Love this build! Pretty awesome run and gun setup. I'm building this out for sure.

Super helpful video, Josh. thanks for sharing the detailed explanations and showing exactly how you set it up for each scenario. Go-to for practical R5 C content!

I like people that find solutions to issues to make stuff work for them. Thanks for the video.

Great video! Thank you. This is exactly how I build cameras. Smallest form factor as possible. Some people miss the point of a small camera by making a large rig. Good job

just got my r5c and you helped me a lot with fixing the battery problem. thank you.

Josh, Truly you're a blessing to those that you know and those you'll never meet and thanks

Thank you so much! I've watched countless vids re battery solutions and NO one but YOU has shown how it is all put together, which is really what is needed to quickly learn.

The set up at the end is perfect and essential. so hot

I've just bought a R5C, your advice is great, thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for showing us how to actually put everything together‼ Saw plenty videos explaining how it all works, but skipped that part 👏🏽

you speak really clear and content is consise. no extra fluff. Respect and thanks from new zealand.

Best solution ever!!!

Great video! Love the rig setup.

I really appreciate your videos. They have been a huge help for me. I feel like you're going to be a staple of creator community. Thanks again

I'm thinking of picking up the R5C, this was super helpful. Thanks a bunch, Josh!

Nice setup. Thanks for the clear walkthrough 👍🏼

Amazing .. So simply put and very helpful.

I really enjoyed watching this. Learnt alot, thank you.

Great video Man! and that's a beast setup!!!

thank you so much for this! I bought a R5C but didn't have the time to buy the cage and stuff yet. Now I got an upcoming job and delivery dates for cages are 3-4 weeks... it's just a small job but I didn't even think to use the battery grip, which I own for the R5 cause I didn't think it would fit. Will do the job until the rest arrives. Had a production in July with the R5C and had to switch the normal batteries every 15min which was getting really tricky in the end of the day because the charging didn't keep up with the camera running out of battery.

just wanted to say thanks. I went with your set up and love it! changed up a few things for the rig with quick release and swivel bracket to make for easy in and out for screen but thanks for all your advice. hope to get some new content on my channel soon!

Exactly the info I needed. Thank you :-)

This is a very nice video showing compact options with the R5C. This convinced me more about getting this camera, especially for having the ability to shoot great pictures. It is a very good option for documentary and even for making short films with this setup you just shown. You just add a wireless go and a separate sound system, like a Zoom H5/H6 with a boom and a decent shotgun microphone with a timecode generator and you are good to go! Thanks for the follow up!

Dude love your videos, really helped me out. Thank you so much!

Thanks! Great run down of options. Clears up confusion on my end about shore powering the rig, USB C will work great for me. Just got an R5 C for some VR work, looking forward to it! Also, didn't know about the mount on the base of the Smallrig cage, that's perfect for my Ronin. Glad I just like Smallrig and went with that cage, ha ha. I have the Tilta Ring for the Ronin which has USB power ports as well.

Thanks for making this video. It was helpful.

Great video , well presented and subscribed mate !

Great video, thank you!

Awesome ...just Awesome!😀

this awesome, thank you!

Thank you, very helpful.

Your videos are amazing... I love it

You have very good suggestions. Congratulations. I was going to buy fx30, I researched a lot. I decided to give up apsc and switch to fullframe. I was between A1 and Rc5. I chose to buy canon rc5. I watched your videos as well. If you prepare a video about the video shooting modes of canon cr5, people can benefit. Like what values ​​are the fullframe equivalent of 4k. A new update is coming in June. It seems to me that Canon will close the gap. Good news for those who have canon rc5. Greetings from Turkey.❤❤❤🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌹🌹

amazing stuff my dude, used your links to cop a few things 👌

I may just utilize this exact setup. Thank you. Will use your links if so

Obrigada pelo seu trabalho. Muito me ajudou.

I have the EXACT same setup and it works perfect

Good Stuff! Thanks man

Thank you. Appreciate the video.

I use the Anton Bauer Titon kit. Works great also

Man I never realized the SmallRig bottom part of the cage was arca Swiss plate mount 12:30 😂 Thank you so much ❤ had to pause the video to say thank you Learning a bunch now back to watching

Amazing video here

haha my kit exactly lol So compact and great! Also connect an ANKER battery to the V mount FXLION battery so I have zero power problems all day filming

Almost the same setup I am looking to do. I got a v-mount that has the USB C power in itself so you can use any battery, but likely to use a USB Power Bank as my main power source since you get more capacity for cheaper vs the v-mount batteries. Just need to figure out the best plate to attach the cage to my tripod quick and easy.

Fantastic.

You, sir, are FN Rad. Subscribed.

