The Advanced Wooden Camera BMC Kit is designed to provide Blackmagic Design's Cinema Camera with a custom support system. The kit includes the BMC Camera Cage, the BMC Mini Baseplate, the NATO Handle Plus Kit v2, two 15mm support rods, and a 15mm rod clamp. These components can be arranged in a variety of configurations to suit your needs.
The Mini Baseplate is height adjustable and accepts industry-standard 15mm rods. The NATO Handle Plus Kit v2 is designed for quick release attaching and detaching, and the wood-lined grip features an array of 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 holes for mounting additional accessories. The BMC Camera Cage preserves access to essential camera interfaces and adds many threaded holes, including 1/4"-20 holes in standard spacing (9mm center to center) and 3/8"-16 holes in ARRI-standard spacing (50mm center to center).
The Wooden Camera Mini Baseplate for the Blackmagic Camera is a rod support system for the Blackmagic Camera. The camera attaches on top to make use of a 15mm Rod Clamp connected to the front of the plate. Rods can be installed into the clamp and a follow focus and a matte box mounted onto them for use with the camera. A second clamp can optionally be connected to the rear of the plate for additional rod support. The clamps can be mounted normally or upside-down to accommodate different lens heights. The plate can also be used to mount tripods, via 1/4" and 3/8" threads on its underside.
Alternative to attaching the camera directly onto the plate, it can instead be placed in Wooden Camera's Blackmagic Camera Cage and the cage attached. A set of screws comes included for mounting the cage. The cage is sold separately.
The Camera Cage For Blackmagic Camera from Wooden Camera provides an ideal production tool for the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. It has 1/4"-20 holes in standard 9mm center to center spacing and 3/8"-16 holes in ARRI standard 50mm center to center spacing. It's secured by three screws on the top and a single locating pin and screw on the bottom.
All of the vital features of the camera, such as the SSD door, LCD Touch Screen, and input/output ports are easily accessible. The contoured grips put all the controls at your fingertips with the REC button at the right index finger and FOCUS and IRIS at your thumbs. Combine with the optional Universal Baseplate for lightweight 15mm support rods.
The Wooden Camera 15mm Rod Clamp attaches to 15mm rods to add 1/4"-20 screw-holes to your camera rig. Among the variety of accessories that can be mounted to these screw-holes is Wooden Camera's QB Battery Back Plate. This plate comes in different versions, each designed to have a different type of battery plate and ultimately battery attached to it. With these attached, the QB Battery Back Plate can be mounted right onto the screw-holes of the Rod Clamp. The ability to attach so is especially useful when you have no way of mounting a battery directly onto your camera and as an alternative are looking for a way to get the battery near the camera (so you can connect the two).
This is a single, 15" long 15mm Support Rod from Wooden Camera for mounting accessories. It is chamfered at each end to ease sliding accessories on and off, and has a hollow interior providing for maximum strength.
