Great question! The shoulder rig has remained the exact same with all the original parts still working, however a tip I might have after a year is to consider putting the monitor on a Nato mount and put mounting points on the top handle and the shoulder rig side rod so that you can switch the monitor back and forth without twisting!

Shark thanks! It comes down to personal preference, when using the handheld rig without the shoulder portion, I don’t use a follow focus and get along fine, however, when one the shoulder rig it is definitely handy to have a follow focus! The nucleus is great but as said in the video I like a good old mechanical one as you can get them for cheaper and there are no batteries to worry about. But if you are happy with the price of the nano and don’t mind two more pieces on your rig that need power the nano might be for you! There are a few other companies that make these seamless follow focus rings that fit the sigma so maybe look into other brands! If not you can definitely get by with a traditional follow focus gear ring, the seamless one just saves some headache

Would you say that it’s really important to have it or is just extra precautious. I only ask because the 15 mm rods and lens support are causing me some problems with the gimbal, I want it to work but I don’t want to put my sigma or speed booster at risk. I have the little meta bones part that connects the speed booster to the rig is, is that good enough or would you still recommend using the 15mm lens support, thanks

The most common rig setups I’ve seen everyone post about are all front heavy, and I’ve used rigs like that and it sucks. Using a properly balanced rig is huge for hours of use, and so far I’ve only seen one KZitemr emphasize it in their rig.
@spetsovich

yeah i think he needs to extend rods at the rear and attach one of those counterweights, or move his vmount battery setup there. Then he will achieve True Balance, :-) Another thought: isn't it cumbersome to use shoulder rigs when your subjects are different heights? NBA players vs little kids, how do you work around that?
@brian.durkee

Sliding the V Mount and rig back a bit is the best way to achieve an ideal balance with this rig, and it can certainly be done! Shooting people of different heights is definitely tricky! I find myself doing splits almost when filming shorter people to be at a proper level, kids I normally crouch or go on my knees to film them, and NBA players will either be shot from a lower angle (unless on tip toes) or they just need to hire a taller videographer. :)

I just recently got the BMPCC4K and almost completely copied this rig for my first build. I used it for a mostly run-and-gun documentary shoot. My thoughts: - The core of the rig (BMPCC4K; Atomos Shinobi; SmallRig full cage, SSD mount, cold shoe extender, top handle, HDMI and USB-C cable clamps, base plate with rod rail clamps, 8 inch CF 15mm rods, articulating monitor mount, V-mount battery) are all great. An amazing starting point for any rig that you can keep even if you change your build. - The handheld rig at the core of this is also great, but has one somewhat fatal yet unavoidable flaw: It makes the main screen basically unaccessible, which you need to be able to access for controlling some exposure and video settings, as well as controlling audio levels. This may not make a major difference for studio-type shoots, but for run-and-gun, it can be a nuisance at times. If you could scoot the battery back some, that would be great, but depending on your lens setup (I was shooting with a Laowa 17mm 1.8 MFT lens that is microscopic compared to Brian's Speed Booster and Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 setup), having the battery right up against the screen is the only way to have a balanced handheld rig. - Although the quick release mount is the best possible solution for switching between the handheld and the shoulder rig, it isn't exactly built for high speed run-and-gun situations. This is mostly because of the remounting of the monitor, which can feel like hours in high pressure shoots. Once again, totally fine for studio-type shoots, but for run-and-gun purposes, a better (and pretty comparably priced) option would be to mount the Shinobi with the SmallRig 1897 EVF bracket mount so you can switch systems with a little more ease. It also doesn't exactly fit well in a backpack, if that's of any concern for you. - The V-mount plate by SmallRig with the railblocks is a great cheaper option than many of the plates offered, but it automatically locks in the battery to the very back of your rod system - less than ideal if you're like me and would like to add something like a chest pad to the back to create a run-and-gun shoulder and handheld system. - If you're like me and use MFT lenses, get the Tilta Nucleus Nano for a follow focus system and you won't regret it. The focus ring for my Laowa 17mm is almost right up against the camera body, and this is the only system that can reach it. - Some other thoughts: Maybe this is just on my camera, but audio levels are extremely low when using a 3.5mm jack microphone. I used the VideoMicro and while I did get good audio on it, I had to have the gain cranked to 100% every time I shot (was also using it for nat sound, not just scratch audio). I have since purchased a mini XLR to XLR pack, a cold shoe shotgun microphone shock mount and a Rode NTG 2, which has given me much better audio. I also think, from my experiences shooting at high noon in the summer, you need a sun hood for you Shinobi. 8sinn makes a great cage - the Shinobi is super lightweight for some reason and it makes me nervous at times - that also comes with a sun hood for around $120. Much more useful IMO. This is otherwise a great setup, and for my first time rigging, I have to really thank Brian for providing this awesome tutorial. The video that came out of the BMPCC4K on my shoot was awesome as a result.
@curtisfranklin9303
4 жыл бұрын
@Edvard A The solution I've settled on, mostly because I've been exclusively shooting run and gun stuff, is just using the handheld rig as a shoulder rig as well. I got a hand strap to put on the right side of the camera, so whenever I need to be at eye level, I put my hand thru that, tuck the V-mount battery into the right side of my chest and tilt the monitor down a little bit. It works extremely well, especially when you don't have time to convert to a shoulder rig. I've also noticed it removes the "oooh, look" factor that the shoulder rig has to it - much more discreet with very similar results. I also am frequently in public spaces and on public transit with my rig and this breaks down much easier into a backpack to be completely unnoticeable. I probably wouldn't use this for a full day of shooting as a shoulder rig, but I know LanParte makes a good chest pad if you wanted the best of both worlds, but it is a little pricey (over $100 I believe). I'm fine with using the battery as my chest pad. I haven't tried the SmallRig 1897 mount for the monitor, but I think you could find a way to work. Plus, it would mount straight to this top handle if you slide it the other way around. My only concern would be all the cables sticking out from the camera - I have a USB-C, D-Tap, HDMI, mini XLR, 3.5mm (if using Rode Filmmaker kit) and headphones sticking out at any given time during a shoot - obstructing your view, but it would be worth a shot. Just need to find a way to maybe balance the right side of the camera since this would mount to left side of the handle. I also can't stress this enough - a sun hood for the Atomos Shinobi is a MUST. In broad daylight, it is near impossible to see anything on the screen. Hope this all helps.

