What’s flixzone?

[@GroovyTakeON]

absolutamente perfecto 👍

[@collinstebbins2598]

Sweet rig! Almost identical to mine except I use edelkrone’s follow focus and power module with v-mount. I’ve built up a similar rig for my R6 as well. Love it!

[@EastonBennett]

Sweet! Yeah having a rig is super nice!

[@eduardovisuals]

its epic! love seeing EOS R content and what can be achieved with it!

[@EastonBennett]

Yes sir!! This rig is so awesome

[@KeepCalmEden]

[@DirbyOne]

Wow.. just what I was looking for. Planning to build a rig for planespotting. Battery was/is the issue I was thinking about when combing through TY vids, you explained it all on 1 vid. Thanks!!!

[@EastonBennett]

Hey glad I could help! Have fun with the rig build out, they are so fun!

I do what I can. Feels good to hit upload again. Thanks for watching dude

[@robinfalck-loven7899]

Thanks for all the info! What batterie do you use on the plate in the back? I see many people are writing different stuff that the camera can overheat and stuff. I just want to be sure. Thanks again for everything!

Great Vlog, I am seriously looking for a camera to record 4 k so the information you gave me was huge, Thanks

[@EastonBennett]

Good to hear Tony! Just remember the crop😉

[@LibertyArmsCo]

Hey bro is running it in the 12v out safe? Also badass rig dude!

[@EastonBennett]

I run it in the 8v now!! Thanks my man 🤘🏻😊

[@Reaper22086]

Cool video man but can you mention something about your sound what about your microphone? Or did I miss something. Lol

[@EastonBennett]

Rig video so no audio included. Mic I use is a Rode NTG5

[@ryanbishop3586]

Great rig man!

[@EastonBennett]

Thanks dude!!

[@whistlingfrogmedia3411]

Great rig, same as mine but I connect the camera dummy battery to the 8v out (camera) from my tilta battery plate. I was told the 12v would be too much as camera battery is only 7.2volt . Any thoughts?

[@EastonBennett]

Honestly no idea, but sounds legit 😅

[@TheMash84]

You are right, never connect it to 12V, you will risk frying your camera in seconds. If it works it's because the dummy battery converts the voltage to 8V, but it's very risky as if the voltage regulation of the dummy fails you're going to fry your camera.

[@FactTalkOfficial]

Nice brother!!

[@EastonBennett]

Thank you my guy!

[@FactTalkOfficial]

@@EastonBennett Welcome bro!

Nice man!!

[@EastonBennett]

Thanks for watching dude I appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@azzznar2486]

Hey dude, nice video. I have a canon Eos rp, and i'm having some troubles founding cages for this exacto model. Do you know if a Cage for the canon r5 or r6 would work for the rp?

[@EastonBennett]

B&H sells one for $80🤘🏻

[@TheGuyArts]

Great video. Is there any possibility of adding the camera grip?

[@EastonBennett]

Yup. Is it not on the kit page? I’ll check!!

[@EastonBennett]

Or do you mean battery grip for bottom of camera?

[@TheGuyArts]

@@EastonBennett yes, that's what I mean

[@visionarywatts]

This was very helpful!

[@EastonBennett]

Glad it helped watts. Build yourself an EOS R rig 😉

[@visionarywatts]

Easton Bennett whoa, let’s not get carried away here!!!!

[@EastonBennett]

Okay fair enough

[@AaronWilhite]

Great stuff my man! I'm wanting to build out my A7SIII when it gets here and you definitely gave me some solid pointers.

[@EastonBennett]

Dude if you do any handheld shooting and want it to look a little bit better handheld, this set up is unreal

[@DanielFilms1]

Best rig for the EOS R I’ve seen! Are you able to mount this on a tripod?

[@EastonBennett]

Yup!! Depends on what plate you have but the rails have mounts on the bottom off of the base that the cage is attached to. Thanks for the kind words dude!!

[@DanielFilms1]

@@EastonBennett Awesome! Also do you have the link for the battery adapter @ 11:15 ?

[@EastonBennett]

Yup! If you got to kit.co/eastonbennett there is a whole kit with all of the pieces for the build!!

[@DanielFilms1]

@@EastonBennett So I fully got this rig and I ran into one problem I’m hoping you can help me with. I took off the cameras battery door and inserted the dummy battery, but the EOS R won’t turn on without the battery door on it. How’d you get yours to work?

[@EastonBennett]

There is a little plastic piece you put the cord in. Shoot me an insta DM and I can show you EastonBennett2

[@SamHolland]

Cool video bro! Awesome Spanish! 😂👌🏻

[@EastonBennett]

Thanks my guy 😂 it needs some work

[@followraul]

Hey man, did you say with that cable from atomos you can record 4K at 60fps on the eos R? I have a similar rig but I must not have the right cable. I can only record 4K at 24 & 30 when recording from the monitor. Thanks in advance.

[@EastonBennett]

The EOS R doesn’t allow for 4k 60, but that cable will be able to record 4k60 from cameras that offer it, like the R5 or R6

[@Pickupstix24]

considering that a Canon EOS R runs on 7.2V, have you had any issues running it on the 12V socket from the battery plate? The R10 is the same and i was a bit worried about overpowering it, shortening the lifespan. Also the Ninja V is roughly an 8V input that you plugged into a Dtap which is listed as a 14.8V supply. So kinda the same question there. Oh, and gracias por el contenido.

[@EastonBennett]

I actually started running it from the 8v port! Haven’t had any issues 🤘🏻

[@Pickupstix24]

@Easton Bennett the truly unfortunate side is that this battery plate as well as the smallrig version only have 1 8v port available.

