Matthews CAM Tank Overview

The CAM Tank Mount from Matthews is used with all large format camera plates or directly mounts to any large or medium format camera equipped with 3/8"-16 mounting holes. It is designed for low shots, without taking away your ability to pan and tilt the camera. It is also used to achieve dutch angles when mounted to a fluid head, or shots designed to be pointed straight down off of a fluid head on a tripod or jib. The bottom of the plate has 17 strategically placed 3/8"-16 tapped holes spaced 1" apart, complying with Motion Picture Industry Standards.

The system is CNC machined out of 6061 T6 aluminum, stainless steel hardware. The pan bearing uses a machined polyoxymethylene, delrin disk, which self-lubricates and has an endurance rating 100x. The tilt system uses 4 premium NSK deep grooved ball bearings. Both pan and tilt functions come with brakes for lock off shots and camera safety.

Matthews CAM Tank Reviews

Great design and construction

Matthew’s is a proud brand with great products, people and service. This camtank is one of my favorite simple support tools for low angle photography. The ability to lock a frame precisely where the director likes it makes this my preferred tool for floor level shots. The smooth bearings and friction free pan makes operation possible as well allowing for a very versatile tool on studio builds, but this is worth bringing on most sets especially if they use a third camera consistently. I highly recommend this tool for unique and disciplined filmmaking.

Great process
