The Production Rig is available for purchase now and is manufactured and distributed by cmotion.
- maximum accessibility of all operating elements on both cameras
- different mounting brackets for various cameras
- lightweight construction thanks to the use of aluminium and carbon fiber elements
- entire weight of rig (without cameras) 15.8 KG / 35,8 lb
- internally motorized interaxial of 100mm / 3.9“
- easy transportation in two separate cases (mirror box and L-shaped support)
- with Alexa and UPs
- with Sony F3 and UPs
With only one single screw the mirror box can be fixed on the main L-shaped camera holder within seconds. For the production rig a Standard Mirror Box or a Wide Angle Mirror Box are currently available. Precision steel pins and hight-end engineering ensure a perfect alignment.
- widest available mirror box on the market
- 14.5mm with Drive-In Donut on Alexa (Wide Angle MB)
- 21mm with Drive-In Donut on Alexa (Standard MB)
- easy transportation, components ship in separate cases
- extremely lightweight
SCREEN PLANE mirror rigs are built as a ridged aluminum and carbon fiber structure with the shortest possible distance between the cameras and the mirror. This design guarantees maximum stiffness and precision in alignment.
- no alignment, movement or flex on the mirror frame
- precisely machined geometry for rapid alignment
As the first system of its kind the Production Rig offers an adjustment of the tilt angle in the center of gravity of the rig itself.
- tilt adjust expands creative freedom
- easy to achieve extreme tilt angles
- precise alignment of tilt angles in 2.5° increments
- maximum stiffness of the carbon support columns
- bent shape of carbon column for optimum acces
Together with Cartoni we have developed a side mount which allows the Production Rig to be side mounted on a Lamda Head.
Camera and lenses can be reached easily and as the Lamda can be varied in the height of the column the tilt range has almost no limits anymore. This configuration also allows to use the Lambda in an overslung or underslung configuration and offers a unmatched flexibility for the DP.
The high stiffness in the Production Rig even allows the rig to be mounted on cranes with only a single side mount, as shown on the photos above, in this case with a Supertechno Z-Head. The carbon fiber arms can be removed within seconds to mount the rig from one or both sides.
All alignment elements are easy to reach and allow the rig to be adjusted with great precision.
Axes like Roll normally don‘t need recalibrating between shots and can be fixed seperatly. Roll alignment rotates around the optical axis of the lens.
Axes to be adjusted: tilt, roll, height, convergence, interaxial. No additional adjustment on the mirror is needed.
No other rig offers such a flexibilty for filtering. Both cameras are equipped with two 4x5.65“ filter trays and a mounting ring for ARRI standard 143mm donuts with an additional round filter option.
If wide angles are required the filter trays can be removed and our Dive-In Donut lets the lens dive into the mirror box (up to 114mm front ring diameter). The Dive-In Donut still offers a 4 1/2“ round filter option.
In addition the Standard Mirror Box has an additional filter slot in front of the mirror box.
The Production Rig is equipped with a full 8 axis cmotion camin (focus, iris, zoom on both cameras and an intergrated motor for interaxial). Convergence can be motorized with an external lens motor as well.
