Zacuto Sony FS7M2 Recoil with Dual Trigger Grips

The Sony FS7M2 Recoil with Dual Trigger Grips kit from Zacuto consists of a comfortable shoulder-mounted rig with a dual, 360° rotating handgrip system. This Recoil rig distributes your focus, monitoring, and camera controls forward, creating an evenly balanced handheld or tripod-based Sony PXW-FS7M2 rig. The right-hand component of the Dual Trigger Grips relocates your original Sony handgrip to a more comfortable operating position.

Kit components include a VCT Pro baseplate, Dual Trigger Grips, and a 13.8″ LANC extension cable. Use the included Axis Mini EVF mount to attach an optional EVF or onboard monitor.

Zacuto VCT Pro Baseplate
With built-in ergonomic shoulder pad, 10″ sliding track, extra space for accessories in front, VCT14-compatible V-wedge, red buttons and levers all around, and much more, this is the stylish VCT Pro Baseplate from Zacuto. Use it with all types of cameras, from DSLRs to larger models, like the Alexa.

A section of the baseplate extends out beyond the 15mm LWS rod adapter in front. With the rod adapter thus set back, you have additional space to mount accessories under the camera lens, allowing you to position the camera further back on the plate, keeping the balance point of your rig directly over your shoulder. (The rod adapter is vertically adjustable 1″, and has to be in a raised position to allow for accessories to be mounted in the additional space. Also, a 1.8″ riser for the rod adapter is optionally available for RED cameras by special order from Zacuto.) Also, on the bottom of the section that protrudes out is where the V-wedge is. There is also a 15mm LWS rod adapter on the rear.

The VCT Pro Baseplate features a 10″ sliding track, providing the space to optimally adjust balance after every lens change. Moreover, the included red camera plate can be loosened by a spring-loaded lever instead of a screw, so you can make adjustments quickly and easily. To fully release and remove the plate (and camera), just press a red button on the side of the baseplate and slide the plate out. The rod ports also have spring-loaded levers.

An ARRI M6 rosette is available on the front for attaching accessories and grips, and there are also three 1/4″-20 threaded holes on the side providing additional mounting options. 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 tripod mount holes are available on the bottom to use instead of the V-wedge. The shoulder pad runs pretty much along the entire length as well as width of the baseplate, and is made of gel polymer. Two 6.5″ 15mm rods are included. One 1/4″-20 and one 3/8″-16 screw are supplied for the camera plate. The VCT Pro Baseplate is made in the USA.
