Still rocking my S5 in a cine rig setup as well. As I pull focus manually with Cine and Anamorphic lenses, I can easily resist the PDAF autofocus of the S5 II/IIX. Also while supposedly the same sensor, I've seen a lot of examples that low light and noise patterns have suffered with the new cameras. Also the sensor readout seems to be faster as rolling shutter is better on the OG S5, reducing the excitement of 6K open gate for me. Waiting for the the next L-mount camera that goes further than the S5 II/IIX. Camera to cloud? Have that already with Atomos Connect.
My pleasure and thx for watching! Check out the polar pro base camp matte box as well, also if you want a wireless transmitter for director monitoring- the Hollyland Mars 300
@@StephenBell_video I was thinking about getting the Tilta Mirage with the VND, if you haven't checked it out you should, from what I saw it's a solid bargain, also about half the price of the Polar Pro.
That looks like a nice setup, good to see how this rig was made. Interesting to see the use of dummy batteries in both cases. One thing I can recommend as a way of protecting the fragile micro HDMI port connection is the "SmallRig 3021 Slim 4K HDMI Adapter Cable (D To A)". I think this goes some way to reducing the possibility of damage. Also, I used to get some flickering on my monitor when I used a cable directly from the monitor to the port on the camera. With the 3021 adaptor, I don't get that problem any more.
Bro i have an important question , so i have full rig for my sony a7s 2 , but just got the s5 , my present vmount d tap output is 14.5 whats a safe voltage for the s5, what the output for your d-tap, i have the Juicebox V-Mount Battery & Rapid Charger, my v mount plate brakes it down to 8 and 9 volts , whats safe , respect
Hi great video!, I wonder about the ZITAY adapter, does prevent shortcircuit? or just turn red light and fry up gear? or just dont allow power goes on in case you missmatch the polarity?

Usbc is way better but you have to have the correct connection to give sufficient power it took me a month to figure ghat out now my new vmount plate with usbc runs great and i can always take the camera away from the vmount without a power cycle and continue shooting
@@JabDFilms wondering if you could share the v mount plate and cable you're using for USBC power. I'm apprehensive about using dummy batteries to power camera.
Sup bro dope rig i have a similar setup but charge with usbc instead… about the dummy battery plate issue there is a gray rubber tab u can lift to be able to close your battery door with the dummy battery in it
@@StephenBell_video a comparison between different claps would be very useful, as which block the flip screen and which can hold both the hdmi and usb, its hard to find info rn
Instead of using the dummy battery inside the S5, I would just put a real battery and use the USB-C port to power/charge. Otherwise, it’s all personal preference and I enjoyed watching you rig up your camera. :)
Hey Lumix friends, whats your go to lens on the S5?
A sigma 28-70 2.8 and I love it😌
@@leoserrax 👍👍👍
35mm sigma art and 105mm Sigma 2.8

@@filmbyakiljoefield good to know and thx for the tip! I use the base camp with my C70 and I love it, but the price is steep
Great cine lens for great camera
Meike Lenses are such great value!
How do you get access to your camera screen - do you just set up presets on the camera so you don't need to view it during a shoot?
Exactly- preset buttons are my go to on the S5 and S5ii

Great point! At the time of the video I had misplaced my port connector/ highly recommend using it with the hdmi cable
Nice setup! Get yourself a micro hdmi cable clamp to protect it.
I have one! I forgot to include it - my apologies, and great point!

Thx so much! The zitay adapter has been flawless for me so far - especially paired with the lower wattage v-mount I use 👍👍
@@StephenBell_video but it does protect against short circuit?
I assume one can get some kind of cable protector for the S5!
You can definitely get zaps, velcros and sprigs to tie down the cables to the rig cage 👍
Question do you have a link for a hdmi clamp for the smallrig cage?

@@StephenBell_video thanks so much man
@@yanicmb anytime!
Just wondering. Wouldn't it be easier to power the camera over USB?
USB C doesn’t have the same power ability as v mount, and the cables aren’t as robust
Usbc is way better but you have to have the correct connection to give sufficient power it took me a month to figure ghat out now my new vmount plate with usbc runs great and i can always take the camera away from the vmount without a power cycle and continue shooting

consider using an hdmi clamp

hey i have almost the same rig now ^^ i also made just a video about it
It’s a great setup and somewhat common now for most S5 rigs 👍
Instead of using the dummy battery inside the S5, I would just put a real battery and use the USB-C port to power/charge. Otherwise, it’s all personal preference and I enjoyed watching you rig up your camera. :)
Absolutely! That’s also another great option - indeed these rigs are always personal preference 👍
☺️
Thanks brother
I actually paid 75 bucks for the dummy battery with import fees and taxes because its not available in europe
You won’t regret it though- it’s definitely worth it to build the rig out. Inflation also doesn’t help 🙁
Annoying that there’s no dummy battery cable flap like most larger cameras have anymore.
There is a cable flap part that can adjust on the door of the camera to close- apologies for not showing this
Leaving the battery door open? Nah
Ya that’s my bad, you can thread the cable through the door hole area
@@StephenBell_video Yeah... I was gonna say, "it's literally right there!".
