Due to the recent boom in popularity of shooting DSLR video, Lemac has begun stocking a large range of exciting new accessories to make shooting video on your DSLR camera more efficient and effective.

Take a look at the latest additions to Lemac's DSLR accessory range:

A brand new product to Lemac's range, the MOVIEtube PR allows video DSLRs to be used as professional digital video cameras by providing a sturdy support base and a variety of accessory-mounting options.

The Movietube PR is a modular system and comes in two different versions - Production and Lite. Both versions are fully compatible with each other and can be up/down-graded in minutes. The rig is compatible with the 35 mm film and video gear, which means you can use many of the accessories you already own, ensuring a smooth and trusted workflow on set.

Z-Finders

Zacuto's new Z-Finders are the remedy to a host of problems that arise when shooting video on DSLR cameras.

Small LCD screens, manual focussing with a very shallow depth-of-field and problems with camera shake can make shooting video on DSLRs painful. The Z-Finder system allows the camera operator to see the LCD clearly, making obtaining sharp focus a breeze, whilst having a point of contact on the face means camera shake is reduced significantly.

The Z-Finder comes in 2 distinct models, the Pro and the Jr. Both offer 2.5x magnification (with the Pro also available in a 3x model), 40mm diameter lens and a field of view perfectly suited to 3" LCD screens. The Pro model also offers an integrated Gorilla Baseplate which works with Zacuto's Gorilla support kits and a diopter for adjusting the focus to suit your individual eye.

Gorilla Kits

Gorilla Kits are simply “points of contact” kits. These rigs have been developed to be lightweight for a more “on the go” gorilla shooter. Perfect for journalists, event and indie shooters who might be doing a combination of still photography and small clips of high definition video, Gorilla kits are extremely light weight and portable.

The Gorilla Kits are so easy and light to handle because they do not have accessory rods built into the Gorilla baseplate. This means that while you cannot mount any film accessories like a matte box or follow focus, these kits give you just the stability needed to shoot small segments of HD video while keeping your overall rig compact, light and small. 

The Gorilla kits have a unique design, by attaching your tripod plate to the bottom of the Gorilla plate you can go from the tripod to handheld just by hitting your tripods quick-release button. Speed is the name of the game if you are a gorilla shooter and these kits have it.

Chrosziel has also come to the DSLR party with a range of support rigs based on their well respected, existing camcorder setups.

With a range of optional add-on accessories including follow focus systems, zoom drives, lens supports, top handles and matteboxes, you can choose a kit to suit any application from indie projects to fully fledged studio productions. Chrosziel also offer their DV-Balancer Shoulder Brace kit which is a shoulder-mounted support system, specifically designed for cameras with the viewfinder at the rear of the camera body, making it a perfect fit for video enabled DSLRs.

Many Chrosziel accessories are also compatible with rigs from other manufacturers, allowing the freedom to build your own kit piece by piece.
