Hey guys,
Check it out!
Finally, I got some of the parts needed to build my own Nikon Z8 camera rig. And it only cost over $200+ including my new Feelworld field monitor. I'm still waiting for my top handle though. The handle that I ordered before was canceled.
A good thing as I realized I'd prefer a different design. That will allow me to fit my monitor in front instead of on the top side. This would be more ergonomic and look much nicer. I learned this from one of the YouTube videos. lol.
Another thing is that I bought a wheel-type side handle for my rig. It looks nice and feels good to hold. Also, it helps me to hide my HDMI A TO A cable inside it. Pretty nifty. I can't use the cable included with my Feelworld monitor as it's an HDMI A to mini.
The wheel is also light. On the right side, I decided to use the hand strap that I already have. Surprisingly, it's not that heavy. Even with the monitor fixed. I'll weigh it once everything is done. I also think it'll make my video more stable now.
Now that I have a camera rig, I decided to buy a bigger camera backpack. I found one from the K&F Concept camera backpack. It is 32L size with a shoulder bag included. You can use the shoulder bag instead of carrying the whole backpack, when out and about during traveling.
I want to use that shoulder bag to put the camera rig inside. A hassle to take the rig apart, especially on travel. Well, I'll still have to take out the monitor. I won't need it all the time. I discovered while traveling, my family won't wait for me. So, I'll have to be fast.
Making a cinematic story or video doesn't have to travel to faraway places. That's my conclusion. Currently, my philosophy and style is about the daily grind of life. The little things that we do every day. Your home is a good start to create something with your camera.
I like to dabble with my camera and test a lot with it. What's better than to test taking pictures and videos in your home? It might not seem much but I've watched others do it and they can evoke emotion in you. A feeling of nostalgia or loneliness etc.
I bought the field monitor to see and take a video of myself. You can turn it around and see yourself on the bigger screen. My Z8 view screen can't be used for selfies. Not like, my Nikon Zfc. If you don't have someone to be or act in your video, you can?
I watched a video where a photo looks even better with a subject in it. So, you can do a bit of your own acting in your video. Of course, it's always better to use a tripod. You can adjust the tripod height or put it at an angle taking a video of you. You don't even have to show your face. Cool!
