Zacuto Lens Supports for Canon and Zeiss Lenses from Zacuto on Vimeo.
In the build-up to the NAB show there are plenty of new product announcements. The latest from Zacuto will interest users of Canon CN-E and Zeiss CP cine lenses. Their new custom lens support provides a solid mounting to rails that prevents the lens from twisting when used with a follow focus – this is particularly a problem with DSLRs and Canon EF mounted lenses, but can still be an issue with cameras like the C300. The new support differs from others available thanks to its ‘hook and foot’ system that allows for rapid changes while remaining very secure. This is one product that I want certainly want to check out for myself at NAB for my own CP2 lenses.
