The Ikan EV3 Flyweight Offset DSLR Shoulder Rig features the EV3 Quick Release Baseplate System for use with small DSLRs, mirrorless, and Micro Four Thirds cameras.
The EV3 Flyweight Offset Rig is designed to place the camera's LCD screen in the center of the camera operator's field of view. The offset design also makes it easy for camera operators to use optional viewfinder accessories. The EV3 baseplate system enables you to quickly and efficiently mount and dismount your camera—simply press one lever and the quick release button. The Anti-Rotation plate prevents your camera from rotating out of alignment.
The height of the EV3 baseplate can be adjusted to adapt to different cameras. Four 1/4"-20 and four 3/8"-16 threaded holes line the bottom of the tripod mount for various mounting options. The shoulder pad gives the EV3 Flyweight Rig a comfortable point of contact with the operator's chest, allowing the operator to get a better feel by pushing the rig against the body. Using a mesh-like grip texture, the new EV3 handles provide a strong grip for any hand.
Featuring solid metal construction and minimal gearbox play, the Axler Hammerhead Pro Follow Focus earns the "Pro" moniker. The knurled hand wheel rotates smoothly and has built-in hard stops for repeatable focus pulls. Alternatively, release the hard stops and mark your focus points on the marking disk for visual aid, visible from the operator and assistant positions. Camera assistants will also appreciate the presence of an ARRI standard accessory port for whips, cranks, and other focusing accessories
A 0.8 MOD drive gear is included for meshing with standard cinema lens gearing, or with the included lens gear which can be installed on DSLR or mirrorless camera lenses that don't already have gearing. With the quick release mechanism, the Hammerhead Pro can be easily installed on rigs that employ 15mm LWS rods without disrupting other mounted accessories, such as matte boxes or lens supports. This saves valuable time on set.
Smooth Focus Adjustment
The large knurled hand wheel on the Hammerhead Pro provides a sure grip and smooth focusing action. A small thumbscrew at the base of the gearbox can be tightened or loosened to adjust gearbox stiffness.
Adjustable Hard Stops
Easily repeat focus moves by setting the end stops of the focus move on the hand wheel itself. Release the stops to regain full rotation of the hand wheel, or to just reset them for your next shot.
Accommodates Multiple Lens Diameters
Release the bottom thumbscrew while the Hammerhead Pro is locked down on the rods to slide the hand wheel and gearbox to mesh with your lens. The sliding range can accommodate lenses ranging in 30-120mm in diameter.
Switchable Drive Gear
With shorter lenses, connecting the follow focus can be difficult if the lens gear is fixed. The Hammerhead Pro features a side-switchable drive gear, meaning the drive gear can be mounted on the side closer to the camera for working with short lenses commonly found on mirrorless cameras.
Accessory Port
At the center of the hand wheel is an ARRI standard accessory port for whips, cranks, and other accessories, either for the camera operator or an assistant.
