Zacuto Canon C300 Mark III & C500 MII Z-Finder Recoil Pro

With built-in ergonomic shoulder pad, 10" sliding track, extra space for accessories in front, VCT14-compatible V-wedge, red buttons and levers all around, and much more, this is the stylish VCT Pro Baseplate from Zacuto. Use it with all types of cameras, from DSLRs to larger models, like the Alexa.

A section of the baseplate extends out beyond the 15mm LWS rod adapter in front. With the rod adapter thus set back, you have additional space to mount accessories under the camera lens, allowing you to position the camera further back on the plate, keeping the balance point of your rig directly over your shoulder. (The rod adapter is vertically adjustable 1", and has to be in a raised position to allow for accessories to be mounted in the additional space. Also, a 1.8" riser for the rod adapter is optionally available for RED cameras by special order from Zacuto.) Also, on the bottom of the section that protrudes out is where the V-wedge is. There is also a 15mm LWS rod adapter on the rear.

The VCT Pro Baseplate features a 10" sliding track, providing the space to optimally adjust balance after every lens change. Moreover, the included red camera plate can be loosened by a spring-loaded lever instead of a screw, so you can make adjustments quickly and easily. To fully release and remove the plate (and camera), just press a red button on the side of the baseplate and slide the plate out. The rod ports also have spring-loaded levers.

An ARRI M6 rosette is available on the front for attaching accessories and grips, and there are also three 1/4"-20 threaded holes on the side providing additional mounting options. 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 tripod mount holes are available on the bottom to use instead of the V-wedge. The shoulder pad runs pretty much along the entire length as well as width of the baseplate, and is made of gel polymer. Two 6.5" 15mm rods are included. One 1/4"-20 and one 3/8"-16 screw are supplied for the camera plate. The VCT Pro Baseplate is made in the USA.

The Zacuto Rosette Trigger Grip is an adjustable grip relocator for ARRI rosette-mount camera or lens grips. It's designed to attach to camera supports offering an ARRI rosette, including the Zacuto VCT Pro baseplate. The entire unit can be rotated a full 360° at the quick press of a lever, and the component that holds your grip can be adjusted forward and backward with the press of another lever. Unlike with standard handgrips, these levers don't need to be unscrewed and can just be pressed on the fly. The entire unit can also be adjusted in length by loosening another lever.

The dedicated Canon C500 Mark II & C300 Mark III Top Plate from Zacuto attaches to the top of your C500 Mark II or C300 Mark III camera body. It features an integrated Z-Rail that enables you to slide an attached handle forward and backward for improved balance. This plate incorporates a single 15mm rod bracket and a grooved mount for the camera's LCD.

The top plate also features multiple 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 threads, as well as ARRI-style anti-twist mounts for attaching accessories.

Add a versatile handle to your camera rig or cage with the Tactical Handle from Zacuto, which features a slim, adjustable design that allows you to use it as a top handle or side handgrip. It features a built-in Z-Rail/NATO-type rail on top, a shoe mount, and multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads that enable you to mount a variety of accessories. Its grip features finger grooves and is lined with wood for a smooth, comfortable feel.

The Tactical Handle mounts onto any Z-Rail/NATO rail, and the Z-Rail jaw clamp can be twisted and oriented in multiple ways to work on horizontal or vertical Z-Rails. The spring-loaded locking lever enables tightening or loosening of the joint, so it can be reconfigured as a top or side handle. The handle is suitable for use with small cameras such as the Panasonic GH5 Mark II.

Attach a rosette-mounted EVF to your camera or rig with the Axis Micro from Zacuto. This adjustable mounting arm, slightly more compact than its big sister the Axis Mini, is designed to attach to the top of your camera setup using its micro 15mm rod to 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 mounts EVFs, such as the ACT EVF Pro or Gratical HD, using its secure 1/4"-20 rosette.

The Canon C500 Mark II & C300 Mark III Z-Finder from Zacuto is an optical viewfinder that uses 1.8x magnification to turn your camera's LCD monitor into a clear, easy-to-focus viewfinder. Designed specifically for use with the Canon LM-V2 4.3" LCD, the Z-Finder features a flip-up design and a diopter wheel for focusing. It includes two extender frames for farsighted use and can be used with separately available drop-in diopters for further correction. This finder's large, light-proof eyecup also increases the stability of your handheld footage by adding a point of contact between the camera and your eye.

The Z-Finder uses a foam-padded sleeve to slide over the LM-V2 4.3" LCD and mounts via your camera's Canon LA-V2 support arm and the included Zacuto mount. A built-in aluminum sun mask protects your LCD screen from sunlight. One installed and one additional Anti-Fog disks keep your view clear in humid or cold environments.
