What camera do you wanna see me rig out next? Do you like seeing the more budget friendly cameras? Lemme know! 🤜
Now EOS M (first one) ^^
M6 Mark II
@@AMILLIONVOICES yaaaaassssss
Canon 80D
CANON M100!!!
Just bought an M50 mk2. Making payments on it. I didn't know getting into videos was going to be so expensive. I have a lot to learn. Thanks for posting.
The equipment you use DOES NOT MATTER. What you make with your equipment does. Try to tailor the videos you make with what equipment you have.
Having a good strong enough computer is more important for editing. You can fix and add what the camera lacks with today’s technology.
It doesn't have to be. This rig is for beginner cinematographers. Guys that are making actual movies. Look at casey niestat videos. He just has a gorilla pod, and a mic. His results are comparable to mini movies.
@@dontworryboutit404 This issue with that is that we need the bokeh efffect, frequently. It's a hallmark of cinema. Those lenses are typically not cheap. So yeah, it does matter.
@@JTguitarlessons most systems have one or more cheap options for bokeh 25mm in mft, 50mm in full frame and apsc
Would love to see the results you can actually get with these rigs......
i wasnt going to watch this bc i dont need the m50 but that mattebox info is helpful! you should do a video on that alone.
Well, I’m glad you decided to watch it anyways!! Thanks for that! Hopefully the mattebox info was helpful. Ya, maybe I’ll make a stand-alone video!
M50 MK2 has a clean HDMI output option so you can record a clean video to your recorder while having your settings shown on the camera's screen.
Oh that’s good to know! The MK2 made a lot of improvements
@@chadwin Yeah, it's quite decent. Got one myself for my birthday.
FYI, SmallRig Filter Tray for Mini Matte Box (4 x 4") at B&H $11.39 USA. Thanks for the video, Great work.
Okay cool, I’m gonna have to check those out! Using my 3D printer one until then haha
Bro, I was waiting for this on this channel for like 3 years !
I sold my Canon M50 months ago but I want to take another one right now just to rig her lol
Haha dang it! I finally make an M50 rig build and you just sold yours, poor timing on my part. Hopefully I can help out with your next rig at least 😂
@@chadwin you already helped me with the Tiny XT4 rig I’ll make asap 👁👁 hope i can find a yimchem v-mount battery tho
Will you maybe try some SLR Magic Microprime or APO lenses on the future?
@@davidson.mp4 oh that’s good to hear! Glad my X-T4 rig video was helpful with your next cam! I haven’t gotten my hands on the micro primes yet, but I’ve heard really great things! Maybe in the future I’ll get one
🤣🤣
Thanks for this...great B and C camera even without the rigging.
no problem! thanks for watching. yes, I've been using it as a BTS camera a lot and it's been working fine for that. still using my FX3 as the main, but this is a good b cam like you said.
cool! I'm currently rigging out my M50 MK II with a tilta mirage matte box, dji mic wireless lavalier, (aputure mc light if I figure out where to mount it for night interviews), and haven't decided on a monitor yet
I absolutely needed this video
This was awesome! I really wanted to see a video test but awesome video man
Beautiful man, I Always loved this Camera.
Yeah. It’s a great little camera!
Nice builds, thanks for the info! :)
thanks! hope it helps with your own build!
I would love to see you add a shotgun mic to this and show how you position it! Great video!
yeah, I would probably add a cold shoe mount to the side of the camera and then mount the shotgun mic there. thanks for watching!
What about Expanding battery life?
you should be able to buy a dummy battery for the M50 and plug into a wall outlet or v-mount battery
Best one yet for the Canon M50. Thanks!
MOUNT A VERTICAL SETUP WITH CANON M50
Bro add a v mount battery too! All this nice work and camera gonna shuts itself off after 30 mins of recording! 😂
haha this is true! I had trouble finding adapters that would allow me to add a dummy battery to the m50, i know they might exist but couldn't find one. the battery life is definitely bad without.
