Very good run through. Thank you. Learned a lot about my next buys....
Thank you very much. I was looking for something like this and did not find it. You are special
Great video, great set up, easy to follow along… thank you man
@@lukegilliland2157 thanks, glad it was helpful
Ref: Mating my SmallRig99 Pro to the mini v-mount base; it’s the replaceable mount plate attached to the battery that doesn’t seat all the way. I swapped the plate installed on the battery with one of the replacement plates I had received with the 4063B package I received…all is now right with the world.
@armondobbabone8556 oh ok, interesting. I wondered what that was for. I might try that to see if it works, but on my other rig, I use the Kondor Blue V mount Pro so I want all my batteries to work on both my rigs
Great video, any chance you have a vertical shooting rig for the a7iv too?
@@lin_media24 I've made a few shorts on different vertical rigs I've built over the last couple of years, I don't think I've done one recently though
Hey I loved your video! Question, I have your same set up however, I cannot get my Feelworld Lut7 to work with my A7IV! The monitor says no hdmi . Any advice, I have tried everything! It works with all of my other cameras and hdmi cables just not my A7IV.
@Pmobley47 if it works with other cameras it'd probably be an issue with the camera. Do other monitors work with your a7IV? My first guess would be to check the HDMI output settings on on camera, sometimes certain devices don't like certain settings. Like maybe it has to output at 1080, rather than 4k or something
Pretty much have the same A7IV build with the v-mount and smallrig gear bro. Just waiting for my new stuff to arrive!
How do you find running A7IV and FX30? I’m gonna have a watch of your FX30 rig too but would love to know if you feel it does as good a job as the FX3 for your workflow ☺️🤙🏽🎉
Nice!
I think the FX30 and a7IV work well together. I've never used the FX3 but it's pretty much the same except for the sensor. I do usually prefer the FX30 over the a7IV unless I particularly need full frame. But Cine EI, monitoring LUTs in camera and the ergonomics all just make the FX30 better
Would you recommend the SmallRig Star-Trail Lightweight Matte Box if I'm using a 24-70 mm lens? I've read some reviews suggesting that it might be too heavy for handheld shooting and could potentially damage the lenses. I'm considering whether it might be better to invest in a high-quality 2-in-1 ND filter instead. I’d appreciate your thoughts on this.
@domenicavalencia3815 I've never used it so I can't really recommend for or against it. It doesn't appear to be particularly heavy though, but you can get it with a support that attaches to rods so if the weight is an issue and you have rods on your rig, you should be fine. If you're going for a much smaller rig, maybe a simple filter might be better than a mattebox
@itmeremy appreciate the quick response. And, thank you for the advice! By the way, I love your channel-your content is both entertaining and informative 👏
@domenicavalencia3815 no worries, good luck with it. And thank you, I appreciate that
Im thinking about a pretty similar rig, but instead of the vmount battery I want to get an NP-f970 battery with a plate, as 2 battery's are cheaper than a single VBattery. would u recommend going the Np-f route? what advantage would vmount battery have over the np-f battery's?
@strongstonks7699 I can see your reasoning. A 970 is about 56Wh at most so you'll get just over half the battery life of a 99Wh V mount. I think if the NPF plate that you get has enough ports for everything you need, then it should work just fine. I'd say the main benefits to V mounts is that they usually have more ports and there's some smaller ergonomic advantages. But nothing that'll really make or break a rig compared to an NPF setup.
If you haven't seen my video about V mount batteries, that might give you some more insight.

Hope that helps
@@itmeremy well I bit the bullet and I got mysel a V mount battery with plate, mostly because of ergonomics, but 1 will be more than plenty for my r8. Went with a Smallrig vb99 se, as it was somewhat reasonably priced.
@strongstonks7699 fair enough, I have VB99 Pros so I imagine the SE are also great, just with less features
what about powering a monitor with a dc to dc?
@@bernardocuesta4217 that'd work just fine. There just doesn't seem to be quite as good of a choice of cables with that compared to D-Tap though
@@itmeremy thank you, its just because i dont own any battery with dtap yet
@bernardocuesta4217 totally fair. Most powered V mount plates have Dtap so it's not necessary for the battery to have them, it is useful though
@@itmeremy indeed, but as long i just want to power up my monitor i will start with an npf plate but it doesnt have an dtap so it can be usb c or Dc to dc as well as dummy battery but i dont know why i dont like dummy on monitor
@bernardocuesta4217 fair enough. The benefit of not using dummy batteries is you can still add a battery if needed either as backup or so it never has to be turned off
You guys should all stop making gear reviews on a fast aperture. It’s just not the way to do it. Thanks for the infos anyway.
this is called 'compact'? :D then what is compact :))
This is quite compact compared to my FX30 rig
