- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- In this video we build my new, completely overkill camera rig based around the Panasonic S5 mirrorless camera. This new setup will be capable of recording 5.9K Blackmagic raw video with audio from a fancy new Sennheiser digital wireless microphone system all powered from a single battery.

Would you be interested in doing a full video on the Sennheiser hardware? I’d love to get more details on it.
Haha Cameron, that’s a classic tech geeks setup. I bet you spent ages researching all those parts. Brilliant. Works well as then last two videos looked great!
A cost breakdown would have been interesting to see.
From Cameron Gray to Cameron James
Just come from a Jeff Geerling video.
Brilliant video as always, those Ruckus videos looked awesome.
As richard brunning would say "overkill is my 2nd favorite type of kill"
Very cool. Great work! Thanks for the entertaining video!
I always thought it was a wordplay on the word Falcon, the bird! Looked it up and yes, I was spot on.
How you think of falling when purchasing a camera cage? lol
Having said that, your video was really helpful on my s5iix build; For some reason there’s not many, if any, Falcam rigs setups for the LUMIX S5IIX online.
When i saw the title, i was initially concerned that you weren’t aware of what youtube has been doing recently
(UA-cam used to support resolutions such as 5K and 6K, but they recently removed support for those resolutions, so now, the highest resolution UA-cam supports, without going up as high as 8K, is 4K)
Nah, with this setup it will output at 5.9k when outputting raw video. You can turn it down to 4k but this will crop the image to an APS-C sensor size. I still plan on outputting in 4k for a long time but 5.9k does allow me to crop the image in post and lose less quality.
That looks ridiculously far fetched compared to my ENG cameras :). Still, hopefully you'll get good results with it.
Interesting. I would say it is a lot of compromises, but it is very flexible. Of course many parts could be optimized, to reduce number of adapters, or integrate things, have less screws / points of failure, and smaller weight, but then flexibility could be also lower. For example that base plate, tripod plate, and main guide rails, could be one piece (if there was one made by somebody). Similarly the battery, having USB ports and own DTAP connector, which you do not use is a bit wasteful. And the microphone receiver plate could be optimized, but the receiver itself is very weird shape in my opinion.
If the weight and size are not a big concern, then sure it works, just a bit more work, and pricey pieces.
Not quite sure where you're seeing compsomises unless you're referring to size. Everything here is optimised for the best possible quality and usability with the hardware I had. In terms of the base plate stuff - those parts are generally always sold separately rather than combined - it gives the flexibility of moving to different tripod plate styles without needing to completely disassemble everything. You can get rod base plates with an integrated quick release on top, but those aren't necessarily any smaller or lighter than what I have here. As for the battery - I could definitely get one that's purely a battery without the USB however, even though I don't use the USB ports to power anything, I can use the USB-C port to charge the battery from a regular USB PD charger. With a more basic V-Mount battery I'd need to deal with a dedicated charger. Many V Mount batteries will still have a DTAP connector for charging, otherwise you're limited to massive "dock" style chargers. I could definitely make the mic receiver mount take up less space by mounting it vertically to some sort of cheese plate and lose the supplied magnetic plate, but this would limit flexibility - I wanted this setup to have as much quick release hardware as possible.
In terms of size and weight - neither of those are really a huge issue. I rarely plan on travelling with this and the size and weight can actually be a benefit for hand held use. Sure it's heavy and you wouldn't want to hold it for hours on end, but the weight and grips make it really easy to hold and manoeuvre for smooth handheld shots. Smaller and lighter cameras are actually much harder to hold steady.
According to Apple, all you ever need for a professional camera rig is an iPhone… 😉. Thank you for making these videos!
An iPhone plus a gimbal and lighting worth 10-20 times the value of it lol.
blackmagic video assist 7 12g hdr doesn't record 5.9 or 6 k footage , pretty sure you will need to record camera internal - 4k max for video assist
While 4K is the maximum for recording to formats such as ProRes, it will happily record at 5.9K when working with Blackmagic RAW which is what I'm using
@@camerongray1515 thanks -good to know as I want one but I run a S1H in open gate with anamorphic x2 squeeze and resolve /workflow with BRAW being my ideal, I haven't found any documentation that 6k would record, by chance have you seen or considered 1tb NVME with tiltas fan enclosure - usually marketed for BM cameras .....that is what im aiming for to fit into my Tilta 15mm LWS Baseplate Type VI