So I watched this video and bought the equipment but my camera was never able to actually shoot or record would you know why that is?
you need to turn on/off the setting the allows for shutter release when using an adapter for a manual lens. then you can record. hopefully you figured that out already tho cause this is an old comment now lol
How adaptable this rig is for Canon EOS R8 camera?
you can use a lot of the same parts, but you'll need a custom cage for the EOS R8. You'll also wanna get the right battery adapters for it. things like the top handle, monitor, follow focus, etc. will work on any camera really.
Where did you get your monitor?
the first monitor is the SmalHD Focus 5 which has been discontinued, but here's a replacement for it. th-cam.com/video/iFUtsyaIjXg/w-d-xo.html
The 2nd one is the Atomos Ninja V geni.us/TheNinjaV
Hello 👋🏻 Well I am looking forward to buy NINJA V. But before that I got few questions in my head.
1- I got canon M-50 MARK 2 ,so is it compatible with Ninja V
2- My only reason to my NINJA V is because I wanna record 1 hour video @1080@60 with M50 MARK 2, So it that possible to continuously record for 1 hour.
PLEASE DO ANSWER ME TO THIS.
YES! it's totally compatible with the ninja v and will give you unlimited record time. sorry for the late reply! good luck with your build! geni.us/TheNinjaV
Does the autofocus work with a matte box? Or the matte box is designed to work with manual focus?
Yep. The mattebox works with both manual and AF lenses!
This was sick! But where does the mic gg?
That was insane 😂
I just have one negative and constructive comment for you. On both builds, you did not add an external mic. Cheers.
You can add a side handle with the hot shoe on top
Yeah, it’s all good. I get that comment on nearly every rig build cause I don’t usually add a mic. The reason is I’m always recording my audio differently, typically externally to an audio recorder or I use a Lav mic. Putting a shotgun mic on the cam isn’t useful for me cause it’s just scratch audio, which I can get internally.
@@chadwin yup lavs are so much cleaner than even good shotgun mics
@@mhensen1 hmm not exactly. Nothing sounds better than a boom mic directly over an actor. But you of course can only do that for close ups. Lav mics are super useful because you can use them for wide shots, and cover multiple actors in a scene. But they dont sound better.
@@thethis926 fair enough, I work alone so it’s either a camera mounted mic or lav, that’s my work experience (ie limited) and for that the lav gives better interview sound.
Just a heads up, there's no way to monitor settings while recording to the Atomos👎
Magic Lantern!
Yeah, good idea. I still need to check out Magic Lantern. What are the best benefits of using it?
@@chadwin Well, I use it on the esom, m1. I believe the resolution is a bit better on the M5. Overall, I can record at 10, 12, 14, bit raw, at 1080p, 2.5k, 2.8k, 5k(Actually 1080 quality, lower moire), 2k, and so. You can change aspect ratios, and defish when using fish eye lens. Here is. A recent task I did using a Sigma 18-35,1.8, with a metabones speedbooster: I just ordered my Tokina, photo version, atx-i 11-20 for 2.5 crop at 2.5k: th-cam.com/video/YHceXw3l19g/w-d-xo.html
You can also edit and export those MLV files into Dng, Apple Pro Res, and so on, on the MLV app.
@@bryanbarajasBB wow that’s pretty cool! I didn’t know it gave you some many new recording options. I’m definitely gonna try it, I just don’t wanna brick my M50 if the magic lantern software messes up. Very cool, thanks for sharing that!
@@chadwin Check out Zeek's channel on ML. Interview him some day🙏
ML available on m50?
(B+)Great amazing foundation for a compact & useful rig, cable management could use some work. Overall great solid simple rig!
(^affordable rig)
(C)cool advancement for some of the features like follow focus, however cable management suffered even more in the long run. A Perfect example of (more $) not equating a “better” rig
I have the m6 mark ii. I just got the rokinon 85mm. But it doesn't work. Im clearly no pro. Can you rig that with that lens & show how to make it work. Like it works, it just won't record. Some help would be appreciated.
