- Building a cinema professional rig for the Canon M50 should be cheap. It's a great for vlogs but can also be used for semi pro work...if you rig it right.
After seeing some funny, odd and poorly built rigs in my recommended videos, I decided to show mine.
The rigs I saw were poorly executed and would have people spending unnecessary money on a beginner camera that can't possibly benefit from the additions...they would only APPEAR expensive.
this is a rig that can be constructed or torn down with no tools for quick adaptation depending on scenario.

that is one m50 beast dammm
😁🙌🏾🙌🏾
Awesome video man. Full of great information. Thank you
Thank you Jose. I'm glad you found it useful.
Most practical rig for m50
I think so too 👍🏾👍🏾
First video of yours I have seen and I’m now a subscriber. I have watched hundreds of videos on rigs for the M50 (All from across the pond), and this is the first truly reasonable and realistic rig for this body. I will be using this video to create my shopping list 👍
Also fantastic to see another Brit, especially one doing a brilliant job.
Cheers 👍
Ahhh bro, thank you soooo much, I really appreciate your kind words.
Yes I too watched a lot of videos when I got my first mirror less Inc my M50 and felt let down.
I look back at some of my older rigs which I got tips from TH-cam and realise how disproportionate they look.
Then people are using items which you know for a fact are for their bigger cinema rigs and they wouldn't use an M50 that way.
Thanks again for the sub 🙌🏾
Exactly, thaaanks 👏🏽
Excellent job 👍 great to see a good common sense approach to an M50 rig
too many rig videos feature crazy expense and such top heavy rigs that they are useless in everyday shoots I have no idea how they balance them
your viewfinder idea is genius 👌
Thank you👍🏾👍🏾. Yes I agree that people make far too expensive rigs. I assume it's more affiliate money but I'm not sure.
This man is a effin’ legend. Good Work!
Thanks bro 😁🙌🏾
I feel like I'm being scolded which was amazing.
🤣🤣 sorry
Dude your videos are always fire. Simple. Very well explained. Nothing fancy. Just good solid information that's easily retained. Love it mate. Thanks for your work.
Ahhh that's so good to hear man. Thank you so much.
Hello how much coming price
Already have a Smallrig cage and top handle. I love the magnetic teardrop screw tool thats magnetized in a nook at the bottom of the cage. Definitely more expensive, but trick little feature...
Yeah I like the magnetic tool section too. I'm starting to see it on cheap cages too.
This setup is genius
😁🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@Altcine I would love to get those joints you used for the monitor and the light I can't find them in the description is.you.could help with the name

@@Altcine thank you very much sir
Bro your a legend, best m50 rig out there. Absolute legend
Thanks man 😁
You can also see the video review rig & top handle for the m50 on my channel, here : th-cam.com/video/IqsKeKJQv_c/w-d-xo.html
Thank you 🙏🏻
Still the best m50 rig on youtube you could show up to a paid gig no problem with this
Why thank you 😀 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Fancy!!! It looks so G - Double O - D! Good!
Thank you 😁
Epic. Just epic. Got a sub for me fo sho. Also, remind me what the US Dollar equiv is for a “quid”. 😂
Haha with the economy bouncing around like crazy I have no idea 🤣 and thank you for the sub, really appreciate it 🙌🏾
I was kind of excited until I realized that the GBP is like 2x CAD :-). Same rig in Canada $500+.. someday maybe...
Ahhhh of course 😔 worse thing is, the prices are going up here. When I purchased this stuff it was actually under £200 and the gear isn't even that old...oldest part maybe 6 months.
Imagine my shock when I had to recalculate for this video 😮.
£250 is still extremely cheap tbh but yes, we have to take into account the strength of the currency we live in.
Hopefully they start accepting cryptocurrency soon lol
I just scooped up this camera to improve quality on my channel, you made it look so damn professional. Thanks for the content my friend!!
No probs man, it's an amazing camera, capable of much better things than people think.
Perfect inspiration, thank you!! 👍🤩👊
👍🏾👍🏾😁
Does the Uurig top handle fit on the smallrig cage too?
