How I Build My Sigma FP For Filmmaking!

In this video I talk about my custom cinema camera rig, the Sigma FP. It's taken me a few months of trial and error to get the rig finalized as well as my method when it comes to grading and converting the raw image in DaVinci Resolve.

Show us your grading process!! So good man

[@michaelbennettphoto]

Will do! Thank you Luis!

[@berlin03030]

I'd love to get to know more about how you use your sigma fp, get correct exposure, etc.

[@michaelbennettphoto]

Sweet! I’ll be sure to plan something out.

[@fgrnb353]

wow man. i hope i could afford it one day.

[@michaelbennettphoto]

You got it!

[@redbeardfilmsaus]

Definitely do a video about your editing workflow!

[@michaelbennettphoto]

Will do! Thank you!

[@DynamicLearning4u]

Nice beautiful cage! Can you make more videos on Sigma FP, its footage and how you are using it? Which other camera do you use? Do they match well?

[@michaelbennettphoto]

Will do! The other camera I use to film my KZbin videos is an old Sony a7rii. They’re used for very different purposes so I haven’t tried to match the footage

[@fayebennett8342]

Great video!❤❤❤

Thank you!!💛

Underrated channel! New sub!

[@michaelbennettphoto]

Thanks dude! I appreciate it!

The rig looks cool, I like the vertical mounting for the SSD. I've recently purchased the Arca-Swiss M2 SSD Holder from 52weeks, which mounts on the bottom, but it looks like it would preclude connecting the base plate... I have the Niceyrig handle, which is not as nice as the smallrig one, but it's hard to find FP aftermarket parts in Canada :(

[@michaelbennettphoto]

The Sigma FP accessories from 52Weeks look ready cool. I think what they’re doing is awesome. And yeah, unfortunately, accessories for the FP seem harder and harder to come by nowadays.

[@davido9450]

Does the 52weeks have to connect straight to the bottom of the camera or will it still mount to the bottom if you have a cage on the camera?

[@berkano_plays]

It has an indexing pin that goes into the small hole, so it probably would not mount correctly on a cage. I can try with a SmallRig cage and the DPL cage...

[@davido9450]

@berkano_plays if you can that'd be much appreciated.

[@berkano_plays]

@@davido9450 So, on a SmallRig cage there's a hole for the indexing pin in the correct spot, so it fits perfectly. On the DPL cage there's a hole in one row that is 1.5mm off, so it does not fit, and on the back row you can attach it, but the pin hangs in the air, so it'll be liable to get un-screwed. There's a little rubber pad, though, that helps by adding some extra friction. Hope this helps.

[@jackochan_69]

Are you able to attach another plate to the bottom for a sideways arca Swiss plate? Trying to see if this rig could work on a rs2 as well 😂

[@michaelbennettphoto]

You definitely can. One of the configurations I use is with the 100mm plate mounted sideways. This way I have a much more compact setup and I can still mount the SSD to the cheese plate.

Where are these locations?

They vary from Clear Creek Canyon in Colorado to some random places around north Texas
