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
