If we were to use one word to describe these shoulder rigs it would be balance! You cannot shoot with a rig that is not balanced, you’ll be fighting fatigue on long shoots. Whether you’re shooting TV, film, documentaries, weddings or news, a balanced shoulder mounted rig will keep your shots steady and allow you to shoot the whole day.
The Zacuto Next Generation Rig is compatible with many cameras including mirrorless and DSLRs. It includes the VCT Pro baseplate which will help you balance your rig and is universal for all cameras (size and weight allowing). The QR Riser raises the camera to a height compatible with matte boxes. It also allows you to quick release your camera and mount it to a tripod in seconds. The Zgrip Zwivel fully articulating handgrip gets your hand in the most comfortable position. Wrapping around the side and top of the rig is the Halfcage Rail and Recoil Handle.
The Zacuto Next Generation Rig is made up of the following items:
• Zacuto VCT Pro Baseplate
• Zacuto QR Riser
• Zacuto 3” Z Rail
• Zacuto Half Cage Rail
• Zacuto Axis Mini
• Zacuto Zgrip Z-Mount Zwivel
• Zacuto Recoil Handle
