CPM Filmtools DSLR Cage Version 2
Sunday, June 27, 2010 at 8:42AM So after a LOT of emails from people asking me about my first video going through my original DSLR Rig, I have been doing a fair bit of work upgrading. The main change was that I found I really needed a top handle. After looking at all the available options from RedRock, Jag35 etc. I settled on the CPM FilmTools DSLR Cage. I liked the fact that it was lightweight (carbon fibre) I could use it with my existing parts and it was reasonably priced. To that I have also added a swing away mattebox,, basically I just modified the exisiting ProAim Mattebox with a set of RedRock mini carbon fibre rods and a couple of mounting blocks. Also for my LCDVF which was not really attaching with the strength I felt I needed I have modified a bracket to hold that in place as well. Anyway, less talky, more showy, here is a rather long video going through all the parts, and for those who email me on a daily basis asking abotu the different parts that make up my rigs, I have added a list of links after the video.
