Matthews 415177 Overview

The Freedom Car Mount System from Matthews Studio Equipment allows you to mount a heavier cinema camera on a car, truck, boat, or other nonporous surfaces. It supports loads up to 80 lb and features an array of Matthews grip components to provide the necessary materials for a secure car rig.
Matthews has assembled this mounting hardware kit as an expandable platform for crafting complex but safe vehicle-based camera rigs. The lynchpin of the Freedom system is a 10" vacuum cup equipped with a 360° rotating grip head. This grip head then accepts two parallel Matthews Ricky Rods, modular 5/8" rods with 1/2"-13 threads to accommodate rigs large and small; eight 10" pieces and two right angle segments of Ricky Rod are included. From there, use the additional vacuum cups and grip heads to precisely position the swivel head camera mount, which features a standard hole pattern with holes and slots to mount cameras directly or using your dovetail slide plate. All the Freedom Car Mount system grip heads carry Matthews's standard large and easy-to-grip T-handles.

This Car Mount is the first car mount I have used and have to say it's very easy to use. Pros - Can set up in multiple angles as long as you have a flat surface. The suction cups are super strong. Tested it out at 110km/hr and worked perfect. Scary, but it was rock solid. The video isn't shaky like up and down, just a slight vibration shake from the road. Looks very natural. You can honestly put any camera or any rig set up on it. It will take 80 pounds. The video on how it sets it up is awesome. Learned a lot and applied it to different angles. Once you know how to set it up you could be rolling in 10 minutes or less. (No you do not have to put plastic on your car. We put it on a 67 Mustang and it's fine without protection) Cons - This things doesn't come with a bag or case. Like why give 20 separate parts and not give someone a bag or case? Luckily I had one that I got from somewhere else to put all the parts inside. For certain shots you have to puzzle it together to figure out how to rig it on your car. Not necessarily a con, but sometimes you can't think. For the price and cost it's well worth the investment. One of the best things you could buy for any car shooting.

Why does the one picture with all the parts show more parts than you will receive? There are two gobo heads shown that are not listed in the "In the Box" section.
Asked by: James
The Kit comes with two 2.5" grip heads attached to Ricky Rods and two loose 2.5" Quick Heads. The photo is correct, the "In The Box" is missing the two 2.5" grip heads.
