I was inspired by this, and did much the same with my own A6500. So, many thanks. The result looks awesome. But I did find some limitations that I had to get around: 1. Even with the lightest of V-mount batteries, this thing is HEAVY, and weighted towards the back. It was fine on a tripod, which is how I plan mainly to use it. But I would probably not want to use it hand-held unless I were Jack Reacher. I have 2 classic video cameras that I can use for that anyway. 2. With the V-Mount battery's covering the back of the camera as you have there, it is nigh-on impossible to use the camera's own LCD or viewfinder. And with the A6500, you need that LCD. There are several touch screen features you need on there, plus the A6500 will not display camera settings on an HDMI external monitor like my Ninja V. I tried having the LCD set horizontally, but that worked only in ideal conditions. In the end, I remounted the battery hanging down below the rig, and as far back as possible to avoid snagging the tripod on a tilt or pan.
@chadwin2 жыл бұрын
awesome, sounds like you ended up building a really great rig for your a6500! Yes--using v-mount batteries always adds A LOT of weight, however it also adds a lot of stability when doing handheld work. It does make it so you have to balance your tripod head a little bit different but you get used to it. As far as the LCD goes--yes, it definitely sucks having it covered up. What I usually do is just end up scooting the battery back far enough so I can clearly see it and tap on it when needed.

Texas Best Construction unfortunately you can’t use the ND throttle with native Sony lenses. It can only be used to adapt other lenses because it puts space between the lens and the body, whereas Sony lenses can’t do that. You just have to use screw on Nd filters or a matte box with Sony glass

Using the "SmallRig NATO Top Handle HTN2439" on top of their cage (with a NATO rail), I'm gonna use the BUM2448 Arm in the front of the handle like you did for your monitor, then the BSE2346 Monitor mount right behind that in the coldshoe for the Shinobi.

Have you had any problems using a follow focus on lenses mounted to a dslr? I seem to be getting slight movement on the lens both up and down when pulling focus on my rig.

Owen Simpson yes, depending on the camera and cage I’m using, the focus motor will shift the lens up and down some. With my A7s it was the worse. But with my Pocket 6k and X-T4 it really doesn’t move. Take a look at your cage and base connections to see where it’s giving and allowing it to move. The lens support might just be necessary for your rig!

yes, you can definitely use longer rails and add a matte box with this setup! Thanks for watching!

Great setup! But... how do you take S&Q 120fps slomo with the Atomos Ninja V attached? When I tried to do so, I always got the camera monitor display info icons in the footage :-(
@chadwin4 жыл бұрын
Rolf Scheffer the ninja v cannot record 120p. It maxes out at 60p unfortunately....

So this 50mm on a crop cam like this Sony will be 75mm FF equivalent?
@chadwin4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, exactly! I forgot to mention the crop factor. I have many lenses though and also use the 24mm and 16mm rokinon lenses on my a6500.

@@chadwin Thanks, I just got a a6600 for 1k new on Craigslist..too good to pass up. Thinking about building a rig like this but I think the 24mm would be better for that 35mm equivalent field of view.
@chadwin4 жыл бұрын
Andrew Freeman that’s a really good deal! I’ve been wanting to get the a6600 used also! Yes the 24mm would be a great option for basic field of view.

Can I connect ssd directly to camera
@chadwin4 жыл бұрын
No. You can do that with the Pocket 4k/6k and Z Cams, but not the Sony cams. You need an external recorder like the Atomos Ninja V

I see a lot of 14.8V connections for batteries, are these more for higher end cameras like URSA’s or RED’s that need more power? Is that 8V thing you’re specifying specific to smaller cameras like the sony? I’m just wondering because I’m on an a6500 now, but I plan on going BMPCC 6k in the next 6 months or so, and URSA G2 in like a year, so I wanna buy gear now thats as universal and future proof as it can possibly be, even if it means getting stuff thats a little overkill at the moment

Ohhh you said 8V OR LOWER, as in its ok to plug it into 7.something port?

But but... there is something wrong with your dummy battery link you provided 😮... the one you are using has a male end.. the link you provided has a female end? Where did you get the one with the male end to plug into the plate?
@chadwin4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, it's actually a 2 part equation. 1st you need the dummy battery adapter, which I have linked. It separates in half actually so you don't have to plug it into a wall. Then you need the barrel connector cable that comes with the Fotga V mount plate or Tilta v-mount plate. With both of those cables combined, you'll be ready to rock!

Does the SmallHD Micro HDMI to HDMI allow external 4K recording into the Atomos? Always thought those cables were just made for monitoring not recording.

Kenneth Willim yeah, I know there are some cables that only do 1080p. But all the ones I’ve ever bought were on amazon and worked with 4k fine.
