Zacuto Recoil Pro V2 Rig for Canon C100 Mark II Camera

The Canon C100 Mark II EVF Recoil Pro V2 rig is a shoulder rig designed specifically for the Canon C100 Mark II camera. This is a Next Generation Recoil rig designed for optimal balance and comfort when shoulder mounted or on a tripod. With lenses and cameras being similar weights, the balance point is where the lens meets the camera body. In a shoulder mount rig, the balance point needs to be directly over your shoulder which puts the camera behind you. The Recoil rig adjusts for that balance point and relocates focus, monitoring and camera controls forward, creating a lighter, shorter and properly balanced rig.

VCT Pro Baseplate
The VCT Pro baseplate is compatible with all cameras including Canon EOS C-series, Sony FS5/FS5 Mark II and FS7/FS7 Mark II, AJA CION, BlackMagic, Panasonic EVA1, Panasonic Varicam LT, RED cameras, Arri Alexa and Amira, DSLRs, Mirrorless and more The VCT Pro has a built-in, curved shoulder pad and an Arri M6 rosette for accessories and grips. It comes with quick-release, extendable 6.5" rods at the front and lightweight spaced quick-release rod ports at the back. The v-wedge tripod connector is compatible with VCT14 tripod adapter plates or use the 1/4 20 and 3/8 16 screw holes for direct connect to your tripod quick release plate.

The red sliding top plate offers easy adjust-ability for lens changes, removing your camera and balancing your rig correctly on your shoulder. This sliding plate combined with a double screw track offers 10" of camera balance sliding range. You can quickly release your camera from the rig by sliding the red plate completely off and using our VCT Pro Dock to quickly transition it to a tripod, slider, etc. The lightweight, adjustable rod mount is set far back in the plate, offering plenty of accessory-capable area under the camera lens. This allows you to position your camera further back on the plate, keeping the balance point of your rig directly over your shoulder. The sliding track of the rod riser offers 25mm of vertical adjustment.

The shoulder pad portion of the VCT Universal is set as far forward on the plate as possible, also to maximize your accessory capable rod area and aid with balance. The VCT Universal Baseplate is the core of our Next Generation Recoil rigs, designed for balance and comfort for every camera. Keeping the camera low prevents already tall cameras from being too top heavy. With our VCT, the distance from the bottom of your camera to your shoulder is just 3/4 inch.

Canon Trigger Grip
The Canon Trigger Grip is a single handgrip that relocates the Canon C100, Canon C300 and Canon C500 camera grip to a comfortable hand grip position for shoulder rigs. The Trigger Grip attaches to an M6 Rosette, such as the rosette on the side of our VCT Pro. Our trigger grips are the most adjustable grips available. They allow for single-handed 360deg. rotation with the simple press of a trigger. The two handles rotate independently of each other. Flip them down for a low, rock-solid handgrip. Raise it up for more of an Aaton style position. Or quickly flip them both all the way up to set your camera flat on the ground or for storing in a case. Or stagger them if that is more comfortable to you. The length of the handgrips can also adjust by loosening a red lever and pulling the grip out or pushing in.

C100 Mark II Helmet
The C100 Mark II Helmet package includes the C100 Mark II Helmet, a 5" Z-rail with a 15mm rod lock at the end and a double jawed Z-rail lock. The purpose of this helmet is to strengthen the mount of the supplied camera handle. The Helmet attaches to the top of the camera body via one screw on top and one on the side, relocating the film plane screw on the left side of the camera. This prevents the helmet from twisting. The Helmet has many extra 1/4 20 mounting screw holes.

The Z-rail screws to the top of the Helmet, giving you a rod lock to mount the Axis Mini or other 15mm accessories. Our double sided Z-Rail jaws allow you to attach the Canon top handle securely to the Z-Rail, giving you a rock solid connection to the camera with no wiggly movement. We've eliminated the need for the cumbersome round locking screw and strengthened it by clamping to the side walls of the cold shoe itself. The mount and the rod lock each use a lever for quick release capability. Once installed adjusting the handle forward or back for balance or removal of the handle is just a half turn of the lever.
