I hope this tutorial about how I built up my Canon SL3 rig was helpful. Did it help you or give you some good ideas? Let me know what you think!! Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏

Picked up one of those 128G Sandisk cards. Loving my sl3 so far but it only came with 2x 32G cards. Looking into getting the cage and the handle but the rest of it looks a little out of my reach for right now.

I love your videos cause your reviews are honest. You are the only guy that didn't say a negative thing about the SL3 and tottaly believe it cause I own an SL2 and I'm way satisfied with what this camera can offer me.

Great video!! Now I'm here in 2022 and can't find this cage ANYWHERE. Does anyone know where I can find ANY cage that fits my SL3??

This video's damn good, I myself bought a Moza Air 3 Axis Gimbal, RODE VideoMic GO, RODE Smartlav+ (w/ SC3 adapter & SC1 6m extender cable), 10-18mm lens, 50mm lens, backup battery and a few Extreme Pro SD cards for my SL3 (200DII where I live) - I don't film for super long periods of time so it works good for now 😄

This is pretty awesome. I guess the key to it all (for unlimited recording time) is the Atomos Ninja. But I had no idea you could get clean HDMI out of an SL3. Way cool.

[@croccustom]

Great tutorial. I rigged one of these cameras out myself. Unfortunately I could not find a full camera cage. It is now unavailable . So I used a half cage that I got on line and 3D printed from the file. The rig turned out great but one major problem is that the HDMI cable protrudes out on one side. Problem with the half cage is that I couldn't attach an out board handle. Still trying to solve that problem.

[@SubhadipTalukdar]

Damn my camera really got something interesting. Thank you

[@callywolk3875]

[@alphaw1748]

I am a beginner to photography and looking for a budget camera that I can use for learning photography and videography. At the same time, I would like to use the same camera for the initial years of my career in wedding and portrait photography. I love SL3 and it is within my budget as well. But, not sure whether it will serve my above-said purpose. Please help me. Should I go for SL3 or could you please recommend me some other cameras as well. Thank you

[@christopherdewitt2425]

I'm a very new to videography and this looks like a great setup and exactly like what I'm looking for. My only question is whether you've had any issues with the Atmos Ninja V with Canon SL3 as it's not called out as a 'compatible' camera on their website. Thanks again for the video, very easy to understand and informative!

[@SB-zt9pr]

I bought one after watching your review! Bless!!!🙏

[@TechGearTalk]

Good choice! Thanks for being part of the channel!

[@juliotrigo204]

Hey Sagi, great video once again!!! This rig is similar to the M50 which just tells me it’s a great rig that gives you everything you need for a cinematic cheap camera. Keep up the good work!!

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks Clarence. It does have the huge advantage of the external recorder with the clean HDMI output. Thank you for the continued support 🙏

What are the best settings when recording video? Should I shoot a flat video and color grade later? or try to go for the look I want in camera? what would give the best results? Right now I'm having an issue with either over exposure at some areas or image noise.

[@NotTopic]

Extremely informative. My only issue is the title led me to believe I was going to find out how to shoot longer video clips than 29 minutes.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you! I’m sorry - the video does show how to record for longer than 29 mins - but it can only be done externally. I can see how it could be confusing. I appreciate the feedback 🙏🏻

[@jon112media]

I thought the bonus material at the end was a good touch! I originally bought my eos RP (my first camera) this past May mainly for pictures then also for some video recording. But at this time I’ve began to desire to break through the 30 minute limit. Maybe one day I can purchase my respective cage to mount the battery solution, ninja V, and external audio. Thanks as always for the video!

[@TechGearTalk]

Appreciate you sharing and the feedback regarding the bonus material!

[@kenjohnson530]

Hey man, I enjoyed this video because you explained things I needed to know. I got the sl3 and want to learn more about it. I got to check the cage you have around the camera, I would love to fix up my camera like that. I would like to hear back from you on the cage you have around the camera.