What if I want to mount the whole rig on a tripod?

Ugh, I have a headache. This really is a great build, one of the best. Its just that for my Pocket 6K I have a Tilta cage w LWS quick release base which has 15mm rod support, which I need for my Pictor zooms (they ain't ever quick releasing since the lens support is needed at all times) AND... rather than cut my losses and start over, I'm stubbornly working around it, even though it will likely be much more expensive. I'm trying to use as much of your ideas as possible, but convert it for the TIlta standard. Maybe I should buy (another) 160 dollar Tilta dovetail to slap on top of this rig? Or maybe... idk. There might be one or two other possibilities with the expensive Tilta universal shoulder pad (includes both Arri and Tilta dovetail plates), the super expensive Tilta shoulder rig (which is a special order I don't want to wait for anyway... just kinda like the long simple dovetail on it). Thought about just adding handles to the current support rods (or longer ones) and along with that Tilta shoulder pad and calling it good, but it would probably be kinda hard to make it fit on a tripod with that shoulder pad in the way... might almost work. (I mean that the handle grips and everything would just stay on the camera at all ties, even while on a tripod. It's too heavy to really do any quick handheld stuff, so its mainly going to be a dedicated shoulder rig with tripod capabilities... maybe someday an Easyrig or Galaxy Arm, or whatever those things are called.) Yeah... probably should just see if I can attach a Tilta dovetail to the top of whatever part this is on your shoulder rig. Although... I'm still tempted to waste time attempting to make it so I can just take it off the tripod and its ready, instead of having a detachable shoulder rig... just have it in shoulder mode ready to go... If you or anyone actually reads this, sorry its so long and that I didn't give a super clear picture probably. Maybe I should upload a short clip of it here on my channel or something. (Although I was hoping to get this solved like... tonight ha!)

Not entirely sure how the rig looks, but from reading your comment. I wouldn't worry about putting a shoulder rig on a tripod. It's meant to be on your shoulder, it could be nice to have a quick and easy assembly from shoulder rig - tripod but don't worry about it. Plus you don't want your shoulder rig accesories on the tripod since you don't need it at the moment when it's on the tripod.

Hi Brian quick question is the Morph Mod ok with the 6k. The fine print is saying BMD cameras within EF mount may not be suitable, due to the flange distance wanted to know before I make this purchase.

you can still kinda touch it or take off the battery and use the internal battery for this short time... or you can flip the battery mount so you will then have space

I tried your set up, but the rail blocks under the quick release plate blocked the access to the red lever of the quick release... Do you have any tips to solve this?
@brian.durkee

The red lever is a ratcheting type screw so if you pull it out towards you you can adjust its position

How would you focus if you’re shooting shallow depth of field on something like a documentary. Would one hand go off the grip? Will the footage be tilted because of uneven balance?
@brian.durkee
3 жыл бұрын
Yes, typically have one hand off of the grip then find a balance just by practicing so the footage is level with the horizon!
