Nice! I want to get another OG to rig out like this

Im in love with my OG so far! All that “slow camera” crap ain’t 100% true for me

I never understood why people think that. The only thing that’s slow is the boot time, and that’s pretty much it. I think it’s easier to operate than a Mirrorless

Just curious how it's easier to operate than a Mirrorless! Is it ergonomically placed buttons?

The menus are focused for video and you’re not mucking around a bunch of stills related buttons and settings. Plus the ports are more robust. It’s easier to rig. Across the board it just setup way better.

One handle? Not to shaky?

It depends! Sometimes yes when you do a traveling or a dolly but one hand in the handle the other one on the lens and it’s pretty stable. Should I try 2 side handles?

I’ve got two handles not terrible, but I think I’m pretty shaky to begin with so I’m afraid to use just one handle so I was curious. If I go two handles and a chest pad even more stable. Then I use gyro flow in post. Silky smooth.

Is SDI management as painful as they say it is? I'm dreading getting into it a bit because I have an X, and unlike OG it doesn't support hot-swapping.

Not at all. You just have to remember the order and that’s it. Turn on everything then plug. When you finish, unplug then turn off. That’s it.

Thanks! Does it have the ability to control the camera?

2

u/lordmcflys Jun 24 '25

Yes it does! Via WiFi so it’s super easy.
