lot easier you don't have to avoid a cable sticking out of the side of the camera this basically just keeps the camera powered the usb out of the little came tv battery is enough to basically keep this thing alive and not drain any battery while shooting it's honestly a perfect setup don't have to do a dummy battery we'll just go ahead and pop in the npf battery for the side focusing handle and boom here we go follow focus ready to go i love this side focusing handle system for pulling focus when using manual lenses real quick before we continue with this build i want to tell you guys a little bit about the sponsor of today's video which is art grid if you haven't heard of it before art grid is an incredible library of beautifully shot stock footage from filmmakers all over the world but what sets art grid apart in my mind is the quality of content that is on there we've all heard of stock footage before oftentimes it seems very generic it seems very easy to tell that it was stock footage but here on art grid you have a massive selection of footage that looks truly professional like really cinematic they offer a super simple license that covers usage for your own personal work but also your clients work maybe there's a shot that you missed while you were out on location or your client asks for a drone shot that you have no ability to go out and shoot art grid has you covered you choose your subscription plan based off of what quality of footage you want to be able to use for NUMBER_TOKEN a month you can download their entire library in hd for NUMBER_TOKEN a month you can get everything in NUMBER_TOKENk and NUMBER_TOKENk and for NUMBER_TOKEN a month you can download all of the footage in log or even sometimes raw in my mind the world of filmmaking today the types of content we're creating this is a no-brainer being able to access this high quality of footage that's usable anywhere and in those raw and log formats so you can seamlessly add this footage into your projects or your clients projects so if you want to try it out and use some of the footage for yourself there's a link down below in the description where you can sign up and get an additional two months completely free thank you art grid for sponsoring today's video next let's go ahead and add the small rig mini map box i get it i think a lot of people are like you don't need a map box especially with a mirrorless camera but they really do serve a purpose and also i get the argument of like if you're not using rectangular filters then why would you use a matte box well this one happens to work really well with circular filters my freewell magnetic system works flawlessly and uh honestly it's just convenient cuts out flares it's lightweight of course makes the camera look a little bit bigger a little more professional which is a good thing there's no shame in that so this is like my full rigged out production setup with manual lenses but of course the sony has amazing autofocus and so let's go ahead and show you what my autofocus setup looks like it's a little stripped down still rocking the tamron NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN such an amazing lens because we're not using the side focusing handle from tilta i can swap this out for something a little bit more functional i like using this side rubber handle that mounts via nato
