- Check out PART 1 to see how I built this car mount for less than $200: • DIY CAR MOUNT - PART 1...
I decided to take the homemade car mount for a ride. After securing the suction cups with an additional 4 straps hooked to the car, we placed the Komodo with a canon 24-70 on the Ronin 2 and prayed real hard!
Since I wanted to play with the different focal, I mounted the Tilta Nucleus Nano (a follow focus) onto the zoom ring, this worked fairly good except when the camera was tilting up as the weight of the barrel would put too much resistance on the gears and eventually the Nucleus would go in safe mode and had to be rebooted manually.
All the footage you see was filmed with the Komodo in autofocus, it did a pretty good job overall except a few times in challenging situations (you can see the focus jumping in some shots if you look closely). I thought I would use the RED control app to pull focus but I didn't, giving more attention to the actual framing and exposure.
Also, I need a proper ND filter, the PMVND 1-5 set to the max at 5 did a terrible job with some heavy color shift in the sky.
With the Tilta hydra alien car mount now on the market for a quite "affordable" price tag, maybe it's time to look at their system a bit more seriously?
I'm super lucky to have great friends like Nelson always down to go out there and follow my crazy ideas to capture some content with a camera strapped to the roof of my car! Check him out here: / nelfelife

Camera Gear I use:
DJI Ronin 2: geni.us/XoZpJ
Lens I used on the Komodo: geni.us/b2ja
My go-to Sony wide-angle: geni.us/pZ2MBK
My go-to Sony mirrorless: geni.us/AvFBtl

