DSLR RIG REVIEW

by Sebastian WöberJanuary 23^rd, 2010

Cinevate Tripod Setup

The Cinevate rig was very slow to work with and caused many compability issues. Although nice looking and at some parts innovative, like the movable baseplate, single rod follow focus, or hardstops, it eventually fails to be well thought out in detail and reliability.
We don’t think the quality of these products is up to the task of filmmaking and therefore cannot recommend this rig with a DSLR camera.
