ECC Tools DSLR bracket



Now here's a DSLR rig that makes sense!  I spotted this in the O'connor booth as a prototype.  I am already a fan of the concept of the ViewFactor cage, and this takes it to the next level.  Much better ergonomics, carrying handle, space for accessories, and distribution for everything.  It also has a built-in HDMI to SDI converter so there's a real, direct output from the rig itself.  The working prototype also had a V-mount battery mounted at the back end of the handle that powered the entire rig and added balance.  It does get heavy when fully dressed, but its an understandable compromise for the sake of functionality, simplicity and ergonomics.
