SIGMA fp Cinema Rig - If I was to build one...

- I get asked these questions all the time: How do I rig the fp? What SSD do I use? What cage do I use? What adapter do I use? ... The reality is, I bought the little fp because of how minimalist it is, but if I absolutely had to build this thing into a monster rig, this is what I would do.

Researching the current crop of cameras after a few years away from shooting and you've definitely convinced me to get an FP. Your enthusiasm about this camera is infectious. Love the channel, man.
Put a thermal pad between the SSD and metal plate so that it dissipates heat faster and stays cooler.
Yeah i think the sound it make is from the included cheap thermal pad boiling. Guess a good one wouldn't?
Pretty sure that foam WAS a thermal pad
Justin, these videos you've been making on the FP are amazing. Thanks for all the tips! Love the small scale of this camera and the quality of the image is just insane! Great work sir.
Yep. Image Quality because of CinemaDNG. And "small scale" i.e. size, means you can place this camera just about anywhere. In a closet, a drawer, Fridge, you name it, for any angled shots impossible or hard to do with big cameras. You could also put it on a drone... but that's another story.
really nice shots of gritty LA
Hate is just a twisted form of love. SUBSCRIBED - thanks for the content
This was just beautiful!!!! Thank you - Your passion for the fp is infectious!!! Love the NVME drive on the side, its really cool!!!! Its great to find someone who is so passionate about the SIGMA fp and the advice and stuff you showed was so helpful. I have definitely subscribed to you and thank you.
You make so much sigma content that sigma gonna send you their next cinema camera! I'm so glad you do because there isn't enough videos about it.....one thing I would love to see is the sigma against the Red komdo. Like how you could match the footage.
Yes...Komodo against fp
that in and out focus are so organic that it makes it look so much more nice and artsy!!!
My sigma fp is on the way. Can’t wait
That v mount belt clip is fucking gold!!,
Masterfully done sir!! 🙏🏾😄. On Specs alone I knew this unit was a hidden gem! I’m so thankful someone had the courage to take this journey! So much fun and quality here!
it's always a pleasure getting and watching content from You and I hope You get well soon man
Always great watching an honest CZcamsr who's trying to answer the questions of the community and assist others with user experience
Dude, the footage quality you’re getting from the FP is impressive.
I’ve been looking for a small cinema camera to create a small rig and this might be the winner. Love these videos.
The bearded actor is great. I'd love to see you do a low budget feature with the vibe we get from these shorts.
oh yea! tryin to get the budget up!
Excellent work
I’m never planning on picking up a Sigma FP, but I watched the entire video anyway! Always fun and informative content! 👌
Love the videos man especially the sigma stuff can't wait to see the DR tests you do with it
Incredible, bro'. I've been looking at a million cameras and recalled your video about the Sigma FP and it all came back to me. I'm def putting this together for business and pleasure. I appreciate your videos. Top-notch. Singlehandedly carrying Sigma FPs with these.
Awesome rig review! Love the fp!!
I've been watching your channel for a few years now since i finished school and i wanted to get into the industry. I am currently working on TV shows and i wanna say thank you for the stuff i learnt from you .
Dude thanks for the gear breakdown. This was super helpful and I definitely sub'd!!!!
Your reviews about Sigma FP convinced me to buy one soon. Thanks great videos😅👍
im from nigeria west africa ...i just got my sigma fp and i think im almost ready to go on with my filming projects...thank you mr justin
I just thumbed up and subscribed buddy. Great content! Im learning a lot ... and purchasing the Sig-fp because of you. thank you.
Found your channel yesterday.. loving the content.
That video footage is insane. You are a talented film maker
The problem is vibration when powering the SSD , its vibrating inside , get some thermal pads , put it under and above , it will help with heat , and kill the vibration .
or if you dont know how to do it , i do camera modification so you can send it to me .
great video 🔥🔥
Thanks!
Love your videos!
That's a sick rig
Please make a comparison shot between Komodo vs SigmaFP. Thank You in advance. Your content is brilliant Sir.
love your content mate :P just saw your video...lov it lov it just subscribed
just subbed cuz you are sort of the indie filmmaker version of Ed Norton's "Worm" from Rounders
Fantastic video.
