Recording straight to the T5 SSD is magical. I don't think I can ever go back now.

[@jaydivina533]

That is a well thought out rig. Love it. Fair total price too. I liked once. 🤓. Thanks Gerald.

[@geraldundone]

Thanks, Jay! Appreciate it. 😃👌

Glad to see other KZbinrs embracing the IndiPro Tools solution!

[@mattsiiteri4366]

damn the ending really put it into perspective. Thanks for putting this all together. It's still very relevant in 2022 imo

[@johnhaynes9910]

I am a stills photographer mainly and when I do video prefer to use a video camera rather than a DSLR/Mirrorless bodies which ergonomically are not ideal and end up having to be mounted in rigs with numerous attachments before they become functional. In terms of value and function even on this side of the Pond, the Pocket 4K is great value for money and this episode by you the King of All Things Purple showing the choices you made on kitting out this camera is really interesting in terms of addons and costs.

[@geraldundone]

Thanks, John. Appreciate your thoughts on this one. Cheers!

[@Ilikemakingthings]

Not super relevant to the content here, but I’ve been chopping through heaps of your older videos and newer, the audio in the later videos is so buttery smooth! This one the voice sounds fantastic compared to a few older videos. Such excellent and informative content also, thank you!

[@12344ADAM44321]

great information, im so much closer to switching from A7III to BMPCC4K and just living that manual focus life 100%

[@mrwashur1991]

Damn, I just bought and rigged out my bmpcc 4k. They had it with the cage, t5 mount, side clamp, and optical cleaning kit for $1369, Lanparte vmount plate $165, juicebox 150Wh vmount $179, t5 $189, moza air 2 $449, nikon speedbooster $389, sigma 30mm dx $150, nikon 50mm f2 $50, slr magic 8mm $149, atomos shinobi $299, camvate shoulder rig $239, 2 led lights with stands and power $125, npf batteries $60, ikan manual FF $250, plus a few other thing about $300. $4362 and I went all out but made sure to find the best bang for buck. Glad I didn't give in a year ago and waited to upgrade.

[@RLinares22]

98wh batteries are totally the way to go. You get that sense of relief when you can just keep shooting especially on longer days. Equivalent to that feeling I got the one project I used a 2tb samsung t5 to record with... It just... keeps... going! Glad Portapak is willing to be flexible on cable offerings especially when marketing to the pocket shooter crowds. Kudos to them. I've been looking into vmount battery options like FX Lion, blueshape, core swx and anton bauer. Nice to see other solutions also. Btw you should do a video on how you manage your media. Would be interested in seeing whether you archive your show content or once you finish your edits and upload to KZbin, let it transition into the digiverse in the sky. NEXT VIDEO: "Carry on my Undone Son"

[@geraldundone]

Haha. Great comment. And thanks for the suggestion. Cheers!

[@matto29]

This is gonna save me so much time ordering all the things I need to make the perfect BMPCC4K rig. Was waiting for this exact video from you man, thanks for knocking it out of the park as always. If my wife asks the total price was $240 and I was able to use my Canadian Tire money

[@sheawee]

Gerald, thanks for mentioning the Porta Pak power alternative. I'm considering this for some documentary work and wanting to go as "stripped down" as possible. Being able to mount the camera on top of the battery will really help reduce bulk and create even cleaner and quicker access to the back monitor. Thanks for always providing such thoughtful content.

I would recommend that when you want to plug ssd back unscrew the cable place ssd plug the cable and tighten everything together. When you tighten the ssd and or cable it pushes it slightly downwards so if you keep the cable tight and try to plug ssd it might damage the port.

[@alesko5]

A little delayed here, but the one thing you're missing in your links is the rod clamp quick release baseplate. I can't seem to find it anywhere, but it's exactly what I'm looking for!

[@JonathanHeresOficial]

Hi Gerald, ive read it is not advised to have the lpe6 inside when running an external battery. In a FB group i have someone give me this reaseon: "It is right. You should not have a battery inserted in the camera, while using an external 12V. The reason is that the control and load circuit of the LP06 has a fairly high consumption, between 4 and 8 w, which is subtracted from what the camera needs to operate. Therefore, you would have to supply about 22 Watts for the camera, and with the energy expenditure of the LP06 inserted, it could reach or exceed 30 watts. With a dummy battery, the external one should only provide the power equal to the LP06, without activating charging circuits." Any thoughts on this?

