okay i’m at minute 24 right now, and i’m just realizing how much time and effort he puts into his videos. like wow. he’s kept my attention for this long already, and it’s cut so perfectly together. everything about this video is perfect!
You can tell when someone half asses it. When me and my son do a video on our main channel we watch what we’ve done before uploading and we can always tell when we got lazy and when we devoted the right amount of time.
This is a masterclass video. In a half hour I learned everything I need as a beginner and this saved me hours of time and likely hundreds of dollars in learning to buy the correct equipment the first time. Thank you
I don't know how to begin to thank you for making this video. As a newbie to video I have been struggling bigly with all the pieces and parts that are available to build a suitable rig. Many things ordered and returned and many hours spent researching parts and configuration possibilities. This video will make the remainder of the build so much easier! Companies like Smallrig should have paid for a video like this a long time ago. Also wouldn't it be nice to have a configurator for these parts where rigs could be designed and assembled virtually prior to purchase! A parts list could be automatically generated based upon a build and purchased all at once!
Caleb, you got me obsessed about rigging 4 years ago when I was starting out.My rigging gear weighs more than all my camera, gimbal and lighting hardware combined.
Again, FANTASTIC video Caleb! 👍 The time it took to do this... just wow. THIS sort of video is why I bought one of your in depth camera guides, it was so informative and helpful. Thank you for creating for all of us!
I love camera rigging. Its kinda like playing with lego for your job. It's also very reflective of video production. You're only limited by your own creativity with camera rigs.
9:20 of this video just changed my life. I had no idea those knobs could do that. I've been struggling with those for the past year. Wow. Thank you sir. Wow.
I'm so glad I saw this video. I first saw it a few years ago, but I couldn't finish it at that time. As my photography skills improved and I upgraded my equipment, I gradually learned more about accessories, and I came back to watch the video again. I'm so happy that I finally finished it this time. Even though I thought I was very familiar with camera rigs, I still learned a lot. Thank you so much for making this video. It must have taken a lot of time and effort, not only to collect all the "Lego" toys, but also to assemble them. The process of assembling the accessories is just like playing with Lego!
Your Chanel is literally one of the most helpful things I’ve discovered in the entire internet Thank you for your work its really important for me and surely lots of other people as well Thank you man
This was so immensely helpful for me. I’m building my first handheld rig, and I never knew what all these fancy tubes and brackets were. Your video clearly directed me on what to buy, and it was the ONLY video that did. Thank you!
Awesome video man, thanks for this! I've binge watched your videos for a few days now and your content iw definitely one of the most helpful to a new, aspiring filmmaker/CZcamsr!
I'm getting a BMPCC 4K and am looking at rigging options for it.. Didn't realize there were so many different little parts and aspects of rigging. Frankly, it has me overwhelmed!
Great great great - we are kindred spirits - The only difference is you put in the time and the effort to share all this knowledge. I think our work benches probably look very similar . Great job
Very nice and thorough videos on all the accessories setup that can be added as part of a video camera system, especially if new or not sure of all the options, terminology etc... well done!
A challenge for Caleb: Create a universal camera rig that can be used for all of his cameras that can switch from shoulder rig, handheld, and gimbal / slider (he has all the Lego parts, so why not?)
Thousands of dollars would be saved had I watched this video before making any purchases, thank you for all the info, now I know what to pick in the future
Ah… Kessler. I bought the several of the first version of the Kwik release. The mounting hole pattern was deliberately designed not to be interchangeable with other standard spaced accessories from other companies.
Ok, this is the video I was looking for today LOL I have a shoot tomorrow, and I woke up this morning thinking about new ways to make my rig more compact and lighter. And as the CZcams Algorithm™ would have it, this came into my feed! ***Watching now***
