UPDATE*** With this battery you are best to go from DC out to Dummy Battery inside the camera. The voltage is correct for the Dummy Battery as some have noticed that the camera shuts down due to the battery outputting 7.4v instead of the inteded 12v to the DC in. However, I havent had any issues with mine, but best to be safe and use the Dummy system with this battery. J
Hi, James. I need help. :) I'm from a small town, and there is no information on how to make a B roll video. I have a Sony A 6400 and Sigma 35 mm. I really liked how you do B roll and I want to try to do it in our city. I need to know what parameters to choose 4K 30 fps or FHD 60 \ 120 fps? with auto focus or manual focus? I know Adobe Prime Pro well, but the videos are not as smooth. I also have a Soviet lens-Helios 44 F2 (50mm non autofocus), which gives a very smooth image, but even with it, when slowing down or accelerating, the video turns ugly. Sorry for the clumsy English. Спасибо - it means thanks
James. Thanks for the video. I am overcoming this with an NP Plate that mounts using a 1/4" thread to any cheese plate. The Plate has a BMPCC Power cable as it's main output but also offers a 7.4v output via a DC connector to power my monitor.. So I can share 1 battery between camera and monitor - the monitor only needs 7v (Andycine - like yours). See the item here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NP-F970-Battery-to-Blackmagic-BMCC-4K-BMPCC-Power-Supply-Plate-Adapter-for-Sony/124027620356?hash=item1ce09f4c04:g:RdMAAOSwGj9eCdAz
D3F4JL7 if you’re trying to get slow smooth footage on the a6400 you’ll need to film in 60 or 120 FPS. Set your sequence in premiere pro 23.976. If you shot your footage in 60 FPS you slow it to 40% and if you shot 120 FPS you slow it to 20%. Doing this with convert the high frame rate to a 24 FPS sequence. This will give you smooth slow motion broll. If you’re not going to slow it down just shoot 24 FPS, 4K or 1080, up to you. as for manual or autofocus I prefer manual, but manual is kinda tough on that sigma lens. Good luck!
Ralph Domenech are you asking me?
Hi,why you take power ou from battery and not from monitor power out?Is it not the same?
“You lot do your thing, I’m gonna do my thing.” 😂, the camera community needs to hear that more often.
Jonathan Jacobs lol Totally agree
sure mate 🤣🤣🤣
Oh that does not end at the camera community lol.
My mom called and I answered with "whats goin' on you lot"
Your accent is very contagious sir
Gary Jahman Please apologise on my behalf to your mom
This is one of the smartest rigs I’ve ever seen. Wish I had seen this before I bought the Tilta Cage. Great way to think about investing in rigs! Thanks for sharing!!!
Love it. I shoot the same way, lots of public spaces and fully agree. The design of the camera as a DSLR look alike is an important feature.
My 6K is in the bag where the Canon R6 used to be. I have the Tilta screen mod on mine so it has on board SSD and the existing screen is fine for all but bright sun. So for me the rig out involves adding a 2000 nits screen with battery onto a cold shoe mount on the cameras top and a Manfrotto mount plate on the bottom. That’s it. I can go from hand held, to tripod, to mono pod to Crane 3 in seconds. I hate dicking around when out shooting. And so far no one bats an eyelid at me being there and lots of people want to play in front of the lens. Win win.
Well done on making this really cool, super efficient rig.
I love the direction Peaky Blinders is going this year.
He's able to peak in two directions at once. It's just not fair. He's like a fisheye lens.
Bro, i dont know why but I laughed so many times throughout this video lol
Joseph Garcia same dude!
Sameeeeee!!
Same 🤣
U cant help but to laugh when hr talks. Bloke shud b in the movies...lol
From the first ball ache
This is legendary! Problem solved for people like me who are too afraid to shift to BMPCC 6k because it needs to get souped up real heavily to make it actually work. Thanks a million mate!!!!!
"I'm a simple geezer." I can relate mate.
The velcro idea is brilliant
Daaaaaamn, that intro sequence was so smooth🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i own a bmpcc 4k for about a year now. i also own 12pcs of LPE6 batteries. I hated the idea of rigging the crap out of it and putting monstrous batteries on my set up. and the battery grip that BMD released was utter shit. then i came across this vid. You're a life saver.
How do you focus?
very philosophical question.
I was wondering the same thing.
This is what I was coming to ask as well
ua-cam.com/video/07UcPfHEalA/v-deo.html
He explains it here
Magic
6:42 😂😂 "are you taking a piss mate??"
taking "the" piss.
