Tom, this has to be one of the best examples of super high production values for TH-cam reviews or for that matter, any video. I'm watching on a recent LG OLED monitor in UHD and every shot is tack on for focus, Color looks great. Lighting and exposure look stellar. Audio is perfect. Certainly am going to come back to this as a benchmark for work (audio tutorials) I will be doing. Was particularly blown away by the outdoor shot where to Atomos monitor was virtually indistinguishable from the actual scent in both light level and color fidelity. We are truly lucky to be living in a time where such high quality tools are available. It's nice to see someone actually use these tools at such a high level. Thanks for your reviews. I enjoy them!
No offense, but camera tests of leaves and flowers are nearly worthless. All camera tests should include a human and some med/CU shots, so we can see skin tone and compare it to other images we've seen.
I’m here trying not to cry! It’s all getting wet all that equipment is in the rain and I’m here wondering if I’ll ever be able to afford such an amazing setup omg
Brilliant! Thank you so much! have had my gh5 for a couple months and have been searching for a video to help me set it up in the most cinematic way :)
Hey Tom. What cinema lense would you recommend for profile close-up on a GH5, that will NOT distort a person's face? I guess I'm referring to best focal length for close-ups.
Tom, you probably get a million questions ... here goes mine: we are starting out filming car events, car races on racetracks, brand club events, etc ... in a pro-am duo. Is it best to film with fixed focus or auto focus? I'm in doubt between the Sony AX700, Canon Legria GX10, Panasonic GH5, Sony a6500, Sony A7 series ..... camcorder or photo camera. If anybody else has some tips, it would be greatly appreciated! Our purpose is to grow to a pro outfit.
the SLR Magic Prime Ana Lens kit goes for USD 8500 if i am not mistaken, a bargain to say at least. And Tom the Inferno is not weather sealed, you literally saw it raining into the vents (aargh...), the lenses should be ok, if soon dried BUT still..... yes i also would like to see faces and skin tones with more dramatic lighting to see beautiful flares, the fringing thou didn't look that great...
Hey Tom, great content! Seen a couple of your videos.. also I just upgrade my GH4 to the NOW GH5s!! I love the rig.. how much would you say your total set cost is? (GH5: $2000 + Anamorph lens + cage + matte box + follow focus + NINJA + shoulder support) ??
So would you suggest these lenses for wedding and other events? if not what lenses would you say I could use for weddings if you had to choose two or three lenses on a budget. I will buy the gh5 for body.
The CR and aberations of those lenses is really bad, also I don't the radioactive blue flares, but that's just personal taste. Great video btw, I love your enthousiasm!
I agree. The fringing on these lenses are far more pronounced and more distracting than other anamorphic cinema lenses i.e. Hawks, Kowas, Elites, Lomos.
raztechstudios Yes. I need more time to work with the camera on actual film shoots before I can have enough real world experience to talk about how this camera really performs.
super nice!!! hey,... why u put a atomos inferno in GH5? I'd like this lumix just because it can shut in internal 10bits 4:2:2, so, the atamos can improve something more? thanks a lot
Hey Tom! I was wondering about SLR Magic lens set. How they behave on GH5. Distorsion, chromatic aberations, low light, things like that. There is little information about these lense. Thanks!
Look at it. It performs terribly. Chromatic aberration everywhere in his test video. I usually don't care about pixel peepers and chromatic aberration, etc, but it's brutal on these lenses. To the point where it's actually distracting from the shot.
Cooke or Hawk PL mount lenses rent here in LA for $700 per lens per day. But they only rent in sets of 6-8 lenses. Thats $4200-5600 per day to rent just the Glass!!
