The Zacuto C300 Striker Camera Rig is an easily assembled lightweight stabilization rig for run and gun shooting with a Canon C300 camera. It includes a Gorilla baseplate that attaches to your camera with 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 screws and has 15mm threaded holes for mounting a follow focus, lens support or other accessories in front of the camera. This is not compatible with a matte box unless you have a height-adjustable matte box.
The included handgrip gives you an extra point of contact. Simply brace the included Gunstock against your shoulder, hold one hand on the handle and the other on your lens and shoot away! A tripod plate can be installed on the Gorilla Baseplate for quickly moving from handheld to tripod. A 15mm hole in the bottom allows you to attach the main vertical rod for the Striker Rig, and the rig can be freed from the Gorilla Baseplate by flipping the red lever. The Striker works best when using the eyepiece on the C300 camera.
NOTE: The C300 Gorilla Baseplate has a non-standard rod to lens height; only some adjustable matte boxes will work. The standard is 85mm. The lens of the Epic/Scarlet to center of 15mm rods on the Gorilla Baseplate is 106mm. The lens of the C300 to center of 15mm rods is 88mm. All lightweight spaced, rod-mounted follow focuses should be compatible.
