splitter? Doesn't the Shark Fin come with 4 Dtap outlets?
Could you maybe link the ez rig in the description as well? I have no experience with different brands in that catergory
This was very interesting sir.
Thanks!