Hi Tom, Great set up, thanks for the video. I have just started using a GH5 for my videos, I'm a beekeeper first and youtuber second and struggle with what the best setup for quality should be. I want 4k but there are so many different options it's bewildering for the novice. Trying to shoot in full manual when you have an angry beehive open in front of you can be very testing so I'm currently shooting on Programme mode (don't hate me!). Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks in advance. Stewart
Sir, I'm wondering what adapter you used to connect to your matt box? It looks like some attachment. With the SLR anamorphic lenses the focus ring is so close to the lens opening (end). I'm just wondering how to attach a matt box and it looks like you solved it. Thanks
Tom! Thanks for the review. Can I have your opinion on the GH5 and creating shallow depth of field? I'm considering buying one, but really like the DOF.
Very cool stuff, for sure. But, I am working with the GH4, and my budget would never allow for those lenses. Maybe someday. The Cametv cage does look useful, though. And for now, I could possibly just use my old phone as a larger external screen. What do you think?
Steve Fullick if you already have the GH4 then I'd say stick with it. The GH5 has some great features but it's not something everyone needs. Main things are the in body stabilization and 10bit recording. If you don't need these features then no reason to upgrade.
wow that was awesome., I got simple question. does Panasonic GH5 water proof coz you shot on a rainy day and the camera was wet plus how much does it cost the camera with the gear not with the lenses?
How much does the GH5 lumix camera cost with all its accessories that you show in the video .....? Could you please inform me if you answer me as soon as possible. I have thought to acquire it. greetings from Peru .. I love the cameras :)
what lens between $5-1000 would you recommend for the gh5 for music videos? everything I have seen people are loving the 12-35mm is the best all around lens for the price. What do you think?
Hi Tom, I saw you did a review on the camtree rig a couple years ago. I know the Camtree is significantly cheaper in price, but how do the (latest) Camtree and the Came-tv rigs compare in build quality, durability and functionality?
While I appreciate videos like this, it seems like we’re always seeing TH-cam dudes playing with all kinds of cameras and monitors and building “rigs”. But we never really see any actual films they’ve done. Usually it’s an okay short film that might as well be shot on a lower end DSLR...or some silly ass “travel” video BS. I’ve learned a lot, and these channels are alright. It’s just frustrating thinking guys like this have piles of cameras, lenses, and other expensive gear just sitting in a room looking pretty.
Where did you get the lens support from? I can't find it. Also, what is that ring you have around the 50mm? It looks like something of a workaround to the rotating front of the lens. I have the 35mm and hate that it rotates, because it makes screw on polarizes ruin the shot once you pull focus
Tom, I got the same setup, when I try to output 60P 10Bit 422 the Inferno screen flickers violently or says no signal. Im running the GH5, Inferno and Atomos HDMI cable. Any ideas ?
Tom I need some help, please. I recently bought a GH5 and I shot C4K 10 bit MP4 (LPCM) files, but I can't open them in Quicktime on my iMac. I get this warning: "The file isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player." Any suggestions - recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Kyle Armstrong output resolution is still UHD on the atomos recorder. Internally it's higher vertically but it doesn't make a difference unless you plan to finish higher than 4K
Tom Antos Huh, okay that's interesting. So once you take the file and starting editing it what resolution is the original file? For example, in HD (not UHD) would it be something like 2560x1080 or is the higher resolution capped at 1920. Sorry if I don't make much sense, not sure how to explain it. 😩
Just bought the Gh5/will arrive in two days, Ninja V, working on lenses now. I'm leaning to manual focus primes to get started back into filming (I've been only producing corporate live gigs for 20 years out of film school). Any suggestions on lensing? PS, my alias is Benny Hanna-left a comment on another post. This is Strykowski/JStryker.
do you use the lanparte/v-mount battery to power the camera and the inferno or just the inferno? I'm looking for a v-mount plate for my GH5 rig and i can't seem to find anything with an 8.4v output, which from my understanding is what is needed for the GH5. i know they have regulators but i'd like to limit my cables if at all possible. any suggestions?
Another question if you have second. I notice you still film with the GH4. Is there a reason or a video that you explain why you don't use the GH5? I'm debating a GH5 but I have an Atomos Inferno so I wonder if the GH4 is a cheaper better option as a second camera to my C100. Also, I've been watching you from the beginning and truly appreciate the content and your last short. Thank you.

