years of watching Caleb come up with CUSTOM or DIY setup is genuinely satisfying to watch.
Thanks James! I feel like I should honestly chill out on reviews and just make stuff. It is really what makes me tick.
@@RadCameraMan this ^^^
@@RadCameraMan I agree. $55 is in line with what it should cost if made from machined aluminum, not PLA or ABS
Yep. Plus it's very easy with smallrig dreamrig program !
@@dslrvideoshooter that was awesome! I'm POSITIVELY going to cobble a Guerilla Rig like that one for my Sony a6000/a6400. That is the run & gun set-up I need now. But if YOU were to put something together and share it with us, I won't be mad....
Caleb just needs to deign his own camera at this point!
Ha! Thanks brother!
Bump
LOL sooo true!
I second this motion.
people could buy the whole rig or custom cam
This is so good! love the way you approach these setups
It's strange to think that a non-videographer has seen this video at least half a dozen times. I'm amazed at how loving and functional this small, but fine creation of a video rig is. A successful temptation for getting started in videography.
That’s how I started, I remember just watching camera reviews of the micro blackmagic, bmpcc and canon with no intention of owning a camera. And Now I own the bmpcc4k and into cinematography.
That literally almost hot swappable SSD holder concept is absolute genius. The whole rig looks awesome. 👌
Thanks so much NIYI!
Literally paused the video and ordered it on the spot. Absolutely genius!
@@dslrvideoshooter Have you tested this camera with a m.2 to usbc dock. Could throw in a 8tb ssd and not need to worry about storage space
IKR, It’s a RED mag, but not insanely expensive for literally no reason
Goodness, I don't think there's another channel that leverages maximum equipment potential the way you do. Keep up the efficiency!
Thank you for the very generous words! So glad you're digging the builds!
I just love the combination of 3D printing and camera gear! Awesome that you designs and printed your own dock for the SSD's.
Love the tiny build. For ingesting the uncompressed DNG's using Slimraw allows for all types of compression (lossy, lossless, 3:1, 7:1, etc) and also enables Premiere compatibility. Dark Power Labs also has some great tiny cage designs and ssd solutions.
Yes never throw away the negatives, just use slimraw to make the file size manageable and even smaller than proress while being more flexible
This is low-key revolutionary. As indie filmmakers and content creators, we're either trying to make our tiny cameras look beefier with a cinema rig or larger cameras more compact with minimal accessories. This is taking a different direction, with a tiny camera and a tiny rig 😂. It's cute, does everything a larger rig does, but you can actually use it when travelling or if you really need to shoot a film in stealth mode. The bigger your setup, the bigger the reaction you get from people when you bust it out. You don't always want the attention. I never want it tbh.
Your playlist of rigs for every possible budget and scenario are priceless. Hope you're getting paid enough for all your tireless efforts and time bro. God bless you.
I own two Sigma FPS and I absolutely love them. The other cool thing with this setup being so small is it could be easily converted to a webcam super fast as the ofp connects via USB C to your computer and is recognized right away as webcam
Wow, that's impressive! I just saw my dream in a little custom package! Thank you so much for sharing this and many other pearls of your wisdom! 😍
WOW! it is tiny! I love the look of this small Build. The Idea with the cable sleeve is brilliant and I would go with it for my next build for the clean look. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.
Caleb is the sole reason I sit for hours at a work bench making camera rigs, only for him to then come out with another BANGER rig and I buy all the parts!
Nothing is more therapeutic!
@@dslrvideoshooter AGREED MAN, youre an inspiration to me man. One day I wanna do work just like you!!
I love this! I’m still a little ways of from having a full cinema rig. I think I’m going to go this route! You seriously just blew my mind with the awesomeness of this rig! I’ll definitely be looking into this cam!
I did not know such a camera could save the file directly to an external SSD drive. This make the transfer of file obsolete as you can connect it directly to your computer and work immediately. Thank you for your search and thank you for sharing it. This is brillant.
Great video man. That is one cool battery dock too. I believe the Sigma fp is the best "sleeper" camera on the market today. Agreed that it is a small 12bit DNG , BM RAW, ProRes RAW, and superb still image camera that just works. I also strip it down and use it as a light weight FF travel camera with native Sigma L-mount F2 lenses.
