My Camera Shoulder Rig featuring Z CAM E2-F6, PortKeys, SmallRig, Tilta

[@KONDORBLUE]

Nice Video. Love the new lighting and look! Thanks for featuring some of our accessories!

[@olsonspeed]

Thanks for the valuable Z Cam rig information. Ignore the forum trolls, all they know it how to type.

[@johnkevin7992]

The footage looks absolutely gorgeous!

[@Aaron_Smith_OM]

Not gonna lie, I like the mix-match arms connecting the rig to the handles. That's pretty amazing looking!

[@xl9119]

thx for sharing your shoulder rig set up. since december i am filming with the F6 but i am still looking for a faster solution, for changing from shoulder rig to gimbal in less then two minutes. this was the reason, i prefer z cam over other brands like Canon / Sony. If my work would depend on shoulder work only, i won't go for z-cam but for a regular camera like canon c200. then you have all benefits just inside one body and save money, weight and time

[@thinkoholic9441]

Supernice rig...but will Atomos now create an EVF with 12 bit RAW recording :-)

[@christianjmedia]

Nice VIdeo It was recommended to me! great rig! I Have a Sony FS5 And I love riging it out!

[@Tomas_and_liza]

Try putting in the NPF within the nitze cage, so you can hot swap the v mounts. The camera will draw power from the v mount first. I use that all the time and it really speeds things up on set. My first AC really loves it.

[@eulogiomaldonadojr6774]

I needed to watch this ! I will have a similar set up for my e2c for an upcoming wedding in August. Thanks!

[@MrNokiax201]

Hey man you are using an “e2c” I suppose....I am looking to pick one up myself but I haven’t really found a lot of people or lot of stuff regarding it... I mainly want it for some short films I have planned... but my problem is there in no 120 FPS even for 1080p... but if I am only shooting at 24fps most of the time I feel like I really don’t need it but it’s always a plus to have... I have Nikon lenses I might need to invest in few.... Mirco 4/3 do you think it will be good considering you are using it ?

[@eulogiomaldonadojr6774]

kodavana aakanksh hey brother, I really bought the e2c for its price point. You can’t beat a 799.99 price for a micro 4/3 cinema cam. having it not shoot 120fps even at 1080p is not a deal breaker for me. It’s compact, very buildable, can be used for multi cam scenarios utilizing the rj45 network port, shoots pro res in certain modes etc...... the wedding has been since postpone, so I never got to use it for that. Anyways, it’s a damn good starter cam if money is tight. Hope that helps

@@eulogiomaldonadojr6774 Thanks bro

[@jameilnsmith8674]

Thanks for making this video! and thanks for answering my questions about the Nucleus Nano. Extremely informative. This is definitely the way I want to go once I start building my rig.

[@remyarcher4641]

Great video. I'm interested to know... What is the total cost of the set up?

[@sergeiegorkin7873]

Looks great! Many smart, comfy solutions!

[@frasertomsfilm]

I'm looking into z cam and rigging it out, but for me I'd go with a manual follow focus attached to the base rails. It works for me and my sony setup and shorter handles so that when you do pull focus the weight is still distributed somewhat evenly. My biggest decision might be monitor vs EVF - I think monitor simply because of the ability to shoot low and even holding the top handle. I like the idea of minimizing power consumption needs. Camera, monitor, that's it. But that's just my preference. I'm going to go with shape so I can put one of the handles against my gut here and there for relief which is a nice tip I learned a few years ago. Anyway I appreciate the video.

[@FlannelNinjaTech]

We're fortunate to have so many options. Camera, EVF, hardware - there are multiple companies with good products in these areas.

[@Karthig1987]

The power delivery system and the adaptors are ingenious. So you can have a battery attached and also have the v mount battery behind? What's the box they all connect to before it connects to the camera to provide power? Is it listed in the description too? Very informative video.

[@HoratioBannister]

Great stuff! Thanks for the time and effort. Great job. Much appreciated!