Yes it fits 100%
I didn't understand the thing with the SmallRig battery plate which you mentioned. You said NP-F plate for Sony. But to my understanding it is not using LPE12 batteries.
So, do I need to buy different batteries which matches the external battery plate/charger?
Yeah the smallrig npf plate uses Sony NP batteries. They are really cheap and the neewer ones I have are still going strong over a year later
Best m50 rig I've seen. So well thought out - top job!
Thank you 😁
Absolutely fantastic content, incredibly helpful! A few questions: 1. Could you not just plug the dummy battery dc cable directly into the monitor? So you could draw power from the monitor battery instead of having two batteries on the rig? 2. In other videos you're using power banks, how come you chose an npf mount in this one? FINALLY 3. I have the EOS M, would I have to mod this cage slightly for this rig to work on it? REALLY appreciate your help. Thank you very much.
AJ
Hi Aj, I think we've spoken already but I'll answer just in case.
You could use a cable from the monitor but my monitor is power input only.
You can use an M50 cage on the m without any mods.
I just found using npf better because they're smaller. I think the power bank option is still valid if you're on a tripod all day but this is more run n gun.
Great video, thank you.
Thanks man 🙌🏾
Hi. Whilst a great informative video on what to get for a canon M50 and the rig, You have thrown me a little by not suggestion the equivalent Camvate handle for the Smallrig case I got for my M50. I only seen your video after I bought my smallrig case, so knowing the appropriate handle would be great.
Hey thanks man. This is the handle with the easy to detach handle www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164791008068
Make sure you choose the correct side right or left 👍🏾
Hello, and thank you! Is it possible to atach the monitor directl'y to hot shoe?
Hi and thanks for watching. Yes it's possible.
Great video! I was looking for something like this for my business so my wife can use. I know this sounds dumb but, I am getting an Canon EOS R6 which is obviously better for video than the M50, BUT I’m using it only for photos when I shoot weddings because of its amazing capability to shoot in low light conditions being able to shoot at high iso without grain THEREFORE I’m gonna be having my wife do video with the Canon M50 and this setup is perfect for her, which is another reason why I LOVE the M50 because of its size and weight and it’s perfect for her little hands lol. Thank you bro!
Hey brother. That doesn't sound stupid at all. It's best to get something you're happy with and even though you may not be focused on video...it's always best to be prepared.
I agree with you that the M50 is a great all-rounder and can do a lot for normal vlogging to wedding shots if you pair it with a quality lens.
I'm glad this video helped😁 it's a small neat package that looks good, can have you running for long shoots and won't break the bank.
@@Altcine Exactly anything with the M50 is budget friendly and that’s what I love, especially starting off. And no problem gonna keep watching your vids!
Nice build. How do you carry your rig around when you're traveling? Do you tear it down each time you're going on trips or do you have a super large case to stuff this camera rig into?
Yeah usually just tear stuff down, that's why I try to keep it as simple as possible.
The main thing I ask myself these days is "can it be loosened and tightened by hand?" If not then I usually avoid.
@@Altcine Thanks. I'm doing my 1st video with M50 M2 today. I don't have all the nice features you added to your camera but will see how it performs out of the box. wish me luck. 👍🏽🙂
I'm gonna paint my woodgrain handle red
That will look nice against the black 🙌🏾
Thanks man! Love your videos! The link of the eyepiece is not unavailable
Thank you bro. I'll have to go through a couple of these rig videos an update the links. I'll try get round to it next week.
@@Altcine thx!!
Bruv thanks. Ive seen other rigs cost like 600-800 dollars for the same functionality. You saved me a lot of money.
No probs man. It's crazy how much people are spending.
Thank you for the great video tutorial. I have a question though. I ordered the coiled LP-E12 cable. It fits into the dummy battery but the other end is to small to enter the battery plate you recommend. Where can I find the cable that will fit both ends? I tried Ali Express, e-bay and Amazon with no luck.
Do you have a specific cable number?
Thanks in advance.
No probs, glad to be of service.
