Canon M50 Pro Video Setup | Small Rig Cage and Accessories

[@chowtimewithruss1411]

I just bought the M50 and I knew I was going to like it, but you take it to another level. A lot of great information and a great job on the video. Well done, Sir!

[@LuigiTuazon]

I love the fact that when you add a cage, it will look really intimidating to other people 😂

[@genevievince8567]

If you haven't done so already, I would love a video on the suggested lenses one can consider for the M50. Thank you for a great video!

[@danielvergara5802]

Yes, please!

[@THEMATT222]

just get an adapter

[@marroquinjonathan88]

I use the sigma 18-35 1.8. I think its a great overall lense for pics and videos.

[@SixXGaming]

Get a 25mm a 50mm and a variable/macro lense. Look for f/1.8 or lower

[@crixis8684]

Get this adapter www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K7CQCCN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and then you can use ANY canon lense. The nifty fifty lense is the best for all around everything. Canon 50mm 1.4 (you wont need the 1.2 with the speedboost / adapter and the diff in cost to quality is dumb. the 1.2 50mm gives you a huge price increase vs 1.4) you can buy another adapter that lets you take any lense and reverse it for Macro shots (only like 10 bucks for the adapter) which is pretty cool and cost way less then having a seperate macro lense.

[@nicoletiana]

I have the M50 with a 11-22mm lens! Such a great combo for sit down videos and vlogging.

[@mauibuilder1239]

It is important to point out that not all Canon cameras support LCD screen mirroring, meaning if you connect an external monitor via HDMI your LCD screen shuts off and you lose touch to focus except possibly via Canon connect on your smartphone or iPad. I believe that applies to all APS-C models below the 7D mark ii. I learned that the hard way with my Canon 80d. The EOS R, 5D mark iii and iv, and 1 DX mark ii have screen mirroring.

[@JOMprodBeta]

i read this and almost fainted as I just ordered a monitor...but I have the EOS R....so I should be good...right? RIGHT??? (panics)

[@John69420]

@@JOMprodBeta according to his comment. I guess you are alright :)

[@andreaturbolz3542]

OrganicFarmer 95% of the time I shot with “one point autofocus” (sorry I don’t remember the English translation). So if the M50 touchscreen goes black is not a problem. It’s better for batteries. I must also say I usually use a variable ND filter. In daylight I set up shutterspeed, and iso, and then I keep this values fixed for most of the day, just changing the nd filter intensity. So the M50 black screen is not a problem. The external monitor is fantastic to set the correct filter value.

[@ryanwilson5936]

Use a touch screen monitor.....

[@MeAndMyOpinions_OverYours]

@@JOMprodBeta you cud have used a Viktor wireless shutter. and put AF in paused mode. and use the focus as like a manual Auto focus by using the remote.

[@juzzonmorris]

Great rig & video as airways! Is it possible to view both screens simultaneously, with the monitor connected and running?

[@pruett89]

I love the M50 and I'm gonna finally get a cage. I wanna build out a nice "rig" - great video

[@lukogs]

I had a case of judgements. I share my story here. I own Canon SL2. I went to my buddy's sister marriage. I took my camera to capture the crucial moments of the marriage. The photographers ( In India there will be 2 photographers, 1 - groom side, 1 - bride side ). They both laughed at me seeing my Small APS-C while they had Canon 5D IV, NIKON high end bulky stuffs etc.. Keep in mind they had 4 strobes, 2 Halogen Video light (umbrella settings)... I snapped some pictures. After some weeks, I shared my photos to my buddy, while the photographers delivered after 2 months (only some pictures were edited). The family loved my pictures. I was told that mine was way better than the "professional photographers". They regret their marriage photos took by professionals, spending about nearly 900 USD which were not even good, while my small, mere canon 200D had great pictures of them which they got free of cost. That was the moment come true for the words spoken by many KZbinrs "The only gear matters is what you have". I admit, when I saw the "professionals" in the marriage i thought "oh, the family wouldn't even bother to see mine". But the story completely flipped.

[@PVMMAC]

Great job on the photos, camera is only part of the equation, the person using it completes it ... Sl2 is great cam... I had it and sold it because I got an 80d , but I actually liked sl2 look even over 80d. I now have m5/50 but still miss that little sl2 beast :)

[@KingGlinton]

Just because someone or people get paid to capture images of someone else's special moments doesn't mean that they are good at it. I have friends that get paid tons of loot to do crappy work. I'm ok at it but I've never had complaints at all.

[@vipinshreshth2816]

Ok?

Thanks. I would love to see the video test for Canon M50 with Ninja V

well done! as a first time owner ( purchased used, just for my new channel) you hit it on point .. out of the park.. well done, Im looking forward to more info that will help me.. thank you !!

do you have a link to the small ball mount for the monitor?

waiting for my M50 to arrive @ house...great info!

Nice one! I just got an M6 MarkII and was looking for some great accessories, this vid the trick! 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥

[@Range-Report]

You've got a very comfortable presentation Brandon. Nice work.

[@ahart228]

Video is nice with this camera. But the audio is generally terrible, I find. Even with some of the Rode mics I’ve tried. How did you get good audio with this system?