Oooh this gon be fun 🙂
Wow. Even rigged out it's still a tiny package.👌
I had the chirping with the Sabrent too with the Dark Power caddy, when I removed the foam it was fine, so I concur with your findings.
Thank you so much
Brilliant.
get well! I moved back to canon but love the mini rig. maybe a B cam to dabble with
glad to see darkpowerlaboratory products are getting some love
I've been keeping eye out for an fp but no luck yet. This is inspiring to make a 3d printed adapter to slide in Samsung T5/T7's. Certainly not as pro and cool looking as this, but a bit cheaper maybe. Still on the fp search since your last video on it.
What you could do is use some of the graphite thermal pads for CPUs that Linus Tech tips previewed. It's 16 dollars with prime on Amazon. - Innovation Cooling Graphite Thermal Pad - Permanent Replacement for Thermal Paste/Grease(40x40mm 2-Pack)
That is amazing! I would just recommend having a slightly brighter video. I'm squinting!
Thanks 👏👏🙂
6:59 That is not a foam, that is a thermal pad to pass the heat to the enclosure.
Have used Power's stuff as well. It's so well designed he gets comments that Sigma should literally hire him to make their cine accessories.
You had me at “I hate wires”. Obviously I’m a terrible spark.
Hey there ... really enjoying your videos...thanks for that ;)
about the chriping noise you have with the SSD... take the copper plate out and put some thermal compound pads on it ... on both sides if you want... since the SSD case is made out of metal, it will dissaped the heat out of the ssd (controller chip and Ram chips)... downside maybe is, that the case gets realy hot and will be uncomfortable, or you can get burned ... NVME-SSD's can get to 70-90°C (158-194°F)
Great video on this little beast of a camera. I would love to see a video on it with the new dji lidar system for autofocus. What do you think???
I'm a fellow subscriber. I own the komodo as well as always good to see what you have coming out.
I watch your videos for relax men:-)
I have the Sigma Fp L decked out.
Hi Justin. I am just about to order the SSD holder from Dark Labs. Good to know about the chirpy SSD. Might ask them what one they use. Great rig, by the way, but I do like the fp when it’s super minimal.
Thanks for this fascinating video. Other commenter have suggested a Red Komodo vs. Sigma FP image quality comparison, which I'd also love to see. Related to that, and maybe as part of that, I'd be interested in your thoughts regarding shooting super 35 vs. full frame. Thanks!
Great content. I love that power solution. I have been using the Dark Power finger grip. It is super minimal and provides a good grip.
I also love the EVF and Dark Power drive combo. I am using the Tentacle sync and Tentacle Track e as a miniature audio solution. Keeping it lean is what makes the FP special.
Are you using the nicey rig grip for additional mounting options?
how do you navigate their website? i tried translating to english with 0 success
Hey Justin, I'm really interested in the filters you use and how you use them... would really appreciate a video covering it... i hope I'm not asking a lot.... also get well soon my g
Justin, thanks for the great vid. How many hours would you say you can power just the Sigma FP with the 98w V mount battery? Kind regards from Amsterdam!
Hi. You have a good channel, very nice pitch. I use the exact same sigma fp setup, ssd sarbent 2TB and dark lab carts. I am experiencing a problem with the audio noise and chirping of this system. I peeled off the paste, tried writing without the cover, but the sounds remain. What advice would you give me. Maybe there are some small cannon mics that cut off the sound, honestly I'm getting a little frustrated so far.
Great video, use sort of the same gear for my Sigma. I'm going to try out the foam-removal thing. Anyhow, I've used the dummy battery option, but here in Europe we are pushed towards a strange 2.8x4.5 something DC output, so we've solved it with a strange re-route with a USB-C adapter delivering 8.4 volt. On the other hand there are som great power bank solutions with 10kmAh. (Only 178g) Anyhow, a question. I'm thinking of using a trigger to half-press the shutter button in cinemode to "Focus" temporarily. The Sigma CR-41 didn't work in cinemode. Have you had thoughts about this? Any experiences? JJC has two trigger products that I haven't tried out. 🤔
subscribed 🤩🤩🤩
Great video! I have a dumb question: I can see you wear glasses sometimes. Is it tricky to use the EVF without the glasses? Or is it possible to keep the glasses and get benefit from the EVF? Thanks!
