I first watched this video two years ago and thought it was great. I'm now in the process of building a rig for my R6 and came back to this for some sage advice. Watching it for a third time now. Thanks so much for posting this, Ashston - Cheers!
@@TheRealBarkinMadd hey man I absolutely love this comment and I’m glad I was able to help you, thanks again for watching here’s to the future of videographers 🫶🏾
For others following along - you might want to change out the matte box support for a general lens support if you are using a zoom lens - for zoom lenses where the barrel telescopes out, you can't use a support that locks the matte box into place (of course). I didn't think of this initially when I was putting my order together but have since made the slight modification. I suppose if I were using a prime lens it wouldn't matter as much. Note that in my case I'm using a Canon RF 24-105 f4.0 L lens for most of my video shooting. Nevertheless, this video was key to putting together a fantastic rig. Thanks again :-)
@ hey buddy, yes you’re correct if I’m using zoom lens I don’t use the matt box support but I’m pretty much a prime shooter so even then I don’t use the Matt box support. However, I find myself not using the support match these days as it’s easier when swapping out lenses.
@@ashstonk Where it can be useful is if you use a follow focus - it can help keep the lens barrel steady - at lease that's the theory - I haven't tried it yet. Still waiting for a few parts, lol. Cheers and thanks again!
I love my R6 but I'm pretty sure Canon is trying to drive me crazy, lol. I just discovered that when recording to a remote device (Ninja V) if you trigger the recording in camera, the recording stops after 30 minutes even though you are not actually recording to the camera's SD card. OK - so I just trigger the recording on the Ninja V, you say? Sure, but then the screen saver kicks in to shut the screen down on the R6 after so many minutes (to a maximum of 30 minutes). You can keep on recording to the Ninja V, that's not a problem but you know what doesn't work when the screen turns off? Manual focus. Holy crap! So if you are using a wireless follow focus (such as the MagicFIZ from SmallRig) and you thought you could keep on adjusting the focus remotely, you would be wrong! After 30 minutes, manual focus stops working and you need to prod the R6 to wake up the screen. This is with firmware version 1.9.0, btw. Thought I'd post this here since this is such an amazing cinema rig build tutorial (I've now built mine with most of what you described - I'm very happy with it - big thanks, Ashston). Peace.
Move the monitor to the swivel handle, that way the screen follows your own movements (it will always point in the direction of the operator), then move your mic to the tophandle (I prefer the side at an angle because it reduces totat rig height. Lovely setup!
I built out the exact same rig with an R6 mk ii, although I used a DTAP 4 way cable splitter so I could add a MagicFiz wireless focus with handle grip for focusing. It shoots 6K ProresRAW which looks way better. That option shoots in CLOG2/cinema gamut on the Ninja V+, and gives superior footage to the CLOG3/BT2020 ProResHQ option. If you use the RF f2 28-70 lens you’ll need the next size up matte box 2660 with the 114mm thread. This looks almost as good as Red Komodo X footage in my tests.
Heya thx for watching I’ve actually got the R6mk 2 now. I use on this rig and yes it looks like a red Komodo when out shoot. I love it. I also have the r5 and both ninja v and ninja v plus 👌🏾
What I did with tidying my cables is buy a coiled version of the micro HDMI to HDMI and I also bought a D-Tap to DC cable to power my Field Monitor. I also use a USB-C to USB-C coiled cable to power my R6ii directly from the V-Mount battery without using a dummy battery.
Such a good walk through. Thank you so much for sharing. You definitely got some key points that I had questions in and interests how to set up my r6. Great review of products
Amazing and thanks for this, I was thinking to go with tilta cause of someone saying that smallrig flexing with this camera but I see thats not the case. this is the exact setup I was looking for to get myself to shoot short movies and you just checked all the boxes, we both got the same name. Super big thanks A. im going to organize this setup as well.
Awesome happy to help. Small rig is amazing I use this always. Hand help or tripod. If u can afford get the small rig v Mount batteries. Thanks again for watching
@@ashstonk will definitely check them out, will get those looks more convenient im thinking about how to go about all of this since im using my gimbal to keep the r62 balanced.
Well to be fair, I now have the R62 also but you can’t put this whole cage on a gimbal its impossible. It’s too heavy you can put a cage and Matt box but not the v Mount battery and monitor . However I’m not sure what gimbal you are using, but witj the RS2 you can get a plate that connects to be v Mount battery at the bottom of the gimbal. I think Tilta does it. Perhaps look at videos where you can connect v batteries to the RS2.
