The second you pick up a new camera, the pain starts: finding out what parts work, what parts don’t, and trying to damage-control how much expensive gear you’ll have to throw away. Never again: with the OpenRig™ Advanced Kit, you’ve got a rig that is ready for any camera, anywhere. Take the strain off your camera body with the unique camera-agnostic design, and get the same satisfaction from the perfect build as you do from the perfect shot.

Pick up the OpenRig™ Advanced Kit today: your ACs will thank you for it.

Easy Rigging

From ARRI to Z Cam, the Halo Universal Camera Cage gives you as many options for rigging as there are unpaid invoices on your hard drive. There are 1/4" and 3/8” screw threads, each with anti-twist points. There are integrated NATO rails on the top and sides. There are QD sockets, Cold Shoe mounts, MAP M4 points. If you’re wondering “will the Halo work with this?”, the answer is yes every time.

Camera-Agnostic

Your camera is one of the most expensive things you own (or rent). Avoid putting strain on it with the OpenRig™ Advanced Kit, where you rig the cage, not the camera. The ultra-strong design of the Halo can take the weight of the bulkiest accessories without breaking a sweat, reducing the stress on your camera body – and you. The OpenRig™ Rail also features dual NATO rails – giving you even more options for rigging.

No Gatekeeping

AC dropped out at the last minute? With the Halo, you don’t need to painstakingly rehash all the little quirks of your rig from camera prep. You don’t need to carry around a dozen Hex Keys and remember exactly what order to mount the different parts of your cage: just clip it onto the OpenRig™’s NATO rails and get back to shooting.

Seamless Setups

Whether you’re fixed on sticks or perfecting your ninja-walk, the OpenRig™ Advanced Kit is ready to assist. The base of the OpenRig™ Rail can mount directly to Manfrotto tripods and DJI RS gimbals – with a spring-loaded gear rack to help balance on gimbals like the RS 4. If you’re wanting something even more straightforward, use the bolt-on screw threads to fix your OpenRig™ in place – then quick-release the rest of your gear as needed.

Expand Your Vision

We’ve got a range of extras to help make the most of your new OpenRig™ setup. Prop up your lens mount with our Lens Adaptor Support, or bring your whole rig up to the 15mm LWS height standard via the range of Risers. The OpenRig™ system is full of possibilities – these are just some of them. We give you the canvas, but the paint strokes are all yours.

Quick-Release Convenience

Need to go handheld, or grab a quick still? The combination of Arca Riser and Receiver lets you quickly detach the camera from your setup, and take it anywhere else. The winged-lever clamp can be loosened for a clean lift-off, and re-attached effortlessly.

Balanced Builds

Whether you’re working with a bulky prime lens or a svelte setup, you can keep your rig balanced and ready for anything. The Arca Base features a built-in safety which engages with the Picatinny-style NATO rails on the OpenRig™ Rail – for precise balancing for any build. If you want to just slide back-and-forth without triggering it every time, the safety can swing up and stay out of your way: simply push and twist the orange safety button. There’s also a built-in bubble level on the Arca Receiver, to help remove any unwanted Dutch angles. 

Part of the OpenRig™ System

Make rigging easier. With the OpenRig™ system from Bright Tangerine, you can learn one system, once – but have endless possibilities. Whether you need a run-and-gun rig for a documentary or a full cine build, the OpenRig™ system has the solution.