That's up there with your video on The Perfect Rig! Great Video and now I just want to build one my self.. I love the fact that it's soooo compact and full frame! Thanks for this!!!!
awesome build as always. I love watching your videos and seeing all the great ideas you have. They have definitely inspired me to rethink how I build out my cameras over the years.
Awesome build! Really enjoyed watching the thing coming together. Thanks for making this video!
Very impressive! There is no-one better on TH-cam when it comes to building stuff like this.
The cutest, cleanest, littlest cinema rig. I would never use it (just not my workflow/style) but I love watching your videos. Thanks for the heads up on those cable clips. I'll have to check it out.
So happy to see your Sigma build!!! I have one and I love your builds! Great to how you put everything together!!!
The is the best setup ever! I'm super into small rigs and this is the best I've ever seen. The implementation is similar to what I use already, Npf plate to power a GH5 and Ninja V with custom power cables. Having the Fp and portkeys is so beautifully compact! That handle is great too! Good work as always
Caleb, idk if you read many comments these days, but I just wanted to let you know that I've just wrapped production on my first short film in three years, and your tutorials were so useful in getting this project made. All the best dude, you're awesome
I do and really appreciate the kind words SL! Honestly comments like this really do help me get through the yucky parts of production so thank you!
@@dslrvideoshooter keep doing what you're doing man! Can't tell you how useful your old lighting videos were for getting this thing done!
Man this is such a gorgeous setup. Obviously not for every shoot. But I can see this being an absolute banger for home movies.
Wow incredible! This is the culmination of all your work - the ultimate camera rig!
Simply amazing! :D
Best creator on the platform for years. Love this video and love the creativity you bring to all of these cinema rigs. Reminds me of when I would build with legos. The endless amount of possibilities makes this a life long activity.
Caleb just needs to deign his own camera at this point!. This is so good! love the way you approach these setups.
I've been watching your videos since I had my canon 7d. Always so informative and creative. The quality just keeps getting better.
Greatness in a tiny package! Love the build.
2:52 If you ask smallrig and pay an additional setup fee (not much I believe) they will produce discontinued parts for you. For an additional fee they’ll even anodise them in different colours to black.
Super clean. I know nothing about cinematography, but I recognize the attention to detail and workmanship in creating this rig. Well done
Small rig punching the air right now
Love this Legend, first video of yours I've watched but loved the delivery and inspiration for the video. keep killing it, Fam!!
Nice!! I have an alternate workflow to reduce size and maintain raw capability: buy the slimraw plugin! I use it to offload footage from my sd card to convert bmpcc (og) dng into compressed raw up to 7:1. Resolve handles them perfectly similar to braw. Transcoding them is almost the same speed as copying them. Slimraw also supports sigmafp footage. Cannot recommended them enough
I think the new Panasonic S5IIX would be a great candidate for a custom build like this with its 6k raw external recording, still smallish size, and internal stabilization
You wouldn't be able to have the external SSD though, which is unfortunate.
@@chikenfoot7253 Yes you could? The s5iix can record to external SSD. If you want to also run a external recorder for raw, you can send that footage to the SSD as well
Exactly why i'm here! It's tempting to do something similar, but I'm thinking down the line, there will be options for the S5IIX /External SSD holders.
I have a lumix s5 and the sigma is alot smaller if your truly want the smallest this is the way to go
Thanks for making these videos Caleb. Loving your custom builds. Would love to see you make a similar cinema build of the original Lumix S5.
This is straight-up amazing! Love the minimalistic approach.
Outstanding build! There is no substitute for genuine old-fashioned know-how, Caleb, and you definitely know how.
Very interesting and inspiring! Since it's a Sigma camera, you could also use a Blackmagic Video Assist as a monitor and record in BRAW, which would speed up the workflow and reduce file size.
This whole setup is super clean and minimal! Excellent video!
Uhm i'm loving this for action shots like parkout or stuff like that the light and small form factor gives you so many possibilities
Caleb is a treasure in filmmaking industry
sorry man but Caleb's channel has nothing to do with the film industry or even film production. His channel is basically 100 percent video production, and mainly gear related...that's why it's so popular on TH-cam
The SSD was removed or installed to it's cage 16 times in this video. Awesome as always! :D
Can't resist that satisfying clicking sound
This is so cool! Love the use of 3D printing in the build
Fascinating. Looks good, too!