Excellent video Ashston. I own the R6 and Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art lens and it’s a perfect combination. This lens is super sharp and I’m really happy with it.. I’m looking for a compact rig set up and this video has been super useful, thank you. I like the SmallRig setup however the only thing that is stopping me from purchasing is the the SmallRig logo. I don’t particularly like it and the fact that they put the logo on every component makes it look worse in my opinion.. besides that the shape and design of each component looks very sleek and the way you put it together looks perfect..
Hey buddy, thank you so much for watching and I couldn’t agree with you more. I hate the logo myself, especially now they put that red logo in the front of the cage but you know what I just bite the bullet and get on with it because it looks so sexy and pro when you are working with it. I just ignore the logo, you can always paint over it lol or stick gaffer tape on it. Yeah it’s the perfect set up for the r6/r5 and yes, the Sigma 50 1.4 is truly one of the sharpest lenses I’ve ever used actually I own 20, 35 & 50 Sigma art lens. I use to have the 85 also but was mad heavy. Lol.
Hey I thank you for watching there are loads of videos about your request that’s why I haven’t done one also I don’t really use luts. However there are many luts online that are free just Gotta check them out…
Hey thank you for watching well firstly I did a lot of free work and then it became recommendations and now people find me either through my website or my Instagram…
Can you maybe also make a video of how to hold and move the camera when you film? I no video online explaining this, that would be great... do you look down on the screen? As a photograpger I always use to have the camera on my face :)
super cool video, love how you go in depth with each piece. could you give a full package weight for the whole rig? I most likely won't use a hood but do have some weight restrictions for tripods and cameras arms for my work, (I film in the woods and mountains)
Hey thanks so much for watching man I’ll definitely get that weighted for you however the hood is very very light as his carbon fibre its doesn’t even feel like it’s there but I’ll get it weighed and let you know
Thanks for the video. The only thing i was wondering about, when you set your autofocus to tracking, can you select your focus area on the Atomos ninja or do you still have to tap on the rear LCD of the R6?
Hey thank you for watching you have no controls of the camera auto focus system through the Ninja. However they are six tracks so so well that I’ve not had any problem with the focusing
No that’s stays and it only shuts off when you cycle through the menus on the camera, which then shows on the ninja V but recording purposes, both screen stays on
@@ashstonk i meant that more as a joke, i cant quite call this "lightweight" but i do appreciate a genuine response lol. im gonna whine to you whenever i need camera advice from now on hahah
Great Video! But why does your flip out screen stays on in this position. Mine turns black when I flip it 90 degrees like you did. in addition to that, i cant record while showing the hdmi output on the monitor. How did sou solve this problem
Hey, thank you so much for watching. You need to go inside the camera and put screen only on so that the sense of does not block out the screen so you need to go inside the camera to change that. Also you need to change the settings in the camera for it to view while you’re exporting at HDMI.
@@winterproductionsnw yes I guess we have to wait and see. Or I will contact them directly to asked why they left out canon 😂. I mean this video has made them a lot of money as lots have bought this same set up since I’ve posted it.
@@ashstonk Yeah I am looking to build a rig but i want a side handle with that function i mean the other companies have a top handle with that function.
Question, Does the R6 with this cinemarig setup still overheat after minutes filming? or any troubles with heat? or give you maybe more minutes of long record (15min plus), great video, very helpful... ¿is there dummy battery d-tap for R-6? KUNLUN Batería de montaje en V de 220 Wh, 15000 mAh con puertos USB D-TAP DC para cámaras de video Sony, videocámaras, luces LED de transmisión, monitores de repuesto para DSLR does this would work?
Hey thank you so much for watching and thank you for your comment. Honestly bro, if you shoot 4K, 24 FPS, you can shoot forever without any overheating issues. I’ve shot a full wedding with this set up with not overheating, even 4K 60. You do get a longer record time because you’re shooting externally but to be honest you since I have the r6 I’ve never had any heating or over heating issues with it as I always shoot externally, especially now with the new firmware 1.6 it’s done something to this camera even my R5 now doesn’t overheat at all with this new firmware. This rig is a big help
@@ashstonk thanks men, I just realise I need to update to 1.6. something... and certainly I'll be getting this setup rig or close enough, thank man, very helpful
Great Video and nice setup, I purchased this camera a couple months ago and shot some spec work on my channel and honestly I'm making this my main shooter for a while. I'm new to this channel so is the R6 your main shooter or B cam?
Hey thank you for watching so the R6 is my main video camera because I don’t have any overheating issue with it especially filming with the ninja V and yhe R5 is my second camera however I am a photographer fast now videographer so the R5 is my main photography camera and the r6 is my main video camera…
Hey thx for watching i filmed a full day wedding on the one battery. So I can’t really say for sure. But never had to worry about swapping battery…so from getting ready to first dance and more. It have 4 battery indicators i still had one left after I was finished.
