Really love this format of you building it on camera in front of us. This really gives us a better idea of how it feels and handles. This is a key difference from some of the other rig videos that i've seen. Super helpful, thank you!

[@GlenReed]

Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@AlfredoReyesEsparza]

I'm thankful that you showed how to get the lens stable. great job ty

[@GlenReed]

Thanks! Glad I could help! Love this setup 🙂

[@vervegame]

Glen, thank you so much for sharing this video with everyone and especially for putting the links to build the exact rig, massive savings from doing yours verse building out on my own. Look forward to watching your video on your lens lineup!

[@GlenReed]

You’re very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a kind comment 🙂

[@DutchAussieProductions]

Thanks for the video, Glen. I am currently using a BMPCC 6K and will buy the BMPCC 6K Pro soon. This is the best rig I have seen so far for this camera. Have a nice day.

[@GlenReed]

Thanks man! I love the image that comes out of the BlackMagic cameras. They are really worth a lot more than what they charge. I appreciate the compliment 😊. Thanks for watching!

[@J-Dawg-1]

AMAZING! Good job brother!!!!

[@GlenReed]

Thank you!

[@jackop1728]

What a nice rig, thanks for sharing!

[@GlenReed]

Thanks! It has served me well.

[@TILTA]

love this setup!

[@GlenReed]

Thanks! I’m looking into the Tilta Float system with the RS3 Pro next 😉

[@MyJeanf]

Amazing rig bro . Enjoyed the video.

[@GlenReed]

Thanks 😊

[@JohannBeute]

At 2:47 you said the Tilta cage comes with both of the 90 degree HDMI and USBC Adapters. However I don't seem them listed in the "What's in the box" Section on BHP photo, so just want to double confirm if I need to buy them seperately or if they are included. Thanks!

[@GlenReed]

If I remember correctly the full kit does come with it. However I purchased everything separately because the kit came with a T7 ssd holder and I have T5’s so I can’t confirm for sure unfortunately. Worst case buy the kit and then order separately if necessary, at least you would still be able to use it without in the meantime. Also I added a swivel to the handle that has made it even better. amzn.to/3Y0xBwo

[@JohannBeute]

@@GlenReed Thank you! I ended up purchasing the Tilta basic cage kit and the adapters did indeed come with it. Ironically they sent me a T5 holder in the kit by mistake when it was supposed to be a T7! Haha.

[@GlenReed]

Awesome! It’s a nice kit! Enjoy 😉

[@blacklenscinema]

Great setup.

[@GlenReed]

Thanks! 😊

[@rene.rodriguez]

Your rig looks amazing! Thanks for putting this video together.

[@GlenReed]

Thanks man! I appreciate the comment! It’s been working well, just need to add a matte box.

[@YuvakTuladhar]

Very nice rig! Looks practical with being to use with or without follow focus!

[@GlenReed]

Thanks! Yes it’s a very robust rig and has been serving me well. The only thing I might change is to add a quick release for the focus handle.

[@Korvinus34]

Nice rig and video overall!

[@GlenReed]

Thank you! And thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@cinemashields]

Hey Glen! This video ROCKS and I have almost completely replicated your setup for my own BMPCC6k. It’s wonderful. However, I’m running into some trouble calibrating the follow focus. I have the same motor/handle setup you have but can’t seem to sync them together. Do you have any advice?

[@GlenReed]

Hey! That’s awesome! It really is a very good setup. I used it to film much of my recent short film and as a B and C cam in a feature film. The units need to be on the same channel. This video by Tilta might help kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3S0iIp-fK-Cnsksi=tMr16roSa0AT6yr5

[@LarsGottschalk]

10:46 I bought the full Tilta nucleus m set. In the case are 2 dedicated 90 degree angles to arri rosette for exact that purpose. Maybe u can buy them separately from tilta.

[@GlenReed]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, I’ll look into that.

[@derekabel7123]

Nice 😎👍🏻

[@GlenReed]

Thanks!

[@Adrian_G444]

This is lovely rig. i like how compact and practical is. Looking to get the bmpcc pro and defo i will look into your rig as starting point. Thanks for sharing! Do you use a field monitor with it ? curious where you placing it and how comfortable is for filming. Cheers

[@GlenReed]

Thanks! Yes sometimes I do use the BlackMagic View assist 7” field monitor. I mount it at the front of the handle with a Kondor Blue quick release. Most of the time though I find the built in monitor is good enough. Thanks for watching 🙂

[@bmefilms6879]

if the rosette was able to rotate and lock for low shots, this would be incredible. still dope tho!!

