GH5 Cinema Set-up & Tests

My recommended camera gear kit.co/TomAntos
Today, I unbox and set up my new camera, the Panasonic GH5! I ended up building a monster of a rig, but one that can deliver cinematic quality. So, I went out to film with it, using anamorphic lenses, the Atomos Ninja Inferno, as well as other cool accessories!

11:47 "This cheap little camera" Now I feel even more poor than before I saw the video😂💔

[@Ashershridh]

Fuck haha

[@andrewsvj4606]

Can u send me a camera.

[@startupoutdoors9474]

That put me down hahah I been looking to buy for months can’t seem to build the courage to swipe!!

[@MoosaMate]

I thought I am the only who thought of that when he said it!

[@lacythompsonjr5209]

Tom, this has to be one of the best examples of super high production values for KZbin reviews or for that matter, any video. I'm watching on a recent LG OLED monitor in UHD and every shot is tack on for focus, Color looks great. Lighting and exposure look stellar. Audio is perfect. Certainly am going to come back to this as a benchmark for work (audio tutorials) I will be doing. Was particularly blown away by the outdoor shot where to Atomos monitor was virtually indistinguishable from the actual scent in both light level and color fidelity. We are truly lucky to be living in a time where such high quality tools are available. It's nice to see someone actually use these tools at such a high level. Thanks for your reviews. I enjoy them!

[@LeeZavitz]

The inferno rips through f970 batteries. I did a test and it ranges between 30-45mins per battery. Thats with the screen brightness at half.

[@soleiljaan805]

Crossfiyah buy more batteries lol

[@SethTerwilliger]

Brilliant! Thank you so much! have had my gh5 for a couple months and have been searching for a video to help me set it up in the most cinematic way :)

[@pumpum000]

oh god please do more camera rigs like this, i think i have a weird fetish for them...

[@MrMovieMan941]

You are not alone my friend :D

[@Filmtour]

its an addiction xD

[@ianmiles8635]

Me too man

[@brianlin6433]

same here. Oh hey, we are the Fantastic Four in this comment looooool

[@bennyblaze6558]

awesome channel, just subscribed. great info and like your editing. Keep up the great work bud !!!

[@FRANKRICECOLD209]

Also it Would Be Great to Share How To Set up The GH5 For the Best Video / Music Video Settings Thanks So Much man i Love Your Stuff

[@PeteWoronowski]

Great video and covers a lot with the cage and monitor. Thanks Tom!

[@juniorclaverirakoze4375]

fabulous set up

[@YoungBlaze]

Damn you took new electronics out into the rain.....you brave!

[@wildbikerbill6530]

You got that right - especially the Atomos Ninja Inferno with those cooling vents right on top.

[@TomMakesThings]

Yup and it worked great!

[@TomAntos]

YoungBlaze Of Chitown I like to live on the edge ;-)

[@IAMDIMITRI]

I was freaking out when I saw that >

[@TomAntos]

Dimitri T I always do that it seems. I'm actually outdoors right now filming on a new camera I got and it started raining like crazy.

[@MenaCourtadeProductions]

This video has helped me for over 2 years thank you sir

[@ObjectiveComplete]

wow! you have everything I want for my GH5!!!!!

[@pty_foto]

Great video! As always :)

[@breezbreezman7419]

Hi Tom....Your teaching is really amazing...I like that,u made getting a cheap cameras working like most expensive stuffs.

[@BestEverFoodReviewShow]

No offense, but camera tests of leaves and flowers are nearly worthless. All camera tests should include a human and some med/CU shots, so we can see skin tone and compare it to other images we've seen.

[@AlphaCentauri24]

Perfectly said. Also it should be at normal speed.

[@staylostudio9]

Hey Tom. I was considering purchasing the blackmagic cinema camera 2.5k or the gh5 for narrative projects. which one would you recommend

[@narasenaiman]

Love your setUp , i hope sometimes i have same stuff like you 😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@DominikGolab]

Oh wow, I've been watching your videos all evening and just read the description. Dzień dobry.

[@gonzojimbo]

Useful throughout. Thanks!

[@LovelyMonkeys]

Really love your channel and thanks for this nice video!

