#BMPCC4K
so the dp3000 fits with the whole tilta cage, that's what I needed XD thanks dude. great rig :)
Is this the same adrian who broke his collar bone diving over a table in corridor crew? 🤣🤣 this guy is awesome. New sub
"building out an AR". Now you're speaking' my language young man ;-)
I started this video first thing I was like YO THIS DUDE HAS THE SAME COMPUTER CASE AS ME then a few minutes later I was like YO THIS IS ADRIAN WHO WORKED WITH CORRIDOR I LOVE THAT DUDE I DIDNT KNOW HE HAD A UA-cam in layman's terms you just gained another subscriber lol
yaaaa buddy!
You should look into supporting the weight of the lens or at least the metabones adapter. 4:19 clearly shows the lens bobbing up and down as your cranking the focus wheel.
Those are some sick 15in rims! 😂 Solid build, thanks for the share
lol
The tip i dont see anyone giving you is to not over tighten the screws, it will eventually create compression and a slight bit of metal dust that gets inside will make it impossible to unscrew
Thanks for the tip!!
Somebody already gave you the tip about the ssd screw lining up with the SSD holder. That makes the cable connection secure. Also, check out the BM5 portkeys monitor with the bluetooth module for touch screen control of the camera from the monitor. Pretty neat. I'm also looking into getting a quick release adapter to as a bridge between the monitor and the monitor mount. Basically let it live on the monitor mount and snap on the monitor in and out. Happy shooting.
i respect this setup a lot
just built out a bmpcc 4k using this video as a jumping off point, was very helpful! I didn't end up needing the extra cable to plug the v-mount battery into the camera, as the cable that was already attached to the Hedbox worked fine for me. Also was able to cannibalize some old gear to supplement the list in the pdf and traded in an old GH5 for a lightly used BMPCC 4K, so all in all only ended up spending less than $1000 out of pocket for a badass cinema cam setup! big thanks to Adrian and Arthur for the video. liked and subscribed
hot plugging can fry your hdmi port on your black magic...make sure everything is turn off before connecting hdmi cable
Probably the most caothic rig video I have seen, loved it
Such a sick build! PDF helps lots too. Thanks
“Arthur, stop licking the damn tripod, dude.”
lol I couldn't leave him out of the room because he kept barking! haha
Just bought this setup will give you an update soon!
This set up is perfect just did a music video shoot for @tribedynasty
Great video.
Thanks for this and the PDF.
Very helpful!
PUPPY!!!
great video adrian..sick rig.
I have a very similar build but no one seems to address the fact that the V mount or gold mount batteries block the touchscreen and even with an external monitor, you can't use your menu controls or format the Harddrive/sd card. I have a gold mount battery on the back and a monitor on the handle, but I have to remove the battery to use any menu options and yes I can control SOME stuff over bluetooth with my phone but thats not really practical on a shoot.
Yikes. That's super inconvenient. Check out that plate I installed where it allows you to bend the battery back.
Tim White I’ve recently gotten my camera, have been watching tons of videos for advice on a rig and I’ve been thinking this exact thought! Everyone talks about the amazing interface on the pocket 4K, seems illogical to not have access to it
@@AdrianPicardi How were you able to mount the plate to your v-mount battery back? Did the plate come with screws or did the battery pack come with screws? Thanks!
I can't stop awing at the fact how adorable ur dog is. Cool vid btw
Love your style of presenting these BMPCC videos. Thanks for sharing.
You connected your SSD wrong. There's a small thumb screw in the braided cable that can be attached to the SSD holder to allow a solid and secure connection.
Thanks. Had to watch a few other builds until I realized how to put it on correctly. Would really suck if that thing popped out while shooting.
Now THIS is a rig!
Great video!
Congratulations!
Love renting this camera. Need to make myself buy one.
bro im legit going to copy your build everything in the pdf!
Bro... the damn 12k camera tho.. lol
You could get a 12inch HDMI from amazon basics to avoid having to child the long one, you can also get one from Atmos that is coiled like a telephone cable and it's like 20$ I believe
How much was this setup? Really loved the video and am thinking of upgrading to a similar setup
I just ordered this matte box
Sick build Adrian. Love your work from Corridor. I noticed that you don't use a UV/IR cut filter, BMPCC4K gets a lot of IR pollution especially after using an ND filter on it, your blacks turn magenta. Please get an IR cut filter, Hoya one works well for me.
Thanks for your advice. I'll look into it ;)
Hi Adrian, how much did all this cost? Mind putting the stuff on the link next time please. Also don't forget to insure this one this time round 😅
There's a PDF in the description. It cost $4206.69
Great setup!
tHANK YOU
Could you use a smallrig base plate or does this cage only work with the tilta?
