SHAPE Shoulder Mount System with Matte Box & Follow Focus Kit for RED KOMODO

Description

Create a lightweight shoulder mount rig with follow focus and matte box for your RED KOMODO cinema camera that allows you to quickly go from a shoulder-mount rig to a gimbal-ready camera setup, with this SHAPE Shoulder Mount System with Matte Box & Follow Focus Kit for RED KOMODO. The cage is the centerpiece, wrapping your camera in an external shell that allows you to attach accessories without straining the camera. The included top handle mounts on the cage, it is easy to adjust, and features multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting holes, as well as a tilting bracket suitable for adding accessories.

The included lightweight baseplate system consists of a dovetail plate that attaches to your camera. It mounts onto the system's dovetail adapter and allows you to quickly mount your camera into the baseplate, which has integrated 15mm rod clamps that the shoulder and back pad mount on to create the shoulder mount rig. The dovetail plate, attached to your camera, slides out of the baseplate system, leaving the camera without rods or shoulder pads and allowing it to mount on a Ronin 2 gimbal. The follow focus kit mounts on a single rod and has a variety of drive gears as well as a whip and speed crank. The matte box accepts two 4 x 5.65" filters and mounts onto 15mm LWS rods or clips onto your lens. Swapping the camera between the gimbal setup and shoulder mount system is fast, efficient, and requires no tools.

The dovetail adapter mounts onto the 15mm lightweight baseplate, and the dovetail plate mounts on your camera enabling you to move between your gimbal and your tripod.

The adapter plate features two 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes with ARRI-style anti-twist divots, one on each side of the plate, that accept a variety of accessories as well as optional SHAPE ARRI-style rosette inserts for attaching handgrips for handheld use. The lightweight baseplate mounts on your tripod/tripod plate via 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes, and it has integrated 15mm LWS rod clamps for the included aluminum rods.

SHAPE Camera Cage with Top Handle for RED KOMODO

Add flexible carrying and improved accessory mounting, while protecting your RED KOMODO cinema camera with this SHAPE Camera Cage with Top Handle for RED KOMODO. The top handle features SHAPE's well-known push-button release system, which is fast, secure, and won't slow down your shoot. The top handle also features a tilting bracket suitable for adding a monitor, light, or even a microphone to your rig, keeping your rig light and compact by avoiding additional accessory mounting equipment.

The durable 3-piece cage is built around the top plate that you mount on your KOMODO, and this allows you to mount the side riser panels and the included 15mm rod clamps. Once mounted on your camera, you've created a sturdy external cage that provides accessory mounting holes, as well as ARRI-compatible rosettes on each side for mounting optional grips to help you when handholding the rather boxy camera.

The Top Handle

• Mounts on your cage
• Utilizes the push-button release system that allows you to adjust the orientation using a single hand
• Adjustments can be made on the fly, without stopping the shoot to loosen, adjust, and then tighten levers
• Press the release button, adjust the position, and release the button
• A removable bracket slides into the cold shoe on the front of the top handle and allows you to mount accessories up to 4.4 pounds
• The top handle offers nine 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes and twelve 3/8"-16 mounting holes with anti-twist divots
• It features aluminum construction with a strip of maple wood for comfort

Cage

The advantage of the cage is it provides a rigid external frame to your RED KOMODO for attaching accessories without stressing or damaging your camera's body.

Accessorize

The RED KOMODO camera's boxy shape is efficient, though not very ergonomically friendly. The cage allows you to add optional grips to your camera via the ARRI-style rosettes, providing the opportunity of making the camera more handheld friendly.

Accessory Mounting on the Cage

• Multiple 1/4"-20 accessory mounting threads for attaching a variety of available accessories, such as articulating arms.
• Additional 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes with ARRI-style anti-twist divots allow you to attach accessories that stay secure and won't unexpectedly twist, which usually happens at the worst moment, ruining the shot.
• Two individual 15mm spring-loaded rod clamps can be mounted on the cage for adding rod-mounted accessories.

Rod Clamps

The individual rod clamps can be attached to the cage and allow you to mount optional 15mm rods. Each clamp uses a spring-loaded lever for securing your rod in the clamp.
