As good as it gets for my BMPCC4K & 6K

Everything about this rig is perfect and works flawlessly! Love all the attachments from the EVF, the tactical grip to the amazing trigger grip handle and ease of use to adjust everything on the fly. Great piece of gear starting from the ACT baseplate, the Cage and everything about it feels bulletproof and made to last!

Game Changer!

I’m a 5’4 female and filmmaker. I’ve shot docs and do run and gun. Cowboy rigs, gimbal set ups and other janky things I’ve tried hurt my back and/or weren’t versatile enough to allow me to move fast. The recoil has made things SOOOOO much easier and enjoyable for me. Highly recommend—especially if you are a smaller person.

Overhaul your Panasonic S5 camera setup with the Zacuto ACT Recoil Rig, a comprehensive and Arca-Swiss compatible shoulder rig designed to elevate your filming experience. This rig is meticulously crafted to provide a balanced and customizable platform, ideal for all-day shooting across various environments.

The Panasonic S5 Cage, a central component of this rig, is a "no-cage" cage that is both lightweight and compact, ensuring your camera remains the star of the show. It securely attaches to your Panasonic S5 with three connection points, using a 1/4" 20 screw at the bottom and additional screws at the camera's eyelets neck strap connection. This robust design guarantees stability and peace of mind during dynamic shoots.

Experience the convenience of a cage that doesn't obstruct your camera's built-in handgrip, allowing for unimpeded access to all camera controls. The top of the cage features multiple 1/4" 20 mounting points and a built-in Z-Rail for attaching a range of accessories, including an optional top handle. The bottom of the cage is equipped with both 1/4" 20 and 3/8" 16 threads for tripod mounting, alongside a built-in Arca Swiss compatible plate for swift transitions between handheld, shoulder mount, and tripod setups.

The ACT Baseplate is the foundation of versatility, compatible with all Mirrorless and DSLR cameras. It boasts a built-in curved shoulder pad and 15mm lightweight spaced quick-release rod ports, front and back, to support additional filmmaking accessories. The top and bottom of the baseplate are Arca-Swiss compatible, streamlining the transition between different shooting styles.

Our Tactical Handle redefines flexibility, functioning as a top handle, left, or right hand grip with a simple ratcheting lever. Its slim profile ensures a comfortable hold, while the Z-Rail (NATO rail) atop the handle provides ample space for mounting devices like recorders or monitors.

The Axis Micro EVF Mount introduces a new level of adjustment for rosette-mounted EVFs or small monitors. Its compact design and extensive articulation make it an essential addition for both shoulder-mounted and tripod-based operations.

For ergonomic support, the Right Trigger Grip, designed for your right hand, attaches to any standard 15mm rod. This wooden handgrip is not only stylish but offers unparalleled adjustability with 360-degree rotation at the press of a trigger, allowing for quick repositioning or compact storage.

The ACT EVF Pro is a 3.5" LED back-lit HDMI electronic viewfinder that doubles as a small monitor. It features anti-fog optics, a 1.8x magnification lens system, and includes drop-in diopters for eye comfort. Supporting resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 and featuring HDMI input with loop-through output, this EVF is a versatile tool for audiovisual monitoring.

Enhance your Panasonic S5 camera's capabilities with the Zacuto ACT Recoil Rig, a durable, sturdy, reliable, versatile, and high-quality solution tailored to meet the demands of professional videographers and photographers.