I'd stick with one brand and build out with homogeneous parts
Thanks for the video💪🏾
Great setup, it really looks cool! :) Its nice that you sayd that one does not need all that gear to shoot.
Im new to this so i have no idea what it all is for and i have to rely on what experienced people like you recommend.
All i want to do is shoot some high quality cinematic nature and surrounding shots with great color and quality!
What would i need for that? What would you buy for that purpose? Thanks in advance.
hey! I'd recommend first starting off with your cellphone (if it shoots 4K). There's a program called Filmic Pro that turns your iPhone into a decent camera and you can practice shooting at a low cost until you figure out if it's something you actually want to continue doing. If you don't have a cellphone that's capable of 4k or you're just ready to buy a camera, I'd go with the bmpcc6k pro. The codec is great, it's not super expensive, has internal ND filters (which will come in handy when shooting outdoors) and is an overall solid camera.
@@AdrianPicardi Thanks for the great advice! I dont have a good i phone and would like to buy a great camera. Would the bmpcc4k be good enough for my cinematic plans? Were you happy with the results of the 4k version when you had it? Could you recommend a very good lens or speed booster if needed, for the crazy high quality cinematic video look?
@@housevibez8828 look at the PDF I provided in the description. I think the P4K is a solid camera as well, but keep in mind you will need to get an ND filter. I also provided a link as to which filter I bought with my package.
Man I love the look of the Tilta so much, but I don’t think I’d spend 2-300 bucks on the cage and accessories.
That's pretty much all that's different from the other ones. Tilta makes a good looking product but in terms of function, it's very similar.
Adrian Picardi Yeah I mean in terms of looking really sick I can’t deny it looks great. It just seems like almost every build has it, which doesn’t really make it all that unique.
Adrian Picardi I actually just bought a used one for $1200 dollars and a bunch of accessories
hi brother,,,
pls suggest me an adapter for usig my ef lens on p4k. I m not looking for speed boosters, but must have iris controll .
lets see some footage broski
Finishing up a short film. Should be up soon.
Hello. I have the Feel World monitor from your page but had a question regarding the dummy battery. Do you know if the Gyro High Power (4.5a) Dtap works fine with this particular monitor? I'm still assembling and it seems like it fits fine. I was concerned about potentially frying something with the wrong Dummy battery. Thanks
No idea :( I've heard mixed things about using that power supply method. Personally, I prefer the V-mount battery setup. I also heard that if you're using a V-Mount you should use any of those Canon LP batteries simultaneously. Sorry man, but good luck! Lmk how it goes :)
@@AdrianPicardi All good. Thanks!
how do u operate it? the focus wheel is set up for a shoulder mounted rig, but do you use it like that?
Hard to answer but I hold it from the top handle or just toss it up on my shoulder. I do tend to stick with sticks.
Hi Adrian, I saw some people power the camera and the monitor with dummy batteries and some directly from the d tap to the dc inputs (Either just the camera or also the monitor). Do you know the pros and cons of each of the variations?
Nope. Didn't do too much research when it came to dummy battery mods. I hate having a wire sticking out from the battery port and I also love the ability to hot swap v-mount batteries without losing power.
Very cool
Which gimbal would you use for this particular setup you think?
It's a pretty heavy setup. Holding the bmpcc4k alone with a sigma lens on the crane 2 is a pretty exhausting task. I don't recommend this setup if you're doing mostly gimbal work.
@@AdrianPicardi Great!thanks man for replying 💪
Nice rig! How to you like the fotga matte box?
It does the job. Not the best quality but it works.
hey adrian, i know this was a minute ago, but any chance you still remember where you got your led light stick from?
No worries, copy and paste (Handheld Photography Light Professional LED Video Light Wand 12 Lighting Mode, Stepless Dimming,CRI≥95 IP68 Waterproof with10400mAH Rechargeable Battery 3000k 5750k RGB Colorful Stick) into amazon. It's currently $79.99.
Yo homie. Amazon has that light for 50% off right now. I just bought another one. Thought you might want to know!
@@AdrianPicardi appreciate you bro! thanks for remembering me. gonna look into it now!
hey, where can i get that bending thing? can't find it on amazon or somewhere else
download the PDF. if you can't find it i have no idea. I bought the last one lol
Smallrig has a similar thing in the “Dreamrig” section
matte box is too heavy though, im thinking of the mini matte box may be a better choice.
dude the rig is SUPER heavy. not a run and gunner that's for sure. But it operates more like a traditional cinema camera which was the point.
