Haha yes! I am planning on the new parts I eventually want to build my G9 rig out for a 2nd shooter. Honestly I love this format so much I might just buy this exact rig but get a V50 v mount batteries instead
Hi Just came across your video, I own a GH6 , and im gonna start using the V mount battery, what are the pro & cons on using a regular battery charged by the v mount instead of a Dummy Battery D Tap on the v mount ?
The Black Mamba cage is not suitable for the GH6 camera. SmallRig missed the boat on this with not being able to use the handle at the same time as having the XLR adapter on the GH6. Your cage is a much better choice. As for powering your monitor. Your v mount battery can do that at the same time as your camera.
Yeah I just need a dc power to usb or something for the vmount to power it or a dummy battery to usb C or B. That is good to know about the black mamba though!
Hello I believe that Kondor sells a dummy for gh-6 with an attachment cable to get around the door issue. I'll try to get more info on it. Great Presentation. I power my 6 with an Anker PB.
Yeah! I just found this out a couple weeks ago but at the time of recording this they didn’t but I’m not trying to drop another $50 on the same item that already works😅
@@MatthewDangyou I get you. Thanks for responding. I want to make sure I understand you clearly. you are using this battery to power the 6 and your monitor? If so, how heavy is the battery? Right now am using an INDI-PRO PD-95S, 14.8V, 6.6AH, 95WH to power my NINJA V. Do you think your Z Bat. could power both? whats your opinion. ?
@@enriquemartin8655 Yes and no to power my camera and monitor. The ZGCine battery is a V99 battery and it isn't that heavy. But I am using it to power my camera and charge my NPF Battery that has a USB C plug into it which makes the monitor last 3-4 hours on a small NPF battery. The entire rig has powered my camera for about 4-6 hours depending on the shoot of continuous recording and staying on the entire time.
@@MatthewDangyouooo! Maybe three things? id love to see 1.what it’s like to shoot 300fps but upscaled to 4k on TH-cam 2. What you think of it in low light situations? 3. What lenses would you recommend? Bonus: What’re your thoughts on its photo capabilities? The sale looks really good right now at bestbuy with the 12-35mm f/2.8 but I could be wrong
Awesome video Matthew! I’m consider a very similar build if I upgrade my GH5 to a GH6. I would add my existing XLR module and thus a different top handle. I would also power the camera via USB-c and the monitor via- D-tap. How much battery time are you getting approximately? I’m looking at Fxlion vmount batteries at the moment
Any reason why you went with a specific gh6 cage over your past universal cage builds? I’m not like how my s1h feels with a cage on it so I was looking to see if people still like or use universal cages vs camera specific cages. Thanks!
Yeah I just have 3 camera setups and since this is a pretty bulky camera already a universal cage would just make it bigger instead of a sleek design. My G9 has a camera specific cage as well and my G7 has the universal cage right now.
yes it can but two things, kondor blue just released a new dummy battery that works with this camera battery now and using USB C for power takes away SSD recording
Man the video was good and I was interested in see how you connect the battery and what kind of contact… but you started complaining about the battery door. Why? Keep complains away, please and give us the info complete. The video is good. It just needs to complete the info with your B-roll or an explanation.
Does the G9 fit on the gh6 cage? 😅 , i guess no ......, the smallrig cage of G9 is so ugly i rly want to find a better cage for my g9 , so i ask u that maybe stupid question 🤣🤣
Awesome looking Rig!! I hope you make an update on the g9 cine rig as well!
Haha yes! I am planning on the new parts I eventually want to build my G9 rig out for a 2nd shooter. Honestly I love this format so much I might just buy this exact rig but get a V50 v mount batteries instead
Thank you for this video. I need to do this too. I have the same camera.
Yeah this is a fun rig build

@@enriquemartin8655 Of course! I always try to reply!
Nice setup.
Thank you thank you
Yooooo I’m like debating on buying the gh6 too… but I’ll def watch whatever vids you make! “🔔”
Thank you thank you!! Any thing specific you want to see?

Those are great recommendations! Already was planning on a few of those ideas to film too!
@@MatthewDangyou looking forward to it! But for now enjoy the nice change of weather here in socal! I’m gettin LA but am in Escondido pretty often
@@jon112media nice! Let me know whenever you are in Escondido if you ever want to meet up or have questions I can answer for you🤙🏻

With the vmount battery I can shoot for a half day or roughly 4-6 hours
I'm modeling a rig after this: Where would you be able to easily mount an on-camera mic to this rig?
left side of the camera on the cage itself
Hi, what Nato rails are u using please ? Thank you
Small rig 8 inches I think
Hey man.. I am also searching for a dummy battery for my S5M2X. But as you said, the battery has to be removed??
Kondor blue fixed this issue with their dummy battery
@@MatthewDangyou can it be connected to the V mount via d-tap?
@MayurMahapatraFilms yes it can! I saw your message on IG I’ll send you a link directly to the product in a bit
@@MatthewDangyou thanks man

@@MatthewDangyou nice 👍🏻 thanks for the response
Nice! how long does this battery lasts on gh6 ?
I have used this vmount for 4-6 hours on a shoot before with the GH6
Hey how long does the V-Mount Battery last you on a full charge?
roughly 4-6 hours
Can't the GH6 be run off USB C? That would negate one of your issues with the dummy battery.
yes it can but two things, kondor blue just released a new dummy battery that works with this camera battery now and using USB C for power takes away SSD recording

Update for you is Kondor Blue has a new dummy dtap battery that works with the GH6 door and it rocks!
