GH5 Cinema Set-up & Tests

[@AndreasBlindheim]

11:47 "This cheap little camera" Now I feel even more poor than before I saw the video😂💔

[@Ashershridh]

Fuck haha

[@andrewsvj4606]

Can u send me a camera.

[@startupoutdoors9474]

That put me down hahah I been looking to buy for months can’t seem to build the courage to swipe!!

[@MoosaMate]

I thought I am the only who thought of that when he said it!

[@lacythompsonjr5209]

Tom, this has to be one of the best examples of super high production values for KZbin reviews or for that matter, any video. I'm watching on a recent LG OLED monitor in UHD and every shot is tack on for focus, Color looks great. Lighting and exposure look stellar. Audio is perfect. Certainly am going to come back to this as a benchmark for work (audio tutorials) I will be doing. Was particularly blown away by the outdoor shot where to Atomos monitor was virtually indistinguishable from the actual scent in both light level and color fidelity. We are truly lucky to be living in a time where such high quality tools are available. It's nice to see someone actually use these tools at such a high level. Thanks for your reviews. I enjoy them!

[@YoungBlaze]

Damn you took new electronics out into the rain.....you brave!

[@WildBikerBill]

You got that right - especially the Atomos Ninja Inferno with those cooling vents right on top.

[@AntosMedia]

Yup and it worked great!

[@TomAntos]

YoungBlaze Of Chitown I like to live on the edge ;-)

[@IAMDIMITRI]

I was freaking out when I saw that >

[@TomAntos]

Dimitri T I always do that it seems. I'm actually outdoors right now filming on a new camera I got and it started raining like crazy.

[@BestEverFoodReviewShow]

No offense, but camera tests of leaves and flowers are nearly worthless. All camera tests should include a human and some med/CU shots, so we can see skin tone and compare it to other images we've seen.

[@AlphaCentauri24]

Perfectly said. Also it should be at normal speed.

[@pumpum000]

oh god please do more camera rigs like this, i think i have a weird fetish for them...

[@MrMovieMan941]

You are not alone my friend :D

[@Filmtour]

its an addiction xD

[@ianmiles8635]

Me too man

[@brianlin6433]

same here. Oh hey, we are the Fantastic Four in this comment looooool

[@SethTerwilliger]

Brilliant! Thank you so much! have had my gh5 for a couple months and have been searching for a video to help me set it up in the most cinematic way :)

[@juniorclaverirakoze4375]

fabulous set up

[@MenaCourtadeProductions]

This video has helped me for over 2 years thank you sir

[@Filmtour]

the cage loos super great!

[@LovelyMonkeys]

Really love your channel and thanks for this nice video!

[@LeeZavitz]

The inferno rips through f970 batteries. I did a test and it ranges between 30-45mins per battery. Thats with the screen brightness at half.

[@soleiljaan805]

Crossfiyah buy more batteries lol

[@PeteWoronowski]

Great video and covers a lot with the cage and monitor. Thanks Tom!

[@breezbreezman7419]

Hi Tom....Your teaching is really amazing...I like that,u made getting a cheap cameras working like most expensive stuffs.

[@KarimJovian]

oh my you weren't scared of the rain? Beautiful rig. I just recently bought one. Anyway I can watch your films?

[@londonkeith4804]

Instablaster...

[@gonzojimbo]

Useful throughout. Thanks!

[@gigijobava]

Vielen Dank Tom Antos. Für dieses interessante Video.

[@spectatorofallthings6587]

I’m here trying not to cry! It’s all getting wet all that equipment is in the rain and I’m here wondering if I’ll ever be able to afford such an amazing setup omg

[@AngelFrancoart]

Gracias Tom Gh5 anamorphic!

[@bennyblaze6558]

awesome channel, just subscribed. great info and like your editing. Keep up the great work bud !!!

[@ObjectiveComplete]

wow! you have everything I want for my GH5!!!!!

[@truepakistanitv5779]

Great tutorial bro

[@LeaperiteProductionsLLC]

I wish I had enough money to play with these toys... Thank you so much for the amazing video! My GH4 needs a bigger brother... GH5...

