Here I am thinking Nigel used his mind to make it float

these youtubers always “my mom” “my dad”.. be a man.. do it urself

The link for your top handle doesn't seem to work.

Hah, just as you started with the Super Glue, I was saying, "No! For a structural adhesive for metal you should be using epoxy, like JB Weld." I was about to type that in as a comment when there you went. For work like this, it's worth looking into the various types of epoxies. The Double Bubble series of epoxies is available from many places in small amounts, with different formulations tailored to different applications (e.g., machineable, high peel strength, etc.). Cool build; thanks for sharing this. -Tom

Great stuff! Now I wann make a cage for my old D5300

Very cool to see someone doing some actual mods to get their rig how they want, not just assembling off-the-shelf parts and accepting the shortcomings. Right now I'm finishing up some work to my S5IIX setup, I turned my drill press into a half-ass mill to get my rod baseplate to the profile I wanted, and rigged a quick-release counterweight to help smooth the jiggles when shooting fisheye. Next up is some DIY Trekpak dividers for my Peli case to give it a snug little home to live in.

You of course can weld aluminium! If you find a workshop then they can also add some reinforcement to minimise any sort of bend. But to be frank this is one of the more sketchy DIY rigs. :D

I'm hurt.. You said this is just for your GH5 not like the camera you use for client work ...The GH5 is my client camera 😊. One day I'll be able to afford better. Cheers.

I had the GH5 for several years - and a G9 as my B-cam - but now I have the GH5s and the GH5ii for Video (each with their own Ninja V) The GH5s lives on a gimbal and the GH5ii on sticks (whilst also in a cage for easy carriage plus the option to swap to a bit of hand held. And lo, there was peace in the Valley!

It´s so much fun watching you trying to get the cage where you want it. I own a S5ii, a G9 and a gx85 and with the S5 bein my main cam for KZbin. As much as the S5 is superior to both cams, I just love filming everything with family and friends with the gx85. It´s not about it´s technicality, it´s about this inspiring little package with all it´s limitations making a perfect image (beside the quality being great anyway) second place behind just capturing memories. I thought about getting myself a GH5 just for the vibe, but owning a G9 and S5 I think it´s not close being neccessary. I enjoy both of your channels very much! Thanks for the inspiration!

If you should choose to keep one do you keep the gh5 od s5iix ?

Thanks for showing love to older cameras!

Hello. There are inexpensive Chinese collapsible cages. Just unscrew a couple of screws and the cage will turn into a half-cage. Although the cast monolith, of course, looks more reliable.

Have you ever tried the OG bmpcc speedbooster by metabones? The 0.58x one. I have tried it on a couple M4/3 cameras and it only fits on a couple, I'm intrigued if it fits on the gh5!

What lens are you using for this video? This looks like a good lense for podcasts

Wow i dont know G85 can produce this quality of video😮 Do you use sigma 16mm in this video?

got this lens and camera combo, your videos helped me make my final decision 🔥

Quick question, whatare the cross bars you used to mount it to? Looks great BTW!

can you please share your gh5 settings for this shot?

Nice van

Hi, I read that many have a communication problem between the lens and the. S5II, what about you

Probably next year purchase...😅😅😅

The babydoll head in the corner...

That lens will be my next perchsse! Thank you for the uodate !!

Lovely hiking footage, nice diffusion filter tips, thanks. The kit 12-60 is great value, makes me reconsider any of the 2.8 zooms. In EU the G85 is a G80 with 30 minute recording limit, same for the G9 and G100, which makes the G90 (G95) or GH5 the next unlimited option in that price range and the only PDAF contender is the E-M1 II. That made me consider something like the ZV-1 (ouch) as a video body instead. Not sure about that though, need to do more G80 CDAF video tests, hopefully it's sort of good enough in real world usage as I'd really prefer to keep everything MFT/M43 only.

Anyone else having issues with importing the LUTS? I use Microsoft OS.

Nice, I made the cut off! Thanks for such a meaty answer. I absolutely understand all your points and you're right, wedding filmmaking is a lot of stress for (sometimes) not a big pay off. Great ep!

you haven't seen the canon fullframe rf 28mm f2.8. or sony FE 24-50mm f2.8

You ever consider shooting with a GH6 if you found one on a steal?

Thanks for your insights Nigel! Keep up the great work! Already have a question for next month haha

Very informative video. Thanks for making it. Something that is not often mentioned re focus of Lumix cameras is that the AF/AE LOCK button can be programmed to force the camera to focus quickly both in autofocus and manual focus mode. I've only heard it mentioned once on KZbin but for me its a game changer for these cameras. 👌

Loved the episode, great content creators both of you! 😊 But did anyone count how many times the filler word "like" was said in this podcast episode? 😅

The setup looks cool man!

Thank you so much!!!!

lets goooooo

First comment here. I’m happy to listen this for first thing in the morning ❤

Which top handle do you recommend ?

hey Nigel! the G85 was my 1st Lumix, I sold it for a GH5, however I brought another one because of the size...just falling in love using it again...one question: some say that it is better to use the Natural color profile since it is the flattest and easier to color grade...and you suggest the Cine D...isn't the color already too 'baked in' which gives lest flexibility in color grading? ...which is the best?....by the way why this second channel? thx

Is it suitable in weddings? Im using R8

I got this camera for several years now and it’s been good to me

LIKE 320 🎥📷📽🎬

If you could buy a G85 for 250 bucks or a Olympus e-m1 II for 400 which one would you pic? As a b-cam to a Panasonic S5ii so not main camera. Is the e-m1 ibis as good as the g85 ibis?

G95, GX9 and G100 all have noticeable 1.3x 4K crop… whereas G85 and GX80 only have a small 1.1x 4k crop. It results in better 4k video quality. Weird downgrade for the G95 and GX9.

Whats your setting on CINE D profile?
