Build a Cinema Rig for Your Canon M50!

[@richardknapper7533]

I really shouldn't be allowed to watch your great videos. My wife is going to have a fit when all the packages hit the floor over the next couple of days. Still, without your videos, I wouldn't have found out about the much bigger range of gear for the M50. Keep the awesome content coming.

[@markwiemels]

lol. I have a similar storey, I should do a video on it some day.

[@PVMMAC]

🤣🤣

[@dadsdoingstuff355]

Hahaha! I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@asmallnigerian]

If you using the m50 buying a lens more expensive than the body

[@markwiemels]

That not unusual, even with higher end cameras.

[@ImLeocc]

whats the big lense called? Please tell me!

[@tvshow7788]

Great videos, been really helpful. It’s surprise to see that you’ve only had 2k subscribers, I press the subscribe button, because you deserve it. 😊

[@markwiemels]

Haha... just a little guy in the big KZbin world. Thank you for the kind words.

[@UnauthorizedCreations]

I have a cine build out for my canon m50 mark ii and it works great.

[@markwiemels]

Yea, it's a pretty coo thing.

[@sfphoto1726]

Been looking for a good Cage, thank you! Not sure if you mentioned the name/ type of lens that you're using. Good info otherwise!👍🏾

[@markwiemels]

Yes, Sigma 18-35mm f1.8, link in in the description.

[@SonnyGreenwichJr]

Oh no! I need to spend even more money? Say it ain't so! Hahaha! Thanks! Salutations from astonishingly grey, wet & still mostly locked down Ireland! ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️

[@markwiemels]

Haha... I know, it seems like it never ends. I will try to do some more skill based videos, been doing a lot of gear stuff lately.

[@Work_Data_PV]

did anyone else hear panny shit? 3:19

[@OlulolaTobi]

Thanks for sharing

[@kaiwop]

I recently bought a m50 mark ii any recommended video settings?

[@markwiemels]

A bit too compacted for me to properly explain in a comment, because it really depends on your application. Be sure to check out Crowley Crew on YT, he has some great videos for M50 owners.

[@markwiemels]

I will try to do a video about M50 Video settings.

[@mnathanjaques]

@@markwiemels yes. Please. 🤗

[@DJBooks1]

I love the video. The only thing I don't like is that you are vague with the names of some of the equipment, such as the lens. Which forces you to go to the description. I get it with the affiliate links which you didn't mention in the video, for you to make money but you should still describe the names and relative details. Still thank you for the great video. And I am subscribed to your informative channel.

[@Nowheremovies]

Love your vids, super detailed and informative. I am a new owner of the m50 and plan to use it for small freelance video contracts at some point. I'll try to build something similar for sure.

[@markwiemels]

Good luck! Building the camera out tends to make it look more "pro" too, so clients feel like they get what they are paying for.

[@lquidsp]

Would’ve loved to see a cinnamic video showing an example of all these items working

[@markwiemels]

It's on my list!

[@markrationalthinker]

any update to this comment? Would also like to see some footage from hand held work with this rig @@markwiemels

[@KorocheKo]

Thx fo the best prof. recomendation! New subscriber😉👍👏🎥💣🧨

[@markwiemels]

You are most welcome.

[@notblott]

I got the viltrox speed booster, what do you think? It's better than the normal viltrox ef-m adaptor?

[@markwiemels]

One isn’t better than the other, they are different, I have a video on the channel about the comparison.

[@ghostkilla832]

What are your sound settings with that Boya microphone on your Canon M50 camera?

[@markwiemels]

Manual, a bit above 1/2 on the gain, from memory. All the other special settings off.

[@618barbell]

Mark, do you know which accessory is compatible with this cage for hdmi cable protection? Using my m50 fir event live streaming and would like the extra protection. Smallrig haven’t replied to my emails

[@markwiemels]

Smallrig make one with two bolts, it works.

[@618barbell]

@@markwiemels thank you Sir!

[@ezy.doesit]

Great, because of you i am now throwing money left and right to build my rig

[@markwiemels]

I didn't do it! ;-) If it makes you feel any better, I already spent all this money, so you are not alone.

[@carspottin_kj]

This is basically what I did with mine before watching this vid lol

[@markwiemels]

Great to hear!

[@whosyourbrad]

Awesome video mate 🔥🔥

[@markwiemels]

Thanks mate.

[@snowwalker9999]

Canon M50 with HDMI output does not carry the audio if you are using the Atomos Ninja V for external recording (the benefits are recording in better coded and longer recording time). Would the Big Microphone and Recorder that you suggested take care of this problem by recording the audio onto its SD card?

[@markwiemels]

Yes, it would, but you wouldn't have an audio track in the video to easily/automatically sync in editing. So it could be done, would just have to manually line up the audio and the video, which isn't a big deal, but it is a little more fiddly.

[@snowwalker9999]

@@markwiemels Never done that before but it’s worth a try. I just don’t want to have to sell my m50 and buy the mark ii for that reason alone.

[@ww1www]

How happy are you with the Zoom F1-SP. Reviews are quite mixed...

[@markwiemels]

The worst thing about it is the dicky, seemingly fragile, battery door. Mine has held up so far, but it seems like a pretty poor design. Th over build quality, is good otherwise, the mic has some self noise, but it usable for my purposes. Where this unit shines is the versatility and price point. There isn't anything out there, that can do everything this setup can, and it's pretty reasonably priced. So if you need/want that versatility, I would highly recommend it. If you are after the highest quality audio, and don't need the versatility, I would look at something else.

[@ww1www]

@@markwiemels Thanks. I have been eyeing this thing, especially as I already have the H6 with the M/S and XY capsules, so this would add even more versatility.

[@markwiemels]

@@ww1www I have traveled all over the world and the F1-SP, plus an extra lapel mic, is all I bring. I have lots of other, "better", audio gear, but for the space this setup takes up, nothing can compete.

[@alvarogaitan2529]

thanks, Marck fantastic video

You are most welcome.

Amazing

[@markwiemels]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@darkphoenix68]

Honestly, as a dude with a couple of cameras who knows very little about using them beyond basic point and shoot -- we shot a few interviews, a couple of years ago, in less than ideal conditions and had to fight to clean up the audio, but that's about the closest we ever came to "pro" usage -- this has kinda blown my mind. I actually saw another video talking about V-Mount batteries, which intrigued me and got me wondering if they were something I could use with my cameras ... and that led me here. I had never considered -- never even really knew -- that building a rig like this around even our modest M50 was a possibility. This has opened up a whole world of options for me. 🙂

[@tehxperience]

The amount that first microphone is shaking really does show that you didnt test this at all. Theres no way that audio would be usable

[@markwiemels]

It’s a shock mount, so you get some movement, but no noise comes from the movement. It is a directional mic, but not so direction that the movement causes any issues. This is actually how that microphone is designed to work.