Hey thank you for watching. If you meant the R62 u will need to new cage. The cages are little different but everything work. I now have the R6mk2 and all still work will just need a new cage
One last question - I use the Canon 50mm 1.8 & cANON 35mm 1.8 that they require 49mm and 52 mm lens filter. Does that mean that the matte box will not fit those?
@@Arismercury hey buddy once again thank you so much for watching so the Matt box comes with 3 adapters with different lens thread but I think the smallest thread is 67 mm adapter. You have two choices. You can buy separate adapter that would fit your lenses (matt box adapter) or you can just get step up rings so like a 49 to 67 step up ring a 52 to 67 step up ring that way you will be good to go. Good luck up
Heya not at all. Just need to maybe not use the Mattbox stabilisers which connects to the rods, but you don’t need it. Plus the idea rig is that your intended use is to use one and only just to make it work less stressful lol
Hello again Ashston, what's the brand of your grip that you use to put the rig on a standing position? I don't think you've listed it in the comments section..
Hi there thank you for watch. I use this bag Cullmann - 98380 - Amsterdam Maxima 520 - Camera Bag for Medium to Extra Large DSLR Equipment - Inside Dimensions: 360 x 170 x 200 mm amzn.eu/d/eSZLLGl It’s a snug fit. But it’s the only bag I can find without a hefty prices.
Quick question. I know the R6 Mk2 has a lot of video upgrades to the mk1. Can the R6 Mk1 shoot raw when recording to an atomos recorder, or are you stuck with IPB ?
Hey, thank you for watching unfortunately No the R6 mark 1 has no raw capabilities but it’s still a very great camera and when pair with atomos the apple ProRes file is amazing. I have since sold my R6 mk1 to get the R6 mk2 purely because of the amazing video capabilities and 6K raw opposed to the 8K raw, which was a overkill R5
With an external monitor (like a Atomos Shinobi) connected, will the R5’s back LCD still work? Or does it black out when an HDMI connection is made? I think I’ve changed all of the HDMI settings around and the LCD stays black until I pull the HDMI cable.
Hello, I use this with a canon 85mm lens and it looks like the matte box is too heavy and causing a lens error whenever I tilt the rig downwards. If I use the rod clamp to support the mattebox rhen the lens is locked and not able to focus since it comes in and out while trying to focus. Is it just the lens that is not compatible?
Hey thank you so much for watching. Perhaps try using it without the support clamp because you don’t really need the support clamp at all. I just put it on there just for some extra security but you don’t really necessarily need it. None of all my lens is our prime, so I don’t have no issues with the lenses. Don’t move at all so maybe Try without the support for the mat box or and then you can zoom in and out because once I use it on my canon 24-70 which is a zoom lens and I just did not put the support clamp on so that the box can move freely forward and backwards
@@ashstonk Thank you ao much for your response! I get the same error even withour the aupport clamp but I forgot to mention a major fact ; I upgraded the mini matte box for the Multifunctional Modular Matte Box which is double to weight compare to the mini. Do you think this is the issue?
@@Arismercury hey buddy I think it’s the lens has a problem. A friend of mine was using her 24-70 on her Canan r62 body and she kept having this error she took it to the repair centre and they said it was the lens.
Hi great demonstration. Would you know if a 7.4 foot output will power a Canon R5C? Your battery says 8 volt. I am looking into smaller battery solutions for a lighter set up and a lot of battery plates say either 12 volt or 7.4?
Yes it will because batteries for the r5/r6/r5c are 7.2 Volts. Thx for watching. Also most v mount plates have a 7.2 V output but for some reason small rig v mount plate went with the 8 V.. so ideally I can put a small battery on here but it will still output 8V because of the v mount plate that I’m using.. hope this helps..
@@ashstonk I just saw it says 7.2 volts as you say. Would that mean anything about 7.2 volts would potentially damage your camera though? Like you are using the 8 volt on your rig?
@@TheHitchcockBlues no it will be fine. the camera can handle it. Its just what the battery outputs…. Just don’t go about 8V. Plus im sure the dummy battery acts as a volt controller.. just looking at a plug-in adapter and the adapter output 8 V some, so the dummy battery plays a significant part in alternating the correct current i guess…. I mean i shot a whole wedding with no issue

@@Webrisernl I treat everyone as I would like be treated. You are welcome 🙏🏾
Hello again Ashston, what's the brand of your grip that you use to put the rig on a standing position? I don't think you've listed it in the comments section..
Hi there, I just use the grip from my DJ Ronin RS2.
How much would this rig (excluding the R6 itself) cost in total?