Do an Ultimate FX30 build!
This is so cool! Curious if you could swap the sigma FP for a Sony Fx3?
I don't know if they allow external B-raw via USB, or 12 bit?
Amazing build - thank you for sharing!
Amazing video and so informative!
whats the total cost?
I just wanted to say that I truly appreciate this review and too the encouragement at the end of the video as I begin to step out!!
Amazing! Love watching your builds.
great work! love this tiny but powerful piece❤❤❤
This setup is absolutely insane! I wannit!
One of the best rigs I've seen in my life, optimisation is the key
recently you mention your doubts and fatigue about YT but only you does this video like this. So educational and so much value
this rig is wild and i love it.
This is just amazing, results are insane!! Congrats man!
Your soldering and wire loom/organization makes me happy :). Sick build btw as well!!
I love the fp - I work with her over a year now. Just one thing about the Samsung SSDs: if you want to shoot in 4k ALWAYS use the T5! The T7 is too slow! So if you try to record with the T7 in 4k after about one minute recording will stop (reason: the cache reached its limit). If you do not believe me try it for yourself.
Our hero! I love that you are selling the docks as well. Such a wicked rig. I am actually considering switching to something like this as I begin my own content. Something that can put out high end files but feels like I could chuck it in a big with a mini tripod and film mundane vlog style content. Seriously bravo on making me want to save for something again
You are so good at these Caleb....Always great to see your creativity at work!!
Wow. The most practical setup I have ever seen and heard about.
This is so functional, loved the cable setup and the 3D printed rig for the ssd. Wonderful video! I want one of those 3d printed rigs!
This rig is awesome!! Thank you for sharing, amazing video! 🙏🏾
AMAZING STUFF WITH THE SSD!!! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Looking great man! Thanks for the content.
Great video. I love all the 3D printed parts. It’s giving me all sort of ideas!
Very impressive!
Mind blown! I've read about the FP (and I'm even a Sigma Merril stills shooter, a truly amazing if a bit quirky camera for stills) but I completely forgot about the FP as a solution for video. As someone who uses the black magic pocket 4k, rigged up, I find it still a bit unwieldy, this FP setup is amazing.
This was a ton of fun, makes me want to explore more, as usual. Thanks!
This is great!
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I’m looking for. Well done 👍
Love the look of that 7Artisans lens.
Wonderful rig!!! Finally some love for the FP. I have 2 of them. No stab, no AF, can't be happier.
Another great kit from the custom kit master ! 🙌🏻
Caleb you are a GENIUS!!!!!! Hands down.. the things you come up with are just out of this world!!!!!
This looks really interesting and functional.
Great Video
Thanks for sharing
Always amazed by your ingenuity.
Love it! Tinkering like this is so much fun!
You can also use Slimraw to losslessly compress the CDNG files, definitely an essential tool for anyone shooting to CDNG!
Caleb! Love your content! I can suggest one thing, but just for aesthetics, you can 3d-print a “lid” or a “beauty cover” for the empty space in battery slot in the monitor, like a cover for the exposed battery contacts
The footage showing the child is phenomenal. I only dream of having footage of this quality.
Awesome video and guide on how it was made. Amazing stuff as always.
You´re the man - I love this !
Great little rig, I also own the FP and luv it so this is super helpful. I really dig the printed SSD holder, great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Such a clean rig! I must have been living under a rock as hadn't even heard of the FP! That SSD mount is spot on.
Wow what a great video! Totally want to try this out!
Thank you for sharing it. This is brillant. 🙂
That is a beautiful setup.
You are a wizard & a gem 💐
I basically do stills only now but i love these rig videos. They are a rundown but the way they are setup can be customized for any camera
LOVE IT
THAT'S SUPERB
You are the undisputed champion of camera rig builds. 🥊🥇🥊
Never change 😎
FREAKIN AWESOME!!! Footage looks great.
I've spent HOURS tryna decide on what I want my first ever Camera purchase to be, narrowing it down to either the A7IV or FX30 but now you've just put me on to another option. I want this entire setup now, selection headache!!! Love all your content broski.
Nice build! Glad to see you've taken up the rewarding endeavor of designing stuff for others to copy and sell ;)
Sigma FP looks like a fun little cinema camera. Thanks Caleb always loved your rig builds
