Zacuto’s DSLR baseplate kits are universal and quick-releasable; and will work with all cameras and accessories. Zacuto kits allow users to make DSLR’s work much like camcorders. All kits are balanced, which is critical for smooth movement and less user fatigue in both tripod and handheld use. They can be used with any 15mm lightweight accessories, follow focuses & matte boxes. The kits are designed to be used with current and future models of cameras & camcorders.

Our DSLR Filmmaker Kit allows for tripod and shoulder mount use of your DSLR camera for smooth, comfortable shooting.Zacuto kits allow users to make DSLR’s work much like camcorders.The rig can be easily balanced with a few quick adjustments and gives DSLR cameras the stability of a larger shoulder-mounted camera, which will produce smoother shots. The combination of our height adjustable Mini Baseplate and Z-Spacer allows you to mount any matte box and the Z-Focus. The Z-spacer not only raises the camera but also moves it forward so the lens mount is over the rods. You can mount any matte box, but you can make your matte box a swing away matte box by using the Zwing-away adapter included in this kit. The key features of the DSLR Filmmaker kit is the ability to mount a Beachtek audio adapter (DXA-5D), a special unit for the Canon 5D Mark II with audio meters and a headphone jack for monitoring audio; and control the levels of your outboard microphones easily. You can also mount an on-board monitor for both handheld and tripod use.

Zacuto kits give you all the components you need for your camera package right out of the box and at a discounted price verses buying the components ala carte, which is also an option. With various price points, no confusion, and the ability to be used with a tripod, steadicam, dolly, Jib, handheld or shoulder mount; you can purchase the kit that is perfect for you and your type of shooting.
