Zacuto, USA proudly announces three new baseplate kits to work with the new Panasonic AG-AF100! When shooting handheld with AG-AF100, we strongly recommend a kit including a shoulder pad, counterbalance weight, and handgrips. Thus, Zacuto, USA has developed camera accessory kits to perform with the Panasonic AG AF-100: The Docu Kit, the Cine Kit, and the Indie Kit.

 

Panasonic AG AF-100


DSLR cameras have allowed filmmakers to have a great advantage – the ability to utilize a relatively inexpensive camera to shoot large format, hi-def video rather than using expensive dedicated video cameras. Now, Panasonic has announced their first entry into the forthcoming hybrid DSLR/video camera market – the Panasonic AG-AF100. With the capacity to maximize the potential of its high-resolution, 4/3-type sensor and all the professional video camera features you expect from a pro video camera -filmmakers can have the best of both worlds. 

 

 

 

 

Zacuto has created the accessories you need to rig the AF100 to fit your shooting needs.

 

Docu Baseplate Kit


 

Our started kit is the Docu Kit. It is designed for use on a tripod or dolly and  includes our Universal Baseplate which gives the foundation for mounting a matte box, follow focus, and other professional accessories. The Docu Kit also includes the Zacuto Zonitor lightweight  kit which is an quick release articulating arm system for mounting a professional monitor.  This starter kit gives the foundation for working with your AG-AF100 on a tripod or gives you the ability to create your own custom kit by adding other professional accessories.

 

Cine Baseplate Kit

 
The Cine Baseplate kit is also designed for use on a tripod or dolly. It includes our Universal Baseplate and as well as the ability to mount professional V-mount or Anton Bauer style batteries for powering a monitor and it also acts as a counterbalance weight to offset the weight of the camera and lens. The Cine Baseplate kit also includes the articulating quick release monitor arm and a wireless plate to hold your wireless microphone receiver, down converters or video transmitters.

 

Indie Baseplate Kit

 

The Indie Baseplate kit is designed for tripod as well as shoulder mounted.  This kit allows you to mount a follow focus, matte box, wireless microphone receiver, and external monitor with the professional power. The professional power also acts as the counterbalance weight since it is position behind your shoulder. The dual handgrips give you extra stability. This rig can quickly go between tripod and shoulder mounted with a couple quick adjustments. If you are going to be shooting handheld with AG-AF100, we strongly recommend this kit or a kit similar with a shoulder pad, counterbalance weight, and handgrips.