Caleb, this was a fantastic overview of rigs and accessories. In the past I've worked on sets with various crew sizes. I'm now working on the ins/outs of a narrative film I've written (just barely hits most 'short film' durations depending on who you ask). This one will be low budget and a one-person-show-with-inexperienced-assistant project. I know - risky. Shots will be a mix of fixed/tripod, shoulder cam (for some mild shake), and in lieu of a full jib, I'm opting for gimbal attached to a steadicam'ish rig. For the moving shots, focus pulling will naturally be a challenge, even with a nucleus. Aaaannddd, I'm directing this (yeah we're going Buckaroo Banzai on this - spreading myself thing for sure). The talent will be rather young, so I'm trying to keep things minimal to avoid 'camera distraction'. I won't be using the cine cams I'm used to and instead will be going DSLR (I prefer to keep my back in order). My thought will be to use my a7s3's and more budget'ish (think sirui) anamorphic lenses. What advice might you give for rigging the cameras to switch between fixed, shoulder, handheld, and the steadi/gimbal shots? I'm thinking of nixing the shoulder/handheld for the shake and fixing the gimbal on the steadi rig to get some camera movement for those particular shots. Ah and given the locations, I need to use the matte box to help deal with stray light.
I've been dreaming of a comprehensive video on how to design and build a rig that suits oneself for nearly a year. I don't think I've ever been this excited for a video before. I simply can't put it into words.
Something that I find annoying is the disparity of hole placement between brands. Sometimes a tapped hole needs to be a through hole, so I will often drill out holes. Sometimes, there's no hole available, so I make a 5mm hole and tap it with a 1/4-20 tap. If you've done any woodworking, you may be familiar with the 32mm base system which scales up to measurements like the 96mm on-center spacing of dog holes in an MFT table. Anyway, for camera gear, it would be nice if manufacturers would agree upon a standard for hole spacing. Another option, which I use often, is to buy 1/8" or 1/4" aluminum sheets, and make them into custom cheese plates. This requires some tools (calipers, drill press, bits, tap, etc), but it's worth the effort when you just need a simple plate with a minimal amount of holes. Additionally, I've started to 3D print my own rigging accessories. 3D printing parts can be tricky because the strength of filament is nowhere near the strength of aluminum, but it can be useful for non-critical items requiring less strength.
Wonderful video Caleb, great job. Any suggestions for a rig for a Panasonic UX90 ??? .... I want to put mic, monitor, battery, light and maybe a hard drive. You have skills to teach, congratulations.
Well now, this should be a good overview. I usually stick the audio gear on top of a cage, and it has a handle I use to smooth handheld footage, but that's as far as I've taken it. But I'm considering the BMPCC 4K as an upgrade path that's good enough for the likes of me so this may become more relevant soon.
I can't even begin to imagine how long this video took to make but I am eternally thankful that you did, SOOO much information and you really helped me understand a lot......I also think I prefer the nato rail, just seems more practical
Hello, Im so glad I stumbled across this video again, and since I liked this video (and already subscribed to your channel) the first time, I wanted say thank you for your great work and info! I watched this video months ago, and didn’t understand too much about all these different parts and mounting options. Watching it again, after having purchased 2 very different cameras and a decent amount of accessories and mounting gear for them the past few months, I realized what works best for me, as well as what I may want to get in the future. Cheers, and again, thank you!
Caleb, thank you so much! This is a really great video overview of camera rigging. Do you think there is a value in people considering any of the brands who originated some of the elements you highlighted, like Wooden Camera, Zacuto, etc? Obviously there is a huge price difference, but do you see any value in spending more money to support those brands who did all of the original engineering, and probably make sturdier products? - Thank you again! Keep up the awesome work.
I really like a lot of the name brand stuff, especially how he outlined stuff like magic arms. In my opinion anything that supports the camera is worth spending that little bit more money because it could be that extra few $$ instead of your precious camera.
Wow, just when i am planning my Rig! A tip for others in this situation: You can find the biggest selection at the lowest prices on Aliexpress. Both high-quality (even pro quality) but reasonable priced brands like Tilta and Smallrig, but also rebranded OEM Smallrig stuff for even less, and ultra low budget noname brands for factory prices. Just be sure you order the right stuff, because returning anything to china is not worth the cost. Also be sure to check the rating of the sellers, even though Aliexpress now has top level customer protection now in case of frauds. Shipping times at least to EU are much better now, 90% of orders is 1-2 weeks to EU (Germany in my case), and the new tax regulations and electronic automatic customs process means packages are no longer stuck in customs clearance! Great time to live for low budget film makers and creators!
