How do you rig up your camera? :)

[@endaoconnor]

Just started using 19" rods on my rig, can never go back to 15.

[@dutchvideoshooter]

I have a nice zacuto rig for my GH5 anamorphic setup. I really love it!

[@art_means_artificial]

nowadays hollywood is a rubbish hole ... crysis of genre

[@KP-yy7ph]

too broke

[@SoloTraceur]

I rig up a classic BMCC 2.5k that can easily switch from shoulder to tripod. Nice and compact so I can keep my arms close to my body when shoulder mounting. I zip tied a LANC rec start stop button to one of the hand grips and another to the top of the rig near the top handle. That way I can easily start recording no matter the configuration. Works a treat. Great with the Hollyland Mars 300 Pro wireless video system to send an image to a wireless directors monitor. I don't have a viewfinder though, I've yet to find an affordable, high quality EVF that works well with the BMCC. Thanks Shane for your knowledge and skill sharing!

[@salmosdelanoche]

Me. Having a $20 Amazon tripod 🤣

[@williamsitton]

2:04 Shane calls the Oconner a Cartoni LOL

[@evy.agency4720]

It's cool, Shane's a big dude, lots of experience etc but jeez - that flip and catch at 4.39 sent my heart racing and I'm not even an AC.

[@j.oakley9588]

I recently learned how INSANELY expensive this stuff is. I haven’t looked yet, but I bet something as mundane as that shoulder pad is almost a grand or some crazy shit.

[@PYROCAFE]

I was recently as AC on a comercial set where the Director brought his own 2500Euro shoulder pat...so yeah

[@MrKiki1989]

It crazy, I believe that a O'Connor 2575 head is like 40k

[@dudedavid522]

Lol that Benny Hill theme. Glad they're having fun with it in the edit. Thanks big dog

[@claytonpotter7585]

I'm a super indie film maker on Stingray Films and I love watching these videos! They give me a clear view on how the top dogs do it, and get me thinking on how I can do something similar! Keep it up!!

[@TheTechnoPilot]

Thanks for sharing your setup further! I just switched over to VCT for my personal rig and couldn't be happier.

[@MANIAKRA]

I love this channel so much!

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

Im assuming these tripod setups cost more than my house haha

[@leotownsend]

gotta love a beefy, girthy rod

[@art_means_artificial]

nowadays hollywood is a rubbish hole ... crysis of genre

[@DUST35]

Thanks for the video! I really like the handheld work at 9:14

[@NOMUSCLEGARAGE]

Just got you at Hot Rod cameras and felt in love what and how you saying! Nice to meet you, Shane! Now im your student)

[@Guerrillamoviemaker]

Thank you!

[@Photographicelements]

Sometimes you need both 15mm & 19mm rods; eg, C-Motion requires 15mm, but a cinezoom lens would require 19mm for support. I use 15/19mm adapter for the smaller accessories, as needed.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

sync steps! genius

[@calebazorn]

What VCT baseplate/19mm shoulder mount system is this you’re using here? I’d love to step up from 15mm.

[@ThepigandThemonkey]

you know this guy is a baller when he films all this right next to a swimming pool

[@Steve-lx6tc]

What are the details of the shoulder rig please, I'm looking at purchasing one and I like this one?

[@studentfilmmaker8156]

I so would've loved to have a Cartoni Tripod! But our film School sent us the Manfrotto Tripod! The newer version!

[@goldecinematics]

Shane I'm looking for a solid base kit for a Red Epic Dragon shoulder rig and those rod handles, where can I find them?

[@bromdulasta]

Insight no one else can give u but real dp's

[@britisheagle9776]

it sounded like the clapper board loading

[@WalterTheBalter]

I love how the soundtrack builds slowly of this. Can you tell me what song it is? Also I use 15mm rods. I shoot handheld as well on a shoulder rig. Gonna start talking about it on my channel. Im loving the 19mm rods too learning from this video. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I learned so much. Im typing this as I watch by the way and Im really feeling the soundtrack to this. So yea holler back at me on that.

[@anchorbait6662]

"Europeans love big ass rods"

[@ax3l_d994]

That tripod and head costs more than my whole rig lmao. Nice setup.

[@PDAIPRODUCTIONS]

Are those movcam grips rubber or leather?

