BIRTV 2015: Vocas shows new C300 mkII top handle and ARRI Alexa MINI cage

By Max Duncan and site editor Dan Chung:

Dutch gear maker Vocas were showing their new top handle and cheeseplate for the Canon C300 mkII and new ARRI Alexa MINI cage at the BIRTV show in Beijing. We have reported on these before but this is the first time we have seen the real thing.

The Alexa MINI setup has the latest Vocas VCT compatible baseplate which allows the camera to slide backwards and forwards for perfect balancing.

The C300 mkII top plate replace the stock Canon one. It has multiple mounting points and you can also add a relocator for the LCD/Audio jackpack which moves it across towards the operator side more.

For more info on all these products check out the Vocas website.
