Digital Juice Master Rig Kit

The Master Rig Kit from Digital Juice is a pro-level camera rig that keeps your camera stable and prevents wobble and skew effects. The rig helps you produce smooth rack focus when focusing manually on the run. It also makes it easier to flag your camera, and to add & adjust multiple filters. The Master Rig is a kit comprised of three main components: the Matte Box PRO, the Follow Focus PRO, and the 15mm rod system for mounting both the camera and these PRO accessories. Altogether, the kit includes 40 items, which can be configured in various ways to meet your needs. There are multiple industry standard 1/4-20" threaded attachment points for accommodating mounting audio recorders, microphones, monitors, and other relevant gear. The master rig can be configured as a simple lightweight shoulder rig for run-and-gun style shooting, as a full studio rig for short or feature films, or for anything in-between.

Every aspect of the Master Rig can be configured to your exact shooting requirements. Every part of the shoulder mount system can be adjusted to your body size and position while the Matte Box PRO, Follow Focus PRO, and camera plate components can be adjusted to accept a wide variety of cameras, lenses, and accessories.

The Matte Box PRO included with the Master Rig has detachable top and side-wing flags (with bayonets to lock the flags in tightly) as well as two universal 360-degree rotating filter stages and two filter trays that support both 4 x 4" and 4 x 5.65" filter sizes. Its built-in swing-away arm makes changing lenses a breeze. Included rubber donuts help stop light leaks by connecting your lens to the matte box.

The Follow Focus PRO is a gear-driven follow focus device which allows for repeatable highly accurate focus pulls. It has a 15mm rod quick-mount adapter, three adjustable lens gear belts, a reversible follow focus drive gear to accommodate different length lenses, and a wet-erase-type china wheel allowing you to mark accurate start and end points for your focus pulls. Behind the china wheel, adjustable A-B hard stops help protect your lens from overcranking and provide quick repeatable racking between two points. The follow focus unit is also accompanied by a 16" focus whip, a 10-inch focus whip, and a focus crank.

The Master Rig's cage with 15mm rod system has a base plate assembly consisting of two pieces. The height adjustable base plate adapter has standard threaded bottom holes so that you can attach it easily to any tripod. The quick-release plate has both 1/4-20" and 3/8-16" tie-downs and can be attached from the front or rear of the base plate adapter.

All of the components of the Master Rig fit into the included deluxe rolling case. The case has an aluminum exterior, wheels, two carry handles, and two-stage telescoping handles for rolling. The interior of the case features one-inch custom form-fitted foam padding to keep the pieces from moving or damaging each other. The case closes with two locking latches (keys included) to keep your rig safe and secure.
