For shoulder-mounted configurations, the kit comes with an adjustable dual handgrip system, a padded shoulder support, and a basic 7″ HDMI monitor for framing and focusing your shots. The monitor is mounted to the top of the rig using an adjustable Magic Arm EVF/monitor mount. Rounding out the kit is a 150Wh V-mount lithium-ion battery and a V-mount power adapter plate. A LP-E6 dummy battery pack lets you power select Canon cameras like the 5D and 7D. When not in use, the key components of the rig can be safely stored inside a hard protection case with custom pre-cut foam interior.
Your camera attaches to the bridge plate via a 1/4″-20 or 3/8″-16 screw. It offers 1.6″ of height adjustment and features a quick-release camera plate for easy removal of your camera from the rig. The C-shaped support arm is also height adjustable and can swing open to the side when changing lenses. It mounts onto the rods included with the bridge plate and provides additional 15mm rod clamps at the top for adding an included top handle via a pair of 7.8″ rods. In addition to the top handle, rods on top of the rig are useful for attaching the Magic Arm when you want to use the 7″ HDMI monitor.
The included matte box fits lenses with a maximum front outer diameter of 100mm. It features two rotating 4 x 4″ filter stages and incorporates a swing-away design for rapid lens changes. Removable top and side flags are included to block unwanted light from hitting your lens. Other accessories that mount in front of the camera are the Universal Grip V2 and follow focus, which both utilize a clamping design that lets you attach them to the 15mm rods without having to remove the matte box. The follow focus features integrated A and B hard stops that let you set start/end points on DSLR lenses with continuously rotating focus rings. The follow focus features a 0.8 pitch drive gear, which can be positioned on either side of the gearbox. For use with DSLR lenses that lack an integrated focus gear rings, an adjustable gear ring comes included.
The V-mount battery adapter plate can be mounted on 15mm rods or directly on top of the shoulder support. It features a V-mount for attaching the included 150Wh lithium-ion battery and provides DC outputs with different voltages (5, 7.2, 12, and 15V). The battery can be recharged using the AC power adapter included with the Battery Pinch. To power a Canon 5D, 7D, 60D, or other select Canon DSLRs from the adapter plate, an LP-E6 dummy battery is included. Additionally, the Battery Pinch has a built-in HDMI splitter.
