Leitz Cine Henri Overview
Add a director's viewfinder to your production with the HENRI Support with L-to-LPL and LPL-to-PL Mount Adapters from Leitz Cine. The kit includes the HENRI handheld support rig and L-to-LPL and LPL-to-PL lens mount adapters. The Henri rig features a swing-away Bolex-style handle with an integrated start/stop button, a shutter release cable, a quick release plate, a dual-rod system with multiple rod length options to add an optional follow focus or matte box, and you can utilize the included lens mount adapters so you can utilize a variety of cine lenses. The bracket mounts around your choice of lens or the lens adapter, creating a handy director's viewfinder.
Your compact SL2 or SL2-S mounts easily onto the HENRI when a lens is attached, and the whole assembly (without the lens attached) weighs only 4 lb, providing an ideal director's finder to your set. The kit comes with a Pelican 1450 case with a custom-cut foam insert to store and transport the entire kit.
The Leitz HENRI kit is the solution to the search for a modern director's viewfinder with the clearest and highest resolution image available.
The Leitz HENRI system is a lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber support with an integrated swing-away handle reminiscent of a Beaulieu Super 16 camera.
The system connects to the camera with the included L-to-LPL and LPL-to-PL mount adapters, and it is designed to quickly go from handheld to tripod or monopod mount.
Standard follow focus systems can be attached easily to the dual rods.
The handle includes a camera start/stop button that allows for instant image capture or recording without having to reset your hands.
The complete system without the lens weighs only 4 lb.
Director's Finder and Filming Mode
The Leica SL2 and SL2-S models are designed with the cinematographer in mind, and the Henri system makes shooting with the camera and professional cine lenses even easier.
The SL2/SL2-S sensor can be selected for either full frame or cropped to an APS-C/Super 35 size depending on the format of the lenses.
Frame lines for common aspect ratios can be applied for either setting. The available frame lines include 1.33:1, 1.66:1, 1.78:1, 1.85:1, 2.35:1, and 2.40:1.