The intro is killing it again, love the light flares at around 38 seconds, but also some really nice tips. UA-cam should add a triple like button ;)
The mounting point for the 6K Pro has changed to where you have your velcro receptor. Where the mounting point for the 6K standard used to be (where you attach the nato rail) is now the viewfinder connector. Just keep this in mind for those of you buying a Pro and wanting to do this setup. The very foundation of this rig (the nato rail) is now compromised.
cheers man . Just saved me buying the wrong kit!
@@justMaddin I'm glad I helped someone! 🙏
Something people should consider is the top 1/4" is specifically stated in the manual as being non load bearing, and NOT to connect a handle directly to it. With that said I think one could maybe Nato rail the bottom of the handle and link it to a base plate.
I watched this video about 30 times. I loved it. I even bought every single piece to mimic his setup and it just doesn't work. The main NATO rail on top only has one point of connection. When moving the camera around that one point becomes loose very easily. A singluar connection will not work for a camera of this caliber. I would swing the camera around and the NATO rail would get loose and the entire top section (monitor, battery, rail) would become loose and swing around freely. You really need two points of connection in order to make this a maneuverable camera. I liked the idea of this, but it just didn't work in real-world applications. I went with a full cage (half cage would work too) because it gave me two points of connection. One underneath the camera and one on top. I wanted this to work really bad, but it just didn't.
I totally saw that coming and bought a SMALLRIG top plate specifically designed for the 4K and 6K to provide another point of non-swivel contact and they still tell you not to mount a top or side handle to the top plate. I ended up buying an under camera version of the same handle and with the top plate everything works out well with the battery grip purchase I was researching cage-less accessory mounting in the first place.
Can’t blame the man for jumping on a BMPCC...I mean how long can people wait for the a7s iii
Brian Maxim a couple months more
@@Babaevmedia If we had a year for every time we've heard that... We'd have 3 years lololol
As if anything Sony puts out will even come close to this lol. They probably cant even beat the Nikon Z6 which now has pro res raw lmfao.
it's a damn travesty waiting for that unicorn, if it's not out this year, I'm out, too many options.
August/September is what Sony Alpha Rumors has said. :(
This guy lives in the real world! Very impressed. My only crit is feeding the camera from a 7.2v camera. There are np-f adaptors which will give a 12v out. Much more hygienic! But excellent and helpful video!
YOUUU LOT! Who can guess how I got the shot at 0:38? 😝 Boshhhh
Stop-motion and then using a speed ramp, or you have photoscanned the rig, then imported the model on Blender/Cinema4D/Houdini and replicated the light in the software also adding a texture on the monitor to imitate reflection of the lights.
@@GabrieleNetto LOL
hmmmm have u got a lil spinny spinny thing under there 🤔🤔🤔
Nets lol what hahaha
You drilled a hole underneath the table and put in a bolt that's attached to the camera and a drill
The B roll of the camera set up alone made me subscribe. Woah.
I like this setup! thanks for the video mate. p.s. you need to show how you did 00:38 ;)
9:56 "The gimble is ready to Rock.......... and Roll". Perfect timing... 😂😂😂
Love this rig and love that battery idea. I do something very similar with my BMPCC original and feelworld monitor :D
An absolute Ball Ache! Very nice video thanks.
that snowboarding footage looks sick! u gotta do a color grading tutorial for those shots mate.
You're my hero mate!
Best Rig I've seen so far for the Blackmagic.
Hearing a Blackmagic with a shutter sound 7:53 gave me a bloody heart attack m8
The BMPCC have viewfinder?
@@sergioflores1352 hh no its cinema camera
@@freefirediamond1973 maybe he have a NFC device in his eye that connects with the sensor of the camera 🤔
Peter Mckinnon => Daniel Schiffer => You. Funny how people recommend their comrades on their channel, communities grow, knowledge spreads, everyone benefits. Watched a few of your videos and I'm gonna keep watching. Great tutorials on lighting setups, audio considerations and so on. Keep up good work mate.
Same for me ;-)
How do you focus? Focus pulling is my main concern . Plz discuss that in future videos
Practice. It's honestly not that bad once you try it. A good exercise to get fast precise manual focus is to push a swing and try and maintain focus on it.
I mean what about moving smooth shots? I can’t pull the focus and expect smooth shots
Like other cameras canon and Sony you don’t gotta worry about those
@@MrAlifarrukh it's a Cinema camera, not like Canon or Sony. One method is to focus and then keep the same distance from your subject. Another method is to mount a follow focus. And practice practice practice.
Greg Tay yes I know we would need extra wireless focus puller but again with new technology cameras coming with autofocus, bm6k should have had auto focus . Beside that I love the camera
Hey James. Thanks for the wicked video. Can't wait to get my BMPCC 6K and build your rig.
Bruv, I just bought myself the 4k version and started looking at builds last month. Then you come out here and show me this minimalistic setup? Get out o' here geezer!