[@in_our_60s]

Hi Bro! Firstly, super awesome ViDeO! 📽 1. How is the Monitor if you were at the BeAcH ⛱️ (can u c a clear pic.?) 2. Because I plan to be taking pictures of Tourist on the beach ⛱️ should I buy it? Is it worth it? 3. Is there a Shade that I can SmallRig? ❤ 2 U, I learned a lot from U 💯%

[@elzzird23]

Thanks for the video . What are you doing to extend battery life on this ?

[@vaz1977]

awesome video i don't see a link for the monitor thats in the video. what monitor do you recommend. I'm new to youtube so all the info you can give i will greatly appreciate it... thanks

[@snowwalker9999]

Have you tried an external recorder with the M50 instead of just a monitor?

[@furiousrobinson]

What lenses are you using for point and shoot video? Dropped a like!

[@HowieD1975]

what are you using as a tripod while shooting video?

[@RandyWHorton]

great info! i bought the M50 and use it for live streaming connect direct to my macbook pro with only a usb cable.

[@ivani6311]

It doesn’t stop filming after 30 min ? Thx

you made the wrong decision :)

Have any test videos ?

Hey! Do you have a link for the piece to connect the monitor to the top handle?

[@Hitnrun69ify]

Another well put together video brother, I also have all those same accessories. Question for you on that M50. Have done any updates on the camera? And if so how did you do this or can do a video on it? Thanks

[@kapriway4865]

The top handle in your video is not the same top handle you linked. Can you confirm?

[@hakbutta8873]

best len for m50 podcast?

[@SGardner11]

I bought this rig cause your suggestion man! Only thing I'm wondering is there a left handle option? I cant see how one would mount. Any suggestions?

[@braydenspears6985]

Can I put a tripod on with the small rig cage ?

[@josephrivera2062]

Outstanding!!! You’ve explained it so clear I basically took notes and got everything already in the shopping cart ready for checkout! Thanks for the help!

[@Tacomaholic]

Anyone know what mic he has attached to that setup?

[@marcusbarido]

Have you tried Atomos Ninja V with the M50? How did that work? There is no video about that on KZbin, if you do one would be a first and a hit!

[@cathlainetea]

It's pretty cool . I'm using m50 . I might buy the cage . 🤔

[@BrookedeRosa]

I am a newbie can I ask a very stupid question? I have the canon m50 and just got the smallrig case. It’s not here yet. How do you attach the bottom of the smallrig case to your plate for tripod? Any advice appreciated thank you!

[@AdamDumaguin]

do you have sample video using the side handle for handheld shots?

[@drperazacisneros]

Great advice, what lense "overall" you recommend to do videos ? Im a super beginner on this but getting better small steps but I wanna go to the next level,... which one you would recommend to do social media ads or funny videos like music songs parody's and what not, thanks in advance

[@euroamericabusiness]

what about the HDMI cable clamp to secure it....? are you using one...?

[@cjonwickham1933]

I just got similar m50 setup too bro...smallrig and neewer are great companies among rest.

[@andreaturbolz3542]

Hi. Just one question. Why You choose the handle on the right?where do You grip on the left side? Is this configuration comfortable? Suppose is easier in this way to hold the camera with the right hand and change the variable Nd filter with the left hand.

[@bwashmedia]

It was just a personal preference but they have options for both

[@andreaturbolz3542]

Brandon Washington Tanks.I know they have both options. But Your set up is “unusual”. Are you lefty or is easiest, with the handle on the right and an ND filter, to control the M50? (ask You again cos I don’t want to buy the wrong setup). Tanks

[@naijafootballphotographer]

Hi Mr Washington. I must say that you're a GREAT MAN. I want to know if the M50 has a clean HDMI output? I mean if the LCD graphics will not appear on the monitor. Please do well to reply me.

[@WideAngleLuis]

My question is that I was looking into the company Custom Battery Grip because it has a holster to put in the batteries to keep your camera charged at all times. But Ive always loved the Smallrig company's version of the rig cage just cuz you can add more attachments. BUT the question I have is, how are you gonna keep your camera charged or attest hooked to a battery at all times? Do you just swap batteries or do you have a setup? I would love to know so I can avoid purchasing the Custom Battery Grip Brand Rig Cane and just settle for Small Rig instead. My main concern on the decision making is battery life.

[@Lilc-hm2uv]

Brandon - Does the smallrig accomodate the speedboaster or the EF-to-EOS-M adapter?

[@f.i.t.collective4808]

L. ilc it should. There’s no interference in the front

[@cammac66]

What's the weight brother? Can a ronin sc handle that thanks

[@Headmentalist]

Hello 👋🏻 Well I am looking forward to buy NINJA V. But before that I got few questions in my head. 1- I got canon M-50 MARK 2 ,so is it compatible with Ninja V 2- My only reason to my NINJA V is because I wanna record 1 hour video @1080@60 with M50 MARK 2, So it that possible to continuously record for 1 hour. PLEASE DO ANSWER ME TO THIS.

Since you've gone to Sony did you dump the M50? or are you still using it as a crash cam/B cam since it looks like a sweet small rig for microbudget/low budget productions. Checked the M50's footage from your buddy Justin Reves and its looks great.
