I had the GH5 for several years - and a G9 as my B-cam - but now I have the GH5s and the GH5ii for Video (each with their own Ninja V) The GH5s lives on a gimbal and the GH5ii on sticks (whilst also in a cage for easy carriage plus the option to swap to a bit of hand held. And lo, there was peace in the Valley!
anyone else have a sigh of relief once he finally clipped his mic to his sweater? lol oh its just me? ok... Any who! I always wanted a half cage for my GH5. The only time I saw a half cage offered was when you had the GH5 rigged with the battery grip... No longer a GH5 owner but man did I love that camera.... Mini C100 lol
Hah, just as you started with the Super Glue, I was saying, "No! For a structural adhesive for metal you should be using epoxy, like JB Weld." I was about to type that in as a comment when there you went. For work like this, it's worth looking into the various types of epoxies. The Double Bubble series of epoxies is available from many places in small amounts, with different formulations tailored to different applications (e.g., machineable, high peel strength, etc.). Cool build; thanks for sharing this. -Tom
Very cool to see someone doing some actual mods to get their rig how they want, not just assembling off-the-shelf parts and accepting the shortcomings. Right now I'm finishing up some work to my S5IIX setup, I turned my drill press into a half-ass mill to get my rod baseplate to the profile I wanted, and rigged a quick-release counterweight to help smooth the jiggles when shooting fisheye. Next up is some DIY Trekpak dividers for my Peli case to give it a snug little home to live in.
It´s so much fun watching you trying to get the cage where you want it. I own a S5ii, a G9 and a gx85 and with the S5 bein my main cam for TH-cam. As much as the S5 is superior to both cams, I just love filming everything with family and friends with the gx85. It´s not about it´s technicality, it´s about this inspiring little package with all it´s limitations making a perfect image (beside the quality being great anyway) second place behind just capturing memories. I thought about getting myself a GH5 just for the vibe, but owning a G9 and S5 I think it´s not close being neccessary. I enjoy both of your channels very much! Thanks for the inspiration!
Hello. There are inexpensive Chinese collapsible cages. Just unscrew a couple of screws and the cage will turn into a half-cage. Although the cast monolith, of course, looks more reliable.
Have you ever tried the OG bmpcc speedbooster by metabones? The 0.58x one. I have tried it on a couple M4/3 cameras and it only fits on a couple, I'm intrigued if it fits on the gh5!
Yeah when I had the GH3 I used that speed booster on it and as long as I made shure the electronic shutter was on, it worked fine. I haven't tried that version of the speed booster in years though so I'm not sure if its the same on the GH5
I'm still using my GH5s for personal and clinet work and of course all rigged out clients don't really know what they are looking at and of course pay me for the finished goods...I have the Smallrig version 2 cage, but admittedly wanting to spend the $149 for an 8sinn gh5/gh5s cage for no other reason than it looks just so good...

You of course can weld aluminium! If you find a workshop then they can also add some reinforcement to minimise any sort of bend. But to be frank this is one of the more sketchy DIY rigs. :D
I'm hurt.. You said this is just for your GH5 not like the camera you use for client work ...The GH5 is my client camera 😊. One day I'll be able to afford better. Cheers.

Thanks for showing love to older cameras!

I believe the one made to the bmpcc back element sticks out very deep and you risk damaging your sensor!
Yeah, it fits on the bmpcc 4K, but would touch the sensor of other cameras I tried it on, had to be careful when trying it lol.
Yeah when I had the GH3 I used that speed booster on it and as long as I made shure the electronic shutter was on, it worked fine. I haven't tried that version of the speed booster in years though so I'm not sure if its the same on the GH5
I have a half cage for the GH5 for using it with the Batterygrip

Yeah I misspoke, I meant I can't weld aluminum. But TBH the JB weld worked great, even if it looks a little sketch
The link for your top handle doesn't seem to work.
Great stuff! Now I wann make a cage for my old D5300

Correction, "I can't weld aluminum"
@@nigelbarrostoo haha love the channel

Don't get me wrong, you can totally do amazing work with the Gh5, I just personally will only be using it for youtube stuff and small jobs
@@nigelbarrostoo It's all good.
