Very cool design. I’m interested in buying this. Is the multifunction hot shoe relocation cable compatible with this cage?

How do you power it though? DTAP to USB C PD?

But why would you do this?? The advantage of SDI outputs are that they don't have an internal lag like HDMI. So if you have lag from HDMI and then you're feeding it into SDI, What is the advantage? Why would one want to do this unless they only had SDI gear?

It's nice but the reason I bought the FX6 is that I wanted to be done with the robocop add-ons on my BMPCC. An FX3 is good for a gymbal, but if you are robocopping it into a cine-body you might as well buy a FX6. Way more neat to have that bigger body with XLR, with a big battery, without all the little cables and adapters. I had to do some interviews for a political party and one mini XLR to XLR cable on my setup was defect. I thought, enough is enough, sell it all, buy a nice FX6.

But why not show it all hooked up and running? Doesn't the micro converter need power? How much power does it draw in a one battery setup that's already powering a camera, monitor, and potentially other items. Don't get me wrong, this is a really cool idea, I just would've liked to see it up running.

Caleb, I LOVE this product but I’m gonna be that annoying person that wants more…. Any chance you could make one that fits the bi-directional sdi-hdmi converter? That model is amazing for live stream/broadcast folks like myself. It allows either sending program/multiview back to camera operators or with only one input it acts as a splitter which is the lowest latency way to get into the switcher by going camera hdmi into it, then hdmi out to a monitor and sdi out to the switcher. The versatility is amazing.

Wait I can have SDI on my A7IV now!

I sent a message on your IG asking if the ad i saw on FB Philippines was a legit product from CF or was it a copy? Ry formerly from Dubai

Interesting design! Just have a couple suggestions after watching your video. Allen or torx fasteners for side pieces vs Philips would be a lot nicer. A cheese plate option for the rear of the unit for those of us that have a v mount or gold mount plate already. A hidden dtap inside the door area. Not on the door, just directly behind the camera so one could choose to plug in there for power from a dummy battery etc and hide the cable. A 3.5mm audio jack to XLR solution would be a nice upsell add on. Think wooden camera A box or similar. A flatter side door with some more 1/4-20’s.

It reminds me of an article I saw about a rental house who made a similar cine-style box for the Fuji GFX100 II, but I don't believe theirs was for sale. I'd really like to see how you would go about rigging it up with a top handle, a monitor, shotgun mic, maybe a HDMI transmitter, etc and then using it in a shoot. I have a C70, not an R5C or anything, but I still think it looks pretty cool.

There are a bunch of these available on Etsy for cheaper, some interesting designs Not as many mounting holes as this one though

Have we hit peak mirrorless now!? Looks great Caleb, now release the s5ii CineBack! <3

this is truly 3D printing at its best. a thing that connects a thing to another thing.

lovely mounting solution 👍

I would love to have a slot for Video Transmission like the cvw Crystal Video Pro 200. Maybe in a later version :P

Will the R8 fit in this?

I don't have this camera yet, i really love how it looks with the cage

Hello year later, great video! I was wondering when is the version of the SM58 with switch is going to drop?

Just got the FX30 Gold mount cineback in this week. I noticed that there is a D tap on the side of the battery plate, can I charge from there?

Treefitie. Damn.

This rig would be so much more practical if the camera had external touchscreen support.

What screwdriver is most suitable for this job?

blackmagic pocket 4k... CineBack please

How about the eos r5ii ,it will fit?

Is possible to replace the plastic (3D printed) element? As an environmental documentary film maker, even more plastic in the environment is disappointing. However, great design and idea.

Can someone answer me if it works with smallrig black mamba cage for canon R5 mark1?

Hey Caleb this is great! Any intention on eventually making a GH6/7 unit?

Any news about zv-e1 version to print? :p August 2024 is almost over ;p

Will This work with the Canon R5II? I am waiting for tilta or smallrig to come out with a cage for my R5markii but would love to rig it up with cineback. I love my cineback for my FX3 but would love to get this one as well!

Do you think it works with a Canon R8 too?

Just get the C400…

Sony 7cii?

When are tou making the A1 series?

Juat buy c400 folks

Yow do you still sell these I want one I dont own a 3d printer nor know anyone that owns one.

Nice! Thank for your work Make one for fujifilm XH2s please!!!

The benefit of the R5C is that it’s small and minimalistic. This is an ironic product.

correct me if i'm wrong: the two compatible cages you'd mentioned only mount to the camera via the threaded holes on the bottom? is there no other point of contact that's secured to the camera directly?

Looks nice, but what's the point? Are you going to shoot a 100 people crew film with it? Or you're gonna be alone 99.99% of the time while shooting? You lose an EVF which is the most crucial thing on a camera, without it you will either miss your exposure, wb and focus all the time, or you will be 3 times slower on a the set becuase you're using camera assists. People using "a couple of grand" cameras need to stop rigging them, it makes no sense for the type of work they do.

can it work with r5 mark ii

Get it, Caleb! Keep 'em comin!

Can't wait for the Lumix version 😉

you be making this compatible with the kondor blue cage or 8sinn cage?

Ai jai jai - this is sick! Please develop one for the Lumix 5IIX Thank you :D

finally

I would love an s5ii version

It would awesome if you made this for the grip camera cages as well for verticle shooters and especially when you guys make it for the r5mkii

Is it compatible with the Canon R5 Mark II

How was I not aware that you had this camera... I swear CZcams is hiding my subscription feed for some people

Delivery Region no Hong Kong 🥲🥲
