Caleb, your ability to consistently produce high quality, high value content never ceases to amaze me. Great timing too. I was just thinking about getting an external monitor lol!

I love the F22 system, used some of it for my first rig build last year. I ended up building a monster rig for my current client work as I'm a one man band, and it definitely makes reconfiguring things so easy.

THE BEST YOUTUBER BUILDING CINEMA RIG'S, SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE... WITHOUT A TON OF ACCESSORIES LIKE ALL THE OTHERS DO.

In the beginning I didn't care how big, now I want it as small and LIGHT as possible. Also, the less distracting, the better!

I went out and purchased the Ulanzi system when I discovered Caleb for the very first time, and have used these for absolutely everything. It is brilliant, and literally every piece of kit I have has this system attached enabling me to move things around easily, even on the GearTree I use all without screwing a single bolt on or off !! Thanks Caleb ! I do want that plate though so yet again you’ve cost me money Caleb but I’ll forgive you :-)

Happy to see love for the Kessler Kwik plate; I recognized it immediately. Very solid piece of kit!

Looks like everyone is downsizing! Now that I find myself traveling a lot more often, I’m currently building out my travel cine kit. So from a beefed up S1H + Ninja V + Mirage VND rig, I’ll now be packing the S5 iix + RS 3 Mini + Mavic Mini 3 Pro + Lumix f1.8 primes.

thoughtful design. smallrig / kondor blue should hire you as a consultant

The FX30 is the GH4 of the modern era, it’s the camera that everyone universally agrees is THE camera for social media content creators and has every feature you’d want a damn good price point. Was very happy with my GH4 and so far I am very happy with my FX30

The problem with most of these ‘mini rigs’ that I see suggested on YouTube is that the suggestions seem to totally ignore sound. Do all of you record sound externally? Are you only shooting B-roll? Where’s your sound?

You are the sole reason my Amazon wishlist is as ridiculous as it is. Appreciate you.

After filming a week long music festival, i learnt the vauable lesson of the smaller the setup the better. 👍

[DiveInto]

Love love love these videos, the learning, the quality and best of all, the channel shares all the magic that goes on to create them. They are just an absolute pleasure to watch. Thanks Caleb

I was looking into right angle HDMI cables for my Z CAM and bam you show one of Kondor Blue's new products, can't wait

[falcam_geartree]

Thanks for sharing, it means a lot to us! Appreciate that!🙌

[iComplainer]

Can't seem to find an answer to whether those falcam rails serve as standard nato rails too? Or are they incompatible with nato clamps?

[irfaanaqil]

The video is super great. Please i really need to know the name of transition of components at 0:06🤣

Caleb you always come up with cool ideas

Thanks for the interesting video. With regard to the Hollyland M1, I ended up returning it. First of all, the system has quite some lag even if directly connected via an HDMI cable (your follow focus system would be frustrating to use / borderline unusable in any configuration). Secondly I had quality issues with this system, whereby I ended up returning 2 of the monitors which started to flicker heavily and were clearly defective. Furthermore, the monitor lost its settings when restarted, which is also frustrating. It is a nice design and concept, which I really wanted to love, but was disappointed in. Needs a version 2 which addresses these issues.

I really like the Kessler arca Swiss plates too. In Europe those are quite difficult to get, but the brand ProAim makes similar plates under part numbers BP213 (short) and BP214 (long) and do ship in Europe from Belgium. They don't make a nice alternative to the Kessler Kwik Release Receiver V2.