Man this is so dope and so buttery!! I always find it insane watching the bts of what the camera is actually doing and how the shots turn out.
cheers mate, yes it's kinda crazy to see how it works! The gopro stabilisation helps too showing what's actually moving and what's not
@@GuillaumeCornetfilms Will have to come check it out in action one time :)
Rig Wheels, a USA company (LA area?) has components to build such a car rig mount, but it's $1,000 USD.
They sell components, including magnet cups which never come loose and (if your car is steel) works great. They also sell suction cups, as do many film supply houses.
You might want to try hood mound or door mount. Rig Wheels sell both, you might check them out for reverse engineering ideas.
I must say I'm impressed, and after I convert those pesky metric measurements to USA, this has moved to the top of my list of film grip projects to build! This has made my day!
I'll definitely upgrade some days with Righ wheels or Tilta's accessories. I just wanted to prove that it's possible to do it, on a budget. Let me know how you go, keen to see your results! :D
those shots look, magical man, good stuff
I'm very proud of the result, thanks for watching!
Very beautiful and smooth shots!
How do you feel about the Komodo after owning the Gemini for a year?
thank you so much for the kind words. In short, I love the Komodo and I would have sold the Gemini if the Komodo had high frame rates... But I need 5K120 too bad
@@GuillaumeCornetfilms for sure ,yeah I feel you on that the high fps are the one big downside of this camera
bravo
So good brother! Glad it worked out so well!
Cheers mate! I'm glad too ahah
Absolute genius
ahah cheers
Awesome look!! So glad you used a safety strap...just in case.
Thanks. Ahah I had more than 1 safety strap and we didn't go over 40kmh :D
Amazing! Thank you very much!
Glad you like it!
Such a great video test Guillaume, but also what a motivating DIY option!
Resulting footage is just perfect, which brings one question in my mind: Since there's still some wobbling at the base of the Ronin during car movement (which is logical), could that slight movement be absorbed by the Ronin motor alone (thus giving you a perfect stabilized shot right out the bag), or did you still have to add some stabilization in post, in order to get this 100% final result?
Anyway the result that you probably hoped for is reached, i would say it worthed the 2-3 days building of the system!
Hey mate, thanks for the kind words!
No, as I wrote at the bottom at the beginning of the video, I didn't add any kind of stabilization in post :) All the cinematic shots in this video are straight out of the camera 6K39 conformed to a 4K24 timeline with a REC709 conversion lut and some color grading but that's it!
The vibration isolator did a perfect job at removing those micro vibrations. The larger wobbles as you noticed are fully compensated by the gimbal, the main reason being that everything I filmed was fairly far from the lens. I should have included some shots where you can see my car in the frame. Then if I hit a bumper, you'd see the car sliding left to right.
Next step is to put the RED Gemini and a 70-200 and eventually a x2 teleconverter (probably twice the weight) and see how it goes :D
Oups didnt see the text at beginning of video, sorry.So it’s a winning test, that’s great news! Cant wait to see same shot with the Gemini+70-200, will be Epic for sure! (pun intended) 😊
hallo nice job is that high angel good to shoot sport cars ?
Lots of slow motion shots, but still good nonetheless
slow mo is good!
This is amazing man haha
cheers,
How is this working? Still something you use?
Yes definitely! I don't use it for high speed chase on the highway but for epic parallax shots at slow speed I get some pretty incredible results!
Are you happy with the red komodo?
one of my all time favorite cameras! yep
wow, so impressive! I'd love to see some car chasing scenes captured with this setup! From what I understand, if you wanted to create some fast pace car overtaking james bond style car cashing scenes, you can make your setup less woobly with shortening wired "legs" right?
If you shorten the wires, the vibrations will transfer more to the gimbal and make the footage more shaky.
Muy buen video, saludos desde Guatemala!
Muchas gracias 🙏🏽
Excellent !
Aurais tu essayé ton invention avec une config camera plus légère ? Tu n'as pas trop de mouvements parasites ? Merci !
Tu m'as convaincu de fabriquer un rig plutôt que de débourser 2000€ chez Righweels par exemple.
J'ai jeté un coup d'oeil à ton site et c'est vraiment propre, merci pour ton partage ! :)
Merci! Super content que ca t'ai inspiré a construire le tient. En effet, 2000$ ca fait mal. Je vais essayer de monter le Ronin S2 avec le Sony A7SIII sur mon systeme (beaucoup beaucoup plus leger) mais je pense qu'il va falloir que j'enleve quelques cables sinon ca sera trop rigide. Tu veux une certaine flexibilité pour que ca absorbe les grosses vibrations. Je veux aussi essayer avec la RED Gemini et le 70-200 qui est beaucoup plus lourd :D
@@GuillaumeCornetfilms Cool, j'attends ton retour avec impatience alors, merci !
Perso ce serait avec un Ronin M + Sony A7III.
Pour les ventouses je prendrais des Avenger F1100 car + pratique pour faire d'autre configuration avec des rotules et bras de déport :)
Je suis deg de pas parler couramment anglais pour comprendre tout ton contenu en revanche... Surtout la video de pourquoi tu achètes une RED, même si je suppose que c'est parce que tu peux la rentabiliser aujourd'hui :D
@@dylanleviavant3559 as tu essayé d'activer les sous-titres? Je sais qu'ils sont générés automatiquement donc pas toujours super corrects mais ca aide pas mal..
@@GuillaumeCornetfilms Je vais essayer, merci :)
Hey good job … it is working with high speed ??
Thanks!
As it is right now, no, I wouldn't trust those suction cups ahah
I think 60km/h, maybe 80 but not above and with very smooth acceleration on breaks :)
You have an 8,000 dollar gimbal.. why would you only build a 200 dollar mount? Isn't that like putting Firestone tires on a Bentley?
very good point and I'm actually surprised no one mentioned this before ahaha. If you had up the cost of the camera and all the accessories you'd be around $20k floating on a $200 DIY setup 😅
We were in covid lockdown and I wanted to do something with my hands to keep me busy. I wanted to get a car mount for a long time so I built this purely for fun ;)
Está genial este videooo
muchas gracias!
Aww soo epic man!!
pretty stoked with the result!
hey i never see this in your newest videos. Do you still use this in your projects today? I am curious if its a valuable endeavor or not for you
I do use it on personal and paid projects yep :)
What type of filter are you using for this?
I assume you mean nd filter? I used the Polarpro VND 2-5 this time. However it was too bright for this one as you can see some vignetting/weird color shift in some shots pushing the ND to 5 stops. Should have used the stronger VND :)

@@GuillaumeCornetfilms Personally, I think it looked really good and I get tired of people telling me it's not standard. Art should not be standardized. Keep up the good work and thanks for the heads up!

I'm pretty sure roses can be white too! Thanks for watching ;)
