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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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 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 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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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 🤙
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.
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!
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!
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
@@EpicLightMedia I been searching a way to use the record button on Tilta nucleus nano for my blackmagic pocket 4k and 6k but no luck. Just wondering if that wire you got for your Ursa work on the 4k and 6k. I guess not bc 4k and 6k doesn't have the same trigger input as Ursa.
what cable was used to be able to start and stop record with the nucleus M hand grip? I read that the companys start/stop cable is not compatible with the ursa mini
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 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.
Manfrotto has a nitrotech head we use. It actually looks dinky but does a great job. I want a new sachtler though cause our current tripod is almost not enough sometimes.
I have this same camera. However i bought a feelworld field monitor and bought an sdi out converter to attach to the camera and monitor however, the monitor still doesnt work how can i make the monitor work with camera. Feelworld monitor is 4k
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 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.
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
@@EpicLightMedia Oh man, that's said to hear. I'm thinking about buying one though. I used to own the Ursa Mini 4.6K and that was a little too heavy for me. Have you took a look at DZOfilms Pictor cine Zooms? Thanks
🔥 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.
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.
Looks like a great G2 setup. How did you find a run/start cable that is compatible between the URSA and the Nucleus-M? I tried the cable that had URSA on the friendly list - it didn't work. After talking to Tilta they then removed URSA in the description on their site for that cable version. Do you have a link to the cable you use? Thanks!
I've been looking for an arm to put on my Ursa g2 to carry the very heavy blackmagic 7 inch focus assist monitor but i couldnt find one that i really trusted, i looked at one you use and that and a weight cap of 1.5kg so i got worried if anyone accidentially put any force on the monitor the arm would break but if it works for you i'll probs buy it and give it a shot
This is a really helpful video! I do have a question about your focus grip. Looking to get a better one for my rig. Its a Tilta Nucleus grip, but is that the right or left grip specifically? You can buy them separate...wanna get it right.
Hahahaha! Actually I want to make a video about this, the pocket 4K and 6k are perfect little companions to the ursa that can “live” in a gimbal configuration for camera movement
Usually the handheld is smooth, especially since most of our footage is 48 or 60fps and it’s on a easyrig. They fit together nicely. Of course.... that’s just my opinion haha. Also lately I’ve been using tripod more and more often for 24fps. Too much handheld can get intense.
What’s the tripod head you have here? I’m calculating total weight of the rig I eventually wanna buy and it seems pretty much like yours. My plan is to get essentially the same rig except with the pocket 6k, which will be slightly lighter, but since I’m buying all the expensive legs and fluid head, I want that to work for my URSA G2 I get eventually as well. It seems like my numbers were pretty much on with yours, 25-30lbs ish. Ive noticed the second you hit or pass that 30lb weight capacity for fluid heads the price skyrockets. All the 26.5lb ones are much cheaper. Is that the manfrotto 504x?
My UMPG2 is about to come. What memory would you suggest for 4.6K raw 120 fps? Is that SSD via USB-C any good or it drops frames? I suppose you're running on C-Fast, do you need 2 of them for this recording format? Been enjoying this channel for a while. Content is excellent and photography is pretty pleasing - great work.
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.

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!

Matteboxes help with controlling flares, plus there are other Filters you might use other than NDs

Tilta Nucleus-M: Why use cables when it's wireless ?
The motors need power, hence the cables. The motors and the handle or hand unit can be apart though.
Nothing like seeing a grown man play with his toys, his very expensive toys.
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?
Super great Video !!
nice idea on rigging camera!!
Can you post a link to where you got the start/stop cable that works with the Tilta and the Ursa. I can’t find one that’s comparable.

