That is a well thought out rig. Love it. Fair total price too.


I liked once. 🤓. Thanks Gerald.

Recording straight to the T5 SSD is magical. I don't think I can ever go back now.

Glad to see other YouTubers embracing the IndiPro Tools solution!

[PeterYacono]

Loved that last power option for run and gun. Great work.

Hi Gerald, ive read it is not advised to have the lpe6 inside when running an external battery. In a FB group i have someone give me this reaseon: "It is right. You should not have a battery inserted in the camera, while using an external 12V.
The reason is that the control and load circuit of the LP06 has a fairly high consumption, between 4 and 8 w, which is subtracted from what the camera needs to operate.
Therefore, you would have to supply about 22 Watts for the camera, and with the energy expenditure of the LP06 inserted, it could reach or exceed 30 watts.
With a dummy battery, the external one should only provide the power equal to the LP06, without activating charging circuits."

Any thoughts on this?

Excellent recipe you’ve put together. Very compelling..

[mattsiiteri]

damn the ending really put it into perspective. Thanks for putting this all together. It's still very relevant in 2022 imo

You're quickly becoming one of my favorite channels to watch. You explain everything so well and are engaging and fun to watch.

[Alec_keski]

what is the attachment for the metabones to the cage?

[TheHollermann]

The mount of the monitor and the focus wheel is ingenous, but i miss the description of what parts you used to do this. Seems like you start with a Smallrig BSE2431, then a DJI RS-004? And from then...what are those?

[Hexspa]

Sick. I'll watch this in five years once I learn my current camera. #remindme!

[smallrigofficial]

Love the build! Thanks for all the support and great rigging options for your viewers! 🤝🤝

@6:08 I've always thought this, why block that beautiful screen with a V mount. Thanks for sharing your solution.

[davidogburn]

I remember you mentioning the pocketed battery solution on your Livestream. That's genius!

[Ilikemakingthings]

Not super relevant to the content here, but I’ve been chopping through heaps of your older videos and newer, the audio in the later videos is so buttery smooth! This one the voice sounds fantastic compared to a few older videos.

Such excellent and informative content also, thank you!

[ADAM]

great information, im so much closer to switching from A7III to BMPCC4K and just living that manual focus life 100%

[gcprost]

Thanks for alerting us to the Portapak solution. That might work for me.

[bobceffo]

this removed a great deal of doubts I had....
thanks!

[DevonBlueWhitaker]

Yes!!! Please do more bmpcc4k videos!!!

[sheawee]

Gerald, thanks for mentioning the Porta Pak power alternative. I'm considering this for some documentary work and wanting to go as "stripped down" as possible. Being able to mount the camera on top of the battery will really help reduce bulk and create even cleaner and quicker access to the back monitor. Thanks for always providing such thoughtful content.
