The OpenRig Base Kit gives you everything you need to build a robust rig without breaking the bank - or the camera. Mount the rail to your tripod or gimbal of choice, and begin rigging with a huge range of accessories - any camera, anywhere.
Whether you're working with a Sony Alpha on a gig for exposure or an ARRI ALEXA on a star-studded call sheet, the OpenRig Base Kit is an easy way to do the hard part. Rig the rail, not the camera, with universal compatibility and balance for any setup - so you can spend more time creating and less time compromising.
Set for Life
It's easy to get overwhelmed when starting your filmmaking journey: complex jargon to cut through, gatekeeping forums telling you anything less than an ARRI ALEXA is amateur, and seemingly simple questions always have complicated answers. The OpenRig system is designed to help: learn one system, once.
Take a Weight Off
Your camera is likely one of the most expensive things you own - or rent, as the case may be. Yet rigging to the camera body risks stripping out screw threads, scratching the casing, or even damaging the internal components. The OpenRig takes the strain instead: mount to the Rail instead of the rig, keeping your most precious parts protected. Use the Arca Base and Anti-Twist Plate to keep your camera on the straight
Any Camera, Anywhere
We've all had that one rig that we're not proud of: not having the correct mount so resorting to just a bit of Self-Securing Closure - or God forbid, gaffer tape. With the OpenRig, you'll never have that problem again. The dual NATO rails give you a range of quick-release rigging options that can be retrofitted with any accessory you can imagine. The castle-wall-style grooves engage as safety stops, for accurate positioning along the rail.
Quick-Release Convenience
Need to go handheld, or grab a quick still? The OpenRig Arca Base lets you quickly detach the camera from your setup, and take it anywhere else. The winged-lever clamp can be loosened for a clean lift-off, and re-attached effortlessly.
Seamless Setups
Whether you're fixed on sticks or perfecting your ninja-walk, the OpenRig can give you an assist. The base of the Rail can mount directly to Manfrotto tripods and DJI RS gimbals - with a spring-loaded gear rack to help balance on gimbals like the RS 4. If you're wanting something even more straightforward, use the bolt-on screw threads to fix your OpenRig in place - then quick-release the rest of your gear as needed.
Base for Expansion
We've got a range of extras to help make the most of your new OpenRig setup. Prop up your lens mount with our Lens Adapter Support, add extra quick-release via an Arca Receiver, or bring your whole rig up to the 15mm LWS height standard via the range of Risers. The OpenRig system is full of possibilities - these are just some of them.
Part of the OpenRig System
Make rigging easier. With the OpenRig system from Bright Tangerine, you can learn one system, once - but have endless possibilities. Whether you need a run-and-gun rig for a documentary or a full cine build, the OpenRig system has the solution.
Compatibility
The OpenRig Base Kit is designed to fit with any camera. The inverted Arca profile in the center allows for cameras to be positioned and balanced along the full length of the rail, with 160mm of sliding travel. The base features an integrated Manfrotto and DJI-compatible dovetail for mounting to tripods or gimbals, as well as fixed screw threads for non-standard mounts.
- Anti-Twist Plate -
The OpenRig Anti-Twist Plate keeps your rig steady: with a front lip design that straightens smaller cameras when mounted to the Arca Base.
Static shot unintentionally turning into a pan? The OpenRig Anti-Twist Plate helps keep everything aligned: with an adjustable design that is perfect for keeping your rig aligned. Line the front lip with the front of your camera, and shoot with the confidence that there will be no unexpected twists.
Features
No Sudden Twists - The Anti-Twist Plate's adjustable front lip keeps your rig forward-facing
Removeable and Adjustable - Slide the Plate back-and-forth on the Arca Base to adjust for different cameras, or remove it entirely
