One video DSLR support system for all your shooting styles

The award-winning DSLR 2.0 hybrid support rigs reocgnize that video DSLRs change the game when it comes to shooting styles and situations. No longer encumbered by large heavy cameras, DSLR cinema can shoot anytime, any place, discreetly and without drawing attention. Switching between motion and still photography is a snap, and your support rig needs to quickly adapt to the various shooting styles enabled by these small cameras. The Redrock DSLR 2.0 hybrid support rigs meet the need by providing cinema-quality.

Ultra lightweight and ultra portable for discreet shooting

The Redrock DSLR 2.0 hybrid rigs are a new level of portability and lightweight for still and cinema-style shooting rigs. At the heart of this system is the unique patent-pending DSLR baseplate: a lightweight connector to connect the DSLR to 15mm rails as the backbone of any setup. The DSLR baseplate has set screws to eliminate camera rotation for using accessories such as the microFollowFocus. As a result, full size accessories are avoided, minimizing weight without sacrificing features.


Complete Rigs, or Roll Your Own

Whatever your shooting style, the DSLR 2.0 rigs can meet your need. We've created some of the most popular configurations as one-stop packaged solutions. If you want something a little different you can purchase individual components and build your own unique rig.

Future-proof accessories

All DSLR 2.0 rigs are based on cinema standards wherever possible, including the important specs such as 15mm rails, film pitch gearing, and standard filter sizes. Virtually all components can also be used with video cameras, Red cameras (such as Scarlet) and other DSLRs. This keeps your Redrock gear working for you now and into the future.


Revolutionary Pricing

In keeping with Redrock's philosophy of affordable ownership, DSLR 2.0 hybrid support rigs can be purchased for hundreds, not thousands, of dollars. YOu can also add components as your needs grow to adapt your equipment to your evolving shooting style and equipment.
