K.C. Capek, yes that is a Hurlbut Visuals Top Rod assembly. We make them custom.

Hey Shane, in the photo of the studio hand held rig what is and where can I get the top mounted rod assembly that looks like it is mounted on the hot shoe of the camera. We have a difficult shoot coming up in Costa Rica and I would really love to have that for motors, etc. Thanks for any info.

I’m thinking of picking up a hand held Kenyon Gyro for some landscape chopper shots. Looks like a Kenyon in the pics. Do you have any experience with these?

Chris Saul, The HV baseplate was built around the whole Panavision lens support. We engineered it together. Out system supports the lens at the camera mount, not with some crappy support that goes out on the rods that all the other manufacturers’ are making. We made a channel in a piece of aluminum that is attached to the PV mount and you slide the Panavision manual follow focus into. Just like how the Panavision film camera works.

Hi Shane,
I recently got my hands on a PV mount for the 5D and I learned about Really right stuff camera L brackets but I wanted to know how I can attach the follow focus and also if you know a company that builds lens support brackets when using the bigger lenses? Thanks!

Wow. It’s great to see this stuff in action. I’ve been very slowly warming to DSLR cameras and all your pictures of rigs shows the real appeal of them. Thanks!

Julie, have you tried the cage that Viewfactor has come out with. I used that to mount some car rigs. If it is a bumpy road there is nothing you can do. That is part of the process. Even when I am doing gyro stablized set-ups on my movies I search for days to find the right road that not only is visually stunning but smooth. I hope that helps.

Benjamin Miller, the Twixtor plug in is not a push and play plug in. You have to dust bust the twixtor, different configurations change the frame blending to best assist the specific shot. Well we do not have to worry about it anymore, right.
