CINEBACK Canon R5 C - 1 YEAR REVIEW (+ Sakk Year End Review)

After a full year of filming over tons of projects, this is my honest, unaffiliated review of the CineBack rig for the Canon R5C. Does the CineBack successfully transform the Canon R5C mirrorless body into a true cinema camera? I break down my complete rig setup (including my NTG mic, Tentacle Sync timecode, and Gold Mount battery choice) and explain why I believe the box-style form factor is superior for professional work. I also reveal how this rig influenced my decision to buy a second R5C instead of a C400, and why clients think I’m shooting with a much more expensive camera!