[@TheNorfolkHoneyCo]

Hi Tom, Great set up, thanks for the video. I have just started using a GH5 for my videos, I'm a beekeeper first and youtuber second and struggle with what the best setup for quality should be. I want 4k but there are so many different options it's bewildering for the novice. Trying to shoot in full manual when you have an angry beehive open in front of you can be very testing so I'm currently shooting on Programme mode (don't hate me!). Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks in advance. Stewart

[@gigijobava]

Vielen Dank Tom Antos. Für dieses interessante Video.

[@KozKreoleKwenKomedi]

Hi, was wonder if you would mind sharing how much the whole setup cost

[@VideoMarketingExperts]

Thanks for this great video!

[@LeaperiteProductionsLLC]

I wish I had enough money to play with these toys... Thank you so much for the amazing video! My GH4 needs a bigger brother... GH5...

[@JairajSinghPatil]

Heath Ross Productions and here I am shooting with my smartphone lol

[@laginw]

Heath Ross Productions LOL, i'm still shooting with my G85 and a pack of $200 lens.

[@JackMcDonnell91]

such a good video! thank you!

[@ebviboy]

I love it!!

[@spectatorofallthings6587]

I’m here trying not to cry! It’s all getting wet all that equipment is in the rain and I’m here wondering if I’ll ever be able to afford such an amazing setup omg

[@m_schneider]

Hey Tom, which gh5 dummy battery are you using?

[@truepakistanitv5779]

Great tutorial bro

[@MygenteTV]

what gear and set up did you used to do this video?thank you

[@Filmtour]

the cage loos super great!

[@KarimJovian]

oh my you weren't scared of the rain? Beautiful rig. I just recently bought one. Anyway I can watch your films?

[@londonkeith4804]

Instablaster...

[@KobusGevelspar]

Tom! Thanks for the review. Can I have your opinion on the GH5 and creating shallow depth of field? I'm considering buying one, but really like the DOF.

[@jonvenusti]

tom, what battery gh5 battery delete do you use with that lanparte power splitter.... i ordered one off amazon doesnt seem to match up

[@rockout13productions]

Hey Tom. What cinema lense would you recommend for profile close-up on a GH5, that will NOT distort a person's face? I guess I'm referring to best focal length for close-ups.

[@HKMUSICWORLDTV]

Super vidéo i got the gh5 with the canon ef 70 mm 200 mm lens I need the monitor 4K with the less delay do you have any suggestions ?

[@northtexasflyer3499]

Sir, I'm wondering what adapter you used to connect to your matt box? It looks like some attachment. With the SLR anamorphic lenses the focus ring is so close to the lens opening (end). I'm just wondering how to attach a matt box and it looks like you solved it. Thanks

[@paulosilveira9375]

super nice!!! hey,... why u put a atomos inferno in GH5? I'd like this lumix just because it can shut in internal 10bits 4:2:2, so, the atamos can improve something more? thanks a lot

[@WanDzul78]

I wonder if this rig can be mount on dji ronin m and steadicam/flycam vest & arm..

[@AngelFrancoart]

Gracias Tom Gh5 anamorphic!

[@hariomdigitalstudiotv7391]

Awesome sir

[@connermurphy8059]

Do those lenses act as 70mm, 100mm and 140mm crops with the micro 4/3?

[@yousseflakhoua9425]

Hello! how much roughfly for the hole kit; thank you!

[@chrisstrikes]

Hi Tom, I saw you did a review on the camtree rig a couple years ago. I know the Camtree is significantly cheaper in price, but how do the (latest) Camtree and the Came-tv rigs compare in build quality, durability and functionality?

[@squantrill]

thank you great video

[@everheartproductions5076]

Since gh5 doesn't capture audio in VFR, will connecting xlr to ninja capture audio while in vfr?

[@samkent9029]

with all your creative mind and equipment i'd love to see you make a feature.

[@Abdallah_yusuf]

wow that was awesome., I got simple question. does Panasonic GH5 water proof coz you shot on a rainy day and the camera was wet plus how much does it cost the camera with the gear not with the lenses?

[@albertonico1000]

which ones are these anamorphic lenses?? great video thanks!!

[@rzeznik105]

Pierwszy raz oglądając film Polaka myślałem, że to kolejna produkcja z za wielkiej wody :D Pozdrowionka :D

[@EclipseVisualSystems]

Do you have an opinion on how the stabilization would work with the Eclipse Rovers?