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
@Epic Light Media i have one question, why arent you using a EVF? or in which situations do you switch to an viewfinder? br
I never know I can custom build my camera to this level. I can see the benefits of doing so. thx
i'm subbed to this channel for the elegant solutions.
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
SO GLAD I FOUND THIS CHANNEL
Just got the Ursa 12K and did some shoots with it, but also noticed the heaviness 🤣. Which easyrig do you have?
Could you maybe link the ez rig in the description as well? I have no experience with different brands in that catergory
Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good.... Which EasyRig are you using?
Hmm I’m not sure what kind. It’s the easyrig brand but I’m not sure how much weight it can hold and stuff
Epic Light Media thank you
Hi! Thanks.. just one question if I can, You are controlling Focus and Zoom from 1 handle? Tahnk You!
Yes there zoom and focus control on the handle
@@EpicLightMedia thank You! so You can control 2 motors with 1 handle, tobe sure :)
@@EpicLightMedia Finally I got Nukleus, so everything is clear! :)
What type of lens is on the camera and what's the cost?
Hey! Watch the video on our channel real cine lenses for cheap part 1 and 2
Is this rig lighter than the Arri Alexa? Thanks
Yes the alexa is unbearably heavy... like ridiculously heavy
@@EpicLightMedia Oh man, that's said to hear. I'm thinking about buying one though. I used to own the Ursa Mini 4.6K and that was a little too heavy for me. Have you took a look at DZOfilms Pictor cine Zooms? Thanks
A true cinema camera 🎥❤️
WHAT.A.GOLDEN.NUGGET.!
Amazing breakdown! Thank you.
🔥 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.
Right I wish more big camera manufacturers would sell cameras that don’t require so many cables and accessories
Lol as soon as you said "please unsubscribe" I subscribed.
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.
Hi, great videos ELM, what shoulder rig are you using?

Thanks man! I appreciate you!
Just found your channel... love love love it my friend ...
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 love your videos, thank you, thank you, thank you.
You didn't talk about the lens? I know you spoke briefly about it on another video... but is that lens still on sale?
Yeah! Pchood.com
Looks like a great G2 setup. How did you find a run/start cable that is compatible between the URSA and the Nucleus-M? I tried the cable that had URSA on the friendly list - it didn't work. After talking to Tilta they then removed URSA in the description on their site for that cable version. Do you have a link to the cable you use? Thanks!
I’ll try to find it. I’ll keep you posted
@@EpicLightMedia Thanks, that would be a huge help. Great content, man.
Hey sorry we tried to find out where we bought the cable but we couldn’t figure it out. It must have been a site either then BH or amazon.
I've been looking for an arm to put on my Ursa g2 to carry the very heavy blackmagic 7 inch focus assist monitor but i couldnt find one that i really trusted, i looked at one you use and that and a weight cap of 1.5kg so i got worried if anyone accidentially put any force on the monitor the arm would break but if it works for you i'll probs buy it and give it a shot
Yeah it’s great I highly recommend it
I'm getting different weight caps on different sites for the exact same product... unless i'm being a dumbass here
lol the site i was looking at was the articulating arm not the magic arm haha
This is a really helpful video!
I do have a question about your focus grip. Looking to get a better one for my rig.
Its a Tilta Nucleus grip, but is that the right or left grip specifically? You can buy them separate...wanna get it right.
How do you balance this on a ronin S?
Hahahaha! Actually I want to make a video about this, the pocket 4K and 6k are perfect little companions to the ursa that can “live” in a gimbal configuration for camera movement
@@EpicLightMedia yeah they are great! Dont you think the gimble movements will conflict with your handheld 'style' of movement in the video?
Usually the handheld is smooth, especially since most of our footage is 48 or 60fps and it’s on a easyrig. They fit together nicely. Of course.... that’s just my opinion haha. Also lately I’ve been using tripod more and more often for 24fps. Too much handheld can get intense.
Had to sub because of the last 30 seconds.
So interesting. Thanks for sharing this ❤
What’s the tripod head you have here? I’m calculating total weight of the rig I eventually wanna buy and it seems pretty much like yours. My plan is to get essentially the same rig except with the pocket 6k, which will be slightly lighter, but since I’m buying all the expensive legs and fluid head, I want that to work for my URSA G2 I get eventually as well. It seems like my numbers were pretty much on with yours, 25-30lbs ish. Ive noticed the second you hit or pass that 30lb weight capacity for fluid heads the price skyrockets. All the 26.5lb ones are much cheaper. Is that the manfrotto 504x?
My UMPG2 is about to come. What memory would you suggest for 4.6K raw 120 fps? Is that SSD via USB-C any good or it drops frames? I suppose you're running on C-Fast, do you need 2 of them for this recording format?
Been enjoying this channel for a while. Content is excellent and photography is pretty pleasing - great work.
Hey!! We use c fast and one just works fine. An SSD is nice too though and we use them sometimes for even more recording space
Awesome!
Since you use an ursa mini I thought I'd ask, are you planning on upgrading to the ursa 12k?
Oh..... it’s ordered!
@@EpicLightMedia I'll be awaiting your review
I love this man 😍
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
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.