Damn you took new electronics out into the rain.....you brave!
You got that right - especially the Atomos Ninja Inferno with those cooling vents right on top.
Yup and it worked great!
YoungBlaze Of Chitown I like to live on the edge ;-)
I was freaking out when I saw that >
Dimitri T I always do that it seems. I'm actually outdoors right now filming on a new camera I got and it started raining like crazy.
11:47 "This cheap little camera"
Now I feel even more poor than before I saw the video😂💔
Fuck haha
Can u send me a camera.
That put me down hahah I been looking to buy for months can’t seem to build the courage to swipe!!
I thought I am the only who thought of that when he said it!
No offense, but camera tests of leaves and flowers are nearly worthless. All camera tests should include a human and some med/CU shots, so we can see skin tone and compare it to other images we've seen.
Perfectly said. Also it should be at normal speed.
I’m here trying not to cry! It’s all getting wet all that equipment is in the rain and I’m here wondering if I’ll ever be able to afford such an amazing setup omg
This video has helped me for over 2 years thank you sir
oh god please do more camera rigs like this, i think i have a weird fetish for them...
You are not alone my friend :D
its an addiction xD
Me too man
same here. Oh hey, we are the Fantastic Four in this comment looooool
Brilliant! Thank you so much! have had my gh5 for a couple months and have been searching for a video to help me set it up in the most cinematic way :)
The inferno rips through f970 batteries. I did a test and it ranges between 30-45mins per battery. Thats with the screen brightness at half.
Crossfiyah buy more batteries lol
I wish I had enough money to play with these toys... Thank you so much for the amazing video! My GH4 needs a bigger brother... GH5...
Heath Ross Productions and here I am shooting with my smartphone lol
Heath Ross Productions LOL, i'm still shooting with my G85 and a pack of $200 lens.
Hi Tom....Your teaching is really amazing...I like that,u made getting a cheap cameras working like most expensive stuffs.
fabulous set up
Oh wow, I've been watching your videos all evening and just read the description. Dzień dobry.
Great video and covers a lot with the cage and monitor.
Thanks Tom!
wow! you have everything I want for my GH5!!!!!
with all your creative mind and equipment i'd love to see you make a feature.
awesome channel, just subscribed. great info and like your editing. Keep up the great work bud !!!
the cage loos super great!
Vielen Dank Tom Antos. Für dieses interessante Video.
Hey Tom. What cinema lense would you recommend for profile close-up on a GH5, that will NOT distort a person's face? I guess I'm referring to best focal length for close-ups.
Also it Would Be Great to Share How To Set up The GH5 For the Best Video / Music Video Settings Thanks So Much man i Love Your Stuff
Really love your channel and thanks for this nice video!
RE lensing question: my goal is boxing action short films at the moment, with a few corporate instructional/town hall events and interview candids.
Love your setUp , i hope sometimes i have same stuff like you 😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻
Useful throughout. Thanks!
Great video! As always :)
Pierwszy raz oglądając film Polaka myślałem, że to kolejna produkcja z za wielkiej wody :D Pozdrowionka :D

oh my you weren't scared of the rain? Beautiful rig. I just recently bought one. Anyway I can watch your films?
Instablaster...
Great tutorial bro
the SLR Magic Prime Ana Lens kit goes for USD 8500 if i am not mistaken, a bargain to say at least. And Tom the Inferno is not weather sealed, you literally saw it raining into the vents (aargh...), the lenses should be ok, if soon dried BUT still..... yes i also would like to see faces and skin tones with more dramatic lighting to see beautiful flares, the fringing thou didn't look that great...

I love the rig.. how much would you say your total set cost is? (GH5: $2000 + Anamorph lens + cage + matte box + follow focus + NINJA + shoulder support) ??
lets spend 6k right away! nice setup tho :D
Cool video man I expected a little better from the lenses but I guess you really have to spend a lot to get a film quality anamorphic lens
Gracias Tom Gh5 anamorphic!
