I Built the ULTIMATE Pyxis 6K Cinema Rig

[@OfTwoLands]

Nice one, mate! Such a great cam to rig out ☺️🎥 I keep going between full rig and minimal!

[@guguemichaels]

That is a very sexy set up, I have to admit. As for me, at my age (50s), I've been doing this since 1995..almost 30 years, with over 8 feature films under my belt and heavy duty camera rigs...I want my Pyxis (whenever it arrives) to be as simple and light as possible. I'm trying to stay away from heavy duty rigging on any of my cameras (lately). My back is not what it use to be. 😆😆😆 Cool video brethren. Love the set up. Happy filming on your new film project.

[@davidsfilmmaking]

This is such a satisfying video. Great Job Armando!

[@mmlewis1030]

Great video. This rig uses a lot of the parts I had tentatively sketched out to use on my Pyxis build once it arrives. I shoot mostly narrative and seeing you put this rig together is tops! 🔥🔥🔥

[@sujanhariharanr22]

Love this setup, grt insight into differnt parts that make this setup. NATO rails coming in handy bigtime. looking forward to seeing more such videos about rigging as well as the Pyxis.

[@maleksomai9795]

Im salivating from this rig 😂

[@perspectivestudioscaribbea5899]

Totally awesome rig dude ! Can't wait to see all the beautiful things you're gonna create with this powerhouse camera 🎥

[@marklholloway]

Nice build👌 Clever use of the Kondor Blue accessories especially for placing the lidar mount ❤ Quick lock system is great. Definitely going to pick up the lidar cage!

[@GwenPark]

Love the rig, Armando! Best of luck with the film!

[@yarinsheiman7789]

Such an amazing build! I got the irix 45 t1.5 and the pyxis monitor with mine, maybe a focus pro in the future too…

[@doylelacrua]

Hopefully you show us some BTS of the film you are working on. That would be fun to watch.

[@mondobytes]

@@doylelacrua Yup it will be part of my Pyxis Review

[@doylelacrua]

@@mondobytes Looking forward to it! Keep up the great fun work!

[@marcspencertejada]

such a beautiful build

[@charlestcrepps]

Blackmagic really said, “alright my minions… release the content!!!” 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

[@JUSTINRYANPRODUCTION]

Great video thanks for the walk-through of the new camera. I’m thinking about picking one up. I might have to sell my Ursa.

[@earnieboy54]

Damn. I may get this rig. Waiting to see what tilta brings and then I’ll go from there but this is such a great rig?

[@HezJP]

12:39 tilta make a double ARRI rosette piece that you could mount to get the grip away from the 15mm rod piece

[@timdanyo898]

Great build. I still can't stand that permanent side monitor. I know they came out with a detachable monitor, but now you have two power drains and the detachable works in a natural cinema work flow. Plus, without a cover, that permanent side monitor is going to get scratched and crunched because of where it's located. Some 3rd party will come out with a cover to protect and forget that monitor.

[@punkattitude8702]

Very neat !

[@colemowery]

I gotta say... the mid49 cage still looks the best. It's really unfortunate that the kb top plate almost forces you to use a nato rail handle.

[@brandonpetersen10]

There is an ARRI 3/8 mount on top of the nato rail. You still got options.

[@ByJ.Francois]

Damn. I got some saving to do. Or I can just return my new 50 lux ahh !

[@rakib_rudroofficial6542]

❤❤❤

[@pasegers]

great video ! you put the power while the sdi was already connected , is the sdi protocole less sensitive with the Pyxis ?

[@mondobytes]

@@pasegers I don’t follow protocols, been doing this for years and never blown an SDI cable. My theory is cheap cables blow SDI Ports, don’t use cheap cables

[@rossjohnson3337]

@@mondobytes Do you recommend any cables? im terrified of blowing my port on my OG Komodo

[@mondobytes]

@@rossjohnson3337 I use the ones from Teradek and Mutiny. I’ve been doing this for years, C200, C500, FX6, Komodo X, Raptor never had any issues.

[@Abdi_Mohamed_]

Excluding the monitor, batter and camera. Would love to know the total cost for all the accessories

[@razichulliyodeofficial4132]

Great ❤🎉

[@MightyMigi]

Are you going to get the new Pyxis Monitor?

[@jackjaeger]

Where is the icemaker..? This camera is a hotblast cube…

[@kekoavan]

Amazing build. I’m definitely going to buy it now. Question?? What edc tool you are using?

[@mondobytes]

Kondor Blue

[@kekoavan]

@@mondobytes thanks

[@DimitarMichaylov]

Doesn't You plug the SDI after monitor and camera boot up? It's known issue wit the RED camera burning the SDI...

[@djonlyvibe]

🔥🔥🔥

[@gcaussade]

Awesome

[@colemowery]

why not put your motor on the dumb side?

[@mondobytes]

@@colemowery DJI recommends that configuration for accuracy on LiDAR and from my testing it seems to work the best

[@Matt.Gillard]

One question, whats the Weight rigged out?

[@lukasmizerovsky]

hey armando, great video! quick question, is the pyxis able to record on both card slots simultaneously?

[@phrasalsyntax]

It seems that it doesn't. But you can always record a proxy of the raw footage simultaneously.

[@samueljwalter]

Such a sweet camera. Do the side ribs block the poco filter from coming out?

[@KONDORBLUE]

Nope! We were very intentional with the rib shape to make sure that drop-in filters could still slide out.

[@samueljwalter]

@@KONDORBLUE wow thank u 🥹 just copped the poco so definitely picking up the full cage once my Pyxis arrives!

[@doylelacrua]

Why would Blackmagic have the monitor hard mounted to the side like that. Someone signed off on that crazy decision.

[@chasegibson9020]

A lot of High End Cinema Camera's have a monitor or menu on the side of it. It's really not THAT bad of an idea

[@punkattitude8702]

Traditionally, the 1st AC operates on the left side of the camera, which explains the left side monitor

[@timdanyo898]

​@@chasegibson9020 There is an Operator side and an AC side. The AC side is opposite of the Operator's side. It would have been a banger if that monitor was on the AC side. The operator is never looking down and to the side. They are facing forward and looking at the subject they are filming. The AC, on the other hand, is focused on supporting the operator. That monitor position is dumb. imho. An operator will ALWAYS shoot with a monitor directly facing them. Now you will have two battery draining monitors as the one will not be as useful and needed as the other and that hard mounted side monitor is going to get scratched and bumped a lot.

[@phrasalsyntax]

This camera is more intended for solo operation, without 1st AC. Cine 12K is more designed to be use with a 1st AC. If you have an extra assistant for Pyxis, it's better to dedicate him/her to do follow focus.

[@timdanyo898]

@@phrasalsyntax I agree. That's why that monitor position is weird. A solo operator will always be facing front towards the action with a monitor facing them and very rarely looking down and to the side at the camera while filming. If the monitor was for use for an AC it would be on the other side. Hopefully the mII version will totally get rid of that weird side monitor and make that section for manual button control and just have that awesome separate monitor mounted wherever.

[@HGQjazz]

Why do you think this is going to be "one of the most incredible cameras of 2024?" I mean, spec wise, it's 2019.

[@Xarhini]

Por qué ya no subes videos en español?

[@mondobytes]

@@Xarhini No tengo tiempo 😅 pero creo Que en 2025 voy a empezar otra vez
