Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D90: Accessorized for Video
Written by Eric on October 24th, 2008 | 7 Comments
It was only a matter of time until some industrious company stepped in and filled this niche. Redrock Micro “Redrock Micro designs and sells a line of high quality cinema accessories for independent filmmakers, film educators and students, and budget-conscious moviemakers” and has just upped the ante for the mainstay of DSLR accessory makers that have been resting on their fat laurels.
The above contraption is a video platform designed to the specs and functionalities of our two video-capable DSLRs, the Canon 5D Mark II and the Nikon D90. So, what’s it do?
Redrock accessories for video DSLRs transform video DSLRs into production-ready cinema solutions by providing:
- Rock-solid 15mm support system
- Follow focus for accurate and repeatable focusing
- Swing-away mattebox for light management and easy access to changing lenses
- Shoulder mount and handgrips for steady handheld use
- Support cage for enhanced stability and low angle shot

How do you look through the viewfinder?

@John Wall: You’re kidding right? You don’t look through the viewfinder for video with a dslr since the mirror is in the way. You look at the rear lcd or an external monitor.

isn’t this a bit overkill? do you really need all those metal tubes? what’s missing is the eyepiece adapter/extender with diopter.
