Anybody else got a cage system? What do you think??

[@graham_white]

you can get a small little mount bracket and swap that handle to the other side fairly easy I do it with that exact cage I think. it gets a bit annoying switching to photo though.

[@MayurMahapatraFilms]

I got the one.. but without the Arri supported top handle.. it’s just a regular one but serves the purpose.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Looking cool in front of our clients is definitely the real reason!

[@matthewpaquette]

the size of your camera matters!

[@ReganRoss]

I don't know. I rigged my kit out to get a lot better stabilization. It worked. The added weight and grip points made a huge difference. The look was a bonus for me. :)

[@ArinaKimCinematicVlog]

Lovely set-up! Great! Glad to meet another fujifilm user 👏😀😍

[@johnnyluu]

Just started filming more handheld work with the cage…honestly considering retiring from my gimbal at this point LOL

[@matthewpaquette]

Handheld is the way to go!!

[@calumetdarren]

This is the ultimate run and gun XT4 cinema set up. All that power packed into a small package. I recommend getting the Rode Videomic NTG if you forget to turn off the power on your mic haha. It has auto power on and off. Anyways, I liked your video and subscribed to your channel!

[@professionalpotato4764]

My main gripe with this cage is the poor 1/4 holes on the bottom. They should have designed it such that you could screw in 2 places for a secure fit on manfrotto plates. I think the XT4 would be much better off with a battery grip + cage, or a V-mount as you suggested. It guzzles power like crazy.

[@phildoherty]

I second that gripe. Is there a workaround? I purchased a SR cheeseplate hoping that would to the trick but nope!

[@zachjack]

Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine, Gotta, gotta be down, because I want it all

[@matthewpaquette]

I love this 😂

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

10bit 60fps crushes my PC so hard it's not even funny. Time to get an RTX card!

[@ondrejjanoska660]

If you not gaming....iMac would be the cheaper and more ecstatically pleasing option

[@matthewpaquette]

Interesting! What are you running?

[@alexjames421]

Very funny video and also very useful! Thanks

[@Cyclo2k]

I got the small rig universal 15mm rod baseplate for this setup but I’ve been having a lot of trouble with the camera coming loose. The small rig cage only allows for one screw with the baseplate due to the spacing of the holes, and this one screw doesn’t prevent the camera from swiveling a little left and right and eventually getting way too loose. any advice?

[@RCWolfFPV]

Oooooo yes good to see you on the fuji xt 4 boat!, 😊

[@impatrickt]

I guess I need a matte box

[@chrisbrockhurst]

How else are you going to be cinematic.

[@MayurMahapatraFilms]

I also got the small rig set up recently.. with Liliput monitor which supports 4K 60p..

[@Shootwithhunndo]

Bro! I have the XT3 and did the exact same thing. I have a battery upgrade i think you’ll love! Where can i message you?

[@Nath.Heimberg]

Starting out with the Canon M50 i really did have to get a cage to look serious 😂 Actually i‘m pretty sure you could have reversed the side handle and put it on the other side. Works with mine and looks the same 🤔 Cool idea for a vid and great thoughts. Thanks for sharing! Still jealous of that RED… 😉

[@SurajBoddu]

This was great and I watched the whole thing and you mentioned Ibis but I couldn't figure out if you had it turned on while shooting the tests?

[@matthewpaquette]

Yup 🙃

[@danvid1587]

The footage doesn´t look very nice to me to be honest (2:15). I own the Fujifilm X-T4 myself with the 16-55 f2.8 and the video capabilities are dope. Seems to me that you forgot your ND-filters and the highlights look blown out. But the footage in your other videos about the X-T4 look so much better. Nevertheless another great video, love the cage build.

[@matthewpaquette]

time of day my dude

[@danvid1587]

@@matthewpaquette Yes you're right. Didn't think it would make such a big difference.

[@ffdlife]

Amazing Kit, i think i'll buy it. Thx for the review

[@KhariConception]

Truth

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Interesting! Nice kit. Nice video. ✌️

[@DoctorNobody]

Nice review @mattewpaquette , how did you make to attach the micro hdmi cable with the cage on, and the not removable door hatch in xt4?

[@Brute4rce1111]

Cool setup! Is the memory slot door fully accessible on the smallrig?

[@paulbeckmann]

Great video:)

[@NightVisionOfficial]

i don't see that SmallRig on amazon :c

[@user-dh5fp4gw1b]

Hello i really really need some help, i bought the mini matte box for my 2 tamron lenses with a 67 thread. I have a step up ring to 72mm for all of my filters. Will this work with the matte box?!?!! I really dont know how you can get the step up ring plus the matte box ring and filters

[@timothywilliamrose]

Easter eggs/sneak peaks

[@matthewpaquette]

Hehehe

[@HakunaHisTatas]

I also ran into the same problem with not being able to shoot 4K 60 with this kinda rig, anyone know why?

[@Iamquiroga]

Love the Fuji XT4 but the AF is a real hit or miss! Sometimes it doesn’t fail me and other times it just doesn’t work lol what are you settings for AF or you shot manual?

[@JoseHerrerawl]

please don't shoot poor Manuel, he didn't do anything wrong!

[@Iamquiroga]

[@FracnoTV]

Your camera rig is so BIG step bro.

[@matriximaster]

Why shoot in anything but 24?

[@YannickReid]

A top heavy rig is maddeningly annoying

[@InternetofZach]

Cages are so 2021

[@shqipdonsalijaj]

If you don't look cool in front of your clients, I'm sorry but you're a bad filmmaker
