Nice set up. I just couldn't spend the money on the smallHD and went with the Hollyland M1 enhanced.
I’m absolutely nerding out about that baseplate functionality. So diverse! I did a similar setup with my rig except I made everything be manfrotto 501 plates. Super helpful to quick pull off accessories and switch to different ones using all the same plates.
I put out a full breakdown of my rig too. Very similar to yours.
Love the content. New subscriber!
Thanks for reply and the subscribe! That's great that you did something similar with Manfrotto plates. I'm big on having one plate system for all of your equipment. It saves so much time on projects. I'll be sure to check out your breakdown and will give you a sub as well.
Great details, thx for sharing!
You’re welcome!
Great video! Does your SmallHD monitor fan kick in after some hours constantly on? Could the fan noise interfere some quiet scenes / intimate settings? Thank you!
Hey, thanks for the comment. The fan on the SmallHD Cine 5 does kick in from time to time, but it's not something I've ever noticed in anything I've shot since buying it a little over a year and a half ago. This includes countless interview sessions where it's very quiet when the interviewees aren't speaking. I personally don't feel that the fan is a problem on that monitor.
@@rusticrivermedia4755 Hi, thank you for your reply! I assume the fan will kick in once the monitor gets really hot. Has it ever overheated and shut down?
@@acoast84 It hasn't ever overheated and shut down on me, and for what it's worth, I live in Texas! So I think it's completely safe to use for an extended period of time, even in the warmest of climates.
One of the reasons I got the Tilta cage and v-mount system is because it is sturdy enough for me mount it on my shoulder without a shoulder pad system (i know not ideal, but it works for short takes). Do you think the the wooden camera Battery Slide Pro V-Mount system is sturdy enough to mount on your shoulder? Also, add some chapter markers, it may help you rank better on youtube and google search.
Hey David, thanks for the comments and suggestions.
As for the Wooden Camera Battery Slide Pro, I definitely think it's sturdy enough to use on the shoulder. I actually just shot a multi-day event like that and really liked it.
As for the chapter markers, I probably should definitely do that. I honestly don't spend a ton of time on CZcams as I am usually working on video projects for my business throughout the day. I don't see myself ever becoming a CZcamsr, so for me I just put out what I hope is helpful information when I get a chance. That being said, I do agree that chapter markers would be good and will try to implement those in the future.
One more question: Do you know if I can fit the Bright Tangerine Top Handle Brace for Sony FX6 on the Tilta top plate?
Hey, unfortunately you won't be able to. It's only compatible with the Bright Tangerine Top Plate.
May I have a Link to the O rings you used on the alister chapman mic holder? Mine sags bit and you can see the dead cat when zoomed out to 24mm. Also link to your black short haired rycote dead cat? Make it an affiliate link ;)
Hey, I don't have a link to the O rings as I bought those from Lowe's. I went to Lowe's and purchased a few different sizes until I found a size that fit well. I don't remember what that was though.
As for the short haired version of the Rycote Windshield, this is the one I purchased: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1508793-REG/rycote_033015_7cm_standard_hole_fur.html
THANK YOU SIR!@@rusticrivermedia4755
Great tips but I still use my FX6 naked 😂
There’s nothing wrong with that!