I know there are different DC jack sizes but I would have thought they would be standard for this cable for any npf plate.
Here's the exact one I bought from AliExpress
￡4.54 2%OFF | 5525 to PS700 8V Power DC Cable + LP-E12 Battery Connector DR-E12 DC Coupler for Canon EOS M M2 M10 M50 Digital Cameras
a.aliexpress.com/_mOnAN4C
@@Altcine Thank you very much.
I resolved the coiled cable problem, thanks. I also ordered and received the Eyoyo 5" monitor but the monitor I received, has all connections behind. I see your monitor with the battery has the HDMI connector on the side. Is mine a different model?? Do I need to get another special battery plate to install behind the monitor? Please help.
What's the run time while using NPF batteries?
Aabout an hour?
Lol this dude knows how to customize his equipment
😁👍🏾🙌🏾
Well not really because he forgot the essential part the nd filter
Did you run into any issues with the npf battery and the coupler? Any noise issues or power problems. I noticed this one doesn't have a power regulator on it.
Hi, no I can't remember any noise issues and definitely no power issues.
I've moved on to the more slimline smallrig plate now ( the one with power indicator) and it's definitely worth the upgrade at £23 and I'd recommend it over this one.
@@Altcine thanks!
hmmm very clean build compared to the others ive see very nice
Respect brother 💪🏾
What lens is the camera on? Wow !! You made my imagination fly ... Thank you good job, Congratulations Master !!
Hi, that's the canon 17-35L. It was later replaced by the 16-35.
It's a great lens on a crop sensor camera.
Thank you for watching and hope you got some ideas 😉
Im in the market for an M50 and was looking to customise a rig for it for outdoor on the move filming, this is awesome! What lens would you recommend for indoor studio vlogging and outdoor filming?
Cool man, M50 is a great all round camera. I guess the lens depends on the budget.
Another factor is how much room do you have in your recording space.
Normally I wouldn't recommend efs lenses but for outside daytime the 10-18efs is fantastic. It's sharp, wide and has image stabilisation. Bit dark at f3.5 but great for day or if you invest in lights.
Also get a 50mm STM if you have room in your home. At 1.8 it's fast, can give a high end look and it's cheap. No stabilisation but great on a tripod.
You may have noticed I'm talking EF & ef-s lenses so you'll need an adaptor. Personally I'm not a fan of m series lenses. They are expensive, ok in quality but can't be used on any other camera.
If you go native and you have the cash, look at the sigma line of ef-m lenses... gorgeous.
@@Altcine Thanks so much dude, ive checked out Cruisn Canadas review on the 10-18 efs and wow you were totally on the money, it looks amazing in daylight and exactly what im after. Whats the best way to keep the camera steady whilst moving about outside, do you think i would need anything to assist with that?
The room we will be using is just over 148sq feet.
Yeah it's a great lens. I used it on a trip to Switzerland and fov was nice on a crop sensor.
Keeping steady is practice and a stabilised lens. Also helps if you add weight to the camera such as a cage and put a strap round your neck.
Walking may still be jerky so only a gimbal can really help. But saying that you may want to keep it light so just the camera, adapter, lens and practice.
@@Altcine Top man!👌 I'll give you a break now haha.
🤣🤣🙌🏾
Hello, can you send me a link for the UURIG cage for the M50. I couldn't find one.
Hey, I'm pretty sure it's been discontinued now. It's mostly unbranded ones
@@Altcine Thank you very much
Wicked!
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Got that 1k like! 🎉 Let’s GO!! 🤣 Solid setup. Thanks for the rundown.
My man. BANGIN OUT this setup, links and all.
😁🙌🏾🙌🏾
You can also consider some battery grips or evey a battery add-on for UUrig / SmallRig Cage from Custom Battery Grips - works perfectly, and the battery life is extreme.
Thanks man. I actually built my own battery grip a while back but dismantled it when I sold the smallrig handle. I really should have made a video on that.
Man I know that you've recently sent this camera but I just wanted to know if there is a way to external record with this cam or theres is any way to pass the 30 mins recording limit?
