Our DOF Docu kit is designed for use on a tripod, dolly or Steadicam with a DOF (depth of field) 35mm lens adapter such as the Letus35, Brevis, MovieTube, P+S Tecnik, and/or RedRock Micro. The DOF adapter allows you to use Nikon, Canon or Zeiss still lenses and achieve the same shallow DOF as 35mm motion picture film.
The combination of our height adjustable Universal Baseplate and Z-Riser allows you to mount any matte box and follow focus. Our Locking lens support provides the most stable mount for a DOF adapter and eliminates any rotation or shifting when pulling focus or moving the camera rig.
When you purchase the DOF DOCU Kit you have the option of adding a Z-Balance. The Z-balance was designed for long length, front heavy, camera packages. The Z-balance attaches to the 15mm lightweight rods from your camera’s baseplate. The Z-balance will attach to the tripod plate using a 3/8 16” and ¼ 20” screw. The Z-balance should be placed in front of your camera baseplate when the center of gravity is under the lens from adding weight to the front of the camera with accessories like a depth of field adaptor, follow focus, matte box, etc. The adjustability of the Z-balance makes it possible to balance a front heavy camera on your tripod properly.
Zacuto’s baseplate kits are universal and quick-releasable; they can be used with any 15mm lightweight accessories, follow focuses & matte boxes. The kits are designed to be used with current and future models of cameras & camcorders such as the: Panasonic HVX200a, DVX100a/b, Canon XL-H1, XL2, GL2, XH-A1 Sony XDCAM EX1, EX3, SO-HVR-Z1U, VX2000, PD-150, PD-170, JVC GY-HD100U, HD200U, HD250U, JVC GY-HM100U, Silicon Imaging SI2K, RED ONE, and many more.