[@JairajSinghPatil]

Heath Ross Productions and here I am shooting with my smartphone lol

[@laginw]

Heath Ross Productions LOL, i'm still shooting with my G85 and a pack of $200 lens.

[@ebviboy]

I love it!!

[@narasenaiman]

Love your setUp , i hope sometimes i have same stuff like you 😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@DominikGolab]

Oh wow, I've been watching your videos all evening and just read the description. Dzień dobry.

[@VideoMarketingExperts]

Thanks for this great video!

[@rzeznik105]

Pierwszy raz oglądając film Polaka myślałem, że to kolejna produkcja z za wielkiej wody :D Pozdrowionka :D

[@samkent9029]

with all your creative mind and equipment i'd love to see you make a feature.

[@FRANKRICECOLD209]

Also it Would Be Great to Share How To Set up The GH5 For the Best Video / Music Video Settings Thanks So Much man i Love Your Stuff

[@hariomdigitalstudiotv7391]

Awesome sir

[@K1tips]

thank you

[@ah-ray]

The CR and aberations of those lenses is really bad, also I don't the radioactive blue flares, but that's just personal taste. Great video btw, I love your enthousiasm!

[@TomAntos]

Remco Ardui thanks

[@cinemasteve87]

I agree. The fringing on these lenses are far more pronounced and more distracting than other anamorphic cinema lenses i.e. Hawks, Kowas, Elites, Lomos.

[@TomAntos]

Remco Ardui yes but the pricing on those other anamorphic lenses is far more pronounced ;-)

[@cinemasteve87]

True :) That's why renting I feel is the better option.

[@TomAntos]

CinemaSteve if renting is affordable then sure. but some anamorphic lenses cost as much to rent per day as it costs to buy these

[@pharmeee]

Cool video man I expected a little better from the lenses but I guess you really have to spend a lot to get a film quality anamorphic lens

[@JackMcDonnell91]

such a good video! thank you!

[@pty_foto]

Great video! As always :)

[@PawelTableTennis]

Super!

[@rockout13productions]

Hey Tom. What cinema lense would you recommend for profile close-up on a GH5, that will NOT distort a person's face? I guess I'm referring to best focal length for close-ups.

[@albertonico1000]

which ones are these anamorphic lenses?? great video thanks!!

[@luucamNY]

Cool vid is all 3 of those lens produce such fringing ? And CA ?

[@ALLTHINGSCINEMA24]

Hey Tom, great content! Seen a couple of your videos.. also I just upgrade my GH4 to the NOW GH5s!! I love the rig.. how much would you say your total set cost is? (GH5: $2000 + Anamorph lens + cage + matte box + follow focus + NINJA + shoulder support) ??

[@squantrill]

thank you great video

[@raztechstudios]

Hey Tom. Are you planning on doing a full review video on the gh5. Thanks

[@TomAntos]

raztechstudios Yes. I need more time to work with the camera on actual film shoots before I can have enough real world experience to talk about how this camera really performs.

[@raztechstudios]

Sweet. Sounds good. Looking forward to it. How are you liking it so far?

[@TomAntos]

raztechstudios it's got a lot of neat features. but is it a big enough update to warrant an update from the GH4? still not sure on that.

[@Hhhhhhhhbbbv]

Very nice

[@MygenteTV]

what gear and set up did you used to do this video?thank you

[@RomeoFilms]

Thxx

[@JimStrykowskiProducer]

RE lensing question: my goal is boxing action short films at the moment, with a few corporate instructional/town hall events and interview candids.

[@JoshuaDanger]

will that cage support the metabones speed booster?

[@HackMyControlSystem]

Did you ever get around to weighing this? Great video.

[@TomAntos]

Hack My Control System yes. The video of me measuring the weight and more is on my website. Link is in the description

[@HackMyControlSystem]

Thanks! Your hardware list turned into my shopping list.

