The C300 Mark II EVF Recoil Rig from Zacuto lets you extend your Canon grip and attach your Gratical EVF. The rig includes the VCT Pro Baseplate, C300 Mark II Helmet Kit, and Zgrip Relocator. A Zacuto Axis Mini is also required for attaching the EVF.
The VCT Pro Baseplate features a built-in ergonomic shoulder pad, 10" sliding track, extra space for accessories in front, VCT14-compatible V-wedge, and much more.
The Helmet Kit attaches directly on top of the C300 Mark II and offers a wooden top handle, 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes, and two cold shoes. It also has a 15mm rod port where the optional axis mini attaches into. It's also forward/backward adjustable along a Z-rail.
The Zgrip Relocator has an integrated cable that connects to the camera and enables trigger or on/off control and lens aperture control. It also has a programmable function button for waveform, zebras, 1 to 1 zoom, menu, and more.
With built-in ergonomic shoulder pad, 10" sliding track, extra space for accessories in front, VCT14-compatible V-wedge, red buttons and levers all around, and much more, this is the stylish VCT Pro Baseplate from Zacuto. Use it with all types of cameras, from DSLRs to larger models, like the Alexa.
A section of the baseplate extends out beyond the 15mm LWS rod adapter in front. With the rod adapter thus set back, you have additional space to mount accessories under the camera lens, allowing you to position the camera further back on the plate, keeping the balance point of your rig directly over your shoulder. (The rod adapter is vertically adjustable 1", and has to be in a raised position to allow for accessories to be mounted in the additional space. Also, a 1.8" riser for the rod adapter is optionally available for RED cameras by special order from Zacuto.) Also, on the bottom of the section that protrudes out is where the V-wedge is. There is also a 15mm LWS rod adapter on the rear.
The VCT Pro Baseplate features a 10" sliding track, providing the space to optimally adjust balance after every lens change. Moreover, the included red camera plate can be loosened by a spring-loaded lever instead of a screw, so you can make adjustments quickly and easily. To fully release and remove the plate (and camera), just press a red button on the side of the baseplate and slide the plate out. The rod ports also have spring-loaded levers.
An ARRI M6 rosette is available on the front for attaching accessories and grips, and there are also three 1/4"-20 threaded holes on the side providing additional mounting options. 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 tripod mount holes are available on the bottom to use instead of the V-wedge. The shoulder pad runs pretty much along the entire length as well as width of the baseplate, and is made of gel polymer. Two 6.5" 15mm rods are included. One 1/4"-20 and one 3/8"-16 screw are supplied for the camera plate. The VCT Pro Baseplate is made in the USA.

The Zacuto Zgrip Relocator is a combination of the Grip Relocator for the Canon Cinema EOS C100/300/500 Cameras and Zgrip Z-Mount Zwivel 2. It comes with a 4.5" rod that is attached to one of the Zwivel 2's ports; the other port can be used to attach any 15mm rod. The ports can be rotated up to 365° using pin locking mechanism, allowing you to change the angle between the two 15mm rods at set points. In order to change the angle of the rods, you simply have to loosen either of the levers and the internal spring separates the ports for you to adjust them to the desired angle.
The Grip Relocator for the C100/300/500 Cameras features a 24" cable that connects to the port on your camera. Once it is plugged in, you get trigger or on/off control, lens aperture control, and a programmable function button that can be set to a number of things including waveform, 1-to-1 zoom, zebras, my menu, and many other functions. The removable grips that come with the C100/300 cameras attach directly to the Grip Relocator's handle.