[@MaxMiesen]

How is that shoulder mount supposed to help if you don't have handles

[@luucamNY]

Cool vid is all 3 of those lens produce such fringing ? And CA ?

[@richardsingh4368]

So would you suggest these lenses for wedding and other events? if not what lenses would you say I could use for weddings if you had to choose two or three lenses on a budget. I will buy the gh5 for body.

[@ALLTHINGSCINEMA24]

Hey Tom, great content! Seen a couple of your videos.. also I just upgrade my GH4 to the NOW GH5s!! I love the rig.. how much would you say your total set cost is? (GH5: $2000 + Anamorph lens + cage + matte box + follow focus + NINJA + shoulder support) ??

[@arusianameza4204]

hello i have been looking for univerty where i can study graphic design and video production,please can you tell where?

[@BluesWaveBlues]

Tom, what HDMI cable do you use in this video

[@afamokereke9671]

I just bought two GH5 for film shooting and I wish to set it cinema standard as you just displayed. Pls kindly assist. Tnx.

[@VisualAnthony]

do you use the lanparte/v-mount battery to power the camera and the inferno or just the inferno? I'm looking for a v-mount plate for my GH5 rig and i can't seem to find anything with an 8.4v output, which from my understanding is what is needed for the GH5. i know they have regulators but i'd like to limit my cables if at all possible. any suggestions?

[@jamesmarshall2444]

Visual Anthony hi, I'm in the same boat now . Did you find a solution please?

[@artipicamedia4260]

Tom, I got the same setup, when I try to output 60P 10Bit 422 the Inferno screen flickers violently or says no signal. Im running the GH5, Inferno and Atomos HDMI cable. Any ideas ?

[@Hhhhhhhhbbbv]

Very nice

[@Filmmaker809]

What is the focus system you are using please?

[@jorgenmalmo]

Is there any way that you can record directly to a PC?

[@produccionesjuareznehega-t1966]

How much does the GH5 lumix camera cost with all its accessories that you show in the video .....? Could you please inform me if you answer me as soon as possible. I have thought to acquire it. greetings from Peru .. I love the cameras :)

[@tavispinnful]

Did you have Latency issues with the Inferno via HDMI out?

[@JimStrykowskiProducer]

RE lensing question: my goal is boxing action short films at the moment, with a few corporate instructional/town hall events and interview candids.

[@MohitKumar-kd4po]

sir i want to know that which three lens is using by you in this video

[@JoshuaDanger]

will that cage support the metabones speed booster?

[@abhisheksuraj]

Bro, u Rock

[@csun1578]

Hi Tom, Thanks for sharing! How are the waterproof features of the camera and the lenses?

[@TomAntos]

chun sun the camera and lenses performed without problems in the rain. I know gh5 is weather sealed but I don't think the lenses are.

[@daogariualex5115]

Hey Tom! I was wondering about SLR Magic lens set. How they behave on GH5. Distorsion, chromatic aberations, low light, things like that. There is little information about these lense. Thanks!

[@AlexWilkinsonYYC]

Look at it. It performs terribly. Chromatic aberration everywhere in his test video. I usually don't care about pixel peepers and chromatic aberration, etc, but it's brutal on these lenses. To the point where it's actually distracting from the shot.

[@bigbila101]

what is the matte box do you use say me please

[@LouisAdamsDiaz]

what lens between $5-1000 would you recommend for the gh5 for music videos? everything I have seen people are loving the 12-35mm is the best all around lens for the price. What do you think?

[@K1tips]

thank you

[@FrancContreras_FrancMex]

Hey Tom, how did you mount that Atomos monitor to the rig? I'm having a hard time finding parts.

[@TTURBOVOLVO]

A clamp arm will work wonders. www.aliexpress.com/item/Super-Clamp-7-11-inches-Adjustable-Magic-Articulated-Arm-for-Mounting-HDMI-Monitor-LED-Light-LCD/32889197526.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3d9c4c4dKQPy6Q

[@Rob0fheDead]

Where did you get the lens support from? I can't find it. Also, what is that ring you have around the 50mm? It looks like something of a workaround to the rotating front of the lens. I have the 35mm and hate that it rotates, because it makes screw on polarizes ruin the shot once you pull focus

[@dan_hitchman007]

In the video Tom said the supports for those particular lenses were made by the same company.

