The 7d outfitted to shoot HD video for our film 'Sea Legs' in 2009.
A monitor and V-lock battery were attached later.
This is a cheaper Indian rig from ebay. And was mostly good despite a few issues.
7d extended over the side of the rails just enough to change batteries.
Issues for those interested:
- Matte box too tight to safely allow thick 4x4 filter glass (lightly scratched one)
- Pin on the follow focus broke off
- Follow focus sits a bit iffy sometimes and can be difficult to tighten/move around.
- Depending on positioning of parts/type of lens, hand grips couldn't go back far enough some times.
All easy to get around though.

The Scorpion rig is the ultimate solution to DSLR shoulder mounted shooting with an EVF. At the center of the Scorpion is our highly adjustable DSLR Baseplate, which allows you to mount any DSLR to the rig and mount your rig onto a tripod. The baseplate attaches to your tripod using the standard tripod plate screws; (2) 1/4” 20 and (1) 3/8” 16. You can also easily quick release your camera from the rig by turning the red knob on the side of the baseplate and pulling up on your camera. This unique feature allows you to quickly switch between using the camera on its own or as part of your rig. Our new curved form-fitting Akton Polymer shoulder pad connects to the back of the baseplate via two 2” M/F rods. The rods screw into the back of the DSLR baseplate and connect to the front of the shoulder pad via 15mm quick release ports, making the switch from shoulder mount to tripod use quick and easy. The Scorpion Shoulder Assembly also features an innovative ball joint built into the front of the shoulder pad. This allows the entire shoulder pad assembly to articulate in multiple directions so shooters can angle it to fit their body for individual comfort. This should be done with one hand while the kit is on your shoulder. The ball joint is released and secured by the red top lever. The Scorpion can be used on your left or right shoulder. The Scorpion shoulder assembly also has a built in top handle for placing and removing it from your shoulder, low mode shooting and easy carrying. The handle can be positioned up or set down into the shoulder pad for storage with the turn of a Zacuto quick release lever. The Scorpion kit is finished off with a 7lb Z-lite counterbalance and Zgrips V3 with 4.5” rods. With the shoulder pad and counterbalance weight coming directly off of the back of the baseplate, the rig is perfectly in-line with the camera and ready to be used with one of our EVFs or an on-board monitor for traditional ENG style shooting. You can mount your EVF or monitor to the side of the rig using the included EVF mount.

Our DOF Indie kit is ideal for the cinematographer shooting with a DOF (depth of field) 35mm lens adapter such as a Letus35, Brevis, MovieTube, P+S Tecnik, and/or RedRock Micro, on a tripod, dolly or Steadicam. The DOF adapter allows you to use Nikon, Canon or Zeiss still lenses and achieve the same shallow DOF as a 35mm motion picture film.
Our DOF Indie kit takes our DOF Cine kit a step further by allowing the entire rig to be used shoulder-mounted. The Indie Kit includes all of the mounting equipment needed for the independent filmmaker – you can mount a matte box, follow focus, wireless microphone receiver and external monitor. The mount behind the shoulder pad will hold batteries to power the monitor and provide a counter balance weight to offset the camera and accessories in front. The rig can be easily balanced with a few quick adjustments and gives smaller 1/3” or ½” cameras the stability of a larger shoulder mounted camera.
Zacuto’s baseplate kits are universal and quick-releasable; they can be used with any 15mm lightweight accessories, follow focuses & matte boxes. The kits are designed to be use with current and future models of cameras & camcorders such as the: Panasonic HVX200a, DVX100a/b, Canon XL-H1, XL2, GL2, XH-A1 Sony XDCAM EX1, EX3, SO-HVR-Z1U, VX2000, PD-150, PD-170, JVC GY-HD100U, HD200U, HD250U, Silicon Imaging SI2K, RED ONE, and many more.
Designed and manufactured by Zacuto using the highest quality materials to extreme tolerances. Made in the USA. Zacuto lifetime warranty.