[@GravityGamesHD]

Please test the 6k 30fps photo mode :)

[@Holtenstein]

Is it possible to set it to 24fps? Cause 30 isn't as useful.

[@PsychonautTV]

GRAVITY duh, 4K 24 25 30 50 60 1080p 24-180

[@GravityGamesHD]

GraveyardMinerTM I know haha im just curious about the 6k "video" mode

[@Kyzox2000]

there's no 6k video mode, there will be no.

[@GravityGamesHD]

Kyzox Pictures You might be right, there is a 6k 30fps continuos photo mode though vimeo.com/198883121

[@nikmiddelman62]

lets spend 6k right away! nice setup tho :D

[@abhisheksuraj]

Bro, u Rock

[@littletheatrefilms5825]

What arm did you use for the inferno? Looks really well built.

[@TomAntos]

Little Theatre Films it is from Lanparte

[@littletheatrefilms5825]

Another question if you have second. I notice you still film with the GH4. Is there a reason or a video that you explain why you don't use the GH5? I'm debating a GH5 but I have an Atomos Inferno so I wonder if the GH4 is a cheaper better option as a second camera to my C100. Also, I've been watching you from the beginning and truly appreciate the content and your last short. Thank you.

[@KozKreoleKwenKomedi]

Hi, was wonder if you would mind sharing how much the whole setup cost

[@m_schneider]

Hey Tom, which gh5 dummy battery are you using?

[@TheNorfolkHoneyCo]

Hi Tom, Great set up, thanks for the video. I have just started using a GH5 for my videos, I'm a beekeeper first and youtuber second and struggle with what the best setup for quality should be. I want 4k but there are so many different options it's bewildering for the novice. Trying to shoot in full manual when you have an angry beehive open in front of you can be very testing so I'm currently shooting on Programme mode (don't hate me!). Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks in advance. Stewart

[@babjinaidudevavarapu4397]

amazing

[@Abdallah_yusuf]

wow that was awesome., I got simple question. does Panasonic GH5 water proof coz you shot on a rainy day and the camera was wet plus how much does it cost the camera with the gear not with the lenses?

[@KobusGevelspar]

Tom! Thanks for the review. Can I have your opinion on the GH5 and creating shallow depth of field? I'm considering buying one, but really like the DOF.

[@jorgenmalmo]

Is there any way that you can record directly to a PC?

[@PhotoArtBrussels]

Tom, you probably get a million questions ... here goes mine: we are starting out filming car events, car races on racetracks, brand club events, etc ... in a pro-am duo. Is it best to film with fixed focus or auto focus? I'm in doubt between the Sony AX700, Canon Legria GX10, Panasonic GH5, Sony a6500, Sony A7 series ..... camcorder or photo camera. If anybody else has some tips, it would be greatly appreciated! Our purpose is to grow to a pro outfit.

[@MaxMiesen]

How is that shoulder mount supposed to help if you don't have handles

[@SteveFullick]

Very cool stuff, for sure. But, I am working with the GH4, and my budget would never allow for those lenses. Maybe someday. The Cametv cage does look useful, though. And for now, I could possibly just use my old phone as a larger external screen. What do you think?

[@TomAntos]

Steve Fullick if you already have the GH4 then I'd say stick with it. The GH5 has some great features but it's not something everyone needs. Main things are the in body stabilization and 10bit recording. If you don't need these features then no reason to upgrade.

[@mkolars]

the SLR Magic Prime Ana Lens kit goes for USD 8500 if i am not mistaken, a bargain to say at least. And Tom the Inferno is not weather sealed, you literally saw it raining into the vents (aargh...), the lenses should be ok, if soon dried BUT still..... yes i also would like to see faces and skin tones with more dramatic lighting to see beautiful flares, the fringing thou didn't look that great...

[@SurvivalDummy]

As a Filmmaker, I'm so... so... FUCKING JEALOUS! ;-) What an Equipment...

[@tavispinnful]

Did you have Latency issues with the Inferno via HDMI out?

