edelkrone Run-and-Gun Kit

The edelkrone Pocket Rig 2 is a compact and portable DSLR base that folds out to provide a versatile support arm and 15mm rods. It attaches to the bottom of your DSLR or mirrorless camera via a 1/4"-20 thumbscrew and has a form similar to a battery grip when folded, so it won't interfere with photo taking and traditional handheld work. It can also be used with compact camcorders. When you need more stability for video recording, simply fold out the Pocket Rig's fully adjustable support arm that functions as a chest/shoulder brace. By using the belt groove on the support piece, you can also use your belt to support the weight of the rig for stable shots with less arm fatigue.

More than just a support arm, the Pocket Rig 2 also features 15mm rods that can fold out in a matter of seconds, allowing you to attach a follow focus, matte box, handles, or other 15mm rod accessories. The rods can extend up to 7". At the base of the rig is a 1/4"-20 threaded hole, allowing you to mount it directly onto a tripod or tripod plate and serve as a 15mm rod baseplate for your camera.

The FocusONE v2 Follow Focus Unit from edelkrone is a single rod-based follow focus unit that mounts the marking disk between the handwheel and the drive gear, which provides extremely precise focus marks. The v2 model updates the unit with A/B hard stops for even more precise focus movements. The unit features an industry-standard 0.8 MOD drive gear, and the gearbox has an adjustment screw so you can set the tension and play to fit your comfort level. An industry-standard whip/crank socket allows you to use an available speed crank or focus whip if you desire.

The unit can also adjust to accommodate pulling focus with virtually any diameter lens that you can use with a 15mm or 19mm rod. The unit can easily tilt and adjust with your camera setup, and it can be mounted on either side of the lens. The marking disk faces the operator, giving additional confirmation to the operator that the lens is at the proper mark, and it is also lined up precisely with the focus ring for an accurate focus pull. Adjusting the marking disk is simple to do even without a marker by setting the lens where you want it, rotating the disk to the index mark you wish, and then you can change focus back to the mark you set. The marker disk is made from plastic, and you can place additional index marks on it with available temporary markers of your choice.

The edelkrone Monitor/EVF Holder permits fast and easy monitor or EVF adjustments without the need to loosen and tighten any bolts to tilt up or down. Thanks to the constant friction system inside the monitor holder, you can just push the monitor up or down, and it stays where you put it. Monitors up to 9" can be attached.

The Monitor/EVF Holder fits onto standard shoe mounts, allow you to attach it directly to your DSLR or camera, an edelkrone Modula rig, or any other rig with a standard shoe mount. The Monitor/EVF angle can be adjusted with one hand and allows you to switch instantly from shoulder setups to low handheld setups. In addition, its symmetrical design allows it to be flipped for mounting on either side of the camera. The length of the unit also accommodates camera operators who prefer to use their left eye when using EVFs.

Monitors and viewfinder attach to the Monitor/EVF Holder via a 1/4"-20 screw, and you can adjust the resistance/friction level to accommodate monitors and EVFs of different weights. A second 1/4"-20 screw underneath the Monitor/EVF Holder allows you to attach additional accessories.
