That small rig is sweet!

[@cfcmartinez]

Hey, great job! Like it! Do you have temperature problem with the BMPC6K?

[@MrFrozone93]

Huge help, can you give us insights for cableing and the backoffice (switchers etc)? Responsible in our church for live streaming, fixed the cam topic, but getting stressed out by the other stuff.

[@ChurchTechTalks]

It all depends on your system. I would highly recommend creating a Flow Chart to properly plan how to wire your system together! Plan on flexibility backups!

[@iphilu828]

good stuff

[@ChurchTechTalks]

Thanks!

[@marcusahrend3980]

Thank you so much @scott...with a handheld rig like that using the 70-200 mm Canon lens - would you recognize the difference between the same lens without IS? What do you think?

[@ChurchTechTalks]

I think you would. The shakiness would really be obvious and not pleasing to watch. If you want cheaper options, consider the 70-200 f4 with IS and just use more ISO to get the image exposed properly.

[@stroggi11]

Nice small rig! How do you colorgrade your video? Do you do it on your switcher/encoder or do you apply a LUT on the bmpcc directly? And if you use a LUT, can you tell which one?

[@ChurchTechTalks]

We add LUTs to each camera that we created our own grading for. If we were using the same cameras and lenses then we might be able to get away with a pre-built solution, but since we’re using multiple camera models and various lenses, we found that we had to custom build them to match.

[@awsomeken21]

What’s up man, you’ve been a great help to me in this video! What mounts did you us also for the battery on the bottom placement and the wireless hdmi-sdis to place onto the rig??

[@awsomeken21]

Like which rail mount and rails do you have??

[@kveditme]

How is the signal on your ghost eye I’m having a lot of static on my feed using a shoulder rig let me know could use some help our church is reviveusnow

[@aholland216]

What are your settings on the BMPC 6K?

[@elioncampbell5745]

Hey man nice vid.... I'm hesitant to go with BMD rig because of the manual focus... I never did manual focus and I don't know if manual focus will be volunteer friendly.... how do you train opps to manual focus on the fly quickly?

[@ChurchTechTalks]

There are so many things you just can’t get with autofocus and it’s those elements that really make the whole thing look cinematic. It is slightly harder to train volunteers, but not as hard as you’d think. They catch on quick - especially when you recruit young people with good eyesight and photographers/videographers to serve in those positions.

[@Venom316]

Great video! Some of your links are broken. Can you please provide an updated link for your wireless setup?

[@ChurchTechTalks]

Thanks for the heads up! Actually mixing a livestream right now, but I’ll get those links fixed within the hour.

[@ChurchTechTalks]

Fixed! Looks like Amazon doesn’t carry it anymore. Added a BH link, but you can also buy directly from Cinegears website - cinegears.com

[@Venom316]

@@ChurchTechTalks Appreciate it! Thanks!!

[@HybridCamRevolution]

At 0:27, I'm pretty sure that's a Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, not a Pocket? Otherwise, great video and thanks for sharing!

[@ChurchTechTalks]

Yup! You’re totally right. It’s the Micro Cinema Camera. The names are all so similar it’s quite easy to mix them up :) Thanks for watching!

[@dmcmahon999]

What is your church and where. I’d like to see the live stream please.

[@ChurchTechTalks]

You can check out our livestream at live.reliancechurch.org or visit our KZbin page to see past stream at KZbin.com/reliancechurch

[@tremontoya7009]

I see you're running with the atem switcher software. How is the handheld option with having a SDI wire with you at all times?

[@ChurchTechTalks]

Tre Montoya we did have them wired for a bit and it was ok, but we opted to switch over to wireless and grabbed some cinegears ghost eye units. A nice added bonus is that those wireless units have both HDMI and SDI inputs on the transmitter and HDMI and SDI outputs on the receiver so we can go into the transmitter from the cameras HDMI and we can come out of the receivers and go into our ATEM in SDI.

[@tremontoya7009]

Church Tech Talks that’s really cool. Have you looked into Sling Studio? We were using Atem software/hardware and switched over to that. Still attempting to see what we like better haha

[@ChurchTechTalks]

Tre Montoya just googled it. Haven’t heard of it but it looks cool. We use Living As One (ahem, I mean Resi) as our livestream distribution so we would need a SDI output out of whatever we switch on. I’d also be curious what the latency is like with that system since we also use our broadcast feed for local IMAG. Anything more than a few milliseconds would be very noticeable live.

[@kingdomcreatives]

dies the transmitter connect to the atem? is that how it works?

[@kingdomcreatives]

*does

[@ChurchTechTalks]

There’s a transmitter and a receiver. The receiver has both SDI and HDMI outputs and that’s what you use to plug into the ATEM.

[@ZombieFilms]

Nice vid. Quick suggestion, lower the background music. It was very distracting and hard to hear you at times. Cheers

[@TkeMedia]

Seeing you work with all these little screws & stuff while not having your censor cover on makes me nerious af for you 😅😅

[@ChurchTechTalks]

Haha, I like living on the edge 😜

[@TkeMedia]

@@ChurchTechTalks ahaha, when you know gods on your side, you don’t fear scratched lens, lol 😂 Just kidding, aha. Great video man 👍🏼