[@EastonBennett]

Yeah it does suck. Wish there was an easier work around

[@Pickupstix24]

@Easton Bennett question. Have you had issues with your eos r running off those battery packs? I installed one for my r10 and now the video is jumpy and wierd. Haven't changed any settings.

[@TheFilmCouple_]

That HDMI allows 4k 10bit at 60fps to the Ninja? I thought it was just 29.97...

[@EastonBennett]

No it doesn’t allow 4k 60 on the R, but it would for a camera that allows 4k 60 like the R6 or R5!

[@take2studio187]

Awesome video. I’m rigging my R5 the same way you rigged this. One question. When you plug your dummy canon battery to the v mount plate, you said you plugged into a 12volt output. Isn’t that too much wattage for the camera. I assumed you had to have and 8volt outlet on the battery plate an order to power the camera. Has it been working ok for you with it hooked to 12?

[@EastonBennett]

There is an 8volt and a couple 12volts and I haven’t had a problem with the 12v at all!!

[@TheMash84]

You should connect the dummy to a 8V output. The camera is not designed to receive a 12V power supply and the risk to damage the electronics is very likely. If it didn't happen I guess it's because the dummy battery lowers the voltage to 8V by itself. Not all the dummy batteries do this so please be careful or you're going to fry your camera! Plug it on the 8V to avoid any potential issues.

[@YoussefHallouly]

I guess this adds more stabilisation to your videos, which part do you think adds the most stabilisation ?

[@EastonBennett]

I think the whole rig being heavier really helps with stabilizing, but if I had to pick one item it would have to be the handle. Just getting that wider grip helps a ton!!

[@YoussefHallouly]

@@EastonBennett Nice i have a handle also but no cage, im thinking about getting that cage to add more stability, wondering if will still be able to mount my camera on my peak design capture clip with the cage though

[@EastonBennett]

Should be able to put your capture clip on the bottom of the cage!! Need that cage to hook that handle too and it’ll be mint!!

[@YoussefHallouly]

@@EastonBennett nice for the moment i have the handle on the hot shoe of my camera but im scared, lol, i feel like it’s unstable, thanks ill get one pretty soon :)

[@EastonBennett]

Sounds great my mine, keep grinding. Appreciate you watching the vid :)

[@K.N.D.]

What Len do you have on that eosr and is it good for filming?

[@EastonBennett]

Canon 24-70 sigma. I love it!

[@HumbertoAbed]

Great video! Thank you for sharing. Have you updated anything on that rig? I shoot with a EOS R and just got my first cage. I'm looking for options and would like to buy just one of everything. meaning, you expend in one thing just to realize there's a better / lighter / cheaper / wathever version out there and you buy it. Now you have 2 and don't use one =/

[@EastonBennett]

I’ve got everything I need for this rig I think! Just no place to mount a microphone but I can put that on the cage cold shoe. Thanks for watching though. Are you liking your rig?

[@HumbertoAbed]

@@EastonBennett yes, linking it a lot! Lots of possibilities

[@EastonBennett]

Dope man good to hear!! Let me know if there is anything I can help you with!

[@RosesUnread]

I heard you could run 4k60 with an external monitor on the EOS R. Is this true?

[@EastonBennett]

Haven’t been able to do that on my end. Have you confirmed this? Would love that feature 🤘🏻

[@RosesUnread]

@@EastonBennett sadly no, e-mailed Canon. Only 4K30 10 bit

Is this the same rig you have for the r6 now?

[@EastonBennett]

Yes sir 🫡

That’ll be a subscribe for me boss. this is super helpful thank you! Been running AF on a gimbal since I started filming but it’s time to upgrade! This was spot on

[@EastonBennett]

Thanks for the sub dude! More content coming 2021

[@marcvictoria1414]

How the tilta battery plate handling the batteries? I used another plate, can't relent the brand and it would not lock down and the battery would never lock in well. The loose battery shorted out my A7Sii hence the R5 purchase. Any problems?

[@EastonBennett]

My tilta battery plate has been amazing. Haven’t had one problem with it.

[@marcvictoria1414]

@@EastonBennett damn... there's another 150 spent

[@EastonBennett]

Hahah I hear ya. I always say buy once cry once. You won’t regret having it. So many port options. I plug in my monitor, camera, and follow focus

[@glass6160]

Isn't the 12v too much for camera? Do you have a 7v?

[@EastonBennett]

Honestly I have no idea. It’s never been a problem 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@JustBCA]

I'm not quite sure I understand how you can record 10 bit video with an HDMI output from a camera that naturally does not put out 10 bit. I mean is that considered upscaling or upresing or some form of trickery similar to those two things. It never made sense to me.

[@EastonBennett]

Yeah not entirely sure! It just doesn’t support internally but it can push it to the Ninja V!

[@TilakLimbachia]

Hey man for the tilta baseplate can you mount it upright with the original 15mm rod attached thanks

[@EastonBennett]

The V-mount baseplate? That is mounting vertical correct?

[@TilakLimbachia]

@@EastonBennett yeh does it not mount vertical? Like do you need the adapter

[@EastonBennett]

The adapter it comes with does not allow it to mount vertical so you have to purchase a different one

[@TilakLimbachia]

@@EastonBennett that’s what I was looking for lol thanks bought the mini block plate instead

[@EastonBennett]

Yes!! Sorry for the late reply. It should be linked on the kit page though!!

[@Roberto-lc6yz]

HI, is the eos r's screen fully articulating inside of the the small rig?

[@EastonBennett]

It can be if you don’t have the battery plate so close! I keep my battery plate close so I have to move it when I want to flip out the screen

[@thequarrylegendgaming5489]

Is the focus system wireless? How does the know connect to the piece that changes the focus ring?

[@EastonBennett]

The wheel and the other attachment that moves the lens are Bluetooth! Then the piece that moves the lens attaches to a v-mount battery
