Used Zacuto Axis Mini Mount for EVFs with a Rosette Attachment

2022-04-22T20:00:00

As much as I love my Gratical Eye, it wouldn't matter too much if I didn't have this Axis Mini to mount it with. It is perfect. The build, function, how smooth everything feels and easy it is to make adjustments. They should be sold as bundle!

I bought the Axis Mini as a way to attach my Z Cam EVF as well as my Portkeys LH5P monitor to my shoulder rig. I am really happy with the build quality and the fact that you can easily manipulate each joint without fear of the EVF/monitor falling like with other rosette systems. For my first Zacuto purchase, I'm very impressed and will definitely be buying again in future.

Nothing else was working for what I needed. Was well worth the money.

We have tried a couple different EVFs for our Canon C70s. One was small and lightweight, with decent image quality, but it was very difficult to find a solid way to mount it to the C70 (we use Zacuto cages). This mount works perfectly with the Kameleon EVF. It?s flexible and well designed, and it stays put while the camera setup is being moved (as long as you lock each lever down lol). Zero wobble. A bit pricey but we think it?s a good value for what you get.

This and several other Zacuto products I recently bought are solid high quality pieces of gear. The Axis Mini is simple and the design makes is surprisingly useful. I was in a position to pay for it, but I didn't like that part.

The axis is highly adjustable, smooth and solid. I’m not left with my evf flopping around or falling off a nova arm. My only gripe was mine started leaking grease after a day of use and got all over a couple shirts of mine :/ (was definitely over greased from the factory) make sure you check this before use and remove excess grease if Needed.

A bit expensive, and a tad heavier than I'd hope, but it's the best option there is that works with a rod-based connection point for evf with arri mount

It's just right and operates how you think it should. Feels well made. You don't have to think about it while operating.

The Axis Mini is the key engineering component to ensure the proper use of the Gratical HD Micro Oled electronic viewfinder. I tried using my Gratical HD before receiving the Axis Mini, and it didn’t work for me; the beauty of the Axis Mini is how you can lock in the exact position that works for you and rarely worry about making adjustments between locations or setups. My first Axis Mini had issues tightening down properly; apparently I received a model from an earlier production run that was promptly replaced by the fine folks at Zacuto. Now I’m on cloud 9, rarely worrying about making subtle micro adjustments on the fly for the best viewing experience possible.

We have an older Zacuto EVF and the Axis Mini allow us to use that in conjunction with the C300 Mk ii Helmet Kit. It was a great way to keep our older gear relevant and future proof if we want to upgrade the EVF. We couldn't be happier with how solid the entire Zacuto system is with the C300 Mk ii and elevates the camera system in a major way.

Love this thing. It is a perfect size. It has just the right amount of length for me to position the EVF to my liking and moves in all the right directions. The most important part is that it's super solid, can stay tight. Everything else out there is a nightmare to work with. This is really the only solution. Magic arms etc are nothing compare to this, reallty. Plus the other important element is that you can have a smooth motion to follow your eye so it doesnt hurt during some moves and you can reposition on the fly and still be strong and in position. Ingenious.

The Axis Mini is an essential accessory for any Gratical because it is boring, and predictable. Compare that to a Magic Arm, flailing around every time you try and adjust it. Or a standard ARRI rosette dogbone attached to a rod holder, coming loose and spinning down and hitting you in the back of the head as you carry your camera on your tripod. Or any number of other jury rigged solutions you might try to keep your very expensive and very fancy EVF in front of your eyes where you need it. The Axis Mini does what it's supposed to. It does it smoothly, predictably, consistently, and gives you as an operator confidence in how your camera will work and how you'll look operating it. You're paying for the build quality and the reliability that comes from Zacuto products, which are consistently fantastic.
