IronFilm Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 CAME-TV has a new camera rig that just came out, comes with a big block at the bag (for powering, monitoring, and audio): https://www.came-tv.com/collections/came-terapin-rig/products/came-tv-terapin-rig-for-panasonic-gh4-and-gh5 Is it worth nearly six hundred bucks? (for the non-mattebox/FF version) Hmmmm.... dunno, but I guess if it makes the client impressed with your "big camera" (totally not a stills camera! ha) then I suppose so. Or if you actually need all the functionality there, then it can make a worthwhile value proposition to consider vs buying the components individually yourself and building it up.

Cinegain Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Reminds me of the https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hannahradcliff/loggers-lunchbox . Pretty neat idea though for those who need that kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurtlandPhoto Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It seems these rigs are getting a fair bit of attention lately. Here's a review I made of the ASXMOV Scorpion. It's the exact same rig, just from another brand. Cinegain and newfoundmass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzynormal Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'd only get one if I was constantly doing corporate stuff and needed to make the client feel like they were getting their money's worth. That's a big "if," but I've been there. I hired a guy with a GH4 a few years back simply because he could make it look fancy. Matte box! Rails! Oooooooooo.

UncleBobsPhotography Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It seems like a bit of a cable mess in my opinion. How does tall people feel about shoulderrigs? I often end up feeling like I'm filming from above when I'm using a shoulder rig like that, so I've assembled one where the camera is slightly lower than my shoulder.

Im a bit taller than average (watch my vlogs, I'm no Curtis Judd, but still you'll never see anyone taller than me in them), & this is one of th reasons I rarely use a shoulder rig. And I'd like to buy an easyrig! So I can have easy control over the camera height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfoundmass Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Caleb Pike made something like this. I feel like you could, pretty easily and much more affordably, make your own set up that does pretty much the same thing.