Hows it worked for you? Looking for the same thing
@@ResonantRTS Hey brother, I was waiting for my speedbooster to get here on my 4k before investing more but since the corona the shop i ordered it from closed and now i'm kinda left..... with my paid order in limbo...
I absolutely love that tilt pedestal shot behind the guys back on the mountain. Great stuff!
“I’m a simple geezer.”
Hahaha
Loving the stealth set up for the BMPCC - as much as I love my set up with V-lock batteries and rails it's a monster. This is a pure Ninja style set up!!! BOOOSSSHHHH
What a NAUGHTY setup
Jason Vong Corrr Naughtyyyy 😝
Its the Lock Stock of YT demo vids! Legendary.
4:36 “You lot do your thing, I’m gonna do my thing.”
Way-to-go - love your minimalistic approach! Absolutely beautiful!
Only problem with the gimbal-setup is, that the BMPCC is not great with autofocus.
It is a cinematic camera, not a run-and-gun-.
“It’s not like I’m shooting 6k braw. “ Jajajaja
Christ, was this the best BMPCC rig, explanation, etc. video I've seen. I really will get this set up. Thanks a mil man
Great video!!! I like your style! One question, how do you pull focus when you have your hands busy with the camera body and the handle?
good question! there’s no autofocus on the camera AFAIK
Was wondering the same thing 👌🏽
Ditto ☝🏽
This is the best way to pull focus on the Weebill. It does make balancing a bit more tricky, especially with bigger lenses, but counter weights can always be used! www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1444734-REG/zhiyun_tech_gmb_c527e_transmount_servo_zoom_focus_controller.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyPbzBRDsARIsAFh15JZ8tUuBmL_Uq0lPN26SRVHsvRdM48cxFu8bkcQyT7-Gg9KC2Cu7Y2saAjrgEALw_wcB
You hold onto either the handle or the camera body and rest the other on your forearm. You can underhand the focus ring that way to get what you need
Love this video, love the rig, one of the most watchable and enjoyable camera tip videos I've seen. Cheers mate!
"Just got the saw out, mate" 😂😂😂
YOU make camera showcases fun, MATE!
Glad I found your channel!
who else here like how he talks, nice! lol
I have been rocking my BMPCC OG for 3 years now! This video i think...has made me want to upgrade! I'm all about the Small Kit Crew! Great Video!
So no dummy battery with this setup? Too many suggestions on the internet these days.
YOU ARE HILARIOUS!!
'its not like im shooting 6k raw'!!!
I love how you still using the 10-18 efs lens!
Don't think he sticks with budget lenses for too much longer either !
This is smart and efficient. Thanks for sharing. I’ll have to look into that style of Sony battery
Let’s get in early guys !!!
Hahaha Boshh
just blew my mind with that velcroing ssd drive to the back of the laptop.....I'm having that. You have my respect, and my subscription. Laughed all the way through. Your energy is fantastic haha
Does anyone know where can I get this cold shoe from Zhiyun (where you can mount your microphone as a counterbalance) or how it called? Thanks in advance YOU LOOOT!
i need it too
I also want to know. Looks really great for connection the mic to the camera but dont have to worry to collide with the gimbal
I just found it on amazon.com www.amazon.com/dp/B083PZXFRV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_nrMrEbW92XBH0
here it is: zyjump.com/WBSAZC
@@FrankFang1025 Aannddd its gone :(
It's a amazing budget RIG 😍
I very love it!!!
How do pull focus with those 2 setups? This bad boy is pretty much manual only after all.
I'm wondering the same thing :D
Nice minimalist rig, but... on page 34 of the manual, it is clearly stated as follows: "Do not support the weight of the camera via the top 1/4” mount by using accessories like a screw in camera handle in conjunction with a heavy lens. This will damage the 1/4” mount which will not be covered under warranty". I personally went ahead and now have a small cheese plate with monitor + ssd on top of it, at the same time I still wonder if it's safe to ignore Blackmagic Design's recommendation putting a handle on that 1/4" mount. Of course, I understand that everyone is "gonna do his/her thing", however maybe it's safer to remind the audience what the manufacturer's warnings are, even if everything looks apparently fine for the moment? You know, that sort of "do it at your own risk" thing... Just my 2c.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the top 1/4" isn't strong enough to mount so much shit on it, maybe not the best idea, not sure
Came to say this. They specifically say not to put a handle on it.