[@richardsingh4368]

So would you suggest these lenses for wedding and other events? if not what lenses would you say I could use for weddings if you had to choose two or three lenses on a budget. I will buy the gh5 for body.

[@paulosilveira9375]

super nice!!! hey,... why u put a atomos inferno in GH5? I'd like this lumix just because it can shut in internal 10bits 4:2:2, so, the atamos can improve something more? thanks a lot

[@BluesWaveBlues]

Tom, what HDMI cable do you use in this video

[@EclipseVisualSystems]

Do you have an opinion on how the stabilization would work with the Eclipse Rovers?

[@VionGaming]

What filters did he use in the Matt box?

[@jamesmarshall2444]

Vion Films hi, did you find out and answer for the filters please, I'm trying to find some also for the sign Cheers

[@ITSMYTIME]

is it full frame sensor or what?

[@daogariualex5115]

Hey Tom! I was wondering about SLR Magic lens set. How they behave on GH5. Distorsion, chromatic aberations, low light, things like that. There is little information about these lense. Thanks!

[@AlexWilkinsonYYC]

Look at it. It performs terribly. Chromatic aberration everywhere in his test video. I usually don't care about pixel peepers and chromatic aberration, etc, but it's brutal on these lenses. To the point where it's actually distracting from the shot.

[@j.oakley9588]

While I appreciate videos like this, it seems like we’re always seeing KZbin dudes playing with all kinds of cameras and monitors and building “rigs”. But we never really see any actual films they’ve done. Usually it’s an okay short film that might as well be shot on a lower end DSLR...or some silly ass “travel” video BS. I’ve learned a lot, and these channels are alright. It’s just frustrating thinking guys like this have piles of cameras, lenses, and other expensive gear just sitting in a room looking pretty.

[@Rob0fheDead]

Where did you get the lens support from? I can't find it. Also, what is that ring you have around the 50mm? It looks like something of a workaround to the rotating front of the lens. I have the 35mm and hate that it rotates, because it makes screw on polarizes ruin the shot once you pull focus

[@dan_hitchman007]

In the video Tom said the supports for those particular lenses were made by the same company.

[@staylostudio9]

Hey Tom. I was considering purchasing the blackmagic cinema camera 2.5k or the gh5 for narrative projects. which one would you recommend

[@chrisstrikes]

Hi Tom, I saw you did a review on the camtree rig a couple years ago. I know the Camtree is significantly cheaper in price, but how do the (latest) Camtree and the Came-tv rigs compare in build quality, durability and functionality?

[@FrancContreras_FrancMex]

Hey Tom, how did you mount that Atomos monitor to the rig? I'm having a hard time finding parts.

[@TTURBOVOLVO]

A clamp arm will work wonders. www.aliexpress.com/item/Super-Clamp-7-11-inches-Adjustable-Magic-Articulated-Arm-for-Mounting-HDMI-Monitor-LED-Light-LCD/32889197526.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3d9c4c4dKQPy6Q

[@csun1578]

Hi Tom, Thanks for sharing! How are the waterproof features of the camera and the lenses?

[@TomAntos]

chun sun the camera and lenses performed without problems in the rain. I know gh5 is weather sealed but I don't think the lenses are.

[@MohitKumar-kd4po]

sir i want to know that which three lens is using by you in this video

[@AkashRoy-bk2ge]

what will be the cost along with these accessories ?

[@JimStrykowskiProducer]

Just bought the Gh5/will arrive in two days, Ninja V, working on lenses now. I'm leaning to manual focus primes to get started back into filming (I've been only producing corporate live gigs for 20 years out of film school). Any suggestions on lensing? PS, my alias is Benny Hanna-left a comment on another post. This is Strykowski/JStryker.

[@TTURBOVOLVO]

I love my 18-35 with metabones.

[@ChrisTopheRaz]

How much did this whole set up cost?

[@sirzavier]

Cool

[@zaynfredly]

Nice

[@jeyaprakash1184]

This all cage set on the Sony a9?

