Still a great camera. Instead of using the wooden grip specifically to prevent your fingers from reaching the dials and other buttons, you can simply program the F button on the front, next to the camera grip and the lens bayonet to lock/unlock the camera ;) Called "Operation Lock" on Lumix.
"Absolutely Amazing" Can we get that on some IMCE merch? That's definitely your catchphrase :). Nice work man...I like that the monitor mount has a locking pin - how often does that very part wiggle around on me? Too much! So that's good to see. Very clean and nice rig set-up. Thanks for sharing :)
Haha yeah, I should put AA on some jumpers lol. For real though...that locking pin is great when you're using something so expensive like the video assist.
The Black Mamba looks great, I'm going to get it. It's just annoying that you have to get it bundled with that handle. I've seen another handle that I prefer so having two handles is obviously unnecessary.
hey man, great video thanks for sharing. Good to see you're finaly enjoying what i also love about lumix :) you're just so productive with it because it just always works no matter the scenario it can adapt to anything. The S5 is also the camera i've been using the most for the past 3 months finaly, followed closely by the GH6. The BGH1 was a bad introduction to Lumix, the whole point of the BGH1 is to be operated remotely via RJ45, happy you're on the real lumix stuff now ;)
Hey bro, yes I agree the BGH1 wasn't the right move. I also agree with the productivity example...it really can adapt to anything and using it stripped down is super functional so I can see why you use it the most. I would love to add an S5 mkii so i hope Panasonic do something special.
@@Altcine i have invested in some lumix S Prime f/1.8 lenses (18 , 35 and 85mm) , they are fantastic and super light. I love using them wide open :D I'd be happy to see Panasonic catch up with a mk2 that has less rolling shutter and an autofocus that compares to Sony's :) But to be honest if you need autofocus you can just switch to 1080P50 at 1/50th and it works very well. The 1080 on lumix is so clean you can upscale it to 4k in post it'll look as good as sony's 4k ;)
my GH6 is still the king of versatility, i've been using it all summer for live TV on a Ronin for 6 hours livestreams (hdmi out with a cage, usb powered with a powerbank, lumix 7-14 and 12-60), for a prety high end corporate film (5.8k prores raw on an atomos ninja v, speedbooster and sigma 18-35 1.8 EF), and sports documentary in outdoor remote locations (internal recording, lumix lens kit).
hey man.. nice stuff! What case are you using to pack your rig? saw it in the beginning and i'd love to get me one of those.. did u do your own foam cut out as well?
A very sleek set-up. Just curious with your matte box are you using screw on ND filters or can you insert filters through the box. Great review of your set-up by the way. New sub!
Wow!!! Exactly what I wanted, these trigger from the side handle, i wonder if it works with the Ninja V 🤔 But I got a Nitze rig, I don't know if it is compatible... 😄 Nice video as usual ☺️
The good thing is you should be able to swap out the mount so you might be in luck if it doesn't fit. It will trigger the ninja just like the video assist.
@@Altcine 🤣 Plus, when the battery is not fully charged I have disconnnexion between the Ninja and the S5 though I have an atomos cable, when shooting in Prores Raw... Not good 😣 And I wish I could zoom to focus while recording when I'm using the S5 alone. But otherwise I'm amazed by its crazy good looking image!!
I wish I had the same experience with the Black Mamba cage, mine had too much slop and easily pried on my bottom mounting point. Really needed the anti twist on the right side rather than the left. Yours seems to fit better in the grip area so maybe I just got a bad unit?
This is it Toby, the fx30 costs the same as the full S5 setup you see in this video Inc the video assist, cage and handle (I paid £1100 brand new for S5). The only thing I really gain is AF which I'm starting to need in shoots but the S5 is definitely a better buy.
@@Altcine Right! That said, given that the FX30 is part of the "cinema" line, presumably those who purchase it would be using it for filmmaking and therefore pulling focus rather than using AF , so the SONY AF advantage is kind of irrelevant. To my mind, there just doesn't seem to be any reason to sacrifice full frame for the same price point as the FX30.
You have the handle on the right side. But you need your right hand to change shutter speed, iris, etc. Why not put the handle on the left side so your right hand is free to change the buttons?
Once I've started recording, nothing gets changed so if I need to change anything I wouldn't be recording so both hands are free. The only thing I'd change is focus, which I prefer to do with my left. Either side is ok though, It depends on preference.
Hey I was wondering if you know how to set the framerate on the S5 to shoot 4k 30p 10 bit 422? I honestly can't find it in the options and i've looked around and I'm struggling to find answers. Thanks!
Is that a FX3 I spot in the beginning? How do you think that the FX3 compares to the S5? I’ve got two S5s and a GH5 but a bit frustrated with always having to manual focus (even though I’m decent at it) Great video, thanks!
Hi Michael, yes it's an FX30 😁 I'm doing a video next week but I'd say they're close in terms of quality. The S5 seems to last a lot longer on battery but love the image from both. I was very happy with my p4k but the S5 showed me I need to invest in these smaller cams with better features so the only choice for a cine cam 10bit with good AF was the fx30. The only issue is the fx30 is soooo expensive in UK and nearly costs the same as this full lumix, video assist, smallrig setup 😮 and the only thing I really gain is good AF.
@IMCE Oh, that's cool! I feel you, the S5 is a bargain for what you get. I'm a videographer doing most of my work by myself. I'm loving my S5s for their IQ, shutter angle, exposure tools etc. The only thing I'm really missing sometimes is the AF for gimbal shots and tracking someone or something. I feel like I'm going to miss some things if I'd switch to Sony. Getting my hopes up for that mystery S5 MKII! Thinking of adding the FX30 to the kit and keeping my S5's but it's a lot of money for just AF. Then I need some lenses, cage etc. Can't decide!
I really meesed up on the mounting screw sizes 😅 I'm tripping lol
VERY HELPFUL! Thank you!!!
Thank you