Bro you are the actually the man. This is mega helpful. so in depth. A lot of work going into this one organising everything.. Just want to say thanks.
Thank you for yet another masterclass Caleb. Consumate content as usual. I do have a tiny bit of feedback: For the overhead product in hand shots (e.g. 3:45 ) you tend to shake the product. And for some reason I find that gives me motion sickness nausea. You're one of the only content creators where my eyes are glued to the screen (vs playing in the background while I work), so might be why I notice the shakes. Thank you again for the S-tier content.
Thanks for the video! Love Kessler Crane products! You turned me onto them a few years ago with your Arca Swiss video. Expensive stuff, but ease of use and weight limits are phenomenal.
This is a must video!! I have been looking for this information since the a7s3 came out. This is really useful for all the new peaceful that are stepping up their game and getting to mor professional equipments 👌🏻
Thanks for an amazingly detailed video, Caleb. You put a lot of money and work into this presentation, which is very much appreciated. Have a great day.
I always wonder why so few people talk about LWS height when it comes to baseplates... It's an industry standard height for many accessories like matte boxes, lens supports etc. and for some reason there are very few universal baseplates that can bring your DSLM on that exact height. For pretty much all the actual cine cameras, there are fixed height LWS baseplates - but IMO manufacturers should offer more height adjustable baseplate options for other cameras.
I'm building up my first rig based on a Sony A7c (not the best choice) and i'm stymied on the base plate. Small rig has an adjustable one, but not sure if i should go that route. Great video, thanks!
This video is great. Although I have a request, and you would be the only person who can help me out and may like me. So I really like the form factor of a camcorder, the new ones by Canon XF605 looks really tempting, but the obvious problem is we have to sacrifice the shallow DOF for the utility like... 1. Ease of handling, storing and transportation. 2. I/O like the HDMI, SDI, Ethernet, TC, etc. 3. The internal NDs. 4. XLR inputs. 5. Recording ProRes to SSDs like some JVC camcorders. Now if you could make a rig like thins which is not very big, easy to store and transport which solves most of the above problems it would be a life saver, at least it will save me a lot of money. I would like to have such a rig at least on a M43 sensor. Any and all ideas are most welcome...
it's unfortunate but the magnetic xume adapters seem discontinued by manfrotto, there are alternatives but the manfrotto version was the only one that had just the ring that you could screw any filter on to to make them magnetic
These videos are just THE BEST. I have an a6600 Sony that I’m trying to rig and having a nightmare knowing what cables I need to power the camera, the ninja v and the rode microphone. Any advice? Also any advice for alternatives to the Kessler crane as they seem to be never in stock…
okay i’m at minute 24 right now, and i’m just realizing how much time and effort he puts into his videos. like wow. he’s kept my attention for this long already, and it’s cut so perfectly together. everything about this video is perfect!
Thank you so much Malachi! Means a lot man.
Straight up man. I just commented something similar haha
I had the same thoughts at 6 min in lol
You can tell when someone half asses it. When me and my son do a video on our main channel we watch what we’ve done before uploading and we can always tell when we got lazy and when we devoted the right amount of time.
This is a masterclass video. In a half hour I learned everything I need as a beginner and this saved me hours of time and likely hundreds of dollars in learning to buy the correct equipment the first time. Thank you
This man just taught everything about rigging in a single video while it took me years to learn all this from observing.
I feel like this one video is a graduate level camera class - thank you so freaking much
I have edited myself into movies and TV shows using some of your advice, tips and tricks so thanks!!!
Oh wow! Thank you for the kind words boss! Congratulations!
I don't know how to begin to thank you for making this video. As a newbie to video I have been struggling bigly with all the pieces and parts that are available to build a suitable rig. Many things ordered and returned and many hours spent researching parts and configuration possibilities. This video will make the remainder of the build so much easier!

