What a monster rig!

[@ocimaging]

Loved this thing from the very first time I saw it. Right now it doesn’t fit my workflow but one of these days I’m getting it.

[@neilfullframe]

I’ve really enjoyed it thus far. Just gives me such a different feeling for use.

[@SigmaCarta]

Thank you Neil, this is an interesting proposition. We're about to purchase 3 Panasonic S5iix cameras for our studio set up

[@neilfullframe]

You’re very welcome and thank you for checking out the video. I love the product as you can tell and I think it would be great for those bodies.

[@CoreSWX]

Great build!🙌 Great choice of song too 🤘

[@neilfullframe]

Thank you 🙏🏼 and yeah one of my favorites bands. Jealous you got to see them 😬

[@rizzo-films]

Opinions? Thoughts? Tips? Would like to hear your perspective on it but at least someone (who isnt RigidPro) is making videos about this device! Im very curious about it.

[@neilfullframe]

Hey 👋 I will say I do like the product, I like how it aesthetically changes the body and the form factor. I’ve had zero issues with it and the power distribution that it offers. I appreciate all the mounting points. Overall it’s a great piece of kit. There’s really nothing bad to say about it. I’m looking forward to the handle that they’re coming out with to go with this CineRig back.

[@TheAdamToy]

What a beast!

[@neilfullframe]

I love it !

[@JabDFilms]

great build but i would say get a thinner shorter hdmi cord . but other than that great jawn

[@cbcinematics]

Nicely done video. Camera end result looks cool! Nice to see this on a Lumix body instead of a sony FX3!

[@neilfullframe]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 just trying to shine so more light on these incredible value packed cameras. I appreciate you taking the time to watch this.

[@juliushobgood]

Clean build!

[@neilfullframe]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Brookssmedia]

I was laughing when I saw you forgot lol I’m like he has to do this all over again

[@neilfullframe]

LOL naahhh man 😂 it’s totally ok and ain’t no way I was repeating all of that.

[@ocimaging]

😂😂

[@user-dv5ri2no7p]

The weight now makes it impossible to use a handheld gimbal, so how do you stay stable while shooting video?

[@neilfullframe]

The weight alone of the camera should provide for more stable movements. In addition the high IBIS setting on the S5II/X can virtually render gimbals as non necessary. Just my opinion

[@goodgremlinmedia2757]

If the monitor could be folded out sideways and fit into the slot on the big batttery thing you would have an info display on the side and a monitor up top like most cinema camera have

[@RigidPRO]

It does, but Neil forgot to flip it out unfortunately.

[@LasseFrisk]

Nice!

[@neilfullframe]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@neilfullframe]

Thank you so much, cheers !

[@LasseFrisk]

@@neilfullframe Now i think my s52x looks so small.. Need to make an upgrade like you did!

[@neilfullframe]

@@LasseFriskI’d say go for it. It changes the camera so much for the better.

[@TopshelfJunior]

You experience any buzz / or hum or any type of noise coming from that setup ?

[@neilfullframe]

Hey there, no not at all. If it does some sort of noise I certainly couldn’t hear it. Although I guess I can test that under a load and report back.

[@TopshelfJunior]

@@neilfullframe Word, no need to test.. I was just wondering because, I saw a YT video of somebody else also building the same rig for the same camera, and they might have used a few different items / cables, and they reported a fan coming on, and some sort of buzz. But since you’re not hearing it, then it must have been something with their setup.

[@ckriznc]

HELLO FRIEND, I hope you answer this question, I have the same thing, what I want is to do this, I want to use a battery like a smallrig to power, I don't want to buy my own camera batteries, but I also want to use an external SSD to record my videos, now the problem is that it only has a type C input, HOW DO YOU DO IN THAT CASE, not if there are options on the market for any adapter to connect through a type c adpator to hdmi or more inputs to attic c to C? OR WON'T IT BE PROBLEMS LIKE BURNING THE CAMERA PLATE? Either it is using one of two, either using the external SSD with its own camera batteries or using the SD for the camera.. thank you I hope you answer me

[@neilfullframe]

Hello, I don’t believe there is a solution for your needs. I wouldn’t even trust a cable, adapter or splitter in that use case. Splitting power delivery and simultaneously trying to pass through data to a different channel is not recommended. The only option you could have is a dtap to dummy battery into your camera for power and then that keeps your usb c free for the SSD. Smallrig makes a V mount plate that doesn’t require you have to rig out your camera with baseplate, rails and etc. So essentially just the plate and v mount battery of your choice. Really compact and functional.

[@ckriznc]

@@neilfullframe THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSE GRATEFUL

[@neilfullframe]

@@ckrizncabsolutely, you’re welcome

[@JabDFilms]

@@ckriznc you can always buy an atomos ninja and use that for ssd recording. thats what i do and use the usbc for power delivery
