This is the cleanest rig I've ever seen.
Right
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you sir
@@RyanKao can you comment more on the battery life of the monitor? I'm really interested in it and would like to know average times you get with the NPFs! Great video btw!
BMPCC gang ✌🏼 Love how simple your rig is dude. Has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Well done man!!
Ayooo BMPCC rig checkkk 😤 thanks man! So happy with how well it fits into my workflow
And now Blackmagic released the 6k PRO
Yep, pretty annoyed by that. It was a month after i got the 6k that the 6k pro was released.
Solid Rig! I'm always a huge fan of BMPCC content!
My man! Much love bro
This is the video I've been looking for! I picked up a BMPCC 6K in January. To say that I've been intimidated is an understatement. What a great rig, Ryan. Thank you for hipping me to the Portkeys monitor. It'll be a game-changer!
So glad it helped Adam!! Thanks man
I just loved watching you assemble everything! Such a satisfying feeling hearing all these clicks while locking everything in place. Even though there are quite a few things attached to the camera you really managed to build a well organized rig. Good job man 🙏🏻🔥
Thank you so much Bobby. Glad you enjoyed!
Black magic makes such a solid product. I haven't put my hands on one but it seems like the majority of people that make videos on them love them. Thanks for this video sir!
Thanks for watching Chase!
BEST BLACK MAGIC RIG EVER!!!! Toying with purchasing the BMPC 4K with the new Mac mini M1 setup. For now using the Canon 90D and Sigma lens 18-35mm etc. for I may rig that out for now to see how I get on. Thanks Ryan.
Thanks for watching!!
The only problem I have with the black magic cameras is that when is out of warranty there’s no parts for it so you literally have to get a new camera. When it decides not the power on anymore. Black magic does not make any replacement parts for any of the cameras
So? Just send it to them and they'll fix it themselves.
When it's out of warranty, you can still send it in for repair. I cracked my screen and they fixed it for a very reasonable price. My friend fried his HDMI port and they also fixed his outside of warranty.
yezziirrr, I love slow tools, it teaches content creators to step into a cinematographers shoes. I went through the same thing, I love the image for the price and that mini matte box does dummy good work and portkeys makes fire monitors
My new 6k pro rig is taking shape. Gone down the small rig route. Just need the bm5 monitor niow for accesd to the camera
"Many people think that these are just for show" - proceeds to use circular filters, effectively making the matte box "just for show"
Not saying matte boxes are just for show, but this one definitely is.
Matteboxes are great to help with flares, even if you're not using mattes.
@@jacksongary Sure, but the sigma 18-35 comes with a lens hood (like every zoom lens) which is far more effective than the matte box at blocking flares in situations like this, because it was designed specifically with that lens's image circle in mind.
Also, all his clips show him shooting outside. It's easy to predict what direction the light is coming from, because it's always coming from the sun, so if you reeeaaally don't want flares then don't shoot towards the sun, otherwise you're going to get flares regardless of what type of matte box or lens hood you're using. There's no situation where adjusting the top flag will help him with flares more than the lens hood that comes with the lens.
As far as blocking light goes, matte boxes are most useful in situations where you have lots of different light sources, and no time/ability to control them. Example: shooting a narrative indoors. Space/time limitations might make throwing a side flag on the camera faster/better looking than panning a light or blocking out a window.
Bottom line:
Filters? Lighting your production? Lens kit? Matte box.
Screw on filters? Filming in sunlight with no modifiers? Photography zoom lens? No matte box.
This matte box is pure fluff. Same with the wireless follow focus. In a professional environment; if a production doesn't require a piece of gear to be on the camera, it will not be on the camera. Simple as that.
Source: Professional cam op and cam assist, I've used plenty of matte boxes with plenty of DPs in plenty of different lighting situations.
I've used Sony for as long as I can remember and last year I had to film a documentary with the Pocket 4K. It surely is a different beast and comes with its limitations, but the picture it produces, oh man, it's incredible. I probably won't just to BM anytime soon, and I'm gonna stick with Sony, but for story driven content, the Pocket brings out the best of most cinematographers in my opinion. Great video, Ryan! Keep them coming!
Interesting. I’ll check that one out too. Does the camera give the videos that movie look it is that fine in editing software like devinci relative or
@@Suave26 it sure does, if you know how to use it. A speedbooster and a Sigma 18-35 makes it look insane.
You’re 100% right. Very different cameras, but they both shine. Thanks a ton Svetlin!
@@RyanKao Right on! You're welcome, man! :)
Love from Kenya, Africa...Ryan i never miss any of your vids!! amazing content you got
Thanks so much man!
