Zacuto Gratical Eye Bundle for Sony FX9, Includes VCT Pro Baseplate, Dual Trigger Grips, Axis Mini

- Gratical Eye -

The Gratical Eye SDI electronic viewfinder is the smallest and lightest of our Micro OLED EVFs. It fits in the palm of your hand and weighs only 14oz. This is an ideal SDI EVF solution for filmmakers using professional cameras and external batteries. The Gratical Eye has a 2 pin Lemo power jack and a single SDI input. A 75Wh battery can power the Gratical Eye for 14 hours! Mount the Gratical Eye to your Next Generation Recoil via the 1/4 20 rosette on the side with an Axis Mini.

The Gratical Eye Micro OLED electronic viewfinder uses an extremely powerful FPGA dual-core processor and the latest Micro-OLED displays to provide a hugely expanded contrast range. Our Micro-OLED display supports high pixel density with unparalleled resolution, true blacks, gamma and contrast range. The Gratical Eye has 5.4 million pixels on a 0.61" diagonal screen no bigger than the size of your thumbnail.

You'll be amazed with how sharp the image is. The internal field of view is just the right size so that the image is large, but not so that your eye has to roam to see the entire image at once. It features a built in -1 to +4 diopter range and Zacuto's patented essential anti-fog coating formula. It never fogs in humidity or freezing temperatures. An auto-closing eyecup door prevents sunburn display automatically without any action by the operator.

Along with the full suite of Zacuto EVF firmware (full scopes, LUTs, multi level peaking, and more), the Gratical Eye has two unique features - an external tally light and a proximity screen saver.

Note:
External power is required for the Eye. This Power/SDI cable transmits both power and video to the Eye. A Gripper 75 can power the Gratical eye for up to 12 hours and mounts directly to rods out the back of your baseplate. Alternately, with our Zwiss Plate V2 and additional rear rods, you can add a S standard battery plate and batteries.

- VCT Pro Baseplate -

The VCT Pro camera baseplate is compatible with all cameras including Canon EOS C-series, Sony FS5/FS5 Mark II, FS7/FS7 Mark II and Sony FX9, 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 connection 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. We also offer a shorter red plate for smaller cameras like Mirrorless and DSLR cameras.

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. Alternate Tall Rod Riser offering up to 45mm of vertical adjustment - for RED cameras - is available.

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.

- FX9 Dual Trigger Grips -

The Sony FX9 Dual Trigger Grips is a dual handgrip system that relocates the Sony FX9 camera grip to a comfortable hand grip position for shoulder rigs and gives you a sleek comfortable wooden handgrip on the left side. The Dual Trigger Grip system slides onto 15mm lightweight rods.

Our trigger grips are the most adjustable grips available. They allow for single-handed 360 Degree 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. This is also available in a single grip.

Note: This only works on the Sony FX9. You may need a LANC extension depending on your rig.

- Axis Mini -

The Axis Mini for Sony FX9 is the most adjustable EVF mount for the Sony FX9 LCD Monitor, giving you full 360 Degree motion with four adjustment points. Designed to attach to our Sony FS7/FX9 Top plate (Z-FS79), it leaves plenty of room at the lens for focusing and will work with the widest of lenses. It can easily be adjusted with one hand while the rig is on your shoulder. The Axis Mini has extensive articulation for use in a variety of positions, both shoulder mounted in a Next Generation Recoil or in tripod operating position. It is very small and quick to install and remove.

The Axis Mini for FX9 attaches to your rig via the included Sony FS7/FX9 Top plate (Z-FS79) which attaches to the FX9 body in front of the Sony top handle. Slide the Axis Mini into the extra 15mm rod port on the top plate and clamp into place. The Axis Mini for FX9 attaches to the Sony monitor via a secure rosette mount adapter. You can also attach this to any 1/4" 20 Rosette EVF like our Gratical Eye, Kameleon or Gratical HD EVFs.

The Axis Mini has three red tension levers that are controlled independently with 360 degree motion. Release all three levers to completely reposition the mount or release just one to make single segment adjustments. You can dial in the exact amount of tension needed at each lever to adjust on the fly. Just grab and move.
