Matthews Gatorbuddy with V-Flat Holder

What sets the Gatorbuddy apart is its unparalleled combination of durability, sturdiness, versatility, convenience, and reliability, making it an indispensable asset for any professional photography or videography studio. Crafted from robust black metal with a sleek, modern design, the Gatorbuddy is not just a mobile panel-support and V-Flat holder; it's a multifunctional tool designed to enhance your creative workflow.

The Gatorbuddy's innovative V-shaped holder is engineered to support a variety of equipment sizes, ensuring a snug and secure fit for your cameras, lights, and more. With its four smooth-rolling wheels, repositioning your gear becomes effortless, allowing for dynamic shooting environments and less downtime. Two of these wheels feature secure locking mechanisms, providing stability and peace of mind during your shoots.

Assembling the Gatorbuddy is a breeze-simply attach the three baby risers, and you're ready to go. Its design promotes efficiency, enabling quick adjustments with a slider knob that allows angle changes up to 15 degrees, facilitating rapid transitions between bounce and negative fill panels. The Gatorbuddy's ability to spin and roll with ease means you can swiftly move panels in and out of the frame for quick background alterations.

Storage and organization are thoughtfully considered with the Gatorbuddy. The baby risers can be clipped back onto the base when not in use, and the pegboard slots offer a convenient hanging solution. For larger setups, multiple Gatorbuddies can be combined to create diverse spaces, showcasing its compartmentalization capabilities.

Compatibility with third-party accessories is a testament to the Gatorbuddy's versatility. The baby risers are finished with standard 5/8" baby pins, seamlessly integrating with grip heads and similar equipment. Additionally, the unit features four 8/32" threaded holes for mounting a junior wall plate and seven tapped 3/8" - 16 receivers for the V-Flat holder and other accessories.

The V-Flat Holder itself is a testament to the Gatorbuddy's thoughtful design, with adjustable handles that allow for easy angle changes and the capacity to accommodate foam core up to 3/4" thick. This adaptability makes the Gatorbuddy a top choice for professionals seeking a durable, versatile, and reliable support system that can keep up with the dynamic nature of photo and film production.
