Have you known the focus thingy? Mind is blown!
No 😱 Tell us! 🙏
Haha. Check the intro of the video dude😂
Makes me hate the fact that I almost exclusively use vintage lenses with my pocket4k LOL
Hahaha, i know right!
Yes, you can make it autofocus too
What camera you use?
Bmpcc 6k pro
You didn't link to the tripod and video head!
Gruwelijke thumbnail en heerlijk filmpie!
Thanks man. Was een paar uurtjes werk. Moest ff snel iets in elkaar flansen voor ik naar azoren ging, haha
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.
You’re not wrong. But this works fine for just the camera and lens. Usually dont use it like the big setup
@@SjoerdWess cool, keep safe (both you and the camera)~
Thanks buddy!
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.
Now thats a comment. Thanks for putting the time into this man.
I agree on every single point🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi, What is the noise level like on the motorised slider? Would it work in a an interview type situation?
Yes! It’s nearly silent. Considering you’re booming or laving your talent, it’s definitely not noticable
@@SjoerdWess thanks that's great there are so many that are unusable
This one is quite good man
What are the rods the follow focus is attached to?
Smallrig rods
Hello Sjoerd, which app for bmpcc are you using? Great content! 👍
Thanks a lot! Its the blackmagic Bluetooth app
i'm sorry but i can't find this - did you list the make and model of your tripod?
Nope, its discontinued. Search for Gitzo 5 section tripod!
Always inspired by you.Thank you !
Thanks alot🙏
I'm really looking forward to seeing the future content! I would find it very interesting
That is amazing to hear mate! Thanks for the motivation :-)
man, the slider is awsome, i think i will get it
It is truly amazing. Small, yet super functional
@sjoerdwess can you please make a video about focusing through an app for black magic. I’ve the bmpcc 6k pro
Its easy. Open app, set lens to AF and go to the focus page. Voila
@@SjoerdWess thanks for responding back. Which app you’re referring to ?
Can't wait for the changes! Good luck :)
Thanks brother!
Which tripod legs are those?
Gitzo 5section!
How did you use app to focus?
Open the app and focus with the slider!
Super interesting Sjoerd, as always! Are there any fluid heads in particular that you recommend to get started with the movements? Obviously not too expensive, I'm trying to learn the basics in my spare time.
I would say this manfrotto is a very good starter for the price. 180 seems a lot, but really its not if you compare the build quality
Mounting the handle from the top of the camera is asking for trouble. Get a cage and save future heartache.
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.
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.
@@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
ah, we are mentioned, thank you ~😆😆
Amazing products! Still have to put the slider to good use. But that will come. Soon!
@@SjoerdWess thank you!
Haha!
always love your videos
Thanks a lot David!
Man your content is great 👍 Are you planning to talk more about Leica R lenses?
Thanks a lot man. Not sure! No idea what I can talk about :-) haha
@@SjoerdWess Maybe a comparison between modern and vintage lenses to see if there is a difference?
Good idea! Ill note it
Incredible 🔥🤙🤙✌️
Thanks mate
now i wanna be a solo filmmaker 😂
Independent for ever! (No please no.. haha!)
@@SjoerdWess 🤣🤣
🙏🏼
Can you take the motor off and use it as a manual slider as well? Thanks for these tips! 👍
Honestly, I dont think so. Perhaps with an extra rail or something!
@@SjoerdWess Thanks! The link of the manual one in your description doesn't work anymore so please put the one from b&h with $285 so I can buy it through your referral link. You deserve the commission.
Thanks so much for this. Apppreciate the support! I dont have a B&H referral program yet, but I swapped the link with one that should work!
@@SjoerdWess Perfect, thank you!
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!
Thanks a lot buddy! Yea, i know its not made for it, but I don’t feel like getting a cage and add the weight, haha.
The slider is fantastic indeed!
Thanks for checking bro!
@@SjoerdWess 👊
