I hope you understand how much this video helps young aspiring cinematographers like myself. I don’t even want to add my (very small) critiques because this video is truly a godsend. Great job man, I’m def following a lot of what you did here to build my first rig around my r6m2! 👍🏽
Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching!
Finally some rigging for the r6 mark ii!!
Thank you for making this video and sharing the information, which is really helpful. Keep up the good work!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
This is the exact setup I've been looking for sans matte box. Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Very clear and informative video once again. Thanks so much.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
I was actually looking r6 2 rigging videos yesterday and there was nothing. now there is!
Amazing video Josh! Thank you for showing some rigging options for the R6 and explaining it so nicely.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Perfect timing on this video. I use the battery grip cage for my R5 and it works great. Working on my R6 Mk ii next and going to copy cat some of your ideas. Thanks!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
The best youtuber talking about the Canon R6 mark II :)
Thank you for the kind words!
Ooo snap! That XLR unit from Tascam is tempting
Yeah the XLR hot shoe modules are super handy.
Sooo informative, helped a lot!
Thanks Josh 🤜🤛
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I usually do not comment on videos, but this was just what I needed!!! AMAZING!!!
You're welcome. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
Thank you SO much for this! Finally, I no longer feel intimidated by this next step! I went head and got the SmallRig and Im so impressed by the build quality, especially for the price. Thanks again!
You are very welcome. Glad the video was helpful for you and thanks for watching!
That's a beautiful setup
Thanks!
Great video! Love my MKII and this build. You sound like Ryan Reynolds.
Incredible video. I’m not a videographer, I’m a photographer with the R6 Mk2 and I solely watched this for the ASMR 😂 I found it very entertaining and who knows, maybe I’ll get back into videography and use this setup some day!
The video I was looking for…thank you! 👌
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Nice setup! Thank you
You'e welcome. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video!!
Thanks!
That’s was awesome. Thank you!!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful thanks for sharing
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
I’ve got a plan a rig for the FX3 for a two week shoot with Levi next month. This gave me some great ideas AND a closer look at some better handles and monitor mount. I’ll be sure to snag your links if I purchase anything! Adult Lego - so true!
Nice Matthew! That will be fun to go and shoot with Levi. Glad this video gave you some ideas.
The only major thing missing for me really is a place to mount my external audio recorder to capture the audio coming from the Rode Wireless GO receiver - having that allows me to of course capture that external audio and also to plug in a headphone without attaching it directly to the camera. Using a left and right-hand handle with the cold shoe on top might allow me an open space to mount that external audio recorder
thank you for doing this bro!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great video thanks
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
That xlr module looks sweet. That rig at the end looks like the most useful option for doc style shooting. I hope rode or deity come out with a shotgun mic that can use the multi interface connection.
Yeah the XLR modules are super handy. That would be amazing if they came out with a hot shoe mic like the Sony one.
Canon DM-E1D
Oh right! I totally forgot about that guy. Have you used it before? Like Tyler said though, it would be cool if Rode or Deity came out with one too.
@@antontoss5280 not a great mic. There’s a reason no one is taking about it 😂
Id love to see a XLR module from both Canon, Lumix and Sony that will somehow be more compatible with top handles or at least a top handle similar to the sony but has arri locating pins at the front to mount a monitor lower than the hot shoe mount. Both the Lumix and Tascam XLR modules are great but cumbersome if you want to run a top handle as well! Perhaps they could create a hotshoe cord mount that connects hooks into the hotshoe, then cables over to the XLR module that will allow you to mount the XLR module on some other cold-shoe mount out of the way
This is a really helpful video. I do wish it was more exposed. It was really hard to see the details on the black cage and the battery pack.
Sooo glad ya did a rigging video. Thanks much as always Josh!
Quick questions:
- are there no locating pins on base plate for bottom of R62/Smallrig cage?
- with the strap mounts, still able to utilize the peak design style strap? Or does that mount “fill” the strap loop?
I like keep my cage on (nearly) permanently, guessing you could utilize some of the other smallrig mount holes for PD loop mounts?
Appreciate it!
You're welcome. I don't see any location pins on the bottom of the cage (both where the camera touches it and on the bottom where that arca swiss is). I don't know specifically about the peak design strap, but there are two strap attachment points on the right side of the camera. One at the top and one at the bottom.
Great detailed video, thanks Josh!
SO, there is now the "Black Mamba" Smallrig 4161 which looks "better" from what I can see regarding access to the buttons on the top right of the camera, however, it doesn't have nato rails which are useful for handles as you know (I have the same handles you do already) - Of course you can always add a nato rail, but I really liked the fact this cage you have has nato rail built-in and the screw options all there.
Is there anything else you notice that is different/missing? I like the new profile of the black mamba but don't want to miss out on the features of this cage.
Would really appreciate your thoughts.
Im still using my original R6 cage which fits my mark 2 and also my R5. Love the small rig cages. I kept my A74 cage even though I sold the body. You just never know. I see they keep making small changes to the rigs. I will check out their website see how different you new cage is compared to the older ones.
same here, SmallRig has it figured out for sure. thanks for the info here, this means the R62 cage should fit my R6. having the nato rails and native RS3 fit will be a nice upgrade for my personal workflow 👍
@@kernzilla Hey, have you purchased this mkii rig for your r6? Does it fit?