Thanks for the tip man

Love your lean, no nonsense style!
Looks great, man. Would love for that to suit my upcoming LUMIX S5 ii.
Bro u always making sure the setup is your own 😊clean and simple no fluff u got good taste 🎉❤
Thank you bro, and yes...no fluff. Simple really is better when you're a solo guy 🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@Altcine you’re right you’re right and how u been
Family doing good
U healthy??
Nice set up !
Thank you brother 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I do rate that handle. Such a nice feel to it
Hey Roly, yes it's a great handle, very functional.
what a lovely rig brother nice and tidy
Thank you brother
Goodluck and success

Love the set up bro. Very similar to mine and I love the use of the Blackmagic video Assist it creates beautiful footage

@@Altcine The expectation is that they are adding phase detect autofocus. I doubt they will add anything else.
What a nice Idea to put something on this Mattebox 🤔😉👍 very cool Idea. I made also recently a video about my Lumix S5 Rig :)
hey man.. nice stuff! What case are you using to pack your rig? saw it in the beginning and i'd love to get me one of those.. did u do your own foam cut out as well?
Hey! I love your setup, looks great 😍 what case are you using for your camera and what ND filter setup is that? Great video :)
NIce!
Lovely set up. What's that lens? Thanks.
Thank you. It's the 7 artisans vision 35mm
A very sleek set-up. Just curious with your matte box are you using screw on ND filters or can you insert filters through the box. Great review of your set-up by the way. New sub!
Wow!!! Exactly what I wanted, these trigger from the side handle, i wonder if it works with the Ninja V 🤔
But I got a Nitze rig, I don't know if it is compatible... 😄

It will trigger the ninja just like the video assist.
@@Altcine I will think about it
Thanks!
That's great if it triggers the Ninja V too! Such a hassle to click on the screen when it's heavy...
@@stephanes. Haha yes, I know EXACTLY what you mean!
@@Altcine 🤣
Plus, when the battery is not fully charged I have disconnnexion between the Ninja and the S5 though I have an atomos cable, when shooting in Prores Raw... Not good 😣
And I wish I could zoom to focus while recording when I'm using the S5 alone.
But otherwise I'm amazed by its crazy good looking image!!
@@stephanes. Oh really 😮 are you talking ninja or Panasonic battery? That's not good man
Looks great man, and you look like a happy dude new sub from me!
😮
Maybe extrange, but i use the top handle in the left side. I just dont like how tall the camera gets whith the handle in the top.
Bro, I totally understand. I actually can't stand when monitors sit to high and the rig feels unbalanced.
I wish I had the same experience with the Black Mamba cage, mine had too much slop and easily pried on my bottom mounting point. Really needed the anti twist on the right side rather than the left. Yours seems to fit better in the grip area so maybe I just got a bad unit?
Oh that's interesting. Did you get yours when it first came out? Smallrig might want to look into the quality control.
Why are people talking about the FX30 when you could spend the same amount and get the S5?
This is it Toby, the fx30 costs the same as the full S5 setup you see in this video Inc the video assist, cage and handle (I paid £1100 brand new for S5).

@@Altcine Makes complete sense. Thanks much.
what matbox are you using? nice review sir!
Thank you. I'm using Tilta mini mattebox
Nice work, how do you focus with cine lens bro, you add follow focus on the ring?
I though it was a failure of my S5. When pressing record button, the screen shuts and then start recording. It only happen in Pal mode, not in NTSC.
Hey I was wondering if you know how to set the framerate on the S5 to shoot 4k 30p 10 bit 422? I honestly can't find it in the options and i've looked around and I'm struggling to find answers. Thanks!
You have to choose MOV instead MP4 in the video menu.
@@nanomartellvideo3299 I figured it out not too long after🤣 I was using PAL instead of NTSC.
What is the main comparision betweeen the s5 vs bmpcc? Do you see a big difference in video quaility?
Is that a FX3 I spot in the beginning?
How do you think that the FX3 compares to the S5?
I’ve got two S5s and a GH5 but a bit frustrated with always having to manual focus (even though I’m decent at it)