[@sebsyoutubechannel4252]

Wow I'm so early to this video and I'm so interested in it!!! Thanks Gerald looking forward to watching this! :D

[@geraldundone]

Thanks a lot! I'm glad to hear that. Enjoy! 😃🙏

[@erickdperezr]

After watching all rigs, this is by far the best, an exception would be if you want a more minimalist approach which i would recommend the one by james matthews

[@josephnicklo2994]

I love that the Ikan follow focus system has internal batteries. I hate that I need to connect the Tilta nano to a power source. Glad to see someone finally mount the v-mount battery flat so it doesn’t block the screen. Just found your channel and giving it a sub! One thing about keeping the battery in the camera, the v-mount will charge the battery inside the camera will it’s running. So let’s say you need to go lightweight for a bit...you drain the crappy canon battery in 20 minutes (lol) and then go back to your rig...charges the Battery :)

[@HuFilms]

Reminds me of my rig I had for my BMPC4K (production camera) but yours is a lot better!

[@geraldundone]

😃👍

[@ericadams6608]

Just great Gerald. Don't know how you manage it! Thanks , Cheers

[@geraldundone]

Thanks, Eric! Really appreciate it. Cheers!

[@finnillson4808]

The P4K is a really awesome piece of kit. It’s only major downside is the battery life. You pretty much have to use v-mount batteries. Which increases the weight and form factory. I wish they would add SSD recording or ProRes Raw via HDMI to Atomos for the GH5S 😭

[@geraldundone]

Yeah, that'd be pretty sweet! 😃

[@bullettin]

For some people the increased weight is welcome because it helps stabilize and dampen movements. It looks like the balance on this rig would be right at the handle, so getting some smooth handheld movement without the aid of a gimbal or stabilizer should be possible.

[@ZaneleJiane]

Very useful information about 1TB recording three hours at Q0. Someone said on 128GB one can record 3 minutes at highest frame rate. I thought i needed to buy lots of storage media

[@FTGTapGod]

Was wondering if you've heard about or messed around with the ZCam E2? I've been using it for the past 6 months and have fallen in love with it. I was using a RED Scarlet MX and have completely replaced it in my workflow with the E2. I tried the Pocket 4k, but ended up being slightly dissapointed by it. Not in terms of image quality necessarily, but in build quality, battery life, and form factor. The E2 has almost the exact same sensor in it as the Pocket, but they use a better processor squeezing out a lot of functionality/performance. For $2000 you're getting 4k up to 160fps at 10bit, 13 stops of dynamic range (16 in WDR mode), 300mbps max bitrate, all metal body, uses NPF batteries, CFast or external SSD, WiFi, and imo a much better form factor. Would definitely be something interesting to check out. I'm loving the image out of it, the 10bit high frame-rate capabilities are great for versatility, and I'm getting about 4 hours of battery life on a single npf970 shooting at 4k.

[@geraldundone]

I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but I've definitely seen it and heard about it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it!

Love your rig bro. I'm doing weddings and I was looking into quick options to release the rig and put the camera on a gimbal really fast. Thank you! Right now I have the Panasonic Lumix G85, I'm gonna upgrade to the GH5 and rig that out. Then once my business is making more money, I'm gonna get the Pocket 4K

[@gonjouls9521]

Hey Gerald! Since you love doing your research when creating this kind of videos, and seeing how you connected both the camera and the monitor to the same Vmount battery. What are your thoughts on the "ground loop" issue that may occur by powering your monitor and the camera with the same battery (some have reported that this setup has fried the HDMI and I'm a little afraid that it might happen to me as well if I do this).

[@atlasfielding]

[@misterdeity]

This is so similar to how I rigged my P4K. The parts are a little different but the gist is the same. Have you noticed that the M43 sensor in the P4k is a little wider than the GH5? Is it the same sensor as the GH5s? I think the GH5s is the same. Do you know? Oh, and thanks for the idea about keeping a battery in the battery compartment. I hadn't thought of that - brilliant!!!

[@geraldundone]

Thanks! Yeah, the sensor is a bit wider. Makes the crop factor slightly less intense than regular m43.

[@TheHollermann]

The mount of the monitor and the focus wheel is ingenous, but i miss the description of what parts you used to do this. Seems like you start with a Smallrig BSE2431, then a DJI RS-004? And from then...what are those?

[@danalarson9533]

I've been trying to figure it out too. I'm pretty sure he's using this as a rod holder: store.dji.com/product/ronin-s-focus-motor-rod-mount

[@Albanez39]

If you're low on money, you could get Camvate and other cheap cages and mounts (instead of SmallRig); The Tilta Nucleus Nano costs less than $200, but I don't know if it's as good as the ikan follow focus system. You can save $500 by getting the Viltrox EF-M2 (actually 0.68x) instead of the Metabones (overpriced). The Sigma 18-35mm is often on sale, or you could buy a cheaper lens. And there are dozens of monitors full of different features between $100 and $200, not as good as Atomos monitors, but still worth it...

[@joehancuff6310]

Dear Black Magic, I think some accessory consolidation is in order. In other words, the next model needs to have some of this stuff built in/on.

