Hybrid DSLR 2.0 Cinema Rigs

Posted on April 26th, 2009 by JJuan in Gadgets

The newest of DSLRs such as Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EOS Rebel T1i, Nikon D90, and Panasonic Lumix HG1 all feature HD video capture that is like synonymous to cinema quality videos. Having this capability will probably turn many people into film making or movie shooting with their SLRs.

The problem though with using an SLR for shooting a video is that it can be shaky with the very much unstable hand. Using a tripod would have solved the problem if taking a still shot but a video is all but different. Therefore, Redrock Micro developed a way to make all the HD video shooting capability of the aforementioned SLRs to good use.

The cinema rig adds weight, form factor, and features (such as mattebox, follow focus, and support cage) to your existing SLR so that it would be that of like a real cinema production equipment.

If you think this would cost you much much money then you’re wrong. As what is pointed out by James Hurd, Chief Revolutionist of RedRock Micro, they want to create portable lightweight solutions that can be suited to each and every one’s preference that would also be affordable to the consumers as they can be bought separately. True enough, this implement price starts at $195 - Good enough to get your Spielberg dream get rolling.