I read the original R6 cage didn't fit due to the shape of the EVF bump.
@@MckWells not sure. i'm looking to discover the opposite, if R62 cage will fit R6. have read the same tho re: R6 cage not fitting R62 fwiw.
Thank you AMIGO 👍🏻☀️🌋🏝☕📸🌴
You're welcome!
Great video! Thanks a lot... one of the most underrated channels on you tube on my opinion.
What's holding me back for building up rigs is the fact, that I do not know how to transport them. I want to use it, than I want to put it back in my bag and pick it out later again. I didn't find any good carrying solution for this so far... and tips or tricks? :-) Thanks for your great work!
Thank you for the kind words. If you are just traveling locally, you can use something like this:
bhpho.to/3YxGUCK
There are a few companies that make doctor bags. Make sure you measure your rig and find one that has enough height.
@@Josh_Sattin Interesting... thanks for your reply. I will double check if something like this is available over here in Germany... BR :-)
Thank you for this video. Mine point of view on rigging (especially R6MKII) is - be careful. When buying Ninja V + HDD + XLR handle + battery will shoot your budget to C70 level, which is better cine camera...
Thanks for the very detailed video, have you tried the Smallrig with the meike drop in filter adaptor? It looks like it may be difficult to change the filter with the rig on.
Gonna buy some stuff from your links to help support your channel! 🎉
I really appreciate that. Thank you for the support!
Do you find it hard to change your lens with the SmallRig cage?
mine is one the delivery truck right now!
Nice! Enjoy!
Great video thank you! I tried mounting an atmos on my r6 mark 2 but couldn't figure out how to retain control of the back of the camera screen so I could control focus
You're welcome. There are some limitations when connected an external monitor. I cover that around 15:30 in this video: th-cam.com/video/2xqub_NF14Q/w-d-xo.html
Is there a way to use the Tascam and top handle? Incredible video. Love all the R6MII videos, so good.
Thank you. Not that I know of. They would occupy the same space above the camera.
Basically gonna do this rig but with a r5
Great Video! Did you choose the R6ii over your c70 and r5c? would be interesting to hear why
Thanks! I am often buying and selling cameras to test and review. My camera needs are very different than most people. So, I wouldn't say that I chose the R6II over the C70 and R5C. They have different uses.
Part way through the video so far. It's interesting to see how you rigged it compared to what I've done so far. Occurred to me to ask the question - Did Atmos ever come out with the update to handle raw video on R6M2? Have you tested it if they have?
Back to watching! :)
Atomos has not released that firmware yet.
Very nice and helpful video, thank you very much, but goddamn this thing hella expensive
Nice job, very thorough. I ordered my 4159 cage directly from Small Rig last week. The website says they will start shipping Feb 28. Sitting on my hands until then. How much of a problem is the Ninja V+ fan when using a shotgun mic on the top of the handle?
Thank you! It depends on what and where you are shooting.
What cable do you recommend for connecting the camera to the Video Input of the Ninja V? Also, can the usb input on the camera be connected to the battery's usb output to power the camera?
Hey Josh!
Do you find yourself not using IBIS because of the warp/wobble issue?
How are you using the rode mic on the left side handle? I feel like all you would hear is the Ninja trying to blast off?
Thank you josh for such a required video
I am using canon rp as i have already invested in canon lenses i shoot weddings and music videos will the r6 mark 2 be a good purchase please advice
You're welcome. The transition from RP to R6 II will be easy for you because of the lenses. What do you need that you don't have in the RP? Are those features in the R6 II?
@@Josh_Sattin thank you for replying back
dynamic range , 4k 60 10 bit , c log , and fps for weddings
Very informative. I currently am using the Rode video Mic pro on camera with the R6 MK II. When I can I will use the Zoom H4N. What audio advantages or benefits would I hear with using the NTG5 and the Tascam XLR mount? Most of my shoots are Multicam with 2-3 cameras. I match the Audio between the Rode Video Mic and the Zoom and use the Zoom audio in the FCPX audio track. Any suggestions or answers are appreciated.
If you are running the NTG5 into the H4N, I would assume the quality would be similar to running the NTG5 into the Tascam unit. The benefits of using the Tascam unit instead of an external recorder is that you don't need to sync the audio in post as the audio will already be incorporated into the video file.
Can you rig the Zoom H6 into a R6 MII setup? Or is it simply too big?
Thank you for the very helpful video. One question: what cable do you need to connect the SmallRig VB99 battery to the Atomos? Is that cable included with the battery if I order it?

A+ Frankenrig
If using this cage, can it use the pin strap from peak design? lately i am using r6 and cage for r6 (smallrig black mamba) it can use the pin strap.
Thanks Josh for all this info you’re sharing. It’s all very helpful. I was ready to upgrade to this camera but I just heard that camera’s LCD shuts off when you attach external monitor. Is this true??? If yes, how do you change focus point while recording? I’m really confused about this. Thanks in advance.
