Good distinction between what should be manageable for a single shooter. Ruling out gimbals and drones for a single shooter sounds good to me (for most shoots). To be sufficiently present and get the moments you need in doc work, requires a maximum of two lenses. Unfortunately if you need to get a sit down interview on the day you’ll need more gear (reflector/diffusion at least, 1-3 lights potentially and stands). My conclusion is that it’s a team sport, and a team of two with shared responsibilities works well!

Hey Griffin, I think I have the same question as Arnold. I ordered the Smallrig parts you mentioned, and I have the EVF Support for the C200 moniotor (Smallrig #2075) mounted on my camera similar to yours, and I have the Smallrig NATO Lock Clamp (Smallrig #1254) for the Ninja V, but there seems to be no way to attach the NATO clamp to the camera. The clamp that attaches the EVF support is what it looks like you are using to make this attachment--is there a way to order just the clamp separately? Is that how you made it work? Sorry to bother you--I think this is a really slick setup, but I'm a bit stuck. Thanks!
@ArnoldLimPhoto4 жыл бұрын
I can't tell for sure, but it looks like this SmallRig rod clamp goes into the Canon top handle. www.amazon.ca/SmallRig-Single-Camera-Support-Microphone/dp/B0747P6YJ2/ref=sr_1_15?dchild=1&keywords=EVF+Support+for+the+C200+monitor&qid=1594258768&sr=8-15 Then a 2-inch rod goes into the 15mm rod goes into the rod clamp. And then right next to the rod clamp it you put the Nato clamp onto the exposed part of the two-inch Rod, and then clamp the Ninja to the Nato part of the Nato clamp. This is a guess but I went through the SmallRig pieces and that is what it looks like, but I could be wrong.

@stevet14804 жыл бұрын
Griffin and Arnold: thanks for your help on this. Sorry for the delayed response, but I had ordered the Smallrig clamp #1995 that Arnold mentioned, and didn't receive it till recently. And...it doesn't really work. Sigh. The screws included with the clamp protrude so far that I wonder what Smallrig was thinking here. Anyway, I was able to kluge a solution by hitting the hardware store and getting some socket-top threaded screws (which don't have heads to protrude) and attaching the clamp to the handle that way. Not great, as the clamp can't be locked down into the correct horizontal position---it tends to loosen up over time. Oh well. I do see the advantage to buying a second EVF kit and using that clamp, but here I am being penny-wise...I've got a note into Smallrig to see if they might sell that part separately, and, who knows, maybe they will (not likely, though....) Anyway, enough time here in the weeds of clamp technology. It's still a great camera and setup, and I'm looking forward to getting some real shooting in. Thanks again, guys!

epic video, thanks Griffin! I am considering buying into a C200 setup and all the videos you've put out have helped me get a much better idea of what i'm getting into. I come from shooting exclusively RED and have never played with the Canon cinema series, aside DSLR. when you transcode the cinema raw light files after a full day of shooting, on average, how long would you say that takes? also, I see a lot of concerns about shooting just to one CFast card, have you ever actually lost footage on a corrupt card? on RED it's the same thing for me - 1 media source - I've only had one instance where the card corrupted (luckily it was recoverable, too).
@GriffinConway4 жыл бұрын
nick korompilas what’s up Nick! Thanks for the kind words. Transcoding speed depends on your computer but on a typical day I might use two 512gb cfast cards and plug them in to my MacBook Pro (8 core, 32gb ram) and use media encoder to transcode them overnight. Usually by morning they are all done. The one and only issue I have ever had with a cfast card was with a file from my last video! Lol (the c200 vs 1dx iii video). One of the files wouldn’t import and I’m sure I could have used a recovery software to get it because it still played back in camera, but I decided to just use the 1080p proxy and upscale it. That’s a good backup plan. And if you want something higher quality, you can do what I do and use a ninja v recorder and record a 2k 10 bit 422 file as a backup. I’ve shot red as well and I think you will love the canon cinema line if your work requires run n gun or doc style shooting. Hit me up if you have any more questions! Thanks bro!

@GriffinConway4 жыл бұрын
That’s awesome! Happy to help share what I have learned with the camera. You can load luts in to the ninja v for previewing if you want. The way I actually do it usually is send a rec 709 signal to the ninja and use that footage for KZbin bts examples and as a last resort if I ever had a card failure. I realize I am sacrificing about a stop of dynamic range by doing it this way but it works for me and my workflow. It also speeds things up if I want to pull some of that footage for example footage so I don’t have to grade it in post.

Your record Cfast. Do you not record to Ninja v ? Raw and Cfast worry me about storage and computer processing. Do you prefer Raw to Prores from Ninja V? The C200 is everything I want except don't fancy using Raw but want better than mpeg4. C300mk2 would sort but pricey. Shame C200 can't export 10bit to Ninja V.

@GriffinConway4 жыл бұрын
Laurence Grant hey Laurence thanks for the questions. I don’t think they will make a c200 Mark ii for at least another 1.5 or 2 years. They are pretty slow to refresh their cinema line. The c200 can output 2k 10 bit 422 to the ninja while simultaneously recording 4K raw to the cfast. That is usually my go-to setup. I usually transcode the raw to 4K 10 bit 422 pro res after recording and it is easy to edit. For audio I record shotgun mic to channel 1 with a backup 12db lower on channel 3. I also record the lav on channel 2 with a backup on channel 4 12db lower. I don’t use the 3.5mm in for anything usually.
@laurencegrant28824 жыл бұрын
@@GriffinConway Yes, very slooooow. to up grade products. 2k to `ninja sounds a good compromise. So you actually use the Raw lite or only 'in case' and stay with the Ninja 10bit. I can't see me using the Raw especially the price of cards and the small recordings times. I'm thinking Weddings, were I need recording time but not 4K, then short commercial/ interviews where I might like to shoot in 4k and then down scale. I am getting so confused as I currently shoot Fuji/h265/Ninja pro res. On the audio. Totally agree with your idea. So each XLR has another channel to use as a safely track? Plus ? a mic 3.5 input. But you never use. Would that be used if say you where not using chan 3 and 4 I wonder. Now if C200 had 4K 10 bit to SD cards that would be great.

When you are filming a fight for example, even as little as 3 seconds for a lens change could be enough to make you miss a key shot like an unexpected knockout punch. In my experience, I have found most people that shoot fast paced run-n-gun documentaries to use zoom lenses, but that’s not to say prime lenses can’t be used. That’s why I sent the 85mm 1.4 🙌