[@ethanlyons5141]

Its a cinema camera it's supposed to be modular meaning you buy the brain and choose the rest of the parts. If you were expecting an all in one camera experience I recommend buying a high end camcorder.

[@trevorbukowski849]

Great idea to use 2 pin instead of dummy battery to give you a second chance if you forgot that battery was low!

[@landonp629]

I prefer the Meike lenses over the Sigma. T2.2 in a native format with no need for the speedbooster.

An important question, hope you will see and answer this. I have read many discussions on forums and they usually say if the camera and the monitor is powered by the same source and connected by hdmi that might burn the hdmi, monitor or even the camera! I was about to go for that powering solution and now I'm corcerned. did you have any problems with the same power source for camera and monitor? Thanks in advance!

[@TrigramProductions]

Question: I've heard mixed information about this but the metabones Ultra is designed for "Super 35" magnification with lenses for those kind of sensors or larger. The Sigma 18-35 is cropped for Canon APS-C which is smaller than the Super 35. Would this mean vignetting will still occur with the Ultra, despite people telling me there is only vignetting on the XL, or am I missing another variable? You're the man! Thanks.

[@Alec_keski]

[@MarcSchreiberRealtor]

Than you for another helpful video. WARNING: According to the engineers at Blackmagic it is NOT okay to keep a battery in the camera while powering it via the 12v port. Damage can occur to the electronics. It is discussed in several BM forums and in the manual. Maybe you can test and research it better... Get it Undone!

[@wuzzed]

Marc, the latest manual covers using both external and internal batteries at the same time. This is from the latest manual on Page 6: If you have both external and battery power connected, only external power is used. If you remove external power while a charged battery is connected, your camera switches to battery power without interruption. There is a note on page 20 about "Custom Power Solutions" that says: "When powering your camera with a custom made power source, we recommend removing the LP-E6 type battery." People were building their own battery solutions and overpowering the camera.

[@samgerers]

With this setup the BMPCC is about as big as my C100 rigged up. I also use the shinobi, it's a great monitor!

[@Gus_Diaz_83]

It might be a silly question, but you mentioned adding a swing Matte Box or clamp-on Matte Box, but from this video with your lens, the rail rods don't seem to be long enough. Are they? Can you slide them out further? What length of rods would you recommend if a future Matte Box purchase seems likely to sit in front?

Do you have problems with the atomos shinobi having less dynamic range then the cameras in-built monitor? On my camera monitor the highlights won’t look clipped but on the shinobi they will be totally blown out. No lut or anything applied in monitor. Makes it hard to use shinobi for exposure

[@reginaldworthington7558]

Gerald Undone One of your viewers below in the main comments asked if you had considered the Z-CAM E2 and I confess I’d not come across that to date in all the research I’ve been doing on cine-cam options. So I did a little homework last night and discovered what may be the best little gadget I’ve seen, particularly at the price point. You should have a look if you’ve not done so already and of course, a review from you on this E2 or even the E2-F6 would be highly valued if you can swing it. A young filmmaker, Scott Dumas, has done a decent job on an overview I caught last night but I’m sure you would take it to another level. Food for thought.

[@adamkurtz665]

will the portapak with a cable running from the 12volt to 2pin work on the 6k? I have read threads of it burning out the battery, or shorting out.

Does the Canon LPE6 battery charge will its inside the camera and the camera is hooked up to the V-mount battery?

[@MrGoodHammer]

Great rig! You and I are using many of the same components. Two questions: 1) Have you worked through the challenge of using a VND and adding a lens hood. I use the Syrp and B+W 82mm VNDs on my Lumix 12-35 and 35-100 lenses, then screw on a collapsible rubber lens hood into the female threads of the filter. The round hood allows consistent shading when rotating the VND, as opposed to a tulip or rectangular shade. But, I get some vignetting in the corners from the hood, at wider angles. Do you have any better solutions? 2) As an alternative, I've okie engineered a couple 4x4 plates to hold both sides of my VND in my matte box. Then one of the filter trays rotates to adjust density. My end product is a bit janky, but with enough fiddling, it works. Have you seen a manufactured product that allows round 82mm filters to be used in a 4x4 matte box filter tray? Bonus question: Aputure has a couple DEC products that look like PHENOMENAL solutions. BUT...one is a speed booster that gives full control of a Canon lens (focus, iris, etc), but no eVND. The other is an eVND, but no speed boosting. Do you know of any combined solutions? An amalgamation of both products? Or maybe a drop-in speed boosting lens that can be used with the eVND?

[@JL-bo2cs]

How do you record the audio when shooting with this camera? Could it be possible to add a preamp or a wireless transmitter to the cage while having the shinobi monitor?

[@VamshiRokzzz]

I'm planning on buying a on camers monitor for judging accurate exposure and colour(with and without the scopes) of my videos. My cameras might be a A7R or a BMPCC or a Red etc based on the project.
