The Wooden Camera ARRI ALEXA Mini Accessory Kit (Advanced) is a professional camera support package that includes the Quick Cage with 15mm Lightweight Baseplate, NATO Handle Kit, Battery Slide, 12" Safety Dovetail Plate, and Dovetail Clamp. It also includes a pair each of 6" and 9" 15mm rods and two 15mm LW Rod Clamps.
The Wooden Camera Quick Cage is a form-fitting cage for the ARRI Alexa Mini. It attaches to the camera with the help of four M4 screws on top and four M4 screws on the bottom, making it extremely secure. The M4 hole pattern found on the camera body is present on the cage top plate. This allows for attachment of ARRI brand handles and accessories. Arrays of 1/4-20 holes in standard spacing and multiple 3/8"-16 holes are available for large accessories. In addition, 3/8"-16 holes with adjacent locating pins are available for ARRI accessories in several places.
The cage side pieces feature NATO standard accessory rails with spring-loaded safety pins on each end to prevent accidental removal. The NATO rails also feature 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 holes. Clamped to the side rails are two NATO rosettes (ARRI) that adapt an ARRI standard rosette to quick-release NATO rail.
The included 15mm lightweight baseplate can attach to any tripod plate or ARRI standard bridgeplate. When studio rods are not needed, a dovetail clamp (such as the WC Quick Dovetail) can be added instead to interface with ARRI dovetails or shoulder rigs. The WC 15mm LW Rod Clamp (sold separately) can be attached to the rear of the Quick Dovetail for independent rear rod support.
This is a single, 6" long 15mm Support Rod from Wooden Camera for mounting accessories. It is chamfered at each end to ease sliding accessories on and off, and has a hollow interior providing for maximum strength.
This is a single, 9" long 15mm Support Rod from Wooden Camera for mounting accessories. It is chamfered at each end to ease sliding accessories on and off, and has a hollow interior providing for maximum strength.
This Wooden Camera NATO Handle Kit , consisting of a quick-release top handle and 3.9" (100mm) NATO rail, offers a variety of mounting points for attaching viewfinders, focus motors, lights, shock mounts, and other accessories.
The handle features a sideways 15mm rod port, 15mm rod opening in front, 19mm rod opening in the rear, shoe mount, and 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads all around. The sideways 15mm rod port is ideal for attaching Wooden Camera's UVF Mount or other viewfinder mounts. Two 1/4"-20 socket screws are included for binding rods in the front and rear rod openings.
The NATO rail can be attached to any two 1/4"-20 threads positioned up to 72mm apart, such as on a cage or select cameras. The handle conveniently slides on and off and secures in place by a lever. A rotating knob on top allows the handle to be adjusted sideways or reversed to the rear by a rosette-like mechanism.
The Wooden Camera Dovetail Clamp allows you to attach cameras, baseplates, or accessories to an ARRI standard dovetail. It features slots at multiple locations for inserting mounting screws from underneath, and comes with two 3/8"-16 and two 1/4"-20 low profile screws.
The 12" Safety Dovetail Plate from Wooden Camera is an ARRI standard dovetail with a stopper screw on one end and a safety latch on the other to prevent accidental camera detachment. It features threaded 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 holes for accessory mounting and tripod attachment. The dovetail can be attached to a shoulder pad for custom handheld configurations.
The Wooden Camera 15mm Rod Clamp attaches to 15mm rods to add 1/4"-20 screw-holes to your camera rig. Among the variety of accessories that can be mounted to these screw-holes is Wooden Camera's QB Battery Back Plate. This plate comes in different versions, each designed to have a different type of battery plate and ultimately battery attached to it. With these attached, the QB Battery Back Plate can be mounted right onto the screw-holes of the Rod Clamp. The ability to attach so is especially useful when you have no way of mounting a battery directly onto your camera and as an alternative are looking for a way to get the battery near the camera (so you can connect the two).
The Battery Slide from Wooden Camera is an adjustable mounting system for V-Mount, Gold Mount, QRC Gold Mount, and RED/BLUESHAPE battery plates. Multiple rows of pass-through holes allow the attachment of rod clamps, cheese plates, and other accessories.
In order to adjust the plate's position, the user only needs to apply firm pressure to tilt it into place. Sliding the plate into position is facilitated by an adjustable thumbscrew. Both these movements make the plate ideal for adjusting counterbalance and transitioning from studio to handheld position.
Features
NATO Quick Release
The handle features an integrated NATO rail clamp that lets you slide onto any NATO compatible rail, not just the included one.
Rosette Based Rotating Grip
The handle position can be adjusted by loosening the top screw, rotating it into the desired position, and then re-tightening the top screw. This gives you a level of versatility you typically don't find in top handles.
Sideways 15mm Rod Clamp
The side rod opening lets you attach a 15mm rod perpendicular to your camera, great for attaching an optional monitor/EVF support bracket such as Wooden Camera's UVF Mount v2. A thumbscrew secures the rod in place.
Front/Rear Rod Openings
A forward facing 15mm rod opening and 19mm rear rod opening are available for attaching optional single rods, which can be used for mounting accessories such as focus motors. A pair of 1/4"-20 set screws are included to secure the rods in place via the threaded holes along the sides of the grip area.
Integrated Cold Shoe
A cold shoe built into the top of the handle lets you add on-camera lights, microphone shock mounts, or other shoe mount accessories.
Accessory Threads
1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes along the grip area of the handle are provided for attaching additional accessories.
Optional Front Rod Clamp
Two 1/4"-20 thread holes on the front of the handle let you attach an optional 15mm or 19mm rod clamp to the base of the handle.
