SHAPE Complete Rig System for Select RED Cameras

Description

The Complete Rig System from SHAPE is a camera support system designed for RED WEAPON EPIC-W, SCARLET-W, and RAVEN cameras. It includes the REVOLT VCT universal baseplate, a top plate with extendable top handle, a pair of telescopic handles compatible with ARRI rosettes, a 4 x 5.6" (10.16 x 14.35 cm) matte box, and a snap-on follow focus unit. The follow focus snaps onto 15 mm rods, allowing for quick attachment, removal, and repositioning. The matte box features a swing-away system and two 4 x 5.6" (10.16 x 14.35 cm) rotating filter stages.

Featuring a sliding camera plate, SHAPE 's REVOLT VCT Universal Baseplate can accommodate rigs of varying sizes. Simply attach your camera via 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 screws to the top plate, and slide it onto the shoulder plate. Fore and aft movement allows you to balance the weight of your setup properly. Further adjustments can be made by moving the shoulder pad. The 15 mm rod clamps at the front and rear of the baseplate allow you to secure 15 mm accessories such as a matte box, follow focus, lens motors, lens supports, battery plates, or external recorders. Since the front rod clamp is attached to the top plate, the rod-mounted accessories don't need to be repositioned as the rig is adjusted. Additionally, handles can be mounted to the ARRI standard rosettes on either side of the plate. When not shoulder-mounted, the baseplate can be secured to a standard VCT-14 ENG quick release in a matter of seconds, saving time on set.

The black Telescopic Handles with ARRI Rosettes from SHAPE  are left and right handgrips that can be attached to cameras and camera support hardware that has standard ARRI rosettes. Each arm features three points of articulation, combined with the approximately two inches of arm extension allows you to adjust the arms for your comfort. The arms attach to your camera or support via an ARRI compatible rosette with spring-loaded locking levers, which allow you to lock your arms in place without having a full 360° of rotation.

Shape's unique push-button articulating joint provides additional articulation near the rosette, while a second push-button articulation joint allows you to rotate and precisely position the rubber handgrips. A second spring-loaded locking lever along the arms allows you to extend the arms up to two inches and rotate the handgrips throughout 360°. The arms are indexed for extension and rotation, so you can quickly move between known setups.

This pair of  Shape 15 mm Aluminium Rods (4") connect into your camera rig, extend it, and let you add various Shape and third-party accessories compatible with 15 mm rods. With these two rods and with a few fundamental accessories, you can most certainly even begin building your own rig from scratch.

The rods are each 15 mm in diameter, 4 inches ( 10 cm) long, hollow, non-threaded, and made of reliable aluminium coated with a clear finish.

This pair of  Shape 15mm Aluminium Rods (8") connect into your camera rig, extend it, and let you add various Shape and third-party accessories compatible with 15 mm rods. With these two rods and with a few fundamental accessories, you can most certainly even begin building your own rig from scratch.

The rods are each 15 mm in diameter, 8 inches (20 cm) long, hollow, non-threaded, and made of reliable aluminium coated with a clear finish.

The top handle and top plate are designed to give you a solid and comfortable grip for the manipulation of your RED camera. The Push Button Arm with view finder bracket can easily be attached to the EVF mount of the top handle for an optimal setup of your RED camera rig. The handle grip frame is made from robust CNC machined aluminium and the finger grip is made from genuine Canadian maple wood for maximum comfort. You can quickly adjust and lock the handle length for an extension of approximately 3 inches (7.62 cm) from its original position in order to optimise the balance of your camera to your lens type.

The SHAPE Follow Focus Pro mounts on 15 mm rods and features an adjustable arm which puts the gear at the optimal position for the lens, no matter what the diameter is. The unit snaps onto 15 mm rods, allowing for quick attachment, removal, and re-positioning. Two 0.8 pitch gears come included and give you a choice of either 28 teeth or 43 teeth - depending on the throw distance of the lens. Additional features include two adjustable hard stops, removable marking disc, and an industry standard accessory port for using optional whips and cranks.

The 2-Stage 4 x 5.6" Matte Box from SHAPE can be used as a clip-on matte box or can be mounted on industry-standard 15 mm rod system. It is designed for light control, insertion, and adjustment of filters. It features a two-stage rotating 4 x 5.6" filter holder. The matte box accepts lenses with a front diameter up to 114 mm. It comes with six step-down rings that allow you to fit lenses with an outer diameter of 52, 58, 62, 67, 72, 77, and 82 mm as well.
