wanghubie Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hey all! I am new here. I just got a GH4 and am trying to set up a full rig. I am thinking of getting the CAME TV GH4 rig which is right here http://www.came-tv.com/cametv-dslr-cage-for-gh4-sony-a7s-5d-mark-iii-p-401.html I would love to hear what you guys think of it.Now I am wondering wether I should get a monitor or a EVF. I want to shoot my next project with the anamorphic 2.35 or 2.39:1 aspect ratio, and I quickly realized it limits my option to pretty much the SmallHD monitors. I am looking for something with a reasonable price, so the AC7 seems to be one. However, I am also looking at EVF and the Z-Finder pro from Zacuto seems to be one of the best ones out there.I want to build a strong rig that will last me a while. I have a decent budget, but it is not limitless. I would love to hear what all your thoughts are! One more question, will I be able to run both the monitor and the EVF at the same time?Thank you!!-Hubert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 why do you need an EVF when the GH4 has a superb oled EVF built in it!! Just use thatI use it all the time on my rig - build your rig so the camera is in the correct place for your eye on the EVF .I cannot shoot without using the built in evf its superb - dial in the diopter to suit your eye and you will never have any focus issue every again ...its that good!

DigitalEd Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 For a little more i am looking at thishttp://www.edelkrone.com/us/5-modula-seriesThe Modula 9 + version -- you can hand hold and focus from the hand stick or use it on a stand and flip up the focus arm. It can be set up many ways.What you posted keeps you stuck on a tripod for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanghubie Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 I realized the website doesn't show the full rig, I am building the right thats shown in this video by Tom Antos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjoxIL3IQOs But thanks for the feed back. Andy, I know the gh4 has a great evf but it really limits my position when I am shooting of the go, I am also looking for something that can give me the 2.35:1 frame line.

wanghubie Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 I am in my last year of college, and have been shooting short films, but I am now starting to look into for commercial work and music video is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
