Canon C100 Z-Finder and EVF Recoil Kit
Z
The Z-Finder Recoil Rig includes our VCT Baseplate and a treaded
bracket and support arm that is screwed to the C100 top handle
providing attachment points and most importantly the support arm
for the Z-Finder attached to the flip out screen. As the Z-finder position
is not optimal for shoulder mounted operation, the VCT Baseplate it is
primarily used on a tripod, slider or dolly. The Canon C100 EVF Recoil
adds the items needed to make this a shoulder mounted rig. It adds
the Axis mount to the C100 handle bracket, and the Z-Mount Zwivel
Grip relocator.
