Zacuto Recoil Pro rig for Canon C500 Mark II & C300 Mark III: stable, adjustable, durable. Includes baseplate, rods & handle. Shop now!

Overcome the challenges of handheld shooting with the Recoil Pro for Canon C500 Mark II and C300 Mark III cameras. This professional-grade shoulder rig, designed by the trusted brand Zacuto, offers optimal balance and comfort, whether you're shooting from the shoulder or using a tripod. The Recoil Pro's design addresses the balance point of your camera setup, which typically lies where the lens meets the camera body. This rig adjusts to that balance point, relocating focus, monitoring, and camera controls forward. The result is a lighter, shorter, and properly balanced rig that enhances your shooting experience.The VCT Pro Baseplate, a key feature of this rig, comes with a sliding top plate for quick camera removal or lens changes. Its built-in, curved shoulder pad and v-wedge tripod connector (compatible with both 1/4" 20 and 3/8" 16 screws) add to its versatility. With removable and extendable 6.5" 15mm lightweight rods and rows of 1/4" 20 screw holes along the sides, you can easily attach a variety of accessories. The baseplate also features quick-release 15mm rod parts in the rear and a recessed rod mount for maximum accessory space under your camera lens.The Rosette Trigger Grip, another standout feature, relocates the Canon camera grip to a comfortable handgrip position for shoulder rigs. These trigger grips, the most adjustable on the market, allow for single-handed 360-degree rotation with the simple press of a trigger. The package includes the necessary cable to connect your trigger grip to the camera.The Recoil Pro also includes a top plate specifically for the C500 Mark II & C300 Mark III cameras. This top plate offers multiple 1/4" 20 and 3/8" 16 mounting screw holes for attaching a variety of accessories, as well as a spot to mount the LCD Monitor. While the Canon Top Handle can be used on the top plate, it limits the ability to easily slide a handle back and forth for balance and mounting points for accessories.Finally, the package includes the rock-solid Recoil Handle top grip, which accepts two cold shoe accessories and has a quick-release 15mm rod port. This handle allows you to quickly remove it for travel, making the Recoil Pro a practical choice for on-the-go videographers. In summary, the Recoil Pro for Canon C500 Mark II and C300 Mark III cameras is a durable, sturdy, and reliable choice for professionals seeking high-quality camera support.

I have been a long time Zacuto user. Recently I was asked by a friend of mine to DP a shoot that he was directing. It was also a project that became the basis of a product review for his gear related web site so I decided that it would be a good test for the new version of the Recoil Rig and the new Trigger Grips. I also decided that I would create an overview video on the product if I liked it. 
 
 Well, well, well... I thought that this would be a minor upgrade in usability from my prior experiences with their products and my own Recoil Rig that I have used with my C100 for a long time. I was wrong! 
 
 We use the rig with the C100, C300MKII and the C200 and I found it to be a HUGE upgrade from the prior system. For me it's mostly about the Trigger Grips. They make everything faster. I can get the camera on and off my shoulder and into shooting mode in much less time than ever before. And, the system is very comfortable to me as a shooter. 
 
 I like it so much that the Recoil Rig with Trigger Grips is going to be my next rig for shooting. 
 
 Check out the article about the project we used the system on and also my video about the rig...

My Preferred Rig for Cinema EOS Cameras

As a C300 mkII owner/operator, I really love the flexibility of shooting handheld or on a tripod or monopod, or even on a medium sized gimbal. It's a wonderful, professional camera in a compact package. 
 
 So rigging up the C300II on a big shoulder rig has never really appealed to me. But this kit is different. It's versatile and the trigger grips move out of the way instantly when you don't want them. So you can go from shoulder to handheld to low ground-level shots quickly. And you can pack away the whole rig into a standard production bag, fully assembled. 
 
 After using the Recoil Pro with Dual Trigger Grips, I think this is the way to go for C300 mkII shooters. You get the benefits of shoulder rig operation, like shooting steady footage with a long lens, while not sacrificing the ability to shoot fast and remain nimble. 
 
 This kit comes with the grip handle relocator and top handle unit, so the only thing you'll need, if you don't have one already, is the VCT baseplate to put on your tripod. I also recommend Zacuto's C300/C500 monitor mounting kit, which enables you to use the stock clamshell monitor that comes with the C300II, instead of an EVF like pictured in this kit. Here's that item: https://store.zacuto.com/mounting-kit-for-c300-c500-z-finder/
