Zacuto

A simple gadget that should be in your camera bag- the NATO CUBE. 5 star ⭐️ review!

Slide the Cold Shoe to NATO Rail Cube into any shoe mount to get a bidirectional NATO rail mount. This handy adapter is ideal for mounting a MicroBOOM or another accessory on DSLR or mirrorless cameras and cages lacking a native NATO rail. A top screw helps lock this adapter onto the shoe mount.

It’s Labor Day weekend! 🏷️Let’s celebrate a long weekend with 25% off site wide, code: Labor25! Now’s the time to get your favorite gear for all those shoots coming up.

The Canon C400 cage includes a top plate and two side rails that mount to the VCT Pro. The side rails are optional and not required to use with the top plate.

The Top Plate has a built in Z-Rail to mount the Tactical Handle. The cage design maintains access to the hotshoe on the top rear of the camera for audio devices. It also has tapped holes to relocate Canon’s mic shock mount to the side of the cage. The cage has several bi-directional Z-Rail, integrated cold shoe slots in the rear, numerous anti rotation 1/4 20 and 3/8 16 tapped holes, and removable top 15mm rod clamps. The side rails are Z-Rail with Arri style rosettes, anti rotation 1/4 20 and 3/8 16 tapped holes.

Beat that summer sun glare with Z-Finders!! The original- the industry standard! Our Z-Finder viewfinders cut out extraneous light, act as a point of stability, include diopters to aid with any eyesight issues, and act as a focusing aid. We offer models for DSLRs, Canon C70, Canon C200, Canon C300, canon C400, Canon C500, Panasonic EVA, Sony FX6, FX9, FS5, FS7 and Sony Burano! An extra bonus, most of loupes are the exact same, the only thing that changes is the mounting frame for the cameras.

Alot of preorders for the MicroBOOM have shipped and reviews are coming in. Thanks Blake for the review! Who else has used it?? 🙋🏻‍♂️

“Game Changer for Solo creator.
I really enjoyed using the microBOOM when I was filming solo at an event. My go to is a wireless mic in some way shape or form. With the microBOOM, I was able to interview and film without needing to mic up a person or keep track of a small wireless transmitter. Being able to use this with my small microphone in a loud environment, and get really good audio was just what I was hoping I would get out of the microBOOM”

What’s that? It’s the Zacuto MicroBOOM 💥. The world’s first on-camera, internally cabled, audio boom pole designed for instantaneous interviewing. It is compatible with all cameras including mobile phones, mirrorless, camcorders, ENG or Cinema Cameras.

Easy to setup:
Attach any lightweight (less than 60 grams) 3.5mm microphone to the MicroBOOM via coldshoe.
Attach the MicroBOOM to your camera via NATO rail or add the optional CUBE at checkout to convert a coldshoe to NATO.
Extend and set the angle of the boom pole.
Tilt the mic to the correct position. Start capturing audio!

It’s not the solution for everything but definitely a tool that is useful in some situations. Quality sound is all about proximity, and the MicroBOOM allows you to get that boom sound without a boom operator. It gets the microphone in the right position instantly, all by yourself, and faster than using any other microphone solutions.

The build quality and aesthetic are are excellent. The nucleus handgrips can be removed and replaced with different trigger grips offered by the Zacuto.” - zacuto customer, Sean B.

Check out our new Canon C400 rig at booth at Cinegear. Show us your pics!!

Thanks for the love ❤️. We appreciate all the reviews and nice comments. We strive to produce high quality products that will last forever. We also try to make gear as universal as possible so you don’t have to keep buying gear as camera technology advances!

It’s here, introducing The new Canon C400! We have been lucky enough to work behind the scenes with Canon on a viewfinder and rig for this highly anticipated camera.

The C400 camera will make its debut appearance at Cinegear June 7-9th, 2024 at Warner Brothers Studio in Burbank California. If you are at Cinegear, stop by Canon booth 614 to check it out!

Zacuto Canon C400 Z-Finder
With the absence of a viewfinder, a trend that we are seeing more and more with cameras, Canon asked that we adapt our popular Z-Finder to work with the Canon C400. Luckily, the same Z-Finder we made back in 2010 for the Canon 5D works. If you are a proud owner of the legendary Zacuto Z-Finder Pro 2.5, this is the same Z-Finder. You can just buy the custom Canon C400 Z-Finder Frame. The customer frame allows you to quickly flip it up to use the screen and/or snap it off completely. There are two ways to mount this Z-Finder, 1) using the Canon C400 monitor mount with a Zacuto provided locking cap to support the weight or 2) use the custom C400 Rosette Mount with an Axis Micro or Axis Min for a more robust flexible mount. You can mount the Axis Micro or Mini on the Canon C400 handle or build out your rig further with Zacuto accessories, like the Canon C400 Cage, and Shoulder Mount.

Zacuto Canon C400 Recoil Rig
The Canon C400 Shoulder-mounted rig includes our VCT Pro baseplate, the Rosette Trigger Grip to relocate the C400 handgrip, the Canon C400 cage, the Canon C400 Z-Finder with rosette adapter and Axis Mini, and tactical handle. This is the ultimate configuration for shoulder mounting the Canon C400 utilizing the Canon C400 LCD screen with Z-Finder. Balanced, and easy to transition from shoulder, to handheld to tripod.

How do you rig your Sony Burano? Save 15% on all Zacuto shoulder rigs plus a free cable with purchase of Kameleon, until June 30th. Give it a try!

The Sony Burano Recoil Rig is a camera shoulder rig designed specifically for the Sony Burano camera. This is a Next Generation Recoil rig designed for optimal balance and comfort when shoulder mounted or on a tripod. With lenses and cameras being similar weights, the balance point is where the lens meets the camera body. In a shoulder mount rig, the balance point needs to be directly over your shoulder which puts the camera behind you. The Recoil rig adjusts for that balance point and relocates focus, monitoring and camera controls forward, creating a lighter, shorter and properly balanced rig.

Love this shot of the Kameleon Pro! Grab yourself a professional EVF to use on all your current and future cameras. 🎥 for limited time, free cable $160 value with purchase.
