0:50 whoa! crazy that happened ... nice rig btw...

[@adrienpayet]

This rig looks sick ! Love your content !

[@jiving0078]

Looks nice, have you ever attempted a 400ft magazine with this setup?

[@KarimShaaban]

From your description later in the video, there seems to be three Rosette adapters not two.. correct?! The description get me very confused!

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

one is for the focus wheel

Amazing job! Have you got any footage we can see?

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

João Solimeo stay tuned

[@iNerdier]

That background flare :D Have you considered adding a stepper motor to the 1:1 drive shaft and running it off a v mount for longer takes and sync sound possibility?

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

interesting you wanna hit me up on ig and talk more about this? @geoffreygonzales edit : oh you were talking about the bolex motor. not really. if i want sound and longer 400’ takes id probably look into an aaton or sr

[@Dcrddd]

Dude I love it. I've been looking to use a rig on a super8 camera, and this video just gave me the answer to that. Please, please, just make some more of those super cool rigs videos. Loved this content!!!

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

coming soon

[@knoxcoulter721]

Hey man, this is an absolutely insane setup you have going. I recently inherited a bolex reflex from my late great uncle, and I have no idea how to go about using it. I would love if you could share where you learned how to shoot with it, or even better, if you would consider making a video on your workflow with shooting/developing and digitizing the footage from this. Liked and subbed, brb watching all of your videos

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

oh that’s cool yeah that would be a good idea, got a couple lines up for a month or two but after that can hit me up on instagram @geoffreygonzales and let’s talk more

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

but to answer : just a lot of youtube how tos, and i get my film processed and scanned at pro 8

[@knoxcoulter721]

Followed!

[@gidipridan]

Is it Bayonet mount to FD?

[@Energyboy83]

Whats the lens adapter you used for the canon lens? I've been looking everywhere - do you have a link?

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

Using 2 adapters, one Bolex Bayonet mount to C, and one C to Canon FD

[@julianalvarez4202]

Hey! can you tell us what adaptor are u using?

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

for, the lens?

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

this is a bolex sbm, it has a bolex bayonet mount. i got à bolex bayonet mount to cmount adapter. then i got a cmount to canon fd mount adapter by viltrox

[@k3super16mm]

cool

[@GARO1967]

Hi how do you trigger the shutter whilst focusing

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

Garo hello, the bolex has a trigger lock built in on the side

[@GARO1967]

Thanks

[@nickperritt2786]

I’m looking to build my first rig for a h16 reflex. Do you have the actual names of each of the adapter parts that you used here? I’m new to small rig so some guidance would be crisp! Amazing set-up dude!

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

hey what’s up hit me up on ig @geoffreygonzales

[@gidipridan]

which bolex is that? great vid

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

thank you. bolex sbm

[@gidipridan]

@@GeoffreyGonzales thanks mate

[@geraldkerkletz6243]

may ask, where is the sigle rod mount you use for the follow focus motor from? it_s not in your list, is it?

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

that is from the tilta nano, but you can just get a short 4" rod form smallrig

[@streamslove]

Geoffrey Gonzales and the mount?

[@aliciaramirez8347]

ok but how do you record? isnt the nucleus in front of the button?

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

there is a switch on the side to active the shutter

[@francescomussida]

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

aaron erskin miss you bro

[@KarimShaaban]

Hey Geoffrey, Can you please share with us breakdown of the setup and parts names and links. I just got my bolex and want to do the same setup man. Thank you, I sent you message on instagram also. Thanks Man

[@moesmith8073]

Bro!!!! Suuuuch a sick rig set up! I am currently working on one for my REX2. Quick question, What is your lens set up? I am adapting M42 lenses via the C-Mount to M42 but wanted so use some of my full frame canon glass or even my Xeen cene lens. Is that even possible? Thanks again bro! -Moe

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

im using old canon fd lenses, with an adapter you can use ef lenses with your boles with this adapter amzn.to/2wP9etB the focal conversion will be 2.8x, so a 50mm lens will be a 140mm lens on 16mm NOTE : some lenses won’t completely work; the aperture and focus can’t be used on the bolex bc it doesn’t have have any electronic contacts to control the lens. manual lenses (that focus and can change aperture by hand when not on the camera) will work

[@aaronerskin7272]

omg the car accident

[@eugenebatiste]

I hate big cities. There was literally an accident, and you finished your YT video. C'mon dude, tend to the scene until 1st responders arrive. Like, wtf. #humansin2020

[@GeoffreyGonzales]

there’s this thing in filmmaking called editing, where you “cut” from one part of a sequence and can move to a different part of the sequence. that’s what i did here, which is why there isn’t a couple minutes of footage of an empty bench while i went over and checked it out. it was a left turn bumping the side of someone turning right. everyone got out of the cars, and was fine. you didn’t ask how much time was spent off camera. or what i did off camera. or about the severity of the accident. but instead, you just made shallow assumptions, choosing to assume the worst. like, wtf. #humansin2020
