The Zacuto RED EVF Recoil Shoulder Rig with Dual Trigger Grips is a shoulder rig designed to support RED DSMC2 camera bodies such as the Raven, Weapon, Epic Weapon, Scarlet Weapon, Monstro, Helium and Gemini. It is comprised of the Zacuto VCT Pro Baseplate, a RED Rod Riser, a RED Top Plate, Dual Shorty Trigger Grips, a Top Handle, and a 7.62cm Z-Rail. This shoulder rig follows in the Zacuto Recoil Rig philosophy of setting the balance point at the shoulder, placing the camera behind the shoulder and the focus, monitoring, and camera controls forward of the shoulder.

The VCT Pro Baseplate supports the camera and features 25cm of sliding, forward/back balance adjustment. It includes 15mm rods and rod clamps for rod-mounted accessories and a rod riser specifically designed to support a RED DSMC2 camera body, as well as comfortable gel shoulder padding. The VCT Pro also enables your rig to go from your shoulder to a tripod and back without removing accessories.

The RED Top Plate provides multiple 1/4"-20 mounting holes, built-in POGO connectors for a RED monitor and trigger equipment, and a 15mm rod port for mounting additional rod accessories.

The Dual Shorty Trigger Grips provide left and right wooden handgrips and feature 15mm rod ports for mounting to the VCT Pro baseplate. Locking levers allow you to easily adjust their arm length, angle, and rotation.

The Top Handle features a wooden handgrip, top Z-Rail, multiple 1/4"-20 mounting threads, and a cold shoe mount for additional accessory mounting. A 7.62cm Z-Rail is included to mount the Top Handle to the RED Top Plate.

With the Gratical Eye , Zacuto takes the highly regarded 0.61", 1280 x 1024 micro OLED panel found in their Gratical HD and packs into an EVF that weighs just 14 oz and fits into the palm of your hand. In order to keep the EVF small and compact, it features a round design and it equipped with only a single 3G-SDI input that supports up to 1080p60 video, a 2-pin LEMO power connector, and a USB port for firmware updates. Not content at being just a professional-grade EVF that produces natural looking images with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, the Gratical Eye is equipped with a FPGA dual core processor to support the full set of monitoring and image analysis features found on the larger Gratical HD, including LUT support, vectorscope and waveform displays, and peaking, which are controlled using a joystick-style button on the back of the unit. With its compact size and full feature set, the Gratical Eye is an EVF ideally suited for use with professional SDI cameras and rigs using external power solutions.

A versatile and adjustable means for attaching a rosette-mounted EVF to your camera, the Zacuto Axis Mini is an ENG-style mount that is designed to attach to the top of your camera setup and provide you with ample room for adjusting focus or working with large lenses. It attaches directly to rigs fitted with a 15mm rod port and then connects with EVFs, such as the Gratical HD, using a secure 1/4"-20 rosette mount, or can also be used with 1/4"-20 screw mount EVFs with the separate Quad Rail for mounting.

Once attached, the Axis Mini's adjustable design utilises four main pivoting points, which can spin a full 360° and are controlled using independent tension levers. With all levers unlocked, you can freely position the EVF at will using a single hand, or specific sections can be tightened down for fine-tuned adjustments on a single axis. Additionally, the articulation can be configured to work seamlessly with both shoulder-mounted rigs as well as for tripod-based shooting.

The Zacuto Z-Rail Axis Mount with 15mm Rod Port is an excellent choice for mounting your Axis Mini EVF Mount onto a camera outfitted with a Z-Rail. It works well with the Zacuto C200 and EVA top plate, and the rod clamp projects forward and up at a 45° angle so that the Axis Mini EVF mount is placed in the ideal working position.

The mount is made from anodised aluminium, with the aluminium providing a good balance between weight and strength and the anodising providing corrosion protection. Spring-loaded locking levers enable tightening or loosening of either the rod clamp or the Z-Rail clamp, even when you can't rotate the levers fully.
