Building a BMPCC OG rig for less than $700

[@Another-Layer]

Great vid, thank you. Great choice on camera. I’m an original owner of the OG and I still have it in my studio with my other cameras. I wanted to share with our community some tips on this camera because it’s a very viable camera in 2024. This camera really needs an external monitor for focus and exposure…no duh, but get a monitor that has an 8.4v out. The monitor and camera can operate off the Sony np-970 on the monitor- turn the monitor on first then the camera. I have a cheap Feelworld monitor that works great. Keeps everything compact and the np batteries are cheap. I recently purchased a laowa 7.5 f2.1 zero d lens for this camera that is a fantastic combination, sharp and is around 22mm with the crop factor. The laowa also works great on my BM 4k as an ultra wide at around 15mm. While this next tip needs a good computer, Topaz ai software can up the resolution to 4k and resolve detail to rival any camera. It can do slow motion too with mixed results. My other cameras need rigging and can’t be used as a carry-around camera but this little OG setup is perfect and fits easily in a backpack. Fellow filmmakers, ANY modern camera works great, go out and film stuff, get creative. Cheers!

Love your videos bro. Superb quality and great advice.

Love the challenge of setting a budget. And love Laverne ❤

[@michelangelotorres_filmmaker]

this channel talks about all the cameras I like, great discover

[@JS-cu8bz]

Nice laid back channel you got going here mate. Love to watch before work or bed. Your comparisons are always cool, I value what advice you have on the pricing of gear and value for money.

[@filmedbyMakarios]

Nice content! Pocket og and some affordable c-mount glass is a killer for mini cine rig. I also own the fujian ones and I still use it for casual filmaking. Good job!

[@pogoprofilms]

Bought ours a couple years ago for $250 on MPB. They listed it as defective since it was dropping frames. They obviously didn't use the right card because it works flawlessly. Possibly my favorite camera of all time.

[@BrianSantero]

Absolutely love your chill, relaxed nature and you teach so well! Thanks for a beautiful adventure. Where can we see the final cut?

[@jakehayden998]

Thanks for the kind words! The final product will hopefully come out in the next couple of months

[@Len-Dor1983]

Thank you for this excited to see the finish product.

[@zechenwei1139]

Awesome video! It is very nice to see the whole workflow!

[@jessicagarcia7558]

The Og is magic ! I can never sell mine.

[@illyaanyol9064]

You also can use Lightbox (top right corner) to compare color consistency through whole video

[@andrewcoonsmedia]

Love this, I'm inspired to get some Super 16 lenses for my GH5...with a little digital zoom they'd be very usable and probably still close to 3-4k resolution if shooting open gate. But also this is such a great solution for usable lenses on the BMPCC which I've never tried just because of that 3x crop. Great solution!

[@jakehayden998]

I would love to see the results on that. I bet the GH5 is awesome with C mount lenses

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Love this video! What step up ring size did you get for your c mount lenses?

[@moviedorkproductions9465]

Awesome Sauce! You know, the last shot with your puppy, you can definitely use that lens to emulate the look you would get by looking through a peephole of a door or a POV shot of a robot or childs toy. Just a suggestion... Thanks for the tutorial, I have a C mount 12.5-105mm f/2.8 studio lens that I now have a use for IF i can find an O.G. BMPCC. You now jave a new subscriber!

[@jakehayden998]

That 12.5 105mm sounds awesome. I love hearing about the lenses everyone uses in the C mount world. What brand makes it?

[@FrightBites]

What battery plate adapter did you use to attach to the rails??

[@arendv]

Nice video! But damn always show the result at the end of the video! I was waiting to see the final result and it didn't go there :(

[@farshaxan]

Random question, what app are you using @6:18 to switch between davinci resolve and Finder? Love that clean background workflow, great work as always!

[@jakehayden998]

It's actually not an app but "stage manager" within Mac OS. If you don't have it in your control center then you might need to update. I can't remember when they added it but I'm on Sonoma right now if that's helpful

[@rafibenatar2519]

Awsome stuff 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻

[@jakehayden998]

Thanks a bunch! I appreciate that

[@kniferideaudio]

I love C mount lenses

[@maaggnus]

Ahh im first great video man!

[@h0ze]

Awesome video as always! What you think about the blackmagic production camera 4k? It's around 500$ too rn, you recommend to start filmmaking?

[@nestorarranz3179]

There is a pentax 28mm that looks real nice that you can still find for under 100 bucks

[@joshadaniel]

Great stuff, just got myself a bmpccog last year and this is very inspiring :) what memory cards are you using? keep it up 🔥

[@jakehayden998]

Thanks for the kind words! I have a Kingston 256gb Canvas select plus and a PNY 128gb that both work great with the BMPCC

[@BeloshapkaAutoBuilds]

Do you ever get confused making and editing a video of you making and editing a video? Great stuff!

[@jakehayden998]

Thanks for the kind words, and yes it actually was very confusing

[@SamMehrizi]

Can you break down and id the rig?

[@Reuel_Media]

i was hoping you would have found an old canon dslr and use magic lantern on it, that woulda been dope

[@jakehayden998]

I'll do a video on old Canon DSLRs and Magic Lantern at some point soon, theres so much to explore there

[@m_eelo_]

whats the camera name of the camera "pocket 4 600 ??? that's what I heard 😅

[@jakehayden998]

It's a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera Original

[@hugomalpeyre]

great job ; you should get a cosmicar 6.5mm f1.4 (or F1.6/8) for 10 bucks, this one would work. Or get a X1,5 (or maybe X2 c mount converter - cosmicar or pentax) for your navitar, you won't have any vignetting, but it will make the lens a 12mm ish lens ; (or, your lens might work if you change the mount on the OG and put a 'deep' c mount MOUNT. (not sure if it's clear ; as you, i bought some wrong c mount lenses, way too many), new subscriber, love your stuff

[@jakehayden998]

Really great input there, I'll look into each of these lenses. Thank you!

[@garretreed9709]

I let out the dogs in the morning 🦶

[@LonelySpeck]

If you think this is the most affordable cinema camera out there, you need to check out the Canon EOS M with a Crop Mood Magic Lantern Build.

[@jakehayden998]

I'll do a video on that soon! I need to do some research on it first. Theres a lot to learn with magic lantern

[@ergontilepepsi]

i really like your videos

[@jaron_hayden]

When buying camera gear… always leave money for Taco Bell

[@jakehayden998]

Have you tried the new Cantina Chicken Quesadilla? GAAWWWD its good

[@jaron_hayden]

@@jakehayden998that chicken flatbread thing goes hord 🔥

[@Dionne_Sheree]

@@jakehayden998my Sister is obsessed with it and put me and my Brother on! It’s good lol!

[@AdilAli-ur8mz]

You're my favourite youtuber (In my mind we are married)

[@frankfeng2701]

Blackmagic 4K is still the cheapest useable cinema camera to beat.

[@BurninSven1]