Sometimes when shooting handheld or shouldermount, you want the benefits of two-handed stability but still be able to pull focus. By rotating one of your redrock handgrips upwards so it sits beneath the follow focus, you can add stabilization with the palm of your hand while reaching up with your fingers to control focus with the microFollowFocus. Great tip!

The Stinger Plus rig is an in-line system best used on long shooting days. It features our Studio Baseplate for Canon C100-C300-C500 Cameras which attaches to the camera with 3/8” 16 and ¼” 20 screws. This baseplate features a pair of 15mm rods that are 12” long running through the length of the baseplate. You can quickly reposition the rods for various lens lengths by loosening the 2 levers, one on each side of the baseplate. On each side of the baseplate there is also a set of 15mm lightweight spaced holes. The side holes take 15mm female rods that are locked via an Allen screw. This gives users a virtually unlimited amount of mounting options. The side holes can be used for an EVF, Zacuto articulating arms, rods and more. The baseplate has standard ¼” 20 and 3/8” 16 holes on the bottom for mounting the rig onto a tripod.
The Stinger Plus differs from the Stinger by including a Zwiss Plate instead of a Z-Lite weight. The Zwiss Plate allows you attach external recorders and professional batteries such asV-mount style or 3-stud gold mount. This is particularly useful for Canon C500 users. The professional batteries and/or recorder act as a counterbalance to balance your rig. The Stinger Plus also comes with one Wireless Plate Proattached to the side of the Zwiss plate to hold wireless mic receivers, small recorders, etc.. There is room for one extra Wireless Plate Pro. When sitting on a tripod, the Zwiss Plate can mount from the rod ports on the side of the baseplate (via two short female/female rods, not included) for better balance.
The Zwiss plate has been tested with the following recorders- Onboard S, Ki Pro Quad. The Gemini 4:4:4, or any other ¼ 20” accessory, can be attached with anarticulating arm coming from the side of the baseplate, attached to a rod, or attached to an empty rod port on the Zwiss Plate.
This rig can be used on your left or right shoulder. With the shoulder pad and Zwiss plate coming directly off of the back of the baseplate, the rig is perfectly in-line and ready to be used with one of our EVFs for traditional ENG style shooting. You can mount your EVF to the side of the rig using our EVF Standard Mount. This rig is compatible with any 15mm accessories. The Z-Focus would be a great add on accessory if you are looking for a follow focus. Our Grip Relocator, which relocates the Canon C100 & C300 grip to our handgrip, can be attached easily and quickly.*
* The Grip Relocator can also be used with the C500. However, the C500 camera does not come with the Canon Grip. You must purchase that separately from Canon.