[@DerekMantei]

You're doing god's work tom

[@Holtenstein]

Cooke or Hawk PL mount lenses rent here in LA for $700 per lens per day. But they only rent in sets of 6-8 lenses. Thats $4200-5600 per day to rent just the Glass!!

[@TomAntos]

Steve Holt unfortunately that's the reason why most talented filmmakers will not be able to shoot on those lenses

[@techtreko]

Overpriced Glass!

[@HKMUSICWORLDTV]

Super vidéo i got the gh5 with the canon ef 70 mm 200 mm lens I need the monitor 4K with the less delay do you have any suggestions ?

[@northtexasflyer3499]

Sir, I'm wondering what adapter you used to connect to your matt box? It looks like some attachment. With the SLR anamorphic lenses the focus ring is so close to the lens opening (end). I'm just wondering how to attach a matt box and it looks like you solved it. Thanks

[@MountUpMedia]

So you don’t need the SSD card to unlock the 4K 60fps ?

[@MUENTERMEDIA]

No, the GH5 can record this directly to the SD card

[@samjames2552]

What would you estimate to be the entire cost of the rig (including camera) that you assembled in the video?

[@Chiken1012]

GH5 - $1,999.99 Anamorphic Lenses - $8,500.00 Atomos Ninja Inferno - $995.00 CAME-TV Studio Rig - $978.00 not sure about his tripod and what not.

[@samjames2552]

thanks! It helps to keep perspective of the outlay for such a kit.

[@Chiken1012]

sam james you're welcome!

[@produccionesjuareznehega-t1966]

How much does the GH5 lumix camera cost with all its accessories that you show in the video .....? Could you please inform me if you answer me as soon as possible. I have thought to acquire it. greetings from Peru .. I love the cameras :)

[@Filmmaker809]

What is the focus system you are using please?

[@umeshgoswami2083]

How much for this full set up ?

[@WanDzul78]

I wonder if this rig can be mount on dji ronin m and steadicam/flycam vest & arm..

[@SharkBiscuitSakon]

i have to buy one new camera for video. do you thing i have to buy the sony a7s II or the gh5? will be really cool if you answer me. thanks

[@TomAntos]

Shark Biscuit you can buy both. They are both great cameras. Which is better for you depends on what you need it for. What type of videos do you need to shoot?

[@SharkBiscuitSakon]

Usually i need it for music videoclips, but im really interested to have one nice cinematic look on my videos

[@TomAntos]

Shark Biscuit do you shoot music videos on a low budget with little or no lights? Also do you like to shoot a lot of slow motion?

[@SharkBiscuitSakon]

i think that 120 fps of sony are enought even if gh5 have 180, and i know that the sony is a monster in low light, and for that my choise was the sony but i listened about a lot of problems like: only 8bit and banding vs 10bit of gh5. or too much noise on s-logs. so i need one camera that will really help me to have a very nice quality without fix too much in post.

[@TomAntos]

so go with the Sony. there isn't a perfect camera. if you can spend a little more go with URSA Mini 4.6k if you want best quality but u don't mind the size

[@TheFitchproductions]

Is the GH4 still worth a buy for my A camera? I'm on a budget

[@PrabhjotSingh-eq3gc]

I would very strongly recommend lumix g7. The image quality is literarily similar and its low light is way better then gh4.

[@TheFitchproductions]

jot saini G7 seems too small. is it really worth it?

[@jordanlin4437]

Those chromatic aberration doe

[@cjkalandek996]

Does this rig work with the GH4?

[@nissanfreak22]

Noob question: How does resolution work for anamorphic lenses/footage? Like, what was the output resolution for the footage that you shot in 4k?

[@TomAntos]

Kyle Armstrong output resolution is still UHD on the atomos recorder. Internally it's higher vertically but it doesn't make a difference unless you plan to finish higher than 4K

[@nissanfreak22]

Tom Antos Huh, okay that's interesting. So once you take the file and starting editing it what resolution is the original file? For example, in HD (not UHD) would it be something like 2560x1080 or is the higher resolution capped at 1920. Sorry if I don't make much sense, not sure how to explain it. 😩