[@ifilm6746]

what lense did you use for those shots.. they look good

[@kidagocreative]

Do you ever find that you want that EVF mounted to the cage instead of that baseplate? The only cage I can find with a rosette on the left side is the tilta. What would you recommend if I wanted to set it up this way?

[@ive595]

Great rig, loads of inspiration thank you.

[@carlosmanuelplasencia]

Thanks for sharing. A few Q's. Have you had any dropped frames or camera errors while shooting. In terms of reliability. Also, and this is something you have to kinda test. Does the camera stop recording when the HDMI cable/monitor is disconnected? Thanks.

[@carlosmanuelplasencia]

@@FlannelNinjaTech Sounds great. Thanks. :)

[@nealhope8922]

I've been looking for an HDMI cable like that for a while, thanks

[@hanshut8124]

It was enjoyable to listen to your skillful interpretation.

[@davidp158]

Nice rig. I read your review of the PORTKEYS OEYE-3G, and hope they would revise this with a quieter fan. Other than the fan noise, how do you like it? BTW, I highly recommend the Tilta focus grip over the Nano focus wheel. The focus grip is sooooo much more ergonomic and offers a few extra features that will make your life easier.

[@avinashrawal7928]

I am a beginner & I have a few questions, looking to get the answers from someone who is a professional like you. 1) bmpcc6k 2) zcam s6 3) zcam f6 Which one to buy? Budget is not a concern till $4000. Second question is why should I get full frame if I am going to shoot in an aspect ratio of

[@avinashrawal7928]

Is it worth to get over bmpcc6k ? What do you think

[@leoquesto9183]

Hi, thanks for the vid. Like your solutions here. We share some similar choices. -- Do you have issues ever with your Tilta Nano ff? I purchased one new in Nov from B&H and it appears to go bonkers, and has from the get-go. Perhaps I just got a bum unit... thanks your thoughts.

[@leoquesto9183]

Flannel Ninja Thanks. I was powering the motor from v-mount, but not the hand unit. It's much improved, powering the handle from external pwr, as well? I'll consider that.

[@leoquesto9183]

Flannel Ninja Oh, goodness, yeah, that's gnarly. Thank you. Will definitely send pwr, then. Thanks a lot.

[@torvca]

I don’t see a link to the dual Arri rosette mount you’re using with the monitor to allow rotation. Could you let us know the specific part?

[@NYCMDP]

I’m looking for the threaded bumper you used on your baseplate

[@burbeeproductions]

Cool rig, do you have a special Pelican case for it ready to shoot?

[@burbeeproductions]

Flannel Ninja I remember it was always a pain putting together a rig before a shoot. On a cool side film gears aren’t so heavy now. Great footage by the way.

[@cedrickprovost4981]

I’m looking to buy a Z-Cam s6 and rig it a lot orrr buy a used EVA-1. What you think i should do?

[@leemjdaley]

Thanks for going through your rig. Is there a new version of the EVF with a less noisy fan?

[@leemjdaley]

@@FlannelNinjaTech ah that would be great, I'll try find out more info on it. Thanks again for all your zcam vids

[@sighthoundmedia2386]

can you link those rubber bumpers?

[@contuitus]

Instant subscription.

[@alessandrovalentino3406]

How long have you been shooting with the Z-cam e2 F6? Is it's software compatible with Mac? What is the workflow like on that camera?

[@xl9119]

​@@FlannelNinjaTech which converter are you using for transcoding h265 to prores? and: whats the reason you are using this 8k workflow? usually, i would never advise to upscale footage from 6k to 8k and then again let yt downscale it? the only thing i might expect from this workflow are aliasing issues which will result from pixel remapping.

[@TZOBIEntertainment]

Try using a Zhiyun Crane 3

[@petrub27]

Everyone can use a gimbal it takes no skills. Nobody will hire you for that. A shoulder rig is supperb, such a natural flow of the movement, it's great. Also, a steady cam is what you want instead of a gimbal, imo

[@jopvandekam]

Gimbal vs steadicam really depends on the situation.

[@niyomcamp]

Like 😊

[@manuelbustamante2664]

What a terrible mess of cables. I would never choose something like this for live events, it's ridiculously overkill...
