HDSLR "The Production Rig"

A quick iPhone shot of our full production rig with the Zeiss Compact Primes. Includes Arri FF, V-lock powering for the camera and all accessories and a HDMI to HD-SDI converter - no more dealing with unpracticle unreliable HDMI cables and monitors. The whole rig snaps on a tripod with no adjustment needed and the basic camera/lens/Z-finder unit can be easily removed for light weight use. Will post better photos when it's back in the office long enough to do so!

Don't just look at it and drool, book it and it can be yours! (for a limited time only :-)