Some people say it doesn't do well in low light but, the camera does if you use the false color and shoot at 1250 iso. At least for me. At 1250 I have been able to record footage at night with little to no noise. Though this is with the pocket 4k, I'd imagine the 6k can do the same if not better.
It's so satisfying using the velcro ties. Good stuff
super valuable video for someone, who is slowly looking to get into cinema camera + riggs
Love that setup man! I’ve been tempted to get this camera but am hesitant because I have a feeling BlackMagic will release a successor soonish. I hope!
BRO PUT HIMSELF IN A MOVIE🤯that’s cool af
Oh yes, nice rig ! I'm on the GH5, I'm think a lot to get the bmpcc 4k or 6k. Happy to know more about your experience with this camera !
Thank you!
The most satisfying part of that rig : all that gosh darn sexy & clean cable management 👌
That was the goal! Haha I'm glad you enjoyed.
My goals for this year baby
Love the continuation from the last video 👌 U are so creative! Keep it up! 🙏
Thanks again! 🖤
Thanks for sharingthis great setup!!! Great video!!!
Thank you!!
Did he just say "blocking lens flares"?!
*JJ Abrams enters the chat*
Rig looks awesome honestly. Can't make my mind up whether I'll invest in this as my next upgrade or to go with a Sony A1/A7S/FX6 setup.... SO MANY OPTIONS 😫
LMAOO
I'm asking myself the same lmao. Idk what i need for high quality travel videos
You are filming in my back yard at Canon Beach...love it bro
Satisfying 9.52 minutes of life!
🖤🖤
I find that the BMPCC 6K works perfectly with canon lenses. I use the canon 24-105mm lens
I would've never noticed that bread tie if you hadn't pointed it out haha :)
Even after you pointed it out the first time I had to rewind twice to try to figure out what you were talking about lol
An ooof on my part lol, thanks David!
@@RyanKao It was a funny addition to the video though, it definitely added more than took away
You can also flip de direction the Nucleus Nano focuses, using the hand wheel, there is an option in the menu. So it does not matter how you mount the focus motor.
Ahhhh. Okay that makes sense lol. I was like there HAS to be a way to do this
@@RyanKao haha, yes! Just press and hold one of the arrows to get in the menu and you'll find it. :)
yes!!! I was waiting for this video after the sunset video u did on December
Yoo thanks Joseph!!
Nice set up dude. Btw, with the nucleus, you can switch the focus direction through the menu so you don’t have to physically move the whole thing
this made me so happy man 🥺 I've been at a across roads lately between the BMPCC 6k and the A7III, I didn't know which to pick then you came along smh, now I really want it, but.... no photos 😭
A7III army will miss you.
BMPCC6K murders the a7iii. Isn't even close in terms of image quality. Different galaxy
@@dna8269 But you lose af, battery life, tilt screen, ibis, stills, and general reliability. For a fast event like a wedding bmpcc is a no go in most cases.
@@arealgoodJoe True but still weddings only applies to a fraction of the entire videographer/filmmaker market
@@PhillipSimango Ok, just know that bmpcc cameras are prone to fails and glitch often. Also any part of your rig can fail too, so you better have a backup.
Great video man! Note for anyone considering the matte boxe with an 82mm+ lens: filters will NOT fit inside the matte boxe. Truly awful design by Tilta, but otherwise it's great for lenses like the 18-35
Thanks man!
First time in here! Thanks man. That video was awesome 👏. Big thumb up! I am definitely in LOVE with the image quality that the bmpcc offers. I’ve been using the EOS R for almost 2 year but I wanna change, and..., I don’t really know what to do, but I’m definitely in love (again) with this camera!!! Thanks for your video 🙏
Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed!!
@@RyanKao Man, I loved it!!! Thank YOU!
New sub. Love the flow of this video. Can’t wait to binge on more.
Super clean cable management ! Thanks for good tips and explanation.
Clean setup, my g!
Wow Jackson approves 🥺
Most cinima cameras dont have auto focus. Unless you got the red komodo which does have auto focus but isn't as good as a typical camera. Great rig man i appreciate the the fact thst is really neat.
Thank you man!
I can’t believe how clean your setup is! I’m going to have to rethink my BMPCC 4K setup!
Hey thanks Matthew!
Hands down the best rig I’ve ever seen.
Nikolas, thanks man!
its actually great in lowlight, you can use 400 and 1250 iso at pretty much no noise
I got the 6k pro a month ago, and boy oh boy, the control of the color in Davinci is incredible!
I'm glad to see you're not powering your camera and monitor with the same battery, so many bmpcc4/6k users do that and burn out their hdmi port.
Love your work, keep up ❤️.
Much love Jamelah!!