There are some quirky settings in Canon mirrorless cameras for how they handle HDMI out. I go over that in this video: th-cam.com/video/2xqub_NF14Q/w-d-xo.html
@@Josh_Sattin Thanks again
Can this camera compete with the Sony fx3?
hi! thanks for this video, i´m wondering about using ssd for storage, can they be pluggled directly to the usb port on the R6 mkii? thanks.
You're welcome. No, you can't record directly to a SSD via the USB port on the R6II.
I want to buy this to take pictures. Am I wrong?
Hello, great presentation. I have the GH-6, and am very interested in YOUR VMOUNT BAT. idea to power the cam and the NINJA. At present, I have and INDIRO PRO PD-95S 14.8V, 6.6AH, 95WH. R/U familiar with this BAT, ? Is the SMALL RIG VB99, in the same category? . what's your opinion?
Thank you. I am not familiar with that battery.
Will this work on a gimble. For instance Ronin RSC2
canon r6ii can't recording in the camera when i used external monitor can I get updates for that reason
can you explain how to set up the ntg5 with the tascam ? how much gain do use? and which level in the camera for the mic?
th-cam.com/video/wFzP6iFXROM/w-d-xo.html
Does it also work with r6?
Hi Josh, I'm trying to find a solution to secure USB C and HDMI port in R6 II. Shooting on a long usb c cable without port protection it is certain that the ports will be damaged quickly. I am looking for the smallest possible secure, Tilta Half Camera Cage TA-T32-FCC-B seems to be optimal but it is stil half cage just to protect ports... Have you come across something small and effective? Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Probably something like this that attaches to a cage: amzn.to/47eHIln
Does the smallrig cage come with a cold shoe that I can attach right in front of the camera's hot shoe? I want to connect my speedlight right in front of the canon hot shoe but on the smallrig. I will use the side cold shoe mount for my microphone.
The cage doesn't come with an extra cold shoe but they are pretty expensive and can be mounted in a lot of spots: amzn.to/3IoQnGd
Do you have a video with the átomos ninja v and canon r6 mark II setup? Thanks in advance
I go over that in my advanced user guide: th-cam.com/video/xmIl1GiSNyU/w-d-xo.html
What micro hdmi cable would you suggest in order to record 6k raw? Thanks!
I don't have a recommendation at the moment. The external 6K raw feature isn't available yet as there is no updated firmware for the Atomos Ninja V and V+ to support it.
Do you have issues shooting Clog3 using that monitor? I have the shinobi and the colours are all messed up.
Yeah Clog3 and external monitors don't play nicely. It's been an issue with other cameras too.
can we get updated alternatives to the handles and some of these items, they are no longer available!
Can you install the same setup without the external screen (meaning using the camera screen)?
Yes, you can slide the V mount holder backwards to rotate the screen out and then slide the V mount back towards the camera.
Can you use the monitor effectively on the r6ii. On the r6 is disabled touch
The Canon mirrorless cameras are pretty funky when it comes do using the HDMI output. I explain that in this video: studio.th-cam.com/users/video2xqub_NF14Q/edit
My R6 Mark II overheats when shooting in 60fps 4K.
Do you think the overheating is mitigated when powered by the vmount?
I don't think it will help when using USB-C PD. It might help a little bit when using a dummy battery, but I'm not sure it would be significant. I haven't done the tests on it though.
I have been curious if that Tascam would be compatible with the R6ii. I'd like to avoid using a cable and just use the hotshoe.
Yes. It works great with the R6 II.
Would you say this camera is a substantial upgrade from the R for shooting video?
Yes! Huge improvement!
If I wanted to use the Smallrig Wooden Top Handle on my R6 Cage... Would I be able to do that??
If it has a nato rail attachment or Arri locating pins it should work.
@@Josh_Sattin Thank You
Does Smallrig make an HDMI port protector? I’m thinking about a similar set up for my R7 but last I checked there was no port protector.
Unfortunately I don't see one being available at the moment for the R6 II. I will inquire about it though.
@@Josh_Sattin - Small Rig confirmed to me that the one from the R6 works with the R6 MK II cage.
My contact at Smallrig says that this one will work. I obviously haven't tried it personally though.
www.amazon.com/dp/B08PFHGJX2?ref=myi_title_dp
I have one from Smallrig on my Smallrig cage for the R6M2. Works well. Search their site and you will find it. If not reply to this comment and I will try to find the link from when I bought it.
How do you power your tascam?
The camera powers it through the hot shoe.
Thing is with the R6ii how you using a monitor? Should do a video on the settings. All I get is "NO CARD RECORDING WITH CLEAN HDMI OUT CONNNECTED" not sure wtf is going on
can you output 6K raw with atomos V?
th-cam.com/video/KLZ1-_4_JOU/w-d-xo.html
And this R6 MkII rig doesn't fit the original R6 right? Because it looks much better than the original R6 mounts that Smallrig offers.
just wondering why your not showcasing the Ninja video recording with this setup you say your recording to SD cards
I was just using the Ninja V here to demonstrate using a monitor because I own one. It could be any monitor.
The link to the cage is broken.
Are you Andrew Huberman in hiding? I can't unsee it now
