At the NAB show earlier in the year we interviewed Steve Weiss and Jens Bogehegn about their upcoming new Recoil rigs. These are an evolution of the original Recoil shoulder mounting system and follow the same principles of trying to achieve good balance on the shoulder whatever the size of your camera.
This week Adorama Pro caught up with the pair to talk about the latest prototype versions and also look at some totally new accessories. I especially like how the VCT base has evolved into something even more low profile than the prototype we saw at NAB. The new Axis EVF mount that attaches to the top handle is also a great idea and does away with the need for more complex EVF arms that are commonplace at the moment.
Of interest to Canon C300 and 500 users will be their updated mounting solution for the C300 LCD backpack. They claim it is has much less play than the original and has a simplified design.
