Movcam Anti-Skid Handgrip

Perfect for a compact & well balanced BMCC ENG/Doco' rig

This is exactly what I needed to complete my BMCC-ENG rig, which is built on the Tilta BS-T03. To complete the package I really needed a handle that I could attach to rig on the front right side 15mm rod, that was placed it close to the lens axis and near my body, as this would allow me to both hold the camera steady with my right arm whist have my upper arm in a position against my chest to make it comfortable to hold the rig for extended periods. My left hand is then completely free to operate focus, zoom and aperture rings on my lenses (note that I'm not using ENG lenses with this rig). This set up works perfectly, and it is very compact. But more importantly, it is a properly balanced system when sitting on the shoulder - unlike many BMCC rigs available which feature the two outboard front-facing handles with the shoulder pad attached to the rear rods making them way too front heavy and difficult to hold for extended periods. I'm also using a LanParte LANC Controller for Blackmagic cameras (B&H # LANC01) on the handle to control the camera recording function. The Tilta BS-T03 quick-release baseplate allows me to attach/detach the camera rig quickly from my heavy-duty tripod via the use of a VCT-U14 tripod plate adapter on the tripod head. I can't recommend this setup highly enough. This beats the other style rigs hands down, ... literally as well as figuratively.