Caleb, you got me obsessed about rigging 4 years ago when I was starting out.My rigging gear weighs more than all my camera, gimbal and lighting hardware combined.
When you showed the ratcheting knobs at 9:18, I ran to my camera bag and lo-and-behold... I have em!!! Rig headache has been cured 😀
Again, FANTASTIC video Caleb! 👍 The time it took to do this... just wow. THIS sort of video is why I bought one of your in depth camera guides, it was so informative and helpful. Thank you for creating for all of us!
I love camera rigging. Its kinda like playing with lego for your job. It's also very reflective of video production. You're only limited by your own creativity with camera rigs.
Ahh this is going to be good. Exactly what I've been needing as I'm looking at an external recording monitor and doing more with my a7siii.
Fancy seeing you here Neil!
This was the first Caleb video that overwhelmed me. Not sure if that's good or bad, but hey, that's a milestone.
9:20 of this video just changed my life. I had no idea those knobs could do that. I've been struggling with those for the past year. Wow. Thank you sir. Wow.
Best video on YT about camera rigs!
I'm so glad I saw this video.

This is EXACTLY the video I've been looking for. Perfectly presented information about something I've been thinking about forever. Well done Caleb.
Your Chanel is literally one of the most helpful things I’ve discovered in the entire internet
Thank you for your work its really important for me and surely lots of other people as well
Thank you man
Whenever I see a new DSLRVS I get pumped. Then I realized this one was 30+ min!! Awesome topic!!
Yeah I got a little excited and went waaaaay over the 10 minute mark!
All these CZcamsrs who put videos of their rig just confused the fuck out of me
I appreciate u man❤️
I can't tell you how many ideas and purchases were based off of this video. Monitor mounts alone, thank you!
This was so immensely helpful for me. I’m building my first handheld rig, and I never knew what all these fancy tubes and brackets were. Your video clearly directed me on what to buy, and it was the ONLY video that did. Thank you!
You knocked it out of the park with this one
Awesome video man, thanks for this! I've binge watched your videos for a few days now and your content iw definitely one of the most helpful to a new, aspiring filmmaker/CZcamsr!
why isn't this video the most watched on this channel ? For the 11th time, thanks Caleb ^^
This is literally *better than LEGO xD I love it
I'm getting a BMPCC 4K and am looking at rigging options for it.. Didn't realize there were so many different little parts and aspects of rigging. Frankly, it has me overwhelmed!
Your videos and advice are among the best. Perhaps a word or two to take the place of TON as a descriptor.
Great great great - we are kindred spirits - The only difference is you put in the time and the effort to share all this knowledge. I think our work benches probably look very similar . Great job
Very nice and thorough videos on all the accessories setup that can be added as part of a video camera system, especially if new or not sure of all the options, terminology etc... well done!
A challenge for Caleb: Create a universal camera rig that can be used for all of his cameras that can switch from shoulder rig, handheld, and gimbal / slider (he has all the Lego parts, so why not?)
Because cameras are all different shapes and it would have to be made excessively large meaning some parts wouldn’t fit and making it unpractical
Still the best breakdown so far in 2022
Thank you so much for making this video. I learned many simple things that I did not know before!
Thousands of dollars would be saved had I watched this video before making any purchases, thank you for all the info, now I know what to pick in the future
Wow, so much education here. Hope more people will like the video because it's hard work to upload such good videos constantly.
I learned so much watching this video. more importantly, I learned I didnt know as much as I thought I did. bravo.
Ah… Kessler. I bought the several of the first version of the Kwik release. The mounting hole pattern was deliberately designed not to be interchangeable with other standard spaced accessories from other companies.
Such a shitty move, hate when brands do that!
Yeah that always blows. At least the important ones are centered for QR plate use!
Ok, this is the video I was looking for today LOL
I have a shoot tomorrow, and I woke up this morning thinking about new ways to make my rig more compact and lighter.
And as the CZcams Algorithm™ would have it, this came into my feed!
***Watching now***
Holy Moly! This was A-MAZ-ING! I will be watching this again. Been subscribed for many years now and I can't thank you enough Caleb!