[@dorsmap]

Cool video man I expected a little better from the lenses but I guess you really have to spend a lot to get a film quality anamorphic lens

[@ITSMYTIME]

is it full frame sensor or what?

[@cjkalandek996]

Does this rig work with the GH4?

[@AkashRoy-bk2ge]

what will be the cost along with these accessories ?

[@babjinaidudevavarapu4397]

amazing

[@nikmiddelman62]

lets spend 6k right away! nice setup tho :D

[@djcory2727]

where is the link to the full gh5 video

[@raztechstudios]

Hey Tom. Are you planning on doing a full review video on the gh5. Thanks

[@TomAntos]

raztechstudios Yes. I need more time to work with the camera on actual film shoots before I can have enough real world experience to talk about how this camera really performs.

[@raztechstudios]

Sweet. Sounds good. Looking forward to it. How are you liking it so far?

[@TomAntos]

raztechstudios it's got a lot of neat features. but is it a big enough update to warrant an update from the GH4? still not sure on that.

[@afamokereke9671]

My name is Afam Okereke, a film maker from Nigeria. Thanks a lot for the tutorials. Pls how could you help me get this kit ?

[@mychannalabofficial8227]

as it have sound recording setting?

[@Tiprasashortfilm798]

Sir How to buy in india.

[@joeorrego7247]

Tom I need some help, please. I recently bought a GH5 and I shot C4K 10 bit MP4 (LPCM) files, but I can't open them in Quicktime on my iMac. I get this warning: "The file isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player." Any suggestions - recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[@jeyaprakash1184]

This all cage set on the Sony a9?

[@PhotoArtBrussels]

Tom, you probably get a million questions ... here goes mine: we are starting out filming car events, car races on racetracks, brand club events, etc ... in a pro-am duo. Is it best to film with fixed focus or auto focus? I'm in doubt between the Sony AX700, Canon Legria GX10, Panasonic GH5, Sony a6500, Sony A7 series ..... camcorder or photo camera. If anybody else has some tips, it would be greatly appreciated! Our purpose is to grow to a pro outfit.

[@RomeoFilms]

Thxx

[@PawelTableTennis]

Super!

[@SteveFullick]

Very cool stuff, for sure. But, I am working with the GH4, and my budget would never allow for those lenses. Maybe someday. The Cametv cage does look useful, though. And for now, I could possibly just use my old phone as a larger external screen. What do you think?

[@TomAntos]

Steve Fullick if you already have the GH4 then I'd say stick with it. The GH5 has some great features but it's not something everyone needs. Main things are the in body stabilization and 10bit recording. If you don't need these features then no reason to upgrade.

[@momobestE]

Est-ce une batterie pour la GH5? Peut-on sauver plus d'une heure? Merci, on trouve ou?

[@VionGaming]

What filters did he use in the Matt box?

[@jamesmarshall2444]

Vion Films hi, did you find out and answer for the filters please, I'm trying to find some also for the sign Cheers

[@ah-ray]

The CR and aberations of those lenses is really bad, also I don't the radioactive blue flares, but that's just personal taste. Great video btw, I love your enthousiasm!

[@TomAntos]

Remco Ardui thanks

[@cinemasteve87]

I agree. The fringing on these lenses are far more pronounced and more distracting than other anamorphic cinema lenses i.e. Hawks, Kowas, Elites, Lomos.

[@TomAntos]

Remco Ardui yes but the pricing on those other anamorphic lenses is far more pronounced ;-)

[@cinemasteve87]

True :) That's why renting I feel is the better option.

[@TomAntos]

CinemaSteve if renting is affordable then sure. but some anamorphic lenses cost as much to rent per day as it costs to buy these

[@nissanfreak22]

Noob question: How does resolution work for anamorphic lenses/footage? Like, what was the output resolution for the footage that you shot in 4k?

[@TomAntos]

Kyle Armstrong output resolution is still UHD on the atomos recorder. Internally it's higher vertically but it doesn't make a difference unless you plan to finish higher than 4K

[@nissanfreak22]

Tom Antos Huh, okay that's interesting. So once you take the file and starting editing it what resolution is the original file? For example, in HD (not UHD) would it be something like 2560x1080 or is the higher resolution capped at 1920. Sorry if I don't make much sense, not sure how to explain it. 😩

[@zaynfredly]

Nice

[@DerekMantei]

You're doing god's work tom