Very clean presentation. Nicely done
i liked your video to a specific point, good mellow vibe and all, im glad you got into the Blackmagic Camera World, but in the last 2 Minutes you actually made 3 critical errors, that should be corrected, at least in the comments. I understand you are new to the camera, so its natural to make some mistakes. 1. Its not an insane camera in low light... its actually a pretty fantastic Camera, especially in low light, using the dual Iso setup to its fullest. 2. You have to get your exposure correct in camera - nope, thats actually what braw is for, and you can change it later in the edit if you did not hit it correctly. 3. This cant take photos, technically. Well, especially the 6K shoots incredible looking 21,2 Megapixel DNGs... its also a very good photo camera. Hope you enjoy the cam.
Hey man, really appreciate the feedback! I’m glad you at least enjoyed the video for a bit. Regarding some of your thoughts; In terms of low light, you are right. It’s certainly decent. The dual native ISO does give you good flexibility, however it’s no “fool proof” low light capability that many mirrorless cameras have which many of us are used to shooting on. I’m referring to 6400-12800+. Exposure with this camera is also more tedious as locking down you ISO ranges and best understanding how the camera handles in terms of highlight and shadow detail recovery for the given lighting situation is important. The camera has fairly significant changes in dynamic range, color and noise patterns throughout the ISO ranges. Nailing your lighting in camera, keeping in mind your contrast ratios, all plays a huge role in getting good images out of the camera. And lastly with still, yes. You can take basic stills with the sensor, however it lacks many “stills” capabilities that modern photo cameras have, with regards to autofocus, drive modes, flash sync, shutter speed ranges, etc. So I didn’t mean to say it CANT be a still camera, but it’s certainly not intended for it!
@@RyanKao Looking forward to what your going to create with it :)
Bro love all of your videos 📹 keep grinding!
Thanks so much dude!
@@RyanKao Absolutely 💯 We are grinding ourselves! Best thing we ever did was add a video production component to our existing business!!!
its the simplest ideas that make you go...why didnt i think of this obvious solution that are the best! The tie downs for cable management...i literally have been looping cables around and around stuff trying to make it look neater and then boom...cable ties. duh...thanks
OH and that power supply...genius. I have the c70 and i didnt want to add a vmount that would block usage of the screen but this NPF idea is perfect. it sits low enough where you can still access the screen and i have plenty of those batteries lying around from purchasing for lights and monitors! Now time to spend all my coins on new accessories!
I’m glad you were able to take some tips from this! Thanks for watching. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I loved watching this, I always wanted to rig out my A7sii but I haven't been shooting as much with it to warrant putting one together
When right camera reaches in the right hand 🔥🔥🔥
Ayy thank you!!
@@RyanKao Your absolutely welcome!
Thats sweet Ryan! Great rig
Love this rig and the gear breakdown! Quick question: what cable and attachment are you using for the T5?
Tilta
Pocket 6K Pro just came out, bro!
Saw that! Considering... but I have a lot to think about since I'm mostly satisfied with my current set up!
@@RyanKao Yeah! Your rig is dope anyway, bro. Cheers 🍻
Beautiful rig, I’ve been noticing it in your vids. Cool to hear the breakdown.
Thank you Tucker!
I'm looking into the monitor and some of the other stuff. I have my 6K G2 version rigged out as well some of the same stuff. Small rig cage, two rods, same base plate, I'm using a portable phone charger to power mine overall cost was less than anything else I could find. I do wish I didn't buy the battery grip waste of money. Not that the grip is bad or can add extra battery life but just like all the reviews it makes it too tall, too heavy and only certain cages would work
really nice Video Dude!
This is a great video. Well produced. Would love a camera like this one day.
Thinking about getting the 4K this year. Cool to see another rig for inspiration.
Your rig is Bananas bro... AWESOMENESS!!!!
Thanks!!
Love the video! Really torn apart between the 6k and the a7siii, currently rocking the a7iii and I don't really know yet in which direction I want to go with my videos
Me too! What did you end up getting? I’m leaning towards the 6K pro
Thanks for NOT powering your monitor and camera off of the same off-brand NPF battery and then crying about your monitor shorting out. ;) Also, welcome to Blackmagic. PS: subbed.
Thanks man!!
Amazing video ❤️❤️
Thank you!!
Circular filters on a Matt box. Hmmm I think that’s where I’ll go. It’s so frustrating using/ buying the rectangular ones
Such a clean setup
Thank you William!
Dayum, such a dream setup! it looks so profesh! Nice one
Thanks so much man!
woooow that is clean!
Thanks Saeed!
Cool rig. Do you ever switch lenses on a shoot, though? It must be a pain to quickly switch lenses on that rig. So I guess you're pretty much limited to a zoom lens like your Sigma.
This is a great (also p4k) camera to start with and rig it put slowly. It can grow along with you
I still don't even have half of the required funds to buy a p4k... Someday baby someday
Nice. Your rig corners like it is on rails.