I do not know why he insist on using only the 1/4 thread above when the same manufacturer says that it is not to "support" the camera, I think there is no difference if he uses the smallrig half cage that has nato rail on the side with a handle and it is a thousand times safer than this idea, in the end you are fooled into thinking that s rig is "discreet"
I just purchased the SMALLRIG top plate specifically designed for the BMPCC 4K and 6K thinking I could elevate the stress that this idea has to be putting on the single 1/4 thread mount point. Thinking I was in the clear to proceed with this concept I was disappointed to find the SMALLRIG plate instruction to NOT attach a top handle or side handle to the plate connected to the camera. This convinced me that this setup is not viable and may do more harm than good.
this is a hero set up. i really hate running around with big rigs like its some sort of flex. its pretty embarrassing at times. definitely going to look into this build for sure!
Doesn’t that nato rail spin with only one screw mounting it to the camera?
This was what I was worried about when I bought it. It doesn't spin but it will if I give it a real hard push round with the handle on, then it will come lose.
This video, and the one that inspired the battery use, has been very powerful. What used to be at $23 battery delivered in two days is now a $27 battery, with a one month delivery time. But if you want it sooner, you gotta pay an additional $20. And it’s not a Prime purchase anymore. It used to be, because I bought one a year ago.
I need English captions 🤣
You are the most practical and funniest filmmaker man! "No, It's not a Nikon mate" - Love you
The manual specifically cautions against suspending the weight of the camera/lens/etc via the top screw. Good luck with this, but no thanks.
Yep, Blackmagic's build quality has already become, let's say...legendary...
Well, it’s not really suspending the full weight of the camera is it; he’s still gripping the camera body in the normal place, so at worst there’s half the weight of the camera on the top screw / rail
@@johngwheeler Take a look at the 3-minute point in the video.
one of the most simple setup for BMPCC
Anyone looking for the Zhiyun bracket here it is: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083PZXFRV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
Bro! Saved my life! For the life of me I couldn’t figure this out with the other plate linked
@@1wawter I was in the same place! Happy to help! 🙂
"snice" I've been on so many rig vids and you nailed it for me, copy pasting your gear, cheers
Bro, I'm looking to get into videography/cinematography and I'm just gonna be blunt... I love your videos. They're informative, entertaining and educational, plus the accent just gives it an extra flair. Keep doing you man, God Bless! From Jamaica...to di world!!!
Bro that mountain footage is STELLAR.. you really showed power of the image of the 6k pro. Dynamic range, correct exposure and looks amazing.
13:09 = when you accidentally format your drive without backing up the footage and the client asks for the product lol
AWESOME video mate! Very helpful.
This is definitely the best setup for me, cheers mate
How did you power your bmpcc
Top top video . Finally one that makes sense and I enjoy. Top man
I love your content man! You are going to blow up. So glad you popped up in my suggested feed
Nice setup mate. It has given me some ideas to reduce the size of my BMPCC 6K rig.
Best videography channel from the UK. Great job mate.
Hahaha, that "where's your permit mate" cracked me up so bad. I tried shooting using a rigged up Ronin-M in Paris once and got thrown out of there as soon as I hit the record button. Great rig dude, looks epic!
This is the single greatest video on youtube. Wish I would have found it earlier. I shoot similar style and I have a whole room full of gear for my damn new 6k pro. trying to figure out how to rig it best. (lol emoji). Now I can see how you got those shots in your editing and chill video of the FPV drone fellow. where he is always in focus, you have the canon 10-22 efs very wide.
wow, thats an awesome set up. im sold
Sick set up mate!! Thanks for sharing
that battery rig for the gimbal is BRILLIANT
First time viewer of your channel here. Thoroughly enjoyed it and your energy.
lol really informative number there mate, loved the humour .
Accidentally found your channel while searching for something and since then you have been in my favourite list. Especially this one with that killer intro and sound design of the the rig 💖
You really ought to have your own TV show :)
Oh man I just love your accent ahahah I just kept laughing throughout the whole video! I was going for a big rig for my Pocket 4k but now that I saw this I'm not really sure! Thanks for this video James! I'm excited to see what you are going to get out of this beast of a camera! Cheers
This is absolutely genius
My brother and I have been through a lot of rig videos and this one takes the cake, mate! Great video. No BS. "Amazing" rig should be the title of this video. Keep filming epicness!
Incredible video, Im not afriad to say im going to pretty much copy this setup. The velcro and the monitor/battery hack are friggin genius alone. Thanks for this one
I dont even have a camera but i still watch these kinds of videos
Great set up bro! Very creative 👌🏿
Oof Killer Setup M8 you just saved me a bit of coin. Blessings. Love this modular setup!
"Are you taking a piss mate?!" 😂😂😂 @6:45
Nice vid. Smart dude. Entertaining. Awesome setups.
I watched the intro like 5 times "Yeah mate ,lets check it out and see what its sayin mate". You just earned a subscriber haha
This was the first of your videos that I’ve seen. Great content. Subscribed!
i love how simple you are mate
Very Innovative, good work James!
Your originality is outstanding. Good one.