Love this! Very helpful and informative, thank you for making this video. I was wondering if something like this rig would work for the R6?

Great vid! Thanks!🙏 Will be nice to see a gimbal minimal solution..

With my R5C, I get around 8 hours of recording time with the Anker 87w power bank. With 25600 mah, It works quite well, lasting about 2 1/2 times longer then average v mount batteries. However, it's less convenient to to mount on a rig.

I would love to see a good rig based on vertical or "reel" style content!

It makes sense why people choose the C70 over the R5/C. Once you rig it up to be useful it ends up costing the same as the C70. The difference comes down to built in ND vs full frame sensor.

Cool🎉

Thanks for this video one thing about this black mumba cage do you find on the right hand side the grip around the shutter button has some play in it as you squeeze the grip and take photos it almost like they needed to add a extra mount point for the right hand side top strap fixing on the camera body to prevent this play I find that after some time shooting it can loosen the cage

Got my eye on the tilta side handle that doubles as battery. Suppose to enable enough power for 8k 60 too. Under development I guess.

Returned mine. Rigging it up should be optional not mandatory.

Thanks for the great video! One major question: at around 11:40, you use a "basic arca swiss" screw you had from a previous project to attach the quick release to the base plate. What are the specs for that screw? I'm putting the rig together and have hit that roadblock. Thanks again! Your presentation style is great. Cheers!

Hey Josh this video and other videos on shooting cinematic video are super informative and helpful. Just a question …are you planning to do a video on camera monitors or make a recommendation ?

Nice presentation. I would like to ask you for a recommendation for Remote audio transmitter / receiver for shooting a "classroom-like" presentation, where the presenter is walking and a Mic on him. Possibly with 2 Mic in case another supporting presenter is on the set as well. Camera on tripod at the back of the room using battery grip for a presentation that's less than 2 hours long. TIA.

Just a heads up, I had the same hot shoe setup and it wiggles. It easily comes loose and you won’t have a solid hold. Best to go with smallrigs nato setup.

Battery grip with 2 batteries plus the external battery 👍

Hi Josh! How long does the r5c last with the atomos ninja v both plugged in to the vmount battery?

No setup with the 45w PD power bank? Heads ppl have had lots of success with that

Great film Josh - could you post links for everything you just showed us, like the Arca Swiss, rods, USB-C right-angle cable, etc because I don't want to miss anything out that I would need to connect everything up. Thanks in advance.

What color paint do you have on the wall behind you?

Hi Josh. Have you had any issues with the cage rubbing paint off of your R5C?

What minimalist bag would you recommend for this setup?

I tried to save money and get a PD USB battery instead. I could prob use a small rig battery holder and mount that to v mount plate. If I wanted to use the rods and mount the battery.

does the r5c with battery grip fit on the rs2 gimbal?

Hi josh, I got a question: If you use this canon battery grip. Does it become an "extra battery" package, so you can run 8k 60fps with all the camera lens functions on?

Hey Josh, can you mount the battery grip on a gimbal ?

is it hard to manually focus while shooting handheld with the rods underneath the lens?

Thank you for this video. You mentioned that you can power camera and monitor from same battery? How do you do that ?

congratulations nice video!! Can you tell me which ninja you use, Thank you very much

Have you noticed that the r5c once rigged out with the Nano One wont turn back on once if you power off the camera from video mode? I have to unplug the Nano One, eject the internal lp-e6 (wont turn on with nano one unless theres an lp-e6) and then boot everything back up again.

So I just came across your channel and I did subscribe. I'm new to cameras and now retired I'm looking to get into wildlife and landscape photography as well as video so after researching I was looking at the Canon r5c over the r5 due to the 30 minute video recording. Any way can you explain how the external battery is 14 volts but the cameras runs off its 7 volt battery. Or does the camera have a voltage range 7-14 volts built in. Thanks for your help and I will continue to follow your channel

sir pls can canon R5c ring cage feets the R7 camara

could I get the link to video where you discuss the newer small rig v-mount plate and the small rig battery for the R5C

First you take Table then care all small parts, if any part missing you purchage another set?

Does this setup works on a DJI RS3 pro?

