1" Mini XLR Cable: bhpho.to/3MHGUdA

[@JasKenMoore]

Thanks for this. But what camera did you use to shoot video and how did you achieve this lifting that only covers your frontal view and doesn't reflect behind you?

[@nateperaccini8912]

This cable looks awesome. What's the mounting unit for the Low-Profile XLR-3 and the AVX-MKE2 receiver?

[@leoleibo]

Hi@@nateperaccini8912 Did you find the answer? Thanks

[@Bruces-Garage]

Thanks for the tips. I just got a C80 and your config of the C70 helped me. I wasn’t aware of the battery with a d-tap and that’s perfect for me. In addition, I immediately re-labeled my custom buttons. Thanks.

Haha thanks Christian!

[@christianely]

@@Jimmy87268 Nothing negative about the C70, more just spending $6k on another camera when I know my C200 gets most jobs done! But now with my C70 I can get more dynamic shots and also not fill up my hard drives every 15 minutes lol.

[@mat4123]

Hi Griffin, would love a more detailed look at how you mount and convert the AVX receiver. It looks very neat

[@GriffinConway]

Hey Mat! It’s the cold shoe adapter that is included with the avx wireless kit goes directly on to the cold shoe on the bright tangerine side plate. Then for cabling, I had a custom 1” mini xlr to full size xlr made from a company called cable techniques. You can Google them and order off their website. Unfortunately there is no direct link for that. You just need to write them an email and ask for the custom length

[@POVmotoVIDS]

[@GriffinConway]

Same here! Glad you enjoyed it

[@gb4639]

Thanks for the video Griffin. I just assembled my expert tangerine rig on the C70 and found a design flaw. First, if your using the HDMI clamp, you can't turn the side screw above the quick release clamp used to tighten the dovetail plate. So, you must first remove the HDMI clamp but even then the side screw to tighten the dovetail will not fully turn 360 degrees because it hits the quick release clamp. You can still make it work but its really an inconvenience. I noticed in your video that you were able to completely turn your side screw but you didn't have the HDMI clamp on. My clamp might be an isolated case or did you have to shave down the side screw handle in order to turn it 360 degrees?

[@TristanErvin]

Nice setup man - thanks for this video. Just bought my C70 last week and looking for a way to mount my Ninja V with my Rode NTG 4+

[@davecooper6173]

I just got my C70 and am building it out now as minimally as possible. I'm also searching for a solution to mount the Rode shotgun mics that accommodates my Shinobi 7" monitor. I've got the Smallrig C70 small kit (baseplate, top plate, handle). Haven't found a solution yet.

[@motionbymike]

@@davecooper6173 I'm using the small rig kit too and I just use the shotgun mic adaptor that came with the C70 and I mount it to the left cold shoe. It doesn't interfere with the monitor when it's on the small rig handle either

[@davecooper6173]

@@motionbymike Never mind I figured it out. I had NO IDEA that adapter was useful. I ignored it. Thank you again!

[@christhompsonphotography6783]

Black Labels for the win!

[@shzammpatapon9865]

those one with no cage build is the one I'm going for. tq. using the canon top handle is fine for me

[@GriffinConway]

For sure! That’s still a solid setup

[@williamsitton]

Send that c70 in for repair before that hinge causes further frustration while working! I just got mine replaced and it took 4 days to get repaired and sent back to my home. They will service it for free. it may be wiggly and still work now but it puts major stress on the ribbon cable connecting the monitor. It will eventually break.

[@GriffinConway]

I already got it serviced and it’s working great now!

Tip for anyone considering moving to the AVX system from a radio wireless - older DPA mics may cause interference and be unusable, my DPA 4060 lav does.

[@DanielMann]

Such a clean rig. I use a C70 for work and those exact radio mics. What full size to mini XLR adaptor is that? Only have the long black magic ones which are very messy.

Hi Griffin the hole where tripod fit on the c70 is bigger then Normal how do I fix that?

