  • Motion Control Rig for Smaller Cameras

    Posted by Kevin Camin on March 23, 2019 at 7:07 pm

    Does anyone have a good recommendation on a rig for a smaller camera like a Sony AR3 with a telephoto lens? I saw some things on FB a while back with smaller rigs for smaller cameras but it has since vanished. Just looking for something that works with small cameras reliably.

    I’m aware of the more robust rigs and their larger price tag. We mainly shoot with larger Sony camera at the studio, but we’re not in a great position to invest in a rig that can deal with that amount of weight. So we’re willing (on some projects) drop down to the AR3 for gimble shots or potentially moco shots.

    Thank you!

    Best regards,

    Look at all the various pieces of gear from Edelkrone.

    Their stuff is amazing, and incredibly affordable.

    I use a Syrp system for motion control for our B cam, which is an a7III. It’s a shade less precise on slider moves than other systems, but its flexibility in setup makes up for that.