The statistic I researched with batteries is cost per watt-hour. The Canon batteries, even the third party types, cost around $3.64 per watt-hour ( $/Wh ). The V mount batteries I found were cheaper but still in the $2 / Wh range. The bulk AA size batteries from battery sellers came in at about $1/Wh. The lowest cost batteries are the “power bank” type batteries - batteries designed to recharge an iPhone or laptop. I found on Amazon a HenHot battery at $0.65 / Wh. And there are cheaper ones AND the competition is very stiff and so the price is plummeting rather aggressively. I have no doubts that in 6 months there will be bigger, better, and cheaper batteries being offered. They are also have way more energy. Many in the 100 Wh range and some as high as 200 Wh range. There are some catches. Most batteries advertise on Amazon only their mAh (milliamp hours) which is somewhat useless. But it seems that this is at 3.3 volts so you can take the stated mAh and multiple by 3.3 to get the mWh - then divide by 1000 to get watt-hours. Some brands advertise Wh on the web site so a little digging will produce better numbers. The other thing to watch out for is USB-C PD comes in several different flavors. (Technically, different output voltage capabilities.). The R5C requires just under 20 watts in the 8K 60p mode (with the lenses I’ve tested). Be sure to check that the power bank can deliver this type of power *from* *a* *single* *port*. Many of them say that they have four ports and so they can deliver some astounding amount of power but they can’t deliver that power out a single port. As usually with Chinese consumer products on Amazon, there is a TON of advertising hype so please read and research AND… don’t be ashamed to just send the crap that doesn’t work back to Amazon. It is what they signed up for by allowing the vague descriptions in the first place. Now… mounting it is going to be more challenging. I’m using just some Velcro straps right now. Not pretty but I consider it still a work in progress.

What charger do you use for the V mount battery?

Great video Josh. How would you approach using the battery grip and a top handle? As the battery grip would restrict you from using a cage? Also, how is the battery life if only in photo mode (with a single battery)? Many thanks!

🙏

I wonder how heavy the full build is?

Good Job. Could give me the exact number of smallrig cage because in Italy I cannot find it? Thanks

Such a helpful video thank you! Quick question, will the R5C + Small Rig Cage + Battery grip work on a DJI RS3 Pro?

How do you power the monitor while you re using the usb-c to provide the camera externly.

Hi! please tell me..the 4k is just crop sensor mode of full sensor? thanks!

Hi Josh, are you able to record slow and fast with proxies on the R5C? The manual PDF says I should be able to, but for some reason the SD card function is greyed out once I’m in Slow and Fast mode.

Whats the code numer of that SmallRig monitor mount? It's sweet that you can adjust it with one hand.

What mico to full HDMI do you use? I'm getting problems with mine cutting the input signal in and out.

Or you could Mount the vlock plate upside down and have chance to look at evf and don’t block the screen 😊 the only problem is that won’t sit flush on a table

How would you power the monitor with the fxlion?

Can you balance it on a gimbal with just the cage and battery. I was thinking about getting a titon base but they are expensive and out of stock everywhere

Great content! A question : is this setup compatible with the DJI RS3 Pro gimbal?

Josh, I'm testing the new Smallrig 99 V-Mount battery and I'm having some issues. The battery has basiclly the same specs as the FxLion in your video and was wondering if the FxLion has the same issues. Using the USB-C the camera will not recognise the Smallrig battery when it's powered on. If the camera is turned on, the only way it will recognize the external battery is to unplug and then plug it back in. At that time the camera battery icon on the lcd screen turns gray and I know it' running on the Smallrig. Just realized today that if the camera's internal battery is less that 100% the camera will detect the Smallrig when it's turned on and off, basically it works as you would expect. I have tried 3 different PD rated cables including the one that came with the camera. Also, I have the cable you use in your video. I have another cable coming in a few days but I'm thinking it might be a firmware issue. BTW it will charge the battery via USB-C when the camera is off. I have a long email sent to Smallrig trying to get answers but nothing yet. This battery is so new that there's hardly anyone talking about it. I was wondering if you are having any issues like this using the Fxlion battery. Thanks

i currently have had a Canon 80D for a long time and have been depsertley researching for months on different full frame cameras for both high quality photography along with stunningly crisp Video for a number of scenarios. I have been buying alot of Sigma Lenses that are EF mount which sucks because the cameras that are obviously better are ones like the Sony A7siii, Sony A7R V, Canon R5 (What I am most leaning towards) which all have different mounts that I would buy adapters to fit my current lenses. I have been debating for so long but deserve an upgrade in quality from what I currently use. Any recomendations on any cameras I did not mention or any I did mention! Do you think the R5 would be perfect for me? I would really appreciate any suggestions from people who have used many different cameras and would like to help me buy the perfect one!

Thanks for this video Josh! Does the NANO ONE stay secured to that battery plate when you snap it on? I have the NANO THREE and it does not lock. I’m wondering if it’s a problem with the battery. Thanks!

this might be a dumb question, but do they make a rig that can fit the grip AND the external power? with the same type setup you're doing here?

I shoot weddings so is that here a cage that allows the use of the Tascam XLR inputs on the 5RC?