It is a 3/8” screw hole instead of 1/4”. I would suggest buying a bright tangerine c70 baseplate, and if that’s not an option I would just get a 1/4” to 3/8” adapter. They cost only about $1

Hey, i saw on some C70 forums that people HDMI are being fried on the C70. Have you had any issues powering it with V mount? I just rigged mine up and when I am done filming, I turn the camera off and just take the V mount battery off. Are there certain precautions I should take?

[@joshdiditt]

@@GriffinConway Ok. When you power it on and off is there a certain way you do it or do you just turn the camera off and remove battery like I do?

[@caquirin]

How do you manage all of your cords for things like shotguns and mics? I guess one issue for me is that I already had audio equipment using XLR cords, so once I add mini XLR to XLR adaptors into the mix, it's a mess. This is my biggest issue when I use small cameras-- the cords are everywhere

[@pixelreflexmedia]

Thanks for making this video it was the deciding factor for me to order the expert kit and the Micro V Mount setup. I am also looking to get an external monitor. Do you use the Ninja V regularly, or would you recommend another?

Thank you! I would go for a different monitor other than the ninja. I don’t like the way it handles color. Probably an offering from smallhd is what I would reccomend

[@pixelreflexmedia]

@@GriffinConway Thanks for the recommendation for the Small HD monitor. I purchased the 702 Touch. Question about the V Micro battery. I've been using it without issue, but yesterday I got a low voltage warning from the C70, and it shut down. Is it because it's drawing too much power with the monitor and the camera? The battery was at half power when it happened. I switched to a CORE powerbase Edge Pro X14.8, and it worked for the rest of the shoot.

[@trufocusproductions]

@@GriffinConway With your external monitor that you mention at 7:31. Is that a Small HD? Also what are you using as you Wireless Transmitter & Receiver System to see the other camera?

Also, do you have full trust in that wooden camera cable over a dummy battery? Thank you so much Griffin!

[@GriffinConway]

Thanks for that! I appreciate it. I power the camera off of the D tap port on the IDX battery plate using the wooden camera c70 to d tap cable. I have used it for several hundred hours without issue. To power the monitor I use a NPF dummy battery to d tap and plug it in to the second d tap port on the other side of the IDX battery plate. Hope that makes sense!

[@JordynDunseath]

@@GriffinConway that makes perfect sense! Thank you so so much! I have one more question if you don’t mind. I hate rushing things but all normal c70 batteries are on backorder, and the vmount kit you suggested won’t arrive in time for me for a big shoot. Do you have an alternative recommendation for a vmount plate/battery that I could possibly get through Amazon prime? You can send me an affiliate and I can buy off of that!

This may sound dumb but how are you able to use the back screen to change your setting when it's fully built out? We picked up a c70 a month ago and I am still building it out.

Griffin, how did you get the Deity D3 to work with your C70? When I use the regular TRRS cable it stays in standby and does not work? Did you have to purchase a 3rd party cable and if so which one? Thanks!

[@GriffinConway]

Turn on plug in power on the c70 it’s in the audio settings

[@jasontrembath9342]

Awesome video Griffin! thanks for sharing I got a lot out of this. What's your thoughts on the Bright Tangerine vs the Kondor Blue Canon C70 cage? Is there a reason you went Bright Tangerine here?

[@GriffinConway]

Hey Jason, thanks a lot! I like the Kondor Blue one better than most of the other cages. A few reasons I chose the bright tangerine cage over the kondor blue 1) it fully supports the weight of the camera with the side plate connecting the top and bottom. 2) it natively supports manfrotto/ronin s2 baseplate (instead of the arca type that won’t work with my tripods) 3) front to back counterbalancing for bigger / smaller lenses 4) The bright tangerine cage can work with larger Arri dovetail setups like my c500 cage can 5) I prefer the color / design of the bright tangerine cage

@@GriffinConway Perfect, thanks very much for the detailed answer on the comparison, that's greatly appreciated mate! (I'm definitely now going Bright Tangerine!) I'm a big fan of your channel and videos, just subscribed!

I bought everything from your description list, but for some reason, my monitor is not being powered up through the Nano battery. It's so weird, it just wouldn't turn on. I use Ninja V.

[@GriffinConway]

Thank you. What cable are you using to power the monitor?