What is the best cheapest hybrid camera for video? It does not have to be M50 cheap. Something with good AF of course. It does not have to be full frame either.
Great content
I just bought everything you said and listed in the description but when I got it everything fits ok but my camera doesn’t want to record so I swapped out the lens and put my old one on and it work perfectly fine can any help me out with this
Oh really? What lens are you using that didn’t work? Was it a fully manual lens? You have to find the setting that says something like “allow shutter release without a lens mounted” cause the camera body doesn’t know you have a lens on there. Hope that fixes it for you and congrats on the new gear!
I didn't see the gear monitor link
And another question, I heard canon m50 dont transmit audio
എന്റെ മോനെ! ഇജ്ജാതി🔥!
Oh wow, this is super helpful. I don’t have the m50, I went for the m6 Mark II, but I still prefer filming with my r5.
I started my own TH-cam channel this year, making Mini Documentaries, would be awesome to get some professional feedback. Would hugely appreciate it
That’s awesome! Those are both great cameras you’re working with! I’m sure you’ll make some great docs and YT vids with them! I’ll check out your channel for sure!!
@@chadwin thank you 🙌

Thank you!

Bro i was thinking about making an 3d shortfilm but i don't know. how will i film 3d short film can you tell something about that
Nice, that would be cool to make a 3d short film! have you watched my latest video about making a star wars short film? i use a bunch of 3d assets in that with final cut pro. it may be worth checking out to point you in the right direction. th-cam.com/video/rM2JQKEp5YU/w-d-xo.html
Man, I’m feeling overwhelmed. Just got an M50 with the standard lens and a telephoto. I have several vintage lenses from my old Canon 35mm film camera, including a tele-extender. At this point, I have no idea what to get for it… I do want a lens hood that can pop on any of my lenses to cut down on glare and glare. Also want some kind of rubberized protective housing cause this camera was a huge investment… but at the same time the purpose would be defeated if I got a rig for it, because the shock of a drop would be transferred directly to the camera, bypassing the protective housing. I have no idea what to get for an adapter for my vintage lenses either. I’ve seen so many of these tricked out M50 videos and I’m just totally unsure of even my first move lol. I basically plan on shooting in my studio, doing some interviews inside local stores, and also doing a couple campo excursions including night shooting.
dont use the rubber cover, ( tons of dust and dirt gets caught under it and can get into the camera.. But a Small rig Cage.. you will love it
@@cocoscabana Solid heads-up tip right there! Thanks
Get a prime lens first. I recommend the Sigma Trio (16mm ; 30mm ; 56mm). Start with the 56mm for portraits for vlogs or superwide shots get the 16mm (mind you there is a crop of 1.6X So 16mm is around the 24mm mark but don't quote me on that.) Also, get a small rig or any other cage for the camera as its plastic as you know and the metal cage will protect it from scratches and scuffs and it also allows for some insane mounting options as well. But if you plan on upgrading to another canon camera down the line get a EF-M to EF/EFS adapter with autofocus and just get yourself some EF Sigma Tameron/Canon lens that will stay with you even as you upgrade down the line if you so choose. Short version, Get a cage and some good glass.
@Leo The Lion yes, I know, I always buy bright cases, for ease of finding quicker. Think of your phone. I even purchased the rubber case for my remotes. However with a camera, it's so delicate. I have found that the rubber neoprene cases, trap the smallest dust or dirt, then scratching can happen. It basically is minor protector of just that scratches. The tiniest of rough dirt, can really mess it up, especially near a button, or the mics. If useing indoors only, and no pets let's say, dust etc, maybe. You mentioned a camera bag, as I have as well, sure for a little while. I found myself, taking off the cover to clean more often, and getting edge dirt really embedded. I try to keep indoors, and only use my go pro outside. The M50 and all others have so many spaces and buttons compared to say a phone or tablet. Just my 3 cents worth...( I have 3 large dogs and live in the mountains ) so mine didn't last but 7 mos. before I just removed it for good, and clean the camera wipe down, dust lenses with icloth about 1xs a week, for prevention.
