The Zacuto C100 Mark II EVF Recoil is a shoulder-mounted rig designed specifically for the Canon C100 Mark II. It features a VCT Universal baseplate, a C100 Mark II Helmet, and a Zgrip Relocator. The Helmet allows for a secure connection between the camera body and the Canon top handle while also providing a 15mm rod port for the optional Axis Mini and multiple 1/4"-20 screw holes for mounting accessories. The Zgrip Relocator re-positions the camera's handgrip for comfortable shooting and camera control.
The shoulder rig is designed for optimal balance and comfort when shoulder-mounted or on a tripod, without the need for heavy counterweights. Since modern lenses and cameras are similar weights, the balance point is often where the lens meets the camera body. Zacuto's Recoil rigs place the balance directly over your shoulder, relocating focus, monitoring, and camera controls forward, and creating a lighter and shorter rig.
The VCT Universal baseplate features an integrated, curved shoulder pad for comfortable shoulder-mounted shooting and a V-wedge tripod connector for interfacing with V-lock tripod plates. The baseplate also provides 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 screw options and includes removable 165 mm long 15mm rods with internal threading for adding optional extensions. The C100 Mark II Helmet attaches via one screw on top and one on the side, replacing the film plane screw on the left side of the camera. The 127 mm Z-rail screws to the top of the Helmet and features a rear 15mm rod port, useful for attaching an optional EVF support arm, such as the Axis Mini.
