Dot Line Magic Rig V1 for HDSLR Cameras
Key Features
  • Steadies DSLR Video
  • Gunstock & Handgrip
  • All-Metal Construction
  • Adjustable Components
The Dot Line Magic Rig V1 for HDSLR Cameras is a lightweight support rig for a DSLR camera or compact camcorder. With a height-adjustable baseplate and a quick-release plate with a 1/4"-20 stud, the Magic Rig V1 will accommodate most cameras.

Providing two points of contact for one-armed operation, the Magic Rig V1 is ideal for shooting video with small cameras. The operator's one hand holds the grip as the gunstock steadies the rig against the chest or bicep; meanwhile the other hand is free for adjusting zoom & focus, changing camera settings, and triggering recording. The result is steady video and comfortable operation over long periods of time.

The camera baseplate is offset from the hand grip and gunstock, so you can view your camera's LCD screen with a natural, forward-looking sight line. With thumbscrews throughout, you can adjust the positioning of just about any component so you can suit your specific camera, body type, and operating style.

In addition, the rig's rods are industry-standard 15mm size, which means the V1 is a modular rig that you can reconfigure endlessly, adding or substituting components to your heart's desire. The all-metal Magic Rig is durable yet lightweight at 1.6 lb.

Dot Line DL-V1 Reviews

Great for the price and traveling on the go!

I think the Magic rig is extremely effective, especially for its price. If you have a Mid-to small size Dslr the Magic rig is perfect for the job. its light, compact and can even fit in a small camera bag. If you shoot Video in NYC this is a must. My only concern is the release plate. it does tend to get loose easily, but if you buy a separate quick release plate you should be Golden.

It's a great accessory!

I say it's a great accessory because it's great to use with the rails you already own. If you remove their baseplate section, throw it away and attach your existing camera rails to it, it's fantastic! There are plenty of inexpensive starter kits out there that come with a pair of rails and a camera/tripod mount. Order them at the same time and you'll have a great run-and-gun kit that you still made out like a bandit on.

question

I have the Magic Rig already. I would just like to know where I can find a new QR plate for it? I would like to swap cameras faster when I need to.
Asked by: Chris
Unfortunately we do not currently sell this quick release plate separately, however, any Arca style quick release plate should be compatible with this quick release system, such as the Photo Clam PC-59-UP3 Universal Camera Plate.

question

Whats the actual weight capacity that this can hold? The size of this is perfect for me, I need something ultra compact, but I also need it to be able to handle a 5d, 16-35mm lens, idc follow focus and camera mounted shotgun mic.
Asked by: Anonymous
The Magic Rig is quite strong. Our customer reviews show that cameras in the weight range of the Canon 5D will work with the rig. Also If balanced correctly the IDC Follow focus should also work. You will be approaching the upper weight ranges when adding the FF and mic.