Hi, unfortunately there isn't...well there is but it will be low quality.
You'd use a hdmi out to a monitor that can record externally but the hdmi out is very low resolution.
And no way to bypass that 30min limit. If magic lantern ever comes then it'll be possible but not right now 😔
@@Altcine thank you very much I guess I'll find another work around for clients video now I see why you kept the tiny eso m little beast
@@MrVjfelix yeah it's a shame because the M50 is such a great camera.
I'd definitely still recommend it but it just depends on your needs.
why the underexposed video?
No idea 🤣🤣
Hey mate where did you get the music track...For the love ofmoney
I think I searched TH-cam for a cover version to try get around the copyright 😅
Dude, your delivery is scattered. Streamlining and concise is better.
Yeah old video but truth is....it's still scattered but I'm not that bothered 😅 there's still good information in these videos
Side handle is INVERTED. Defeats the purpose of the handle grooves.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Nope, I actually thought about this very hard! I bought a right side handle so I could flip and reverse it to use on most other cameras that I have.
Obviously the finger grip is still in the right place, it's only the top thumb grip that's now at the bottom which isn't a big deal.
There is something strange about the video. Your top handle has 2 pins on the side,
but you can't put it in an M50 cage. The cage and link cage in your video are different.
There is no small hole on the side when inserting the top handle.
After all, there are no small holes in my M50 cage. Why is the cage in your video different?
Depends which brand you bought. The arri locating pins are definitely on UURIG & smallrig.
Ohhhh yes I see what you mean. Definitely find one with arri locating pins if you want this type of handle, thanks for spotting that.
I like it, thanks I’m gona set mine up the same, what’s the battery life like on that set up?? How many hours you got
Thanks. That's a 2200mah battery so it's about 3 X Lpe12. Runs for hours but I've never run one down fully.
Please, where can I buy the added viewfinder with shell?
Cant seem to get any of the links to the products to work :(
Very useful.
I like how the video is focused on the camera instead of a talking head.
Thank you 🙌🏾 yes it's all about the camera and not me 👍🏾👍🏾
I have a question. Smallrig has a batteryplate for npf batteries available. I think it´s the model nr.: 2504, it has a 7.4 V output. Would it be possible, to power my m50 with this batteryplate? thx for help.
Funny enough it's the 7.4 volts I've been using all these years. Mine didn't come with any stickers...I think it was a knock-off so just believed what the listing said.
It's only when I plugged it into my bmpcc4k that I realised it was 7.4 volts and not enough power for bmpcc4k.
On my eos-m, M50, bmpcc etc 7.4 volts worrked fine and I used it for years.
@@Altcine thx for replying. God Bless you :)
What lens is that?
Really old canon 17-35L. Not really around anymore and not great reviews for full frame but on apsc it was perfect.
Reminder for myself when its time to upgrade my M50 set up!
😁👍🏾👍🏾
That intro tho lol
🤣🤣 cringe
Nice vid...thx for sharing.....very well thought out design.....
Thank you and glad you liked it 😁
You haven't had any problems with big lenses and the connection between camera and rig? I know the recommendation is as soon as you use the adapter, you should use the threads in that, since the ones in the camera arent as stable.
No problem for me. Tbh the these lenses aren't that heavy compared to something like a sigma 18-35.
I'd be worried about using something like that.
@@Altcine That is the one I use :)
😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amazing setup. Why no video samples?
Thank you, this was more about the build. I did do a video which was purely footage though th-cam.com/video/AzYlaP6T_9s/w-d-xo.html
Nicely assembled and reasonably cheap.
Thanks man and yes cheap 🙌🏾
Ledg
🙌🏾🙌🏾
As a fellow M50 rig owner let me suggest one thing; Nato rails. No more messing around with coins.
Yes NATO is definitely the best but the nato rail is on the right side where you already have a handle.
I think it's a waste to have 2 handles on the same side...don't you think?
Ps, I did say and link the handle you can fasten by hand.
@@Altcine you can add small NATO rails to the cage at various points and make it a true quick release system. Of course, that would necessitate all new NATO compatible gear! Keep up the good work!
