    correct me if I am wrong, but blackmagic seems to state that do not only use the top screw for top handle, you need a cage as that screw it not strong enough.

    That slider!!!!!!!!!! 😭 I gotta get my hands on one of those, man! It changes the whole dynamic into beauty! but, I'm gonna definitely get that follow focus first! Man, you put the handle directly on the camera without a cage?! YOu know, I was looking for a matte box for a long time and then SmallRig did it and I got it and it's very handy, but now they did that mini one and I suffer every time I see it, lol! Loved the light, man. I always love the light in your videos! Thank you for your fantastic list!!! Cheers!

    Four things you need as a solo filmmaker: 1) Never listen to anyone...They are not you, don't know you, don't know how you work or your goals...If they knew stuff, they'd be making millions...2) Trial-and-error beats how-to books, stupid videos by wanna-bes, lame colleges and elitist film schools every time which are all about conforming to dinosaur cookie-cutter ideas... Experimentation leads to greatness, not populist pap... 3) Get over yourself... You want to make movies? So what? It's not like you are curing cancer. Look at the motivation to be a filmmaker -- want awards, to be famous, be rich? Or do you actually have something poignant to say which will supersede any technical rawness? Don't be a social media hipster nerd who thinks he's something with a bare lightbulb posing as "creativity" who is super-excited over equipment. If you don't know this stuff, no one can tell you. If you do know this stuff, it's self-evident. 4) No one has the "answers" or Spielberg, who is not known as a Great Artist with all the needed equipment necessary, would make one mega-hit after another instead of cranking out the dull hit-and-miss commercial garbage while investors keep hoping for another "Jaws". Be inspired by outside-the-box, misunderstood Kubrick, Bergman, Waters, Warhol, Lynch, Pasolini, Wells, Scorsese, Coppola, Bruce La Bruce or even Ed Wood...Don't compare yourself with anyone. It's about relatable abstract ideas, an original voice, a world-view -- not the equipment or format or how much money (or lack thereof) you spend. Chaplin had the eyes of the world within a couple of years of the media invention, and you have way more technology than he had on your phone and instant FREE distribution on the internet. Drive and inspiration cover a lot of technical lack. If you have an incredibly good story, you'll be found, even if you're shoeless.

    Mounting the handle from the top of the camera is asking for trouble. Get a cage and save future heartache.

    • @SjoerdWess
      @SjoerdWess  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nah, use this for sooooo long. I know its not recommended, but normally never use a handle with so much rigging. Just the body and lens, and that works fine :-)

      @@SjoerdWess I guess if you're very gentle and careful with the handling, damage won't occur. But be careful, Murphy is always looking for opportunities to cause mischief.

    • @SjoerdWess
      @SjoerdWess  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha, that is nicely put! And yep, I am always very careful and aware of my camera handling. It’s just I dont like the extra bulkyness and weight of the cage that much.

    • @AustralianImage
      @AustralianImage 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SjoerdWess To be honest, a cage like my SmallRig one doesn't add any significant bulk or weight at all. Most of the weight of my rig comes from the camera, the lens (1kg with adapter), monitor (400g) and batteries (500g). That said, I'm used to carrying a lot of camera gear as a retired news and sports photographer, so what I use as a run & gun rig is kind of lightweight. I find that the weight of my rig provides improved stability even while walking and filming without a gimbal.
      Another thing is protection. I've had my rig fall off a chair in my study, fall off the front seat of my 4WD in the bush and come off no worse for wear. A tightly constructed rig, where everything is supported and held together (my lens is held in place by a zip tie on the support rail) means it's truly run & gun. But then I'm not the sort that babies my camera gear. I've had to fish out a camera bag from the bottom of a river once and was so glad that I owned Olympus 4/3 lenses, all completely waterproof.
      As a complete aside, my wife is of Dutch borne parents who emigrated to Australia in the 50s, like my parents did from Finland.

      Thats true tho. However, right now, im on day 6 of running around in rainforests shooting a mountainbike film. And every gram counts imo. Dropping a cam is in a small corner, however, it never happened to me in 10 years (touch wood) haha.
      I will look into the cage. I did have a half cage for my 4k before which was nice.
      Thats cool man! Australia is probably on my main list of travel :-). I need to earn some money upfront, haha