[@Trollfest23]

@@GriffinConway Thanks for quick reply Griffin! I'm using Wooden Camera D-Tap to DC Barrel Power Cable for Canon C70

[@GriffinConway]

@@Trollfest23 ok got it. So the wooden camera d tap to DC cable is powering the camera. Are you talking about powering an external monitor? I use a ninja v monitor and power it off d tap from a NPF to d tap cable that I got off amazon

[@Trollfest23]

@@GriffinConway Okay I see now. I assumed this would work with the Ninja V adapter that comes with it, it connects to DCI properly, but doesn't turn on. I think I found the right thing on Amazon now. Thank you!

[@GriffinConway]

@@Trollfest23 awesome glad to help!

Hey Griffin, what RF TO PL mount adapter do you use for the C70? Might need one for an upcoming project.Thanks ahead of time for any help. Appreciate your videos. Super well done.

[@GriffinConway]

Thank you. I use this one: bhpho.to/3AStBlM

@@GriffinConway Thanks man!

[@johnwilliamphoto]

I have the c70 and just got the Deity d3 pro but am unable to get the mic out of standby mode. It looks like you might be using a different cable, was there anything special you had to do to get this mic to work?

[@motionbymike]

Been wondering the same thing! I can't get my d3 pro to work with the standard mic input

[@johnwilliamphoto]

@@motionbymike so on my camera I did find a setting to run mic off of power which ended up fixing the issue. I think this essentially allows the mic to turn on even though the mic is battery powered. Might be a similar setting on your camera

[@motionbymike]

Quick question. You said in a previous video that you have custom button 1 (white balance) as slow and fast frame rate. However when I select the same, my frame rate doesn’t change. It stays at 23.98. What am I missing ?

[@GriffinConway]

Go to s and f frame rate and change it to 120p and it will fix that

[@lordbarrington7137]

Hey Griffin. Have you had any issues using the senhieser AVX ME2 with the C70? I've found it runs in really hot and distorts slightly every so often, thats even after you apply mic trimming, its unusable beforehand

[@GriffinConway]

I have found that too. I use the me2 mic instead

[@lordbarrington7137]

@@GriffinConway as in the wired one? I'm yet to use anything else through the mini XLR input, so hoping its just the AVX ME2's transmitter output thats hot, and uncontrollable! Waiting on my Deity shotgun...

[@D_L_J_83]

How do you mount the transmitter on the C70 for wireless with your monitor?

[@GriffinConway]

There is a cold shoe on the side of the cage that I use

[@scottievee330]

Good stuff Griffin. Thanks. I couldn't help but notice your LCD screen bouncing around? Mine is still rigid. I hear people sent it back for repairs. I'm assuming yours is still 1st gen??

[@GriffinConway]

Hey Scottie! Yes I need to send mine in badly but I wanted to get the video out first haha

[@attilafilmhouse6345]

Hi, is there a 2nd generation LCD screens? Do they ship the new cameras with the updated version?

[@only2tym]

Hi Griffin, what parts are you using to 1) hold your sennheisser lav mic receiver to the side plate, and 2) connect the lav mic receiver to your camera?

[@a9m0i0r]

Also wondering this!

[@a9m0i0r]

to answer #1, it looks like it's held to the plate by the cold shoe adapter included with the Senheisser lav. Photos below www.onerivermedia.com/blog/reviewing-the-sennheiser-avx-mke2-wireless-audio-system/

[@BryanBenoitPhoto]

From what I can see if we get the Expert Kit that would include all the parts for all 3 builds… correct?

[@GriffinConway]

Yep exactly. The only thing I added was the smallrig monitor hinge to hold my ninja v and a $5 smallrig cold shoe 🙌

[@BrightTangerine]

Hi Bryan, yes, the Expert Kit would include everything you need to create the three builds

[@BryanBenoitPhoto]

@@BrightTangerine thanks. When do you expect to clear the backorder? Ordered one from B&H a couple of days ago

[@BrightTangerine]

@@BryanBenoitPhoto these are the first batch so it's more of a pre-order. We're shipping out this week, so I would say it would arrive to you next week sometime. Thanks for your support.