Well u forgot the nd filter
If you want a good budget vnd then zomei do fantastic quality for dirt cheap 😁
@@Altcine thank you 😊
I like it. Good job and great explanation.
Thank you 🙌🏾
That’s Epic bro! Thanks so much for this video!
No probs, thanks for watching 😁🙌🏾
My dude, this is probably the 5th time I watch your video. Inspiring stuff and lots to take on board. I've got myself an M6 mkii and its an exciting new journey for me with all these rigs and clamps and caps.
Does magic lantern support the M50??
Still Cinematic no and I’m afraid to say it’s unlikely to happen 😞
Wow my guy, I was looking for a cage for the M50. I now think I've found it. Great tutorial 👌
Respect brother 🙌🏾
@@Altcine Huge Question...how do you monitor the audio with no headphone jack on the M50?
Nice rig, it would be nice to have a follow focus system too
Cheers. It could be done in a few ways but the best way would include rails.
thanks for diving right in and giving us some great info.
No probs and thanks for watching mate
i have no clue on video cameras or in cameras in general however, i have to agree on a lot of people here that you are a damn LEGEND. Amazing fantastic video presentation and lots of fantastic information that i was looking for all in one video. My hats to you sir. This is my first video i've seen from you. i do have one comment, to use a better mic. Thanks for sharing. Good luck !!!
Thank you my friend, much appreciated 😁. Yes I agree, I need to stop being lazy when recording and do a proper setup.
I actually have quite a few mics so there's no excuse lol
@@Altcine i figured that. Hahahah. Good one. Overal was fantastic . 👏 👍 👌 👍
i recently ordered the m50. I know a lot of people do complain about the battery issue however, with this battery hack it's much better and more efficient to go this route. Take care.
@@jeff15 tbh, I don't find the battery that bad. It's only in special circumstances you'd need all this extra power but most times I'd be out with a handful of standard batteries.
@@Altcine is it ok to buy 3rd party battery or i should use brand name ones ?.
@@jeff15 I've got loads of random named batteries and they work well and for a long time but most people recommend wasabi
without even realising it ive built more or less the same rig! strange! only difference it that i use a usb battery rather than the npf.
Nice 👍🏾 any chance I can have a look? I used to usb also.
@@Altcine yeah ill post on facebook one my new top handle arrives. ordered the urig for extra shoes.
Great video! Very helpful
Thank you 😁
that looks sick :)
Thanks! I am now building a similar rig now. Great Job!
Heck this is best m50 rig i've seen on TH-cam, Great job on it
do you know any mics with built in recorder
Bro thank you for this comment, it's a ghost town 🤣. Only external recorders like zoom as far as I know.
@@Altcine bought a gx80 recently and was wondering, there was one Tascam DR-10SG thats the only one i know but was lookign for a more cheaper option😂😂 anyone who does know feel free to let me know.
The best!!!!
😁🙌🏾
Opening shot was criss!
what you know bout criss...lol
Great set up mate
Thank you 😁
waiting for eos m rig)) need your advice
Coming soon. Anything I can help you with right now?
I'll wait till it's released, then will give questions if I have any!
thanks for the inspiration
@@MrStLime no probs. My rig is verrry basic now though. I also hesitated in releasing it because I found the perfect cheap cage but had to mod it slightly for it to fit.
I'll still make it though.
got it. well, I basically don't want to have a huge set up, and that's why cosidering a bigger battery (2350mAh). How many hours do you think it might work? because again I want to have rig that will be easy to through in a bag
@@MrStLime yes I agree and exactly why I stripped mine down.
The mah you stated is 3 X the normal battery size so if your screen brightness is 50% then I reckon you're good for more than 3 hours. In real world use that'll probably be a couple days if you're recording short clips here and there.
I'm trying a few different ideas at the moment and one of them includes using a field monitor that can be had for under £20
As soon as I receive this final part the video will come.
what lens is that
This is an old Canon Lens 17-35 L with a constant f2.8
It's an ok lens and images come out reasonably sharp.