this is by far the best video on the planet regarding rigging cameras... you are awesome!
Wish I had this about 4 months ago! By far the best video out there on rigging! Highly recommend!
I've been dreaming of a comprehensive video on how to design and build a rig that suits oneself for nearly a year. I don't think I've ever been this excited for a video before. I simply can't put it into words.
Thank means so much to hear! Surprised there aren't more videos on this topic. Thanks!
You are a KING for this 🤴

You have skills to teach, congratulations.
Hey thanks for this. Getting a a serious Video job and rigs were always kinda a grey area for me.
thank you so much!! starting to rig out my camera def needed this
That was they most interesting video about baseplates I've ever seen.
So much great info!
*Caleb, thanks, you are a CHAMP!!* 🏆
Awesome video. Super informative. I love learning all the names of the little things like taps and through-holes :) Thanks again.
I have been waiting patiently for this one (grabs paper and pen)!
Well now, this should be a good overview. I usually stick the audio gear on top of a cage, and it has a handle I use to smooth handheld footage, but that's as far as I've taken it. But I'm considering the BMPCC 4K as an upgrade path that's good enough for the likes of me so this may become more relevant soon.

Holy filter, friend. Was this video produced in a dream or what?! 😂😂 Love ya, IRL and in dream captured videos. ❤❤
Awesome video! Much needed. I learned enough to now start pointing me in the right direction on my research quest for the ideal rig setup for me.
AWSOME video, I’ve watched it at least ten times by now! Btw I hope you’re taking it easy and enjoying your break! 👍👍👍
Only quality from Mr. Pike! I'll definitely be recommending this to friends trying to learn more about rigs, thanks for taking the time to make this!

As the title says.. this is complete info on rigs and accessories.🤩Thank you
Bro you are the actually the man. This is mega helpful. so in depth. A lot of work going into this one organising everything.. Just want to say thanks.
I wish I had this video back in 2020!! Very, very ,very important Video! Love it thank you.
Thank you for yet another masterclass Caleb. Consumate content as usual.
I do have a tiny bit of feedback: For the overhead product in hand shots (e.g. 3:45 ) you tend to shake the product. And for some reason I find that gives me motion sickness nausea.
You're one of the only content creators where my eyes are glued to the screen (vs playing in the background while I work), so might be why I notice the shakes.

Thanks for the video! Love Kessler Crane products! You turned me onto them a few years ago with your Arca Swiss video. Expensive stuff, but ease of use and weight limits are phenomenal.
THE BEST Smallrig commercial
Great as usual. Keep it going!
We need Kessler Crane Kwik Stand options to get those rigs stable on the floor or table, an excellent rigging video!
thanks for posting!
So grateful for this channel. I've modeled so much of my gear using your videos. Thank you!
Great video man, watched tons of your informative videos to rig my cameras ✌🏼
Thank you Rise!!!
@26:45 That squeaking made me laugh, lol. The best part is that it works so well he still uses it. That's how you know it's worth the money!
Wow - What a video. Thanks for the explanation of different mounts etc...
Finally, I have a plan for a new rig. Thanks.
Great works! Can see how much effort you put into this 33min video. Wish to see you doing about follow focus gear and wireless video systems!😍
Bro this is a MASTERCLASS. Amazing video
Dude this was quite comprehensive and in-depth! Amazing job once again!
Great video and info Caleb !
In depth indeed. Thank you!
You helped me build my rig and I love you for that.
Anyone else sooth themselves to sleep to Kalebs videos?
This is a must video!! I have been looking for this information since the a7s3 came out. This is really useful for all the new peaceful that are stepping up their game and getting to mor professional equipments 👌🏻
rigs recomendation for EOS 800D
Thanks for an amazingly detailed video, Caleb. You put a lot of money and work into this presentation, which is very much appreciated. Have a great day.

Love the Helios 40 on the GH5. :P
Very cool man. Thanks for running through all the options and stuff you use.
Thank you so so much. Very informative.
Great input from you, Sir
9:35
Me looking at the video.
Looking at my Shoulder Rig.
*pulls the knob*
"WHAT?!"
My entire life was a lie. Thanks for this tip! :D
this is like gun stuff for camera guys, nice
Man o' Man is that an awesome rig
That's an awesome tutorial Caleb, thanks and well done mate!
This video is great. Although I have a request, and you would be the only person who can help me out and may like me. So I really like the form factor of a camcorder, the new ones by Canon XF605 looks really tempting, but the obvious problem is we have to sacrifice the shallow DOF for the utility like...
1. Ease of handling, storing and transportation.
2. I/O like the HDMI, SDI, Ethernet, TC, etc.
3. The internal NDs.
4. XLR inputs.
5. Recording ProRes to SSDs like some JVC camcorders.
Now if you could make a rig like thins which is not very big, easy to store and transport which solves most of the above problems it would be a life saver, at least it will save me a lot of money. I would like to have such a rig at least on a M43 sensor. Any and all ideas are most welcome...

These videos are just THE BEST. I have an a6600 Sony that I’m trying to rig and having a nightmare knowing what cables I need to power the camera, the ninja v and the rode microphone. Any advice? Also any advice for alternatives to the Kessler crane as they seem to be never in stock…
Thanks for putting so much effort into this.
Frigg’n fantastic!
