Canon 5D Mark II and Redrock DSLR Cinema

Redrock Micro has released a cinema rig for video capable DSLR cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D90. The Redrock baseplate and rails system allows you to mount a follow focus for cine like focus pulling and a mattebox for blocking light and holding filters. The follow focus system comes with geared rings you place round your lenses and enables you to change focus without reaching around to the front of the camera.

John Saunders has posted a bunch of close up pictures of how the Redrock system integrates with the Canon 5D Mark II: www.redrockmicro.com/forum/

Here is a video of Brian Valenti at NAB 2009 showing off the Redrock DSLR rig:

The Nikon D90 and the Redrock DSLR setup were used to film a Doug Burr music video. This is a great behind the scenes video from that shoot.