Hello. Any Idea where to get this Small Rig for SL3 now days? Seems to be discontinued. Thanks

[@brunoallegri7970]

Awesome video. When i'm recording in bright places sometimes I'm not able to watch what's happening, because the LCD reflects too much light . Do you think the monitor can help it ? It's possible to up the brightening of my LCD ? Thanks

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks Bruno - You can increase the brightness in SETUP 2 ->DISP BRIGHTNESS. This recorder (and other monitors) can be brighter than the camera, regardless. You can also add a sunshade.

Thank you for the amazing rig idea. Have been completely stuck in figuring out how to proceed with a camera body update - bought the BMPCC 6k Pro and quickly returned it due to no autofocus. I have an SL3 but the 2.64 crop factor for 4k is a huge problem. Had never considered getting the Ninja V or V*+. Almost there, just need your help with one more piece of the puzzle. Does the SL3 HDMI 4k output include the 2.64 crop factor or does it give us the full APS-C sensor size? I can’t tell you how happy I will be if you tell me it’s the full sensor!! Thanks for your help

[@nevillelobo]

Love your videos. Well shot, very detailed and you don't waste any time and get straight to the point. May I ask how are you doing your pan movements? Automatic slider or you have a camera man?

[@bandgplus3]

Great video! Can you monitor your audio with headphones while using the external mic jack? You couldn't do that on the Canon T5s, so I'm wondering if this camera fixed that issue.

[@RyanLennoxBradley]

I use the sl2 because you get 24fps in 1080 so I can use dual pixel af. But as always, the video was great

One thing I find confusing when looking at cages is the various standards 1/4 20 vs nato rail vs the third standard. I don't feel comfortable ordering a cage with accessories. Especially comparing smallrig at $120 vs Uurig for half the price. How do one know which parts fit without zooming in on e-store images and still roll the dice.

So you kind of lost me with the battery section of the video. Can I use a power bank into the SL3 USB ...to power the SL3 when the battery is low or is depleted?

[@kennykedits]

Kind of a old video, But i was wondering on getting the sl3 over the m50. I did endless looking at reviews but people pointed me different ways. Snice you had both which one would you recommend for car cinematics slow/fast , Mostly video focus but will also main as cam for still pic, Then when chilling i want to use it as a webcam. So a good all around camera, Which makes me believe the SL3 would be the answer but I'm lost in the information. If you think a different camera is better suited then please spill but i am buying used for around 400 to 500 USD. If you do answer this then thanks but i dont expect one on a old video.

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi Kenny, either the SL3 or the M50 MK II will work great for what you're describing. I would pick the M50MKII because of the EVF for photos. Hope that helps.

Do you recommend this camera over others at about a $500 price point used mainly for KZbin live stream?

[@DAVIDVAGNETTIPE]

Hey, brother, that was awesome; I am building the same rig right now. I have a couple of questions. Is the Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens any good for video recording. Will it compensate some for the 4k crop of the sl3? I am doing the same thing but trying to use coiled cables whenever I can. You have like 50ft on extra line over there, Lol. Also, how can I learn more about how to use the Ninja V. I did order it, but Atomos website is more of a glorified brochure, and they are definitely concentrated on things that I don't care about and do not understand right now anyway. Which camera would you buy next if you only had the SL3? That records 4k without crop and without all the output limitations. It has to cost less than $3,000, and I would like to keep using the EF lenses. It also needs to exploit the power of the Ninja V as much as it can. You can give me options. Thanks, brother, I am an affiliate marketer myself, and I am buying everything through your links so that you can keep helping us out!

I mainly make cooking videos in my kitchen, but starting to make content also outside (Like interviews). I like Fuji because it's 120FPS in FullHD, real 4K, 16:9 ratio and bigger touchscreen, but I have 2 major doubts, and maybe you can help me: 1. Can't find anywhere if Phase detection Autofocus system in Fuji is as good as Dual Pixel in Canon. 2. Can't find anywhere if HDMI from TX200 is also a clean HDMI like SL3, or is mor like a M50 HDMI. What do you think? Thanks a lot for your help.