Thanks 👍
I love Blackmagic! however, I film on the Nikon Z6. The RAW files aren't as amazing as Blackmagic, but they still create a great image.
I was considering the C70 but I think I’ll do some more research on this one. Footage looks great and the rig is awesome. Nice work Ryan 👌🏾
Much love Rahiem!
So dope! Gonna have to build this up!
Thanks Eric!!
What is that chest strap setup? Looking for something to gain a bit of stability that doesn't ruin your neck like a neck strap
Like a fire extinguisher, you might not appreciate how much you spent on this until you actually use it, it's "worth" becomes "valuable".
Really nice rig! :D I also want some stuff you are using! Haha!
Yoo glad you enjoyed!
Coming back to this a year later, the real question is… did the bmpcc 6k get some prime shelf space with the A73? Both now looking at the Komodo like… 👀😂
How much time does it take you to rig the bmpck ?? also how do you feel bout it in comparison to the a7siii ??? amazing vid btw
I can build it up in probably 5 minutes or so if I’m unpacking on location! I love it. And honestly the a7siii is just a totally different use case for me. Both amazing in terms of image. I’ll do a comparison soon
i hope to see more video's with and from this beast! Rea;lly hyped
Working on it! Thank you.
what do you think, now in 2023.. I got there 4/3 micro lenes from my Gh 3.. shall I sell the 4/3 micro stuff and save up to a 6k pro or should I fly sell my gh3 house and save my 4/3 micro lenses and get a p K4 and work with it for two to three years?... what do you suggest now in 2023? I also heard reputation that a new full format L mount pocket camera might be coming out.. but , now is now.. what do you think is best to start up, learning on your own, doing street documentary work, acting yourself in front of the camera and learn light, sound and resolve during the coming year? what way to best go to get started? thanks
Nice build Ryan!! I recently picked up the BMPCC 6K. I edit in Premier and downloaded the plugin for BRAW. I experimented with some BRAW 6K shots and they looked very grainy compared to the pro res 4K. Does editing BRAW in Resolve make a difference compared to Premier?
Raw footages are generally grainier than compressed codec like prores. Editing in Resolve or Premiere would mostly differ in its workflow, not so much on quality. But definitely it is much easier to edit BRAW in Resolve
2k!? Not too bad but not too cheap lol I wan it but I have no experience at all with camera so I need to stet small and work my way up.
It’s a great camera for the money, but not best suited for beginners!
OK, whats your hack with the Tilta matte box? I cannot get a step up ring to thread into the 77mm. Thanks for sharing your rig man, nice build out!
Love the video bro! I’m curious what’s the body support system you have clamped to the top handle?
Any recommendations on storage cases for logistical transport that would hold the camera, 2 lenses and all of the pieces of the rig? Thanks.
Nice camera rig!
But what if you would like to change lenses quickly, I think, it would be probably very inconvenient, right?
And how do you like handheld work with bmpcc6k?
Looks great! Whats the total Cost?
I think a little under $3000 roughly, not including the lens!
Ah man this is so beautiful! Currently building up my A6300 rig...🤣 I will get to your level one day.
Best of luck and thanks for watching!
damn this rig is just fire
Much love!!
@@RyanKao im now a big fan! keep the contents coming. Your work just inspire me to finally push forward with learning and pursuing filmmaking
I love your videos 💯🤙
Thank you manny!!
if the camera is already in that form factor... why not just use the SONY A1 for everything?
A1 has no RAW.
Just curious how long the NP-F970 Battery lasts on the camera? Was planning on V-mount, but this has me thinking! Thanks for the vid!
I believe you can change the direction the follow focus turns in the hand controller menu.
Good video. I kind of respectfully disagree. The 6k does not give you enough 4k options. As you have stated - you have to rig it out. No IBIS. and the BIG ONE - A7S III actually has autofocus that is usable. I love the way that the BM Raw footage looks but I am really not sure it is worth all the extra effort. Also, BM RAw is not optimal for FCPX.
Sweet minimal cinema rig setup there 👍😊
Thanks! 👍
Best "Must Buy Promo"... i have ever seen..
I would Agree with others when they say... Cleanest Rig... It is "BareBones" To The Point...
GREAT JOB.. OVERALL. AND BEST WORK IN YOUR FUTURE...
I appreciate it Tony!
someone on reddit said there is a slightly playback on external monitor attached with HDMI. he mentioned like 4 frame delay. have you experienced something same. and what other lenses you use on your rig.
i really love your color grading ;)
Glad you like it!
That cold open was so original made me lol 🤣 and that's such a dope camera
Thank you a bunch!
Do you think the Panasonic GH5 would provide similar quality?
