ATEM MINI PRO RIG
Compact, portable, mountable. Fully self-contained power, networking, and monitoring.
Save time and space when you arrive on set with a self-contained ATEM Mini Pro / ISO rig. Don’t bother updating network settings as you move between the office, home, and location with a built-in router. A single V-mount battery or AC adapter powers the whole system and eliminates cable clutter. Mount it on a tripod, or place it on a desk. Save footprint and cable runs by stacking laptops, mixers, cameras, or autocue on to the rig itself.
This ATEM Mini Pro / ISO rig was designed almost entirely using off-the-shelf, universal video production parts. 15-mm rods, rail blocks, NATO clamps, and 1/4-20 cheeseboards makes it highly customizable with existing production production equipment. Plus, when you out-grow your ATEM Mini, there’s no wastage since all these parts can be re-purposed in other kits, such as camera rigging.

Mount for ATEM Mini Pro

SmallRig Cheeseplate (x2)
Use one for the tablet mount, and the other to connect to a tripod plate.
CAMVATE Long Cheese Plate (x3)
Use two for the main cage structure, and the third as a vertical support for the router.
SmallRig 15mm Railblock Rod Clamp (x4)
We’ll use 4 pairs (8 in total). They’re handy, so get a 5th to be safe!
6-Inch 15mm Rod Pair (x2)
We’ll use 2 pairs (4 total) for the top and bottom of the main cage structure.
12-Inch 15mm Rod Pair
Use 1 x 12-inch rod at the back of the rig to mount devices. If you want a slightly smaller rig with fewer devices, a 10-inch rod would fit the length of the ATEM Mini Pro well.
4-Inch 15mm Rod Pair
These shorter rods are useful for mounting the camera baseplate, the Autocue, or the laptop trays.
SmallRig 15mm Rod Clamp
Used to support the cross-bar rod at the back of the rig.

Electrical
AC to DC 12V 10A 120W Power Adapter, 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC Plug
12V/10A for plenty of current to power all the devices in the rig.

Female 5.5×2.1mm to Male 5.5×2.5mm Right-Angled DC Barrel
The Streaming Bridge and ATEM Mini Pro require a 2.5mm inner-barrel. Plus the Right-Angle saves space.
DC Female to Female Connector 5.5mm x 2.1mm
Useful to connect the power splitter to devices.
Female D-Tap
This is only part requiring soldering – to connect the Power Splitter to the D-Tap Port.
DC Power Pigtail Cable, 2.1mm x 5.5mm Barrel, 18 AWG
Solder this to the Female D-Tap (if you would like to run D-Taps via the same Power Splitter, otherwise, skip this step).

With this in your rig, you’ll be able to easily plug in the D-Tap power connections commonly used in video production.
D-Tap to 2.5mm DC Locking Barrel
I use this cable to connect to the ATEM Mini Pro itself, because of the more secure locking connector. You could alternatively connect it via the right angle 2.5mm DC plug.

D-Tap to 2-Pin LEMO

Tap into the convenience of your existing 12V power and step down to 5V for devices such as the HDMI Splitter, Router, and Rasberry Pi 4.
DualLock Adhesive Fasteners
More stable than regular velcro, mount the Step-Down Regulator to the back of the tablet mount.
6-Inch USB-A to USB-C 2.0
The USB 2.0 spec isn’t intended for data, but the small size and flexibility of these cables are useful to power the router and Raspberry Pi 4 from the Step-Down Converter’s USB-A ports.

Power the Kanex Pro HDMI Splitter from the 12v to 5v Step-Down Regulator.
1ft 4K@60Hz HDMI Cable (x6)
You can never have enough of these…the benefit of this rig design is short cables.
1.5ft HDMI Cable
Use a slightly longer cable to reach articulating devices such as the 10.1″ Lilliput Monitor.
0.5ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable (x4)
Because the devices are so close together, most can use 1/2ft ethernet patch cables.
1ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable (x2)

Atem Mini Extreme options?
Hi Jay! I’m working the Companion Profile Extreme version at the moment. Hope to release it next month. If I get rig inspiration for it along the way I’ll post it here, though I suspect its size really makes it a desktop item rather than rig mountable like the Pro.
Hi,
I wonder how monitor performed outdoor compared to Atomos Ninja V (brightness). Thanks
Hi Viliami, the Lilliput A11 is 320 cd/m2 brightness, so it would be difficult to see in bright outdoors, especially when used as an autocue monitor, since the 70/30 glass reduces some of the brightness. If you need something outdoors, look for something in the 1000 or 2000nit range.
As a One Man Band I love the rig and all the options. I’d like to see a video on your Beryl setup. Its a time saver not having to re-enter IP Addresses.
I also have an ATEM Extreme ISO. Yes its a desktop but I’m looking to utilize 6 cameras and the Stream Deck for bigger venues.
J.R.
Extreme ISO is great – I’ve been creating a new Stream Deck profile for it. I’ll put the Beryl on my list of videos to make!
Extreme ISO yea.. will there be a video rigging on it ???
the Atem mini pro ISO is a switcher and all ..
the same that can be said for extreme ISO and EVEN MORE.
It will be phenomenal to see a extreme ISO protable rigging .
I saw the stands on pk1.tv but to have this as a protable rigging version is way more spoken for us a multi production as one person. There is also others who did an amazing table sett up (FLY PACK SYSTEM) it’s amazing yess . but to have its protable rigging without desks and table now we are talking. 😄
This an amazing amount of information you provide.. Thank you!
Hi David
any news about the Companion Profile for Atem Extreme?
Count the hours until your announcement…
Hi Ilan! So close…details dropping next week!
Thank you for your time and information.
My pleasure! What sort of set up have you been building?