Thank you for watching. adding quickly all the prices on the links mentioned it would be £1145 (including the
Atomos but no including the camera)
What minimalist bag would you recommend for the camera with it already rigged and ready to go?
Hi there thank you for watch. I use this bag Cullmann - 98380 - Amsterdam Maxima 520 - Camera Bag for Medium to Extra Large DSLR Equipment - Inside Dimensions: 360 x 170 x 200 mm amzn.eu/d/eSZLLGl
It’s a snug fit. But it’s the only bag I can find without a hefty prices.
is the battery pack also to feed the camera or only the screen? And how long can you film with it?
Yes, the battery pack powers the whole rig so it powers the camera using a dummy battery
Hey. Is there any play in the rods when they’re clamped on that Smallrig 3357 baseplate?
Hi there thank you for watching. There’s zero play as the rods fits nicely and are tighten down with base plate tighteners
14:19 he spot on the hole on the handle furthest to the right! do what you want with this info
Hey I don’t get this comment
Quick question. I know the R6 Mk2 has a lot of video upgrades to the mk1. Can the R6 Mk1 shoot raw when recording to an atomos recorder, or are you stuck with IPB ?
Hey, thank you for watching unfortunately No the R6 mark 1 has no raw capabilities but it’s still a very great camera and when pair with atomos the apple ProRes file is amazing. I have since sold my R6 mk1 to get the R6 mk2 purely because of the amazing video capabilities and 6K raw opposed to the 8K raw, which was a overkill R5
With an external monitor (like a Atomos Shinobi) connected, will the R5’s back LCD still work? Or does it black out when an HDMI connection is made? I think I’ve changed all of the HDMI settings around and the LCD stays black until I pull the HDMI cable.
It should stay on. U need to check the setting in camera.
I have checked. Still only showing on the Shinobi. I wonder if it’s because I’m recording 4K 60?
@@ericgrayphoto no the shinobi can handle 4k60. Ok I’m camera menu shoot 8. The hdmi display needs to be camera + monitor
If that doesn’t work go to yellow menu which’s the rench and check ur screen settings. Shud be on auto1 or screen
Not sure what I changed but I got it to work. Thanks for the suggestions.
Good👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔥
Thank you for watching
Hello, I use this with a canon 85mm lens and it looks like the matte box is too heavy and causing a lens error whenever I tilt the rig downwards. If I use the rod clamp to support the mattebox rhen the lens is locked and not able to focus since it comes in and out while trying to focus. Is it just the lens that is
not compatible?
Hey thank you so much for watching. Perhaps try using it without the support clamp because you don’t really need the support clamp at all. I just put it on there just for some extra security but you don’t really necessarily need it. None of all my lens is our prime, so I don’t have no issues with the lenses. Don’t move at all so maybe Try without the support for the mat box or and then you can zoom in and out because once I use it on my canon 24-70 which is a zoom lens and I just did not put the support clamp on so that the box can move freely forward and backwards
@@ashstonk Thank you ao much for your response! I get the same error even withour the aupport clamp but I forgot to mention a major fact ; I upgraded the mini matte box for the Multifunctional Modular Matte Box which is double to weight compare to the mini. Do you think this is the issue?
@@Arismercury hey buddy I think it’s the lens has a problem. A friend of mine was using her 24-70 on her Canan r62 body and she kept having this error she took it to the repair centre and they said it was the lens.
@@ashstonk Thank you 💪🏻 I will check the lens with the supplier and see if that’s the issue
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thx G. Thanks for support. Bless
Has anyone calculated the price for all of this?
adding quickly all the prices on the links mentioned it would be £1145 (including the Atomos but no including the camera)
Hi great demonstration. Would you know if a 7.4 foot output will power a Canon R5C? Your battery says 8 volt. I am looking into smaller battery solutions for a lighter set up and a lot of battery plates say either 12 volt or 7.4?
Yes it will because batteries for the r5/r6/r5c are 7.2 Volts. Thx for watching. Also most v mount plates have a 7.2 V output but for some reason small rig v mount plate went with the 8 V.. so ideally I can put a small battery on here but it will still output 8V because of the v mount plate that I’m using.. hope this helps..
@@ashstonk I just saw it says 7.2 volts as you say. Would that mean anything about 7.2 volts would potentially damage your camera though? Like you are using the 8 volt on your rig?
@@TheHitchcockBlues no it will be fine. the camera can handle it. Its just what the battery outputs…. Just don’t go about 8V. Plus im sure the dummy battery acts as a volt controller.. just looking at a plug-in adapter and the adapter output 8 V some, so the dummy battery plays a significant part in alternating the correct current i guess…. I mean i shot a whole wedding with no issue
