What's Included:
Documentary filmmaking doesn’t have to be a challenge. With the Advanced Documentary Kit for Blackmagic PYXIS, it isn’t: whether you’re on the road capturing grounded action as it happens, or setting up sweeping landscape shots, this collection of camera gear is ready to go.
Using our Universal Dovetail for compatibility with a huge range of mounts, the Advanced Documentary Kit is suited to a range of shooters.
Ready for Anything
If you are juggling a complex shot lists with multiple shot types, then the Advanced Documentary Kit is the best PYXIS cage for reducing downtime. Based around our Universal Dovetail, you can quickly and easily load your camera onto Manfrotto tripods, DJI gimbals, and other compatible mounts. This keeps your setup light and nimble, with tool-free transfers from mount to mount.
Seamless Shoulder Shooting
For that more grounded and authentic filmmaking style, keep mobile with our Create Shoulder Rig – included in the Advanced Documentary Kit. Compatible with the Universal Dovetail, this lightweight and adjustable shoulder rig is perfect for run-and-gun PYXIS shooters. When you want to move back to static shooting, you can mount the entire setup via the Create Shoulder Rig’s integrated VCT-14 tripod mount.
Easily Handled
If a gimbal or shoulder rig isn’t working for you, why not shoot handheld? The Advanced Documentary Kit features our Create Top Handle, which mounts seamlessly to the PYXIS’ Top Plate for convenience and comfort. Ideal for carrying your camera, or shooting handheld, the Top Handle can be fitted with accessories via its own range of accessory mounts, or built up with our range of Master Handle Extensions.
Deep Customisation
For actually building out your Blackmagic body, the Advanced Documentary Kit features a range of accessory mounting points. The dedicated Top Plate and Cheese Plate each feature an array of 1/4" and 3/8” anti-twist mounting threads; along with MAP M4 points, QD sockets and an ARRI rosette. There is also an added 15mm Rod Console for adding lens motors or EVFs, and the Cheese Plate doubles as a vertical adaptor – in case you were wanting to post some footage to your social channels.