I love it!!
Thanks for this great video!
which ones are these anamorphic lenses?? great video thanks!!
So would you suggest these lenses for wedding and other events? if not what lenses would you say I could use for weddings if you had to choose two or three lenses on a budget. I will buy the gh5 for body.
The CR and aberations of those lenses is really bad, also I don't the radioactive blue flares, but that's just personal taste. Great video btw, I love your enthousiasm!
Remco Ardui thanks
I agree. The fringing on these lenses are far more pronounced and more distracting than other anamorphic cinema lenses i.e. Hawks, Kowas, Elites, Lomos.
Remco Ardui yes but the pricing on those other anamorphic lenses is far more pronounced ;-)
True :) That's why renting I feel is the better option.
CinemaSteve if renting is affordable then sure. but some anamorphic lenses cost as much to rent per day as it costs to buy these
Hey Tom. Are you planning on doing a full review video on the gh5.
Thanks
raztechstudios Yes. I need more time to work with the camera on actual film shoots before I can have enough real world experience to talk about how this camera really performs.
Sweet. Sounds good. Looking forward to it. How are you liking it so far?
raztechstudios it's got a lot of neat features. but is it a big enough update to warrant an update from the GH4? still not sure on that.
Hi, was wonder if you would mind sharing how much the whole setup cost
such a good video! thank you!
Super vidéo i got the gh5 with the canon ef 70 mm 200 mm lens I need the monitor 4K with the less delay do you have any suggestions ?
super nice!!! hey,... why u put a atomos inferno in GH5? I'd like this lumix just because it can shut in internal 10bits 4:2:2, so, the atamos can improve something more? thanks a lot
Cool vid is all 3 of those lens produce such fringing ? And CA ?
Hey Tom!
I was wondering about SLR Magic lens set. How they behave on GH5.

Steve Holt unfortunately that's the reason why most talented filmmakers will not be able to shoot on those lenses
Overpriced Glass!
As a Filmmaker, I'm so... so... FUCKING JEALOUS! ;-)
What an Equipment...
Hi Tom,

How is that shoulder mount supposed to help if you don't have handles

You're doing god's work tom
I wonder if this rig can be mount on dji ronin m and steadicam/flycam vest & arm..
How much does the GH5 lumix camera cost with all its accessories that you show in the video .....? Could you please inform me if you answer me as soon as possible. I have thought to acquire it. greetings from Peru .. I love the cameras :)
My name is Afam Okereke, a film maker from Nigeria. Thanks a lot for the tutorials. Pls how could you help me get this kit ?
what lens between $5-1000 would you recommend for the gh5 for music videos? everything I have seen people are loving the 12-35mm is the best all around lens for the price. What do you think?
what gear and set up did you used to do this video?thank you
Hi Tom,
I saw you did a review on the camtree rig a couple years ago. I know the Camtree is significantly cheaper in price, but how do the (latest) Camtree and the Came-tv rigs compare in build quality, durability and functionality?
Please test the 6k 30fps photo mode :)
Is it possible to set it to 24fps? Cause 30 isn't as useful.
GRAVITY duh, 4K 24 25 30 50 60 1080p 24-180
GraveyardMinerTM I know haha im just curious about the 6k "video" mode
there's no 6k video mode, there will be no.
Kyzox Pictures You might be right, there is a 6k 30fps continuos photo mode though vimeo.com/198883121
While I appreciate videos like this, it seems like we’re always seeing TH-cam dudes playing with all kinds of cameras and monitors and building “rigs”.

Awesome sir
Do you have an opinion on how the stabilization would work with the Eclipse Rovers?
Where did you get the lens support from? I can't find it. Also, what is that ring you have around the 50mm? It looks like something of a workaround to the rotating front of the lens. I have the 35mm and hate that it rotates, because it makes screw on polarizes ruin the shot once you pull focus
In the video Tom said the supports for those particular lenses were made by the same company.
sir i want to know that which three lens is using by you in this video
Hey Tom. I was considering purchasing the blackmagic cinema camera 2.5k or the gh5 for narrative projects. which one would you recommend
Is there any way that you can record directly to a PC?
