Halo Universal Base Kit

Description

All you’ll ever need: the Halo Universal Base Kit is a complete camera cage system that works with any camera system. Featuring a range of accessory mounting options, the combination of the universal Halo and our Universal Dovetail means that you can quickly and easily set any camera up, anywhere.

Seamlessly transitioning from gimbals to tripods, or anywhere else, the Halo Universal Base Kit helps streamline your setup; so you can have the cleanest and most efficient camera cage.

A Lifetime of Compatibility

With the Halo Universal Camera Cage, any camera can be set up for rigging in moments. The Halo forms a square around the camera body, striking a balance between clearance for large cameras and a compact form factor. You can use any camera (though smaller cameras may need to be elevated with our quick-release Riser that can be found in the Universal Base Kit for Small Cameras).

Dovetail Design

Complete the cage with our Universal Dovetail, which mounts via the included 15mm LWS Rod Bracket to form a base for any camera. The Dovetail is the only one of its kind to have dual compatibility with Manfrotto tripods and DJI gimbals, allowing you to seamlessly transition from mount to mount.

Clean Rigging

Wrapping around your camera body, the Halo offers a huge range of accessory mounting points for you to use. Along with industry-standard screw threads (1/4” and 3/8”), the Halo also offers MAP and QD sockets, a cold shoe mount and NATO rails. Able to take up to 10kg of load without flexing, you have huge scope for accessorising your rig.

By Filmmakers, For Filmmakers

The Halo Universal Base Kit makes professional camera setups more accessible. You don’t need a dozen different Hex Keys or a batch of dedicated risers or spacers: everything fits together cleanly and efficiently onto 15mm support rods – which are included in the Kit.

Built to Last

Our Halo Kits are designed and engineered to the highest standards of quality, making them long-lasting camera rigging solutions. Our Drumstix are made from a durable structural alloy with extendable ends, and the rest of the kit is made from aerospace-grade anodised aluminium. Lightweight yet still resistant to wear-and-tear and rough treatment, the Halo Base Kit will be a constant companion in your filmmaking journey.

Part of the Halo System

The Halo is our best universal camera cage: offering total freedom and scope for customisation in a single package. Ideal for filmmakers with constantly changing setups, the Halo provides a consistent starting point for any camera and any rig.

Compatibility
