Each project can need a different camera configuration.
Today, we'll see how Redrock Micro's gear can help us in this situations.
Every camera can be used straight out of the box.
But to get the best results, and depending of each production...
you're gonna need to add a few different accesories.
We recommend to stick with a universal standard system
like the 15mm rod support systems.
This will allow you to adapt pieces to many different cameras.
Redrock Micro it's one of the most popular brand for this type of accesories.
The main piece it's the baseplate...
the heart of every rig that can be used with many cameas.
In our case, we customized the height of the quick release system
so we could use DSLR cameras with battery grips
without increasing the overall height of the rig too much.
You can add a follow focus or a matte box to form a nice compact rig.
With these support arms from Redrock Micro...
you can add side and top rods, building what it's known as a cage.
This allow us to add a top handle...
giving the camera a much more comfortable form factor.
It's specially useful when we have a fully rigged camera because
the top handle makes it much easier to carry the rig around.
Plus it adds a level of protection to your equipment.
You can also use this piece, the Micromount...
it let's you mount any accesory in any part of the rods.
You can mount lights, microphones, monitors and more...
it's very useful and we use it in every shoot.
The good thing about these type of systems is that
the combinations and configurations are endless.
Don't limit yourself by building the rigs only like they are pictured online.
You can try hundreds of combinations, mixing accesories from
different manufacters that use the 15mm rod system.
There are other brands that offer similiar high quality products
like Arri, Zacuto, Letus, Genus and more.
We trust Redrock Micro's products because they offer excellent quality
for an adequate price, plus they're widely distributed worldwide.
