Building the Sony a6500 into a Mini Cinema Rig
Рет қаралды 190,947
Күн бұрынHow to build the Sony a6500 into a Mini Cinema Rig that looks like a RED cinema camera. You can use this same setup with the sony a6000, sony a6300, sony a6400 and sony a6600. Using nearly all SmallRig parts, it would really work with any mirrorless camera as long as you have a cage. This video was not sponsored by SmallRig, I bought all these parts myself and truly love their stuff.

I was inspired by this, and did much the same with my own A6500. So, many thanks. The result looks awesome. But I did find some limitations that I had to get around: 1. Even with the lightest of V-mount batteries, this thing is HEAVY, and weighted towards the back. It was fine on a tripod, which is how I plan mainly to use it. But I would probably not want to use it hand-held unless I were Jack Reacher. I have 2 classic video cameras that I can use for that anyway. 2. With the V-Mount battery's covering the back of the camera as you have there, it is nigh-on impossible to use the camera's own LCD or viewfinder. And with the A6500, you need that LCD. There are several touch screen features you need on there, plus the A6500 will not display camera settings on an HDMI external monitor like my Ninja V. I tried having the LCD set horizontally, but that worked only in ideal conditions. In the end, I remounted the battery hanging down below the rig, and as far back as possible to avoid snagging the tripod on a tilt or pan.
@chadwin 2 жыл бұрын
awesome, sounds like you ended up building a really great rig for your a6500! Yes--using v-mount batteries always adds A LOT of weight, however it also adds a lot of stability when doing handheld work. It does make it so you have to balance your tripod head a little bit different but you get used to it. As far as the LCD goes--yes, it definitely sucks having it covered up. What I usually do is just end up scooting the battery back far enough so I can clearly see it and tap on it when needed.

What if you want the nd throttle to use with a Sony 10-18mm lens with the A6600 Does that only come as an adapter for the canon lenses? Loved the video and setup.
@chadwin 4 жыл бұрын
Texas Best Construction unfortunately you can’t use the ND throttle with native Sony lenses. It can only be used to adapt other lenses because it puts space between the lens and the body, whereas Sony lenses can’t do that. You just have to use screw on Nd filters or a matte box with Sony glass

I almost feel like I should make a video when I get all of my parts in since you kinda inspired this for my next gig. I'm rigging up my A7iii, and wanted to have both a Atomos Shinobi and a Aputure F7 on the rig simultaneously. Using the "SmallRig NATO Top Handle HTN2439" on top of their cage (with a NATO rail), I'm gonna use the BUM2448 Arm in the front of the handle like you did for your monitor, then the BSE2346 Monitor mount right behind that in the coldshoe for the Shinobi. Then in the second coldshoe on the end of the handle I'll hang my Rode Wireless GO. I'm using the same baseplate to rig Gold Mount batteries.

Have you had any problems using a follow focus on lenses mounted to a dslr? I seem to be getting slight movement on the lens both up and down when pulling focus on my rig. I've ended up getting a lens support with a strap around the top. Seems to work but is taking up useful space on the 15mm rails.
@chadwin 4 жыл бұрын
Owen Simpson yes, depending on the camera and cage I’m using, the focus motor will shift the lens up and down some. With my A7s it was the worse. But with my Pocket 6k and X-T4 it really doesn’t move. Take a look at your cage and base connections to see where it’s giving and allowing it to move. The lens support might just be necessary for your rig!

Can I do this with a canon 80D? I’ve been trying to make a mini red

YES! You definitely could. It looks like SmallRig makes a nice cage for the 80d that would work for the build out.

i was doing some more research, and i'm wondering why you need a vmount battery. it looks like you can simply plug any portable battery pack into the camera via usb
@chadwin 3 жыл бұрын
yes, you can power many cams off of USB mico or USBC now. i prefer v mount batteries over battery banks typically though. they're more professional on set and can swap out multiple of them.

Is there any specific reason you connected the NinjaV D-Tap directly to the v mount battery instead of the battery plate?
@chadwin 3 жыл бұрын
Nasar Salman nope, no reason in specific, but keeping them going through different ports could help prevent anything being fried, I’ve heard reports of cameras frying from thing powered off the same source

Why do you use an atmos ninja V? I have a sony a6300 and a sony fs5 and I am thinking of getting an external recorder so I can up the frame rate and film in 10bit.
@chadwin 4 жыл бұрын
Spicer Productions I use it with the a6500 just to get pro Res, it doesn’t do anything else on that cam. But with my X-T4 it’s amazing 10bit 60FPS 4k. I’d recommend only getting the ninja if it can really improve the image quality with your cam. So might be good for the FS5
@tspunk4003 3 жыл бұрын
is that the right dummy battery that you linked? it looks like the connections aren't right.
@chadwin 3 жыл бұрын
it is the correct one. you also need the barrel connector side that typically comes with a v-mount plate like the ones from tilta and fotga.

Yeah, you could definitely using something like this for real estate videos if you want really long battery life and a nice external monitor. Only thing is, a lot of real estate videos use gimbals, which you'd then have to do some breaking down for.

Where can I get the battery setup? Also, do you record to the monitor as well? I would love to never have to change cards or batteries. On an 8-10 hour wedding day hour day, I just want to have this beast and my other 6500 on my ronin s. I have a 6300 I just leave on a tripod of my "safe shot" during the ceremony only. With this, I can carry a small pack for a couple of lenses and thats it. life would be so easier. This is the setup I'm def looking for. I have been powering off my cheap Andecine monitors with the sony npf batteries but they just don't last. About how long can you go with this setup? Thanks for this info and I am certainly now a subscriber!
@chadwin 4 жыл бұрын
Hey thanks for the sub! Yes, you can find all of the gear used to setup the v-mount battery system in the description of the video. I've used this setup for weddings in the past and it lasts all day. The v-mount batteries are incredible for powering your camera and accessories on long shoots. The Sony NPF batteries are decent, but don't last anywhere near as long.
