Gerald, thanks for mentioning the Porta Pak power alternative. I'm considering this for some documentary work and wanting to go as "stripped down" as possible. Being able to mount the camera on top of the battery will really help reduce bulk and create even cleaner and quicker access to the back monitor. Thanks for always providing such thoughtful content.

98wh batteries are totally the way to go. You get that sense of relief when you can just keep shooting especially on longer days. Equivalent to that feeling I got the one project I used a 2tb samsung t5 to record with... It just... keeps... going! Glad Portapak is willing to be flexible on cable offerings especially when marketing to the pocket shooter crowds. Kudos to them. I've been looking into vmount battery options like FX Lion, blueshape, core swx and anton bauer. Nice to see other solutions also. Btw you should do a video on how you manage your media. Would be interested in seeing whether you archive your show content or once you finish your edits and upload to KZfaq, let it transition into the digiverse in the sky.

I love that the Ikan follow focus system has internal batteries. I hate that I need to connect the Tilta nano to a power source. Glad to see someone finally mount the v-mount battery flat so it doesn’t block the screen. Just found your channel and giving it a sub! One thing about keeping the battery in the camera, the v-mount will charge the battery inside the camera will it’s running. So let’s say you need to go lightweight for a bit...you drain the crappy canon battery in 20 minutes (lol) and then go back to your rig...charges the Battery :)

Great video, and solid recommendations! Take a look at the Tilta V-mount plate. I was thinking about that one, since it has a ton of power connectors. It's probably more expensive than the SmallRig plate, but I'm also thinking about having other gear powered by V-mounts, and I currently don't plan on taking the camera off for handheld like Gerald, but I'm not ruling it out.

I am a stills photographer mainly and when I do video prefer to use a video camera rather than a DSLR/Mirrorless bodies which ergonomically are not ideal and end up having to be mounted in rigs with numerous attachments before they become functional. In terms of value and function even on this side of the Pond, the Pocket 4K is great value for money and this episode by you the King of All Things Purple showing the choices you made on kitting out this camera is really interesting in terms of addons and costs.

Gerald Undone One of your viewers below in the main comments asked if you had considered the Z-CAM E2 and I confess I’d not come across that to date in all the research I’ve been doing on cine-cam options. So I did a little homework last night and discovered what may be the best little gadget I’ve seen, particularly at the price point. You should have a look if you’ve not done so already and of course, a review from you on this E2 or even the E2-F6 would be highly valued if you can swing it. A young filmmaker, Scott Dumas, has done a decent job on an overview I caught last night but I’m sure you would take it to another level. Food for thought.

Great setup. But it's interesting how different setups can be and how easy it is to find the own setup. I started with Smallrig - which is really really good for reasonable money - but switched to Tilta and their tactical setup - even better, nice accessories and better cable management. And I need a run&gun setup which is smaller than yours. So Tilta tactical rig with nice solid grip, awesome ssd holder (I use the 2 TB version of the T5), monitor shades, external monitor (I have a 5" Blackmagic Video Assist - so I use it), core SWX battery solution mounted under the cage for powering camera and monitor. I get around 2.5 to 3 hrs of recording time. Another SWX battery - just to be on the save side - replacement within seconds. VERY happe with this setup. Weight is good for shooting but not to heavy.

@MrGoodHammer 5 жыл бұрын

Great rig! You and I are using many of the same components. Two questions: 1) Have you worked through the challenge of using a VND and adding a lens hood. I use the Syrp and B+W 82mm VNDs on my Lumix 12-35 and 35-100 lenses, then screw on a collapsible rubber lens hood into the female threads of the filter. The round hood allows consistent shading when rotating the VND, as opposed to a tulip or rectangular shade. But, I get some vignetting in the corners from the hood, at wider angles. Do you have any better solutions? 2) As an alternative, I've okie engineered a couple 4x4 plates to hold both sides of my VND in my matte box. Then one of the filter trays rotates to adjust density. My end product is a bit janky, but with enough fiddling, it works. Have you seen a manufactured product that allows round 82mm filters to be used in a 4x4 matte box filter tray? Bonus question: Aputure has a couple DEC products that look like PHENOMENAL solutions. BUT...one is a speed booster that gives full control of a Canon lens (focus, iris, etc), but no eVND. The other is an eVND, but no speed boosting. Do you know of any combined solutions? An amalgamation of both products? Or maybe a drop-in speed boosting lens that can be used with the eVND?