Hi great video, so what 3D printer did you use? thank you
Please, can u used it for canon 80D
I don't know about your motorised follow focus. The direction the handle is facing just makes it look not ergonomic at all. Don't get me wrong, it's cool, but the placement looks weird AF.
Niiiice! Thanks
I use the nifty fifty lens and the kit lens for my video. Which Matt Box do you use for that setup. I have the small rig cage on my m50. Thank you for your time.
Can I use this same rig setup on the canon r50?
No microphone?
One more question Chad, Ronin dji 4d tips and experiences?
Any ideas, how to change aperture and iso with external monitor connected?
you can just spin the dials and press the buttons the correspond to each setting from memory. or you could unplug the monitor, change settings and then plug it back in (which is def annoying but an option)
Can I please buy that 😫 filter from u please 🙏
haha! the links to everything are below! and you can 3d print or find a friend who can 3d print the filter holder adapter if needed.
Hi 👋, can I use external monitor atomos shinobi 5" with Canon eos m5 camera. Thanks
Yep! That should work perfectly well.
@@chadwin hi ... 👋 thank you, I bought shinobi 5" sadly there are no connecting cables or mount included however they added power adapter for not much use 🙂, I am happy with quality overall, it works fine but I don't have access to my camera screen and 'Q'uick option 🤏. Thanks again 🤝
@@israrhussainaquarius yeah, that’s a limitation of the M50, when you plug in a monitor the lcd screen goes black. You can get the settings on hdmi out, that way you can change settings easier.
That’s a bummer, depending on the monitor you buy, sometimes they come with hdmi cables and mounts, but Atomos usually doesn’t include any accessories
Do you have any works made with this ?
THANKS MAN. SHOW US SOME SAMPLE FOOTAGE NEXT TIME
thanks for watching! check out this video where I do show footage with the M50 rig!! th-cam.com/video/PwbtySBkiU4/w-d-xo.html I usually break up my rig videos and b-roll example videos since some people believe it or not don't like that ones with real footage. haha so many gear heads!
Hello! do you sale all cage together for m50 canon?
thanks for the wonderful video but i have a question...its it SAFE to connect all your devices on one D-TAP splitter.. my V-mount battery has just one D-TAP slot and i got a splitter to be able to connect other devices .. please advice me
yes! you can connect everything to a d-tap splitter, i do it all of the time. just makes sure your device can handle the 14.8v output and if it can't make sure the cable or dummy battery you're using down converts it first.
How do you shoot the video or even a photo on the rokinon lens...just go my 35mm rokinon cine lens and the adapter but it won't shoot....?
you must turn on "RELEASE SHUTTER WITHOUT A LENS ATTACHED" or some similar setting on your camera. it's because it's a fully manual lens with no electronic connections. hope that helps!
@@chadwin Thanks, I'm also turning my M50 into a video rig with the Rokinon 35mm Cine lens for Canon EF....
@@johnpatricklim4509 that's awesome! good luck with your rig build!!
I wonder if he’s sponsored by SmallRig. This comment is also from SmallRig. SmallRig.
The canon m50 is nothing in terms of price compared to the whole rig, what is the advantage of spending all that money even on the cheaper rig and not spend a couple hundred bucks more for a 10bit color camera?? What is the point of rigging an M50 like that? 🤔
This video reminds me so much of this Naked Gun 2 1/2 scene with Norberg's gun. th-cam.com/video/aSG_23DTvKs/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for the sub tho 🤜
@@chadwin TOO LATE, I just bought the rig, handles a few other accessories and im debating on the follow focus and motor or a higher one just because.
you better of buying a better camera