Bro, u Rock
Hey Tom, which gh5 dummy battery are you using?
Tom, I got the same setup, when I try to output 60P 10Bit 422 the Inferno screen flickers violently or says no signal. Im running the GH5, Inferno and Atomos HDMI cable. Any ideas ?
Tom I need some help, please. I recently bought a GH5 and I shot C4K 10 bit MP4 (LPCM) files, but I can't open them in Quicktime on my iMac. I get this warning: "The file isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player." Any suggestions - recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I just bought two GH5 for film shooting and I wish to set it cinema standard as you just displayed. Pls kindly assist. Tnx.
Do those lenses act as 70mm, 100mm and 140mm crops with the micro 4/3?
Noob question: How does resolution work for anamorphic lenses/footage? Like, what was the output resolution for the footage that you shot in 4k?
Kyle Armstrong output resolution is still UHD on the atomos recorder. Internally it's higher vertically but it doesn't make a difference unless you plan to finish higher than 4K
Tom Antos Huh, okay that's interesting. So once you take the file and starting editing it what resolution is the original file? For example, in HD (not UHD) would it be something like 2560x1080 or is the higher resolution capped at 1920.
Sorry if I don't make much sense, not sure how to explain it. 😩
Did you have Latency issues with the Inferno via HDMI out?
Just bought the Gh5/will arrive in two days, Ninja V, working on lenses now. I'm leaning to manual focus primes to get started back into filming (I've been only producing corporate live gigs for 20 years out of film school). Any suggestions on lensing?
PS, my alias is Benny Hanna-left a comment on another post. This is Strykowski/JStryker.
I love my 18-35 with metabones.
hello i have been looking for univerty where i can study graphic design and video production,please can you tell where?
do you use the lanparte/v-mount battery to power the camera and the inferno or just the inferno? I'm looking for a v-mount plate for my GH5 rig and i can't seem to find anything with an 8.4v output, which from my understanding is what is needed for the GH5. i know they have regulators but i'd like to limit my cables if at all possible. any suggestions?
Visual Anthony hi, I'm in the same boat now . Did you find a solution please?
Did you ever get around to weighing this? Great video.
Hack My Control System yes. The video of me measuring the weight and more is on my website. Link is in the description
Thanks! Your hardware list turned into my shopping list.
what will be the cost along with these accessories ?
tom, what battery gh5 battery delete do you use with that lanparte power splitter.... i ordered one off amazon doesnt seem to match up
i feel like the rain would get into the ninja inferno on the top by the fans
What is the focus system you are using please?
Since gh5 doesn't capture audio in VFR, will connecting xlr to ninja capture audio while in vfr?
Tom, what HDMI cable do you use in this video
What would you estimate to be the entire cost of the rig (including camera) that you assembled in the video?
GH5 - $1,999.99
Anamorphic Lenses - $8,500.00
Atomos Ninja Inferno - $995.00
CAME-TV Studio Rig - $978.00
not sure about his tripod and what not.
thanks! It helps to keep perspective of the outlay for such a kit.
sam james you're welcome!
Those chromatic aberration doe
What arm did you use for the inferno? Looks really well built.
Little Theatre Films it is from Lanparte
Another question if you have second. I notice you still film with the GH4. Is there a reason or a video that you explain why you don't use the GH5? I'm debating a GH5 but I have an Atomos Inferno so I wonder if the GH4 is a cheaper better option as a second camera to my C100.
Also, I've been watching you from the beginning and truly appreciate the content and your last short. Thank you.
Hello! how much roughfly for the hole kit; thank you!
This all cage set on the Sony a9?
is it full frame sensor or what?
Super!
what is the matte box do you use say me please
Hey Tom, how did you mount that Atomos monitor to the rig? I'm having a hard time finding parts.

How come you don't use handles?