[@erikvalenzuela9572]

1 INCH IS A BIG DEAL

[@kylosalvesen]

"It really comes to metrics..." uses imperial system

[@rickjacobs2059]

he uses the word correctly.. "metric" = a method of measuring something

[@MiaogisTeas]

​@@rickjacobs2059 ...it's a joke, son. I've been laughing about it for the past 5 minutes 😅

[@nikoneferis8772]

6:55 it's all about girth 😭😭😭

[@Ale21620]

Are you the cinematographer of the first episodes of Into the Badlands?

[@filmmakers_academy]

Yes he shot the first season!

[@hzubovi1]

What camera did you use to film this. Looks great, I saw it was a RED. P.S. the motion blur looks butter smooth

[@Photographicelements]

RED handheld and RED on ReadyRig Gimbal; I'm guessing RED Epic-W with older 5" monitor, but could be Epic Dragon. See for yourself: 5:15

[@meirchaimo6960]

He reminds me of Chuck McGill

[@britisheagle9776]

much better than the old days when you film makers used 35mm film cans sd is much easer now

[@steadygumsteadygum1074]

Just get Steadygum and you are good to go. Check it out for yourself on the internet or at the NAB and IBC trade shows

[@MariusViken]

6:54 - That's what she said.

[@MiaogisTeas]

"It comes down to metrics!" Immediately measures it in inches 😅 All jokes aside, great info thanks

[@xanfus]

I've got a girthy rod too!

[@leonardotdias]

The only thing I can afford in Shane's channel is a freakin' shoulder cushion...

[@filmmakers_academy]

Wait for Friday... we have a video coming dealing with lighting on a budget!

[@chriscodling6573]

the fact that he had that expensive ass camera so close to the pool gave anxiety.

[@feurum3275]

That feeling when you can rely on expensive tripod 😂

[@pooyanmanoochehry2629]

I was more worried about taking a step backwards.

[@SKYPRODUCTIONSMEDIA]

"An inch is a BIG deal " ..that's what she said

[@moreapropos]

Director: Who the f clicked their Cartoni?!?!

[@kevkuehnl7431]

how about... just glue a little foam on that snap... to avoid snap sound? ;D

[@sweetkellymay]

7:04 Most girls like "Big ass rods"...

[@zeitwille]

01:57 .... who else hears a click?

[@PhilMao]

1 inch is a big deal, love the girth

[@570films]

Great! The longest, most profitable commercial on line in the history of film! Period!

[@WiseNickVZW]

I love this video Shane, but I feel like it's a filmmaker's infomercial. I kept looking for the 1-800 number.

[@zach_blackburn]

The ladies agree. An inch IS a big deal.

[@carltontriplett4947]

This title has VERY little, if any, to do with this actual video. SMH

[@moreapropos]

LOL. I would imagine the last thing most independent filmmakers on You Tube need to worry about is the click made by a Cartoni.

[@petero1068]

6:26 funny, now a days they just choose a FX3 and call it a day. 🙃😁

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

"Really comes to metrics,.... Only nine inches" :D :D :D That's 22.86 centimeters, for all those watching in the 'Metric' part of the world ;)

[@Avidcomp]

Can a cameraman really have 12kg on their shoulder all day? Realistically how many minutes before you want to put it down?

[@adamgrayson1918]

(replying to a year old comment) When I was using the Ursa Mini I had, rigged up it was about 23 pounds (10 ish KG), balanced properly you can honestly go for a good while, unbalanced, it's pretty much a game of how strong you are.

[@MiaogisTeas]

​@@adamgrayson1918 2 years later... Yes exactly - if you're aligned it's negligible, but even slightly off kilter and you feel the burn

[@innokentyvetkin6880]

Seeing expensive cameras near water always makes me cringe.

[@michelleangawa1522]

the pool is rreally distracting .Every time he does exagerrated hand motions i feel like the gear would end up in the water ..lol...great vid though

[@rudestrudedog]

finally the 'talians figured out how to beat ze germans and that o'conner clan! Oh, the Lambo and ferraris are pretty darn tutto cool too....

[@rosszpenz]

Video title about shoulder mount, talks the first 3:18 minutes about fluid heads...

[@patricklutz4506]

jeez this is so ridiculus
