The MCS ManCam Bundle for Canon EOS C500 from Letus35 is a modular handheld support system that is configured for two-handed operation. It is designed to accommodate remote follow focus systems. The bundle includes a Cage for Canon EOS C500, V-Lock Baseplate, 12" Stainless Steel Rods, and two T-Handles with T-Handle to 15mm Rod Clamps. It also includes the Top Handle, Top Dovetail, Top Clamp to Rails / Rod Bracket, Top Quick Release Clamp, 8" Black 15mm Iris Rods, and a Rod to Cold Shoe Adapter. In addition, the MCS Back Pack is provided for carrying equipment and accessories.
The cage is designed for use with the Canon EOS C500. It is CNC milled from high-grade aluminum and is hard anodized for durability. It features 1/4"-20 and 3/8" mounting holes along all sides for attaching camera accessories. A mounting point is available for attaching the MCS V-Lock Baseplate, which supports 12" Stainless Steel 15mm rods.
The T-Handles attach to the 15mm rods via the T-Handle to 15mm Rod Clamps. The handles are designed to mimic the feel of grabbing the matte box frame in a typical 35mm film camera setup. They feature 100% silicon grips and utilize hybrid rods, which are flattened on four sides and prevent them from spinning in the rod clamp. Place one handle in front of the camera and one behind for handheld shooting.
The Top Dovetail, Top Quick Release Clamp, and Top Clamp to Rails / Rod Bracket all work together to provide a quick-release system on top of the cage for the Top Handle and 8" rods. This lets you quickly attach and remove the handle and any attached optional rod accessories, such as a follow focus unit. The handle features a stainless steel rosette pivot plate which allows the user to rotate and lock the handle in 30° increments.