Our new curved form-fitting Akton Polymer shoulder pad connects to the back of the baseplate via two 2” M/F rods. The rods screw into the back of the DSLR baseplate and connect to the front of the shoulder pad via 15mm quick release ports, making the switch from shoulder mount to tripod use quick and easy. The Scorpion Shoulder Assembly also features an innovative ball joint built into the front of the shoulder pad. This allows the entire shoulder pad assembly to articulate in multiple directions so shooters can angle it to fit their body for individual comfort. This should be done with one hand while the kit is on your shoulder. The ball joint is released and secured by the red top lever. The Scorpion can be used on your left or right shoulder. The Scorpion shoulder assembly also has a built in top handle for placing and removing it from your shoulder, low mode shooting and easy carrying. The handle can be positioned up or set down into the shoulder pad for storage with the turn of a Zacuto quick release lever. The Scorpion kit is finished off with a 7lb Z-lite counterbalance and Zgrips V3 with 4.5” rods. With the shoulder pad and counterbalance weight coming directly off of the back of the baseplate, the rig is perfectly in-line with the camera and ready to be used with one of our EVFs or an on-board monitor for traditional ENG style shooting. You can mount your EVF or monitor to the side of the rig using the included EVF mount. Scorpion Includes:-DSLR Baseplate with (2) sets of 3.5" M/F Rods-Scorpion Shoulder Assembly-Zgrips V3 with 4.5" Rods-Z-Lite Double-EVF Scorpion Mount
The Stinger Plus rig is an in-line system best used on long shooting days. It features our Studio Baseplate for Canon C100-C300-C500 Cameras which attaches to the camera with 3/8” 16 and ¼” 20 screws. This baseplate features a pair of 15mm rods that are 12” long running through the length of the baseplate. You can quickly reposition the rods for various lens lengths by loosening the 2 levers, one on each side of the baseplate. On each side of the baseplate there is also a set of 15mm lightweight spaced holes. The side holes take 15mm female rods that are locked via an Allen screw. This gives users a virtually unlimited amount of mounting options. The side holes can be used for an EVF, Zacuto articulating arms, rods and more. The baseplate has standard ¼” 20 and 3/8” 16 holes on the bottom for mounting the rig onto a tripod.
The Stinger Plus differs from the Stinger by including a Zwiss Plate instead of a Z-Lite weight. The Zwiss Plate allows you attach external recorders and professional batteries such asV-mount style or 3-stud gold mount. This is particularly useful for Canon C500 users. The professional batteries and/or recorder act as a counterbalance to balance your rig. The Stinger Plus also comes with one Wireless Plate Proattached to the side of the Zwiss plate to hold wireless mic receivers, small recorders, etc.. There is room for one extra Wireless Plate Pro. When sitting on a tripod, the Zwiss Plate can mount from the rod ports on the side of the baseplate (via two short female/female rods, not included) for better balance.
The Zwiss plate has been tested with the following recorders- Onboard S, Ki Pro Quad. The Gemini 4:4:4, or any other ¼ 20” accessory, can be attached with anarticulating arm coming from the side of the baseplate, attached to a rod, or attached to an empty rod port on the Zwiss Plate.
This rig can be used on your left or right shoulder. With the shoulder pad and Zwiss plate coming directly off of the back of the baseplate, the rig is perfectly in-line and ready to be used with one of our EVFs for traditional ENG style shooting. You can mount your EVF to the side of the rig using our EVF Standard Mount. This rig is compatible with any 15mm accessories. The Z-Focus would be a great add on accessory if you are looking for a follow focus. Our Grip Relocator, which relocates the Canon C100 & C300 grip to our handgrip, can be attached easily and quickly.*
* The Grip Relocator can also be used with the C500. However, the C500 camera does not come with the Canon Grip. You must purchase that separately from Canon.
Our Cine kit is ideal for the cinematographer shooting film style on a tripod, dolly or Steadicam. Zacuto was the first to design a camera package using rods behind the camera for mounting and counterbalance. The mount behind the camcorder holds batteries to power the monitor and accessories and provide a counterbalance to offset the weight of the camera and accessories. The Zamerican arm uses Zacuto Z-Release technology to quickly release the monitor or hard drive to make setup and location moves quick and easy. Attach your wireless microphone receiver, down-converters or video transmitters to the wireless plate and you are ready to shoot!
Zacuto's baseplate kits are universal and quick-releasable; they can be used with any 15mm lightweight accessories, follow focuses & matte boxes. The kits are designed to be use with current and future models of cameras & camcorders such as the: Panasonic HVX200a, DVX100a/b, Canon XL-H1, XL2, GL2, XH-A1 Sony XDCAM EX1, EX3, SO-HVR-Z1U, VX2000, PD-150, PD-170, JVC GY-HD100U, HD200U, HD250U, Silicon Imaging SI2K, RED ONE, and many more.

Sometimes when shooting handheld or shouldermount, you want the benefits of two-handed stability but still be able to pull focus. By rotating one of your redrock handgrips upwards so it sits beneath the follow focus, you can add stabilization with the palm of your hand while reaching up with your fingers to control focus with the microFollowFocus. Great tip!
