    Looks Great!
    Going to be getting a 5DM2 soon, so really been thinking about budgeting for one of these kits. Thanks for the build info.
    Just wish we could get full control from the grip, for camera functions.
    Gonna keep my eyes open for that one. :)

    Steve, thanks for the update! Gorilla set-ups look like a great option.

    I know you are more plugged into the proper info channels- Have you heard of anyone, Canon or otherwise, coming up with a control module you plug into the camera that would act as a remote/grip for the shutter release, electronic menu control, etc, etc?

    I'm thinking similar to the 'Scarlet' hand-grip camera controller "Redhandle".
  • Steve Weiss plus 6 months ago
    We've talked about it. I don't think anything exists because the primary functions of the camera are photography and the remote only deals with this. It's a bit of a drag but these cameras are far from perfect for shooting video. We will put up with a lot for shallow DOF and a large sensor.

    I'm assuming Canon will completely upgrade or re-configure a sister-system based on this camera (Balanced DSLR/Video) from the interest I've seen in shooting video. We'll see what they come up with to do battle with "Scarlet".

    looking great, the view finder, the shoulder pad, the gunstock... Zacuto quality... the mounting looks official... you need such a system to balance this small camera and be able to operate your shots smoothly... no doubt...
    But I am afraid that you cannot shoot this way with the canon 5D2. I've been working with this camera for 5 month now. around 400 hrs... and there is no way that you can shoot with your hands off it... your right hand needs to be full time on the grip hand of the camera. starting from rec to lock and to control your aperture...
    the Zacuto Rig does look like the business... I would love to shoot this way... but with this camera I'm afraid it still not possible...

  • Check out the DSLR Gorilla kits:
    zacutoimages.com/p408746338/h636b438#h1a9614f2 look at pictures 1-20, here is the Rapid Fire: store.zacuto.com/DSLR-Rapid-Fire.html The Rapid Fire has a list price of $580, that's a 1/4 of the cost of the camera body.

  • is this works with my Nikon D3?
  • Scott Lynch plus 4 months ago
    It will work with the D3, although I believe you can't use the Manfrotto Quick Release Plate. That plate in combination with the D3 body would put the rods to low to use a matte box properly.
