Game On with the Florida Panthers
The Florida Panthers, ice hockey champions and holders of the coveted Stanley Cup, are any content creator’s dream team. As the reigning champions, you not only get to shoot high-profile trophy winners, but the trophies themselves. So when DP Bill Kerner and his crew set out to shoot promotional content for this top team, they turned to Bright Tangerine to help construct their rig. We caught up with Joe Nicklo, camera operator for the shoot, to hear how our products supported them to create the perfect camera setup.
Shooting on the RED Komodo with an ARRI Alura Fujinon 18-80mm T/2.6 lens, the team’s heavy camera-lens combo needed to be securely supported. Nicklo explained what he used – and why he needed to use it:
“I chose to go with Bright Tangerine products to build out this camera package because I know that I can trust their quality and durability.
Using heavy, expensive glass means that I need to support that lens — and with the Komodo having a native RF mount, I needed to use the Metabones PL adapter. The Bright Tangerine Support Bracket for the PL adapter ensured that there was no play or wiggle in the lens mount. Taking the support a step further, I went with the Bright Tangerine Marr 19mm Lens Support. I also used the Kasbah handle to provide additional grip for controlling the camera on the O’Connor head.
Rounding out the rest of the camera build was a Misfit Kick matte box with a 135mm Frame Safe Adapter, the BT cage and baseplate system with 19mm studio drumsticks and my trusty Titan Arm to support the Small HD monitor.“

The shoot was part of the Panthers’ promotion for the upcoming season, to be used as part of the team’s video content for home games and broadcasts. Kerner and the team shot short-form video of top team members such as Sam Reinhart, Aleksander Barkov and Sergei Bobrovsky; as well as the Stanley Cup itself.
