Watched several R5C camera rig videos. I decided to go with your setup choices because it comes from experience on location. Your detailing and explanation was informative, interesting, and succinct. Thanks!

@Malick333 2 жыл бұрын

I loved how you started with YOUR goals and then went into how you solved that. Few of us have the exact same goals so it makes more sense to understand the WHY. Great job! I have a similar R5C setup, same cage, same mic, same Meike VND adapter, quick detachable rails on the bottom, quick detachable top handle and monitor. But for my goals, I’m using USB PD power, which can easily be mounted on my rails or on my hip/belt or in a pocket.

Nice setup! We rigged out a R5C with a Anton/Bauer 68Wh Titon Base Battery. It last about 4 hours and works good most of the time. You just need to watch the battery life. If it gets below 5% it will corrupt footage, so you need to make sure you change it out around 10% battery life.

This looks like a great set up, thanks for the excellent review. Are you at all worried about shorting out the HDMI port by using one power source for camera and monitor? I'm not sure if having a battery in the camera stops this from being a problem, but I see lots of people have at some time had this happen when using one power source for camera and monitor. There are conflicting recommended processes for avoiding it too. ARRI say turn the power source on, then connect HDMI/SDI. Then disconnect the cables before turning off power. From what I can see, Alvin's cables says the opposite!

I'm using an NP-F with a Small Rig battery plate with a dummy battery cable and it never shows the actual battery time. Plus the camera will not turn back on after turning off...I have to re-power the battery plate. Would appreciate your thoughts...or experience with your battery.

Very helpful. I have a big learning curve coming from just the EOS R. Mainly shooting weddings and I started to wonder if I purchased the wrong camera because I just couldn’t find the quick rig to gimbal options like you showcased. Question tho? For someone like me who does have the RS2, but not the full set up, just the gimbal itself, I heard the gimbal can also power the camera, do you know if that’s true and how much the battery life on the gimbal could be impacted?

@777archive Жыл бұрын

Well for me I am using R5 with Rs2 Pro Combo. It definitely doesn't power my R5, but the 3 usb c ports on the Rs2 each have different outputs. Bottom one seems to have the highest output draw as it can power my mars400s Pro Transmitter via usb c. Middle goes to control the focus wheel and top one is weakest, it's used to connect direct to cameras for shutter control or camera control really.

Because I thought that the only way to power the camera and lens in 8K 60p was with a PD power bank.