[@GlenReed]

Yeah I tried to figure out a way for the rosette to rotate, but the clearance is too small between the mount and the handle so I had to use a standard screw. Thanks for watching!

[@rajr]

Thanks for the video Glen. Any recommendations for mattebox? Also, how easy it is to switch this setup to gimbal?

[@GlenReed]

Unfortunately I’m still in the market for a matte box myself and haven’t settled on one yet. Depending on the gimbal this setup can be quite easy to strip down and balance. I can pack up this rig in less than 5 min. The hardest part would be if your gimbal cannot balance the camera with the cage as that would take a bit more time to remove. Thanks for watching!

[@aLgProduction]

Nice!

[@GlenReed]

Thanks 😊

[@Jaxplode]

Wow nice! Love the solution for V-Mount Battery. I always struggle with my SmallRig V-Mount Battery Plate directly behind the Screen of the 6K Pro. My question: Can I also attach this V-Mount Battery Holder on the right upper side of my SmallRig 6K Pro Cage? Which Screws did you use?

[@GlenReed]

Thanks! Yeah I’m not a fan of having it behind the screen, kinda defeats the purpose of the nice screen. It comes with 1/4 20 screws and will attach most places other accessories mount, so it should work. Thanks for watching!

[@Jaxplode]

@@GlenReed Thanks for this solution! I found recently found a second hand one here in Germany. I will try this out. And When you attach a Monitor on the Top Handle you can press the rig more on your body to get more stable footage and control.

[@GlenReed]

Awesome! I have a couple of these batteries and one of them I got second hand without any problems.

[@mehdilali83]

Amazing, thank you for this video. Do you know the weigh of this rig?

[@quiztasiarocks]

Hey Glen, have you ever had this cable drop frames? Also do you know of any usb clamps that would work with this cage?

[@GlenReed]

Hey! I haven’t had any dropped frames with this cable. The system that I show has the cable bolt directly to the cage and the ssd mount. Thanks for watching!

[@swxe6]

Thank you bro I just purchased my new bmpcc6kpro, this is definitely the rig I am getting! 😎🎥 It looks super badass ! My boy i have a question ? What do you use to stabilize your rig a Glidecam or an electronic stabilizer like the Ronin brand ?

[@GlenReed]

Thanks! Personally I mainly go handheld. Since the rig has some weight to it it keeps things pretty stable. Plus Davinci Resolves new gyro stabilize feature can smooth most things out. I'm not a big fan of gimbals, I have one but very rarely use it. I do plan on getting a Proaim Flycam overhead rig soon to help take the load off on long shoots, also to use with the URSA Mini 12k. Give it a try handheld and see how it works for you. Thanks for watching!

[@mongehsonjong4673]

❤

[@ggdfggdfgdffgfddg34]

Friend, tell me honestly, on what diaphragm are you able to control the focus with your hands? Is it even possible to go and focus with the tilt handles? Your camera has no stabilization, which means that your main shooting position is when you hold the camera to your stomach. Explain how you shoot on the built-in screen, without a camera monitor it is not possible, to stabilize the camera you need to rest either on the chest or on the stomach?

[@GlenReed]

Yes it is possible to focus using the Tilta handle. This is my main run and gun setup. The added weight of the camera also helps keep things stabilized. I don’t need to keep the camera up against my chest as the Pocket 6k Pro has a built in gyroscope that is used for stabilization in post. Using the inbuilt screen is how I’m able to judge focus using focus peaking and exposure.

[@gonzalochavarry]

Does that cage also works on the 6K G2?

[@GlenReed]

I haven’t personally tried it, but I believe the body dimensions are the same between the two cameras. It should fit fine. Thanks for watching!

[@princeamu]

What song are you using?!? That shit slaps

[@resolving_boris]

I love the content, but the music is just killing the video. It's way too loud. If you really want music, just lower it so it's not distracting.

[@GlenReed]

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback 🙂

[@_mannyponce]

How do I give two 👍🏼 on this one? Jk great vid man

[@GlenReed]

Thanks man! I appreciate the encouragement 😊

[@_mannyponce]

@@GlenReed anytime. Your videos are super clean and I have learned a lot

[@GlenReed]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Hopefully I’ll be able to pump out some more content soon.