@@AdrianPicardi hey mate, can you attach 114mm diameter cine lenses to this matte box and would you recommend this matte box? Heard some reviews saying it is too squeaky
@@dakhos It's not really squeaky for me. I do recommend it as it's been working for me. As for the lenses here's the coverage (51mm,64mm,76mm,103mm)
@@AdrianPicardi thanks!
Damn, someone stealing my gear is my worst nightmare, could you tell that story??
to make it quick. I was moving, left my equipment at a friends house, the movers we hired left the windows open, and I believe they came later that evening and cleared out everything.
hey adrian quick question. how did you breakaway the 2 pin cable that came with the hedbox? i can't seem to take mine off lol thanks!
I don't recommend doing this so use your best judgement... I unscrewed the hedbox and cut the wire. It was annoying the hell out of me as well. Obviously, again, this might break the whole thing but to answer your question, that is what I did.
@@AdrianPicardi gotcha! thank you so much.
@@bluetapemovies Good luck.
Just out of curiosity because I thought about buying the tilta cage. How come no hand grip on the left side for better stability? Does holding the follow focus give enough?
More of a budgetary thing. I made my build with the intent of spending less than $4k. A hand grip would be a great addition. I will say however after using this rig for a few months, it's NOT good for run and gun shooting. Very heavy like a traditional cinema camera.
Adrian Picardi so I’m actually planning on a very similar setup to what you have but I’ll need to have the ability to run and gun. A lot of people have the same setup as you but call it run and gun so that’s a tad bit concerning about weight. Have you ever looked at making this into a shoulder rig? I’d just like to know how much more I’d be looking to spend in order to do so.
@@fallingfromsolace2652 I think if you added a shoulder rig and the appropriate noga arm for the additional display, you'll be good.
Do you have a LPE6 battery inside the camera while using the v mount?
I've heard from multiple sources that it is not recommended to do that yet I sometimes forget and have an LP battery in. Camera still works but again, it's not recommended and I have zero idea why.
@@AdrianPicardi Yesterday I emailed BM and they told me that the correct use is with an LPE6 inside the camera.
@@navarrog Really? Interesting. For some reason when doing that my battery % is now no longer visible. Only the voltage. So annoying. Guess I got a lemon.
3:07 whats the inches of your rods? You said 15 inches but on the pdf is 12.
The PDF is correct. I misspoke. They are 15MM in diameter and 12 inches in length. // SMALLRIG 12 Inches (30 cm) Aluminum Alloy 15mm Rod with M12 Female Thread, Pack of 2 - 1053
@@AdrianPicardi thank you for your reply
Does that mattebox creates some vignetting in wide apertures?
I haven't experienced any of that personally. But the widest lens I've used is a 16mm.
You should spend some of your camera money on a mic! Lol
lol I know, I know... I finally bought one.
👍✨
how much aproxemetly this could cost?
I left a PDF in the description with the exact price. I think it was around $4100. Probably cheaper now. If I were you I'd save a bit more money and wait for tech to get even better. This camera is now pretty dated. I am currently looking at the RED komodo.
Hi I love your setup, may I know whats the whole weight of this setup?
heavy
Would you recommend this follow focus and mattebox?
For the price yes. I've used it on several productions and it works great as a backup as well if you have an electronic ff. I am planning on upgrading to the nucleus nano soon.
this comment may be late but why don't you put on the french flag and side flags for the matte box?
also a very helpful video (repeated this video many times now)
Is the squeaky sound your dog chewing on a chew toy or you putting in sound effects to simulate him crying?
No it's him chewing his toy.
@@AdrianPicardi oh. BTW, this is one of the vids inspired me to get a BMPCC 4K. Instead of a V-mount battery, I got something a little more compact- an IndiPros Battery Power Grip. If I were you, I'd give a try.
What’s the name of that matter box ?
Fotga DP3000
How far back does the battery plate tilt?
pretty far but not completely.
Awesome video, time to invest in a better way to capture your voice.
How much everything, I want to build the same rig
Download the PDF in the description. Has all the details
Good video, but the audio is a bit whack :/
Yup. I agree. Just bought a new mic / audio setup. :)
almost feel like I wasted money getting the Nucleus nano after seeing this rig smh
I'll never understand why everyone mounts such a long HDMI cable +g*
Because I already owned it and I didn't feel like spending more money on an HDMI cable.
@@AdrianPicardi 20 bucks?
You need to care more for lighting in your video
Not sure about making your life easier, but your gear will last a lot longer if stop smacking it around!
"budget"
"relative"
Did you seriously say "building out an AR?"