Hi Gerald, ive read it is not advised to have the lpe6 inside when running an external battery. In a FB group i have someone give me this reaseon: "It is right. You should not have a battery inserted in the camera, while using an external 12V. The reason is that the control and load circuit of the LP06 has a fairly high consumption, between 4 and 8 w, which is subtracted from what the camera needs to operate. Therefore, you would have to supply about 22 Watts for the camera, and with the energy expenditure of the LP06 inserted, it could reach or exceed 30 watts. With a dummy battery, the external one should only provide the power equal to the LP06, without activating charging circuits." Any thoughts on this?

Was wondering if you've heard about or messed around with the ZCam E2? I've been using it for the past 6 months and have fallen in love with it. I was using a RED Scarlet MX and have completely replaced it in my workflow with the E2. I tried the Pocket 4k, but ended up being slightly dissapointed by it. Not in terms of image quality necessarily, but in build quality, battery life, and form factor. The E2 has almost the exact same sensor in it as the Pocket, but they use a better processor squeezing out a lot of functionality/performance. For $2000 you're getting 4k up to 160fps at 10bit, 13 stops of dynamic range (16 in WDR mode), 300mbps max bitrate, all metal body, uses NPF batteries, CFast or external SSD, WiFi, and imo a much better form factor. Would definitely be something interesting to check out. I'm loving the image out of it, the 10bit high frame-rate capabilities are great for versatility, and I'm getting about 4 hours of battery life on a single npf970 shooting at 4k.

The P4K is a really awesome piece of kit. It’s only major downside is the battery life. You pretty much have to use v-mount batteries. Which increases the weight and form factory. I wish they would add SSD recording or ProRes Raw via HDMI to Atomos for the GH5S 😭

For some people the increased weight is welcome because it helps stabilize and dampen movements. It looks like the balance on this rig would be right at the handle, so getting some smooth handheld movement without the aid of a gimbal or stabilizer should be possible.

Hello there, love that setup! where did you get that "infinite" follow focus ring tho? I can't find something like this anywhere, neither on your links, Kit page, or in the video. Was it included with your ikan bundle? I own a 30 € manual follow focus that came with a cranky plastic gear and I'm worried about the smoothness of this setup, especially since I would like to use it on hybrid lenses that has infinite focus rings. I even wanted to invest on cine lenses instead, since I hate that kind of rings on photo lenses, but I love the Sigma 18-35 F1.8 too much and I would rather buy it with a Metabones. I would love to know where you bought that gear ring. Thanks in advance!

If you're low on money, you could get Camvate and other cheap cages and mounts (instead of SmallRig); The Tilta Nucleus Nano costs less than $200, but I don't know if it's as good as the ikan follow focus system. You can save $500 by getting the Viltrox EF-M2 (actually 0.68x) instead of the Metabones (overpriced). The Sigma 18-35mm is often on sale, or you could buy a cheaper lens. And there are dozens of monitors full of different features between $100 and $200, not as good as Atomos monitors, but still worth it...

Check out Smallrigs Pre-order page. They have some new stuff you may want to add to this list. 15mm rail mount and Sunhood to name a couple. That iKan Follow focus setup is pretty fast. I usually have my V mount at an angle to help balance when shoulder mounted. The main difference in my rig is the addition of the Smallrig wooden side handles. They help me with handheld shooting stability. Because I used other parts from other rigs my price for this camera is much lower. Mostly the cost of the Smallrig parts, the T5 drives a few cables. Speed boosters and Atomos' I had from other cameras. Good to see how similar these rigs are. It makes me feel like we're on the right track to get great images.

Well done breakdown. How do you prevent an HDMI burnout when powering from the same battery source?

@adamkurtz665 4 жыл бұрын

will the portapak with a cable running from the 12volt to 2pin work on the 6k? I have read threads of it burning out the battery, or shorting out.

Question: I've heard mixed information about this but the metabones Ultra is designed for "Super 35" magnification with lenses for those kind of sensors or larger. The Sigma 18-35 is cropped for Canon APS-C which is smaller than the Super 35. Would this mean vignetting will still occur with the Ultra, despite people telling me there is only vignetting on the XL, or am I missing another variable? You're the man! Thanks.

Not sure if you answer questions but how did you get the PDMovie hot shoe clamp to slide into the small rig cold shoe mount?? IKan only gave room to squeeze onto a regular camera hot shoe mount with the screw size . Struggling big time to get that thing to slide on to it

Great video =), I'm just curious about why you didn't talk about the actual "Indipro Mini 98W V-Mount Lion" battery you have on the plate?I'm considering to get it but I'm curious about your feedback. Thank you Sir!
