Turning a Panasonic S5iiX into a Blackmagic Pyxis (It's better)

The Blackmagic Pyxis is not very well designed IN MY OPINION, some would call it flawed others might say it sucks. But what if you want a Blackmagic cube camera? Well I have designed my own version of the Blackmagic Pyxis using a Panasonic s5iiX, that’s cheaper, has more features and has a lot more functionality. The good news is you can make your own Pyxis too, just watch this video, it’s super easy and simple and I take you step by step through the process of how I did it. Links to all of the parts I use below.
