  BMPC 4K Cinema Rig – Purchase list

  Posted by Dave Derr on February 13, 2014 at 8:23 pm

  Hey all,
  I am looking to send a proposal to the school district I work for and get a BMPC production rig. Currently we have some GH3s and 60Ds but I think it would be nice to get a cinema package exclusively for short films or contest work.

  Here are my needs:
  -Flexible production rig for multi-use (I need: shoulder, tripod, Steadicam Pilot, Jib & Slider/Dolly)
  -Preferably it would be fairly easy to switch between the above modes.
  -Cine lenses (Close, Medium and Wide) and the easier to swap out the better as far as the rig goes.
  -Matte box with basic filters
  -Follow Focus with cable
  -External power for camera
  -Shotgun Mic w/ external recorder
  -Other accessories (SSD, etc)
  -Less than $15k for the package, must purchase from B&H

  Here are some options I am already considering:

  Your links add up to about $7500. Cine lenses alone will eat the remaining budget for just 2 lenses. Even going with lower cost lenses it will be a challenge to fit all you’re asking for into the remaining $7500. I suggest you call B&H and talk to them about your needs and have them give you some options.