Hey Justin, how did you record the audio on your series' Spent? Thought the quality was really good. Take care! :)
And thats how you become any camera handler if you have passion for videography...!
Just found your channel and am new to videography/cinematography and am looking for a new camera. I'm just wondering (a noob question), why didn't you use autofocus? Is it bad, not available on this camera? Or just the look you're going for?
Replace the foam with a heat pad. It’ll last longer and might help with heat a small amount
The Sabrent route can get very expensive very quickly if you need multiple Sabrent SSDs because the little housing isn't cheap. For me, Samsung T5 is the way to go.
Can you tell me more about that lens? What hood are you using?
put some thermal cooling paste on there in place of the foam!!
Subscibed.
Quick question doc. I just got my sigma fp but i noticed no charger came with it. So how long does it take to completely charge the battery through camera? Because the light is always green with no indication that's its done charging. Is it suppose to do that
followed your recommendations regarding the Nicey rig handle/EVF-11 and the dark power SSD holder with SSD Caddy. Because the EVF attaches to the camera body first by a thumb screw and then the Dark power attaches to the EVF by another thumb screw, I often find that the stress of use causes the EVF to come loose from the camera body causing the camera to lose the connection to the SSD. I am afraid to use a camera strap because one side would have to be connected to the SSD Holder I wish there was some kind of baseplate to secure both the EVF and the Dark Power to the camera body. Maybe if I get the small rig cage I can figure out a way to safety Both the EVF and SSD for a second point of connection to the body. Any body experience this issue or have solutions to this issue?
-- Otherwise I love the SSD holder and caddy from dark power! Took under two weeks to receive via AliExpress.
i'm curious about chirping sound on SSD
what if put some thermal pad inside like what we do when build a PC?
because usually what i heared it's all happen when SSD getting hot
but again like what you said
some got that problem and some not
what charger are you using for those batteries? Just the stock standard one?
What fxlion battery is that Justin? I looked through your affiliate links and couldn't find it
I’m late to the party but this m.2 setup you have… Still your go-to? And does it allow for the sustained write speeds necessary for all DNG settings? Wasn’t clear from the video. Avoiding the T5 setup if I can. Thanks Justin! Just followed you on IG too
Hey! Thanks! I dont use this still, but that SSD setup was the best. Really great for 12bit 4K raw.
@@JustinPhillip amazing you replied, thanks! Yeah I saw your video last night about selling it and was like... Oh right. Funny things was I had already seen it and just forgotten 😅
You are spot on about the banding issue and it's practically allergic to highlights. Noticed that like day 3. But the form factor is amazing so I'll suffer through it 😂
Let us know if you go down the eos m with magic lantern rabbit hole. You might love it, you might despise it. But I promise you won't be "meh"
Can you compare the video from that thing with the Canon 6D , at 30FPS , highest bit rate on Canon 6D and same setting on Sigma , except data rate , because i wonder , what do you get with all that data rate .
Do you prefer B-Raw or CDNG?
Where can I find that Ptah cable connected to your belt
amzn.to/4728NHz
Sony a9 and a9ii have almost no rolling shutter
Taking notes....
Would you consider an FP on a drone? (Assuming you have insurance, of course...)
The Sigma FP is a cool little camera. I want to love it. But the biggest fault of this camera is the horrible rolling shutter. Jello city.
Wait till you use the blackmagic pocket 6k ;)
@@soberinho I had a Pocket 6K. :) Better rolling shutter than the Sigma FP, but still wasn't good enough for my taste.
@@katlis Yeah, you're right. Just don't make any quick movements :P
what up justoo....
I see Tarantino
Too bad they just raised the price $400…sigma fp
Hi Justin!!!! Do you still have no problem with grasshopper noise with this case-protocol? How did the problem go after all? What are you using the sigma fp with now???
