Both !

Right answer 😂👌🏻🎥

Both! 😊 But the cage is a pain during wintertime, as the metal gets freezing, so I understand why people would get two wooden handles. If you don’t know them already, check out 8sinn.com, they are in the same price range as Smallrig, but I like their design better.👍🏻

Gimbal for something you do for someone else. Handheld for your personal videos (gimbal vlogs are too excessive and burdensome).

Handheld only for those who have stable hands. I personally would like both! Great video for one more time :)

My pleasure. Yeh it’s so much better isn’t it. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻 enjoy 🎥🤩

😂

😂😂😂 let me know if that works! 😂

Thanks Bernie 🙏🏻🤩🎥

That’s awesome! 🤩🎥💪🏻

👌🏻 totally

Also liked what you DDid with the monitor... I didn’t even think of that when I built my cage and my top handle doesn’t allow for that type of mounting option, so I’ll have to get a new handle or figure out a solution !

Hey Damion! Thanks so much for watching. I hope you enjoy your new rig! 🤩🙏🏻🎥

That’s awesome! 🤩 I hope you enjoy 🎥

Thank you Peter 🙏🏻 thanks for watching. I hope this video helped in some way 🤩🎥

@@SamHolland It really did, Sam. Plus, I just enjoy your style. Always fun and entertaining. 👍

I’m pleased 🤩 ah thank you so much! Stay tuned for more on the way 🎥🙏🏻

@@SamHolland Yes, sir!

Thanks Joshua! 🤩🙏🏻🎥

Pretty cool eh! Let me know if you do! 🙏🏻🎥🤩

Awesome! 🤩 hope it helps! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻🎥

Thank YOU Alexandre for watching 🙏🏻🎥🤩

Thanks Daz 🎥🙏🏻🤩

@@SamHolland i just set up my R6 based on your advice - how do you handle the weight? she's pretty heavy now :|

It should add to the stabilisation 👌🏻🤩🎥 smoother shots… and a little bit of gym 😂💪🏻

100% on the list 🤩🙏🏻💪🏻🎥

🤩 exciting! 🎥🙏🏻

Hi Robert. Thanks so much for tuning in! 🙏🏻 sounds like a fun setup you have. That will be great! 🤩🎥

Sliders are amazing!!!

Thanks for watching Ben. Hope it helped 🙏🏻🤩🎥

Awesome! 🙏🏻🤩🎥👌🏻

100% 🤩 so much better! 🎥 thanks for watching

@@SamHolland hey dont mention it man, love your content 👍

🤩 thank you!

There are now two different monitor mounts on Amazon , 2903-CF and 2904-CF, and I don’t know which one to choose. Can someone please help me explain. /Cheers!

So pleased! Thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻

😂 so true! Thank you for watching. 🙏🏻

Thank you Angelo 🙏🏻 I hope you get plenty of value here. 🎥🤩

I guess the rails could also hold a follow focus and V or Gold mount battery.

@@JimHarrisonFilm That's an option but the battery life on isn't that bad and it has auto focus. It sounds like things you might add for very long shoots.

@@ElusiveFrame Yeah definitely. Something to do if you want to power everything from one source and use manual lenses.

The filter adapter only works when you’re using EF style lenses annoyingly. I actually had one but sent it back because of this. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥

Hey. I’ve since upgraded my rigs. You can just swap the camera out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZycZrmdztuRaIk.htmlsi=RGCTdw2f52gximZs Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻🎥

Hey. I use these geni.us/1YKRC Hope this helps 🙏🏻🎥

Thanks so much! Sounds like a great setup you have. No, unfortunately not. That would be an amazing feature if so. 👏🏻 thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥🤩

@@SamHolland ahh OK. Yes it would be so good. I love touch focusing for certain shots. For example, today even whilst filming a conference, using the touch on the R6 screen was super useful. The speakers were stood in front of a busy background that had big photographs printed of a few of the companies colleagues. Now and again, when the speaker did a move across the stage or turned sideways, the AF with face rec would swap to a new face (the photos we're right behind the speakers). Does the camera screen on the R6 work at all when the Ninja is plugged in? If I got one, I'd be able to record to it and monitor the shot but use the R6 screen to reconfirm the focus point.

