I really love this channel. Am from Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬 and honestly, Nigel Barros is my favorite budget indie filmmaker on YouTube

[TOESERONE]

what you do is that i want all that stuff even if i dont need it. great video 😎👍

[Pinpoint]

Wow Nigel your set up looks awesome You gave me really good ideias thanks

[extremekidproductions]

How well does that mic mount work? I would have thought you would get a lot of handling noise through the rubber etc compared to the yellow shock mount.

[ChefforBrains]

Do you have a link to this half cage? I don’t see it listed in the description.

[tonywatson]

Great mini rig everything thing you need in compact form do you use a flag with the matte box and does it get in the way of the mic?

[leoclayton]

Thats is good looking rig Nigel give me ideias thx

[TheWholePicture]

Great video! I'm also a fan of minimalist/ergonomic rigs. For the right situations a little can go a long way and help you get more creative shots than larger rigs. I also think the viewfinder cup you have is the cherry on top of a rig like this! Using built in viewfinders has been key in my minimalist rigs but I find the standard ones aren't always the best for video. It would be great to see a video on something as simple as changing out the stock viewfinder!

Wow, someone else with a VT-350 head? I hated getting rid of it since it was leaking so much oil after a job in a blazing hot day...

[Star-Trekking]

You talk about Olympus but in the video i see a Lumix!!!! Is this a serious video?

[phillychannel]

Camera rig doesn't have electronics circuits, firmware and motors that tends to malfunction after few months. It doesn't have built in batteries that may die after few months or year.

[CraigSinclair]

Great rig Nigel. Jealous I £idnt wait for the godox mic.
When you stack the 7artisans filters, is the vignetting noticeable - asking for a "friend"

[EricJKuhns]

Awesome video! This Is the type of rig I'm looking to build. Had a blast skating the ditch with you too, haha. 🤘

[aramisgrey]

You could still trim it down by replacing the matte box with a flag.

[NatesFilmTutorials]

That 7artisans ND filter looks interesting! I love my Nisi true color but I do wish it could stop down a bit further than 5 stops

[coffeewithdamian]

How long this monitor runs on one battery?

[satchelack]

Oi, cada! I love the consistent focus on tight and tidy on your channel. It’s so easy to end up lugging around an ungainly and awkward setup.

Did you switch from the Freewell ND filter setup because of constraints from the matte box? I love them for photography. (It’s so bright in Goiás that I have to use ND filters all the time.)

[StephenBell_video]

Rocking versatile little rig and that mic is amazing value! 👏👏👏

[edjefferson]

That mic. Buy the Rode and support the original designers. This is basically IP theft. Not cool.

I prefer half cages, too! For my A7IV I had to use a full cage because the half cage options were either lacking on some way or incorporated leather at some places. In the end I went with the cage from Smallrig and the only thing that annoys me from time to time is that I can't mount the camera in a vertical position. Luckily, that comes up so rarely for me that it is not much of a bother. I have been looking at different camera monitors and seeing yours reaffirmed that I don't need a big one for my setup. Thank you!
