FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Munich) – Designed specifically for Canon’s latest Cinema EOS cameras, ARRI PCA introduces a new cine plate for film set environments, an adjustable broadcast plate for documentary-style filming and a handy top-mounted support plate.
ARRI’s range of Pro Camera Accessories (PCA) makes the benefits of ARRI-designed accessories available to cameras from other manufacturers. It comprises rugged, versatile and user-friendly tools that endow almost any third-party camera with film-style functionality, aligning it to universal industry working practices and giving it the durability to be used efficiently and effectively on professional sets everywhere.
Complementing the multi-component ARRI PCA shooting kits already available for Canon’s Cinema EOS cameras, three new accessories are being introduced that will allow the C300, C300 Mk II and C500 to be used in an even wider variety of professional shooting situations. First deliveries of these new items will commence in August 2015.
Broadcast Plate for Canon C300 / C300 Mk II / C500
Broadcast environments demand quick changes from tripod to shoulder and perfect balance when handheld. The Broadcast Plate for Canon C300 / C300 Mk II / C500 is compatible with VCT-style plates such as the ARRI QRP-1; it also offers a wide range of shoulder adjustments without affecting the placement of accessories fitted to the integrated 15 mm LWS rod system, making last-minute balance adjustments straightforward and comfortable.