Oh no. Sorry about that! I’ll update the links 🙏🏻🤩🎥 thanks for letting us know.

Hi Jeremy. Yeh, you can mount plates underneath the cage. I can pop a mic on the handle grip or swap some bits around if I want it somewhere else. I hope you enjoy your new rig 🤩🎥 thanks for watching 🙏🏻

🙏🏻🎥👌🏻 thank you for watching

Hi. Yeh they don’t usually sell cages in stores in the UK either so a lot of research has to be done. No. It’s not the black mamba. The parts are listed in the description though. Thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻🎥

😂 you’re right about it being never-ending! Yeh I have the Rode mic pro plus but just recently started using this as I think it sounds better... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKdzoZCQ0K2sdKc.html

Left hand stays on the lens for focusing. Right hand grip makes the grip wider and more stable.

It all depends on what look you’re going for. If you want quick movement for sports or music videos then handheld is the way to go but gimbals are great for slow smooth movement like wedding films or slow music videos etc. But ultimately it’s your creative decisions 🤩🙏🏻 thanks for watching.

No, none at all. 🙏🏻🎥

@@SamHolland I'm glad to read that! I love the R6's features but this one drawback became a real issue for me lately, especially during summer and whilst recording in a hotter environment. I really need to think about getting one then 😃

The S5 is another great choice which is what I use now and love it! So good for video. I have lots of videos on it too. 🤩🙏🏻🎥 hope this doesn’t throw another spanner in the works 😛

eos m50

Amazing camera!

EOS M50 is a good shout. Sony do some great options too. But you might be able to pick up a used Canon eos R

geni.us/1YKRC Hi Peter. Here’s the link. This is a full size HDMI cable adapter (end) but please just follow the link and search for which length and size end you need. Thank you for watching. Hope this helps 🙏🏻🎥

@@SamHolland thanks Sam! Appreciate it

Hi. Yeah the rails are a good choice but I have this matte box kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsmkdrCL0ZzLdqM.html So I don’t really have the lens issue anymore. But I would get rails when not using it. And yes, a HDMI clamp would be a good idea. Actually going to get one myself. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥

Yeh the hdmi clamps are good, just it was the other end out of the mo it or that I broke 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Oooo sorry I forgot to put the link. Here it is... www.amazon.co.uk/your-orders/pop/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_pop?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B01IKQNTGM&gen=canonical&lineItemId=jmrmrphulmqvooy&orderId=205-4123746-5574766&packageId=1&returnSummaryId=&returnUnitIndices=&returnUnitMappingId=&shipmentId=DXTPBTh8K

Thanks for the answer, I can't enter the link, do you have the name please?

It’s called slimHDMI 🙏🏻

Hi Scott. I turn the ibis off when going handheld. I also leave the digital body ibis off all the time and only use the lens IS when vlogging now. Ive recently added the new Smallrig mini matte box to this setup which balanced the rig even more keeping the image more stable. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsmkdrCL0ZzLdqM.html I just like the handheld stuff to look exactly that… handheld. There is an art to it though. Making sure your rig is weighted and balanced correctly and also your movements need to be just right. Still learning 🤩 Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🎥🙏🏻

@@SamHolland definitely helps. thank you. appreciate the reply.

My pleasure 🤩🙏🏻🎥 thank YOu

Heavier handheld rig means smoother footage

Hi John. I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve seen people do it. Might be worth getting a nato rail for the handle so you can quickly slide that off and it would be quicker and easier to balance 👌🏻🎥 thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻

Hi. I put it on the cold shoe mount on top of the handle. Thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻🎥

@@SamHolland ohh yeah i see now there is one mount there haha ! Do you think it helps with stabilizing your footage with the whole cage setup?

🤩 yes. 100% makes your shots steadier. I love filming handheld with the cage. I only use gimbals when I need super smooth longer shots now. 🙏🏻🎥

@@SamHolland Niceee ! have you consider having a base plate with the rods so you can hold that instead of the lens? i feel like that would help for getting steadier shots

Yeh I didn’t used to like them but actually I think they’re good. Got a video coming soon about the smallrig focus wheel so that’s now on the cage 😂 too many changes I can’t even keep up with myself 🙏🏻

I know what you mean. Can take a while to get set up and attach accessories etc. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥
