OG BMPCC + Cooke Mini S4/i (ft. Canon R5 and R5C)

Hey, y'all. Here's a montage of the original BMPCC lensed with a set of Cooke MiniS4/is. I think it's a great pair. I slightly wish the BMPCC had an S35 sized sensor. This one features some BTS shot with the Canon R5 and R5C also lensed with Cooke MiniS4/is.

👏👏👏 man the OG paired with this lens is magical.

Thanks for watching, Brother!

Just Wow! 👍

Lovely footage from a camera I still use on some of my projects. However, I noticed that you are not using lens support, unless the follow focus is enough. How heavy is this lens and how heavy of a lens can one use with this camera without lens support?

[@aregal]

Thansk for watching! The nature of the PL mount is rock solid and the lens itself (3.5-3.8lbs) doesn’t need lens support. The support post is on the PL adapter which holds all of the lens’ weight.

[@belomorets]

Huh! Very nice!

[@aregal]

Thanks!

[@uberjava]

For the longest time I have wanted to shoot Cooke SK4s on my OG, but the only lenses available for purchase have been a £23,500 set that is on sale everywhere but with no takers, which is more than a set of MiniS4's..

This is amazing , What MFT to PL adapter used for OG BMPCC to Cooke Mini S4i ?

[@aregal]

Adapter for Arri PL Mount Lens to... www.amazon.com/dp/B08XQPTVXT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@arunr4103]

@@aregal Do we need any lens support?

[@aregal]

@@arunr4103 the PL adapter needs support. Cooke Minis average 3.5-4lbs each. If you’re using it on a camera that has a native PL mount, you don’t need lens support.

[@colinthomas2525]

Amazing video. Curious as to what slider was used?

[@aregal]

Thanks for watching! I used the KesslerCrane CineSlider.

[@colinthomas2525]

@@aregal are you happy with it or would you get something different today?

[@aregal]

@@colinthomas2525 I love it. I’ve even put an ARRI Alexa MiniLF on it with my Cookes. It was just as smooth. The max load is 80lbs. On the daily, I use a DanaDolly for work. I love that thing too but it’s unwieldy unless you have a crew; like we usually do.

[@crs2crs2]

Did you feel that setup needs a lens support? Thank for posting the video, great job!!

[@aregal]

Thanks for watching! The PL mount adapter has a rod support mounted to the 15mm rods. That is more than enough for the Cooke Minis. Now, if I had a Varotal, yes, I would have another support post mount towards the front of that lens.

[@crs2crs2]

@@aregal Thanks for the info!

[@alutzlft]

Nice!! how long are those 15mm rods??

[@aregal]

12” 15mm steel rods by SmallRig

[@aperturefilm]

you used a PL adaptor on the blackmagic ?

[@aregal]

Yup! I used the Haoge PL to M43 adapter.

[@aperturefilm]

@aregal but it doesn't stick with the camera so u had hold it ?

[@aregal]

@@aperturefilm the BMPCC has a M43 mount. That’s home I’m able to attached the M43-to-PL adapter.

[@aperturefilm]

​@@aregal ok wow so I can even use this on my bmpcc4k ?

[@aregal]

@@aperturefilm yup! :)

what monitor did you use?

[@aregal]

I use the Atomos Ninja V. Thanks for watching!!

[@luisemgg]

Hey man I’m looking to use this lens with tilta mirage matte box, wich adapter I need for that?

[@aregal]

You would need a 95mm to 87mm mattebox ring adapter. I do not seem to see any available currently. 114 to 87mm yes but not 95 to 87.

[@aregal]

Further, I got the BrightTangerine 87-114mm adapter ring to use with 114mm matteboxes.

[@TedBorel]

Nice! What top handle is that?

[@aregal]

It’s a SmallRig Mini Top Handle for Lightweight Cameras (cold shoe version) which unfortunately SmallRig no longer sells.

[@TedBorel]

@@aregal Oh yes - I see they still sell the other version w/ 2 1/4" screws- too bad.

[@aregal]

@@TedBorel yeah, I’m seeing that nearly all of the cold shoe top handles are being discontinued from all brands. On my other rigs I’m using the Tiltaing COMPACT NATO top handle. That being said, this SmallRig mini too handles is perfect for the BMPCC
