This particular model is now discontinued. It was excellent, and loved by thousands of customers, however we have changed the design to work WITH and WITHOUT the XLR Audio Handle. See the website at www.rigid.pro for its replacement.

Was waiting for the cineback to become in stock, then randomly came across this video…ordered it immediately. Pumped to get it in!

[@iwasakisony13]

Did you receive it?

[@btconnergaming]

yeah just got it in, really well made!@@iwasakisony13

Let me know I’m same as your case but need to know the follow up

Just ordered mine! Can't wait for it to arrive (hopefully not too long) was initially going to wait for the cineback but someone recommended this, so glad they did!

[@DB07OUR]

How much are they ?

[@justjean9500]

@@DB07OUR It was around $275 but they're located in Australia so shipping takes a good while going through customs. So I'm still waiting. Just something to consider.

[@DB07OUR]

@justjean9500 thank you for getting back to me, looks better than my gopro though I will try sub to your channel and see how your footage turns out if that's ok 👍, Take care, #b15dov #db07our

[@justjean9500]

@@DB07OUR Yeah for sure. I'll be honest though this channel is sort of all over the place but eventually I'll clean it up. Once I get all my parts in I do plan on doing a gear video though so I'll be sure to share some shots as well.

[@EmileModesitt]

Really nice work!! Much better design you did by maintaining (and supporting) the xlr top handle. Would love to see some designs for a7 series cameras, either with the xlr top handle (small rig makes an adapter that lets you mount it on those camera with their cages) or with the xlr-k3m somehow integrated in a convenient spot (ideally not blocking the usage of a separate top handle).

[@RigidPRO]

Thanks for the feedback - we really appreciate it! We have lots in the development stages and look forward to shipping these (starting next week) and expanding our range as our customer base grows. Keep the feedback and ideas coming!

[@RigidPRO]

We've released the A7sIII/A7IV model: rigid.pro/products/sony-a7siii-a7iv-cinema-rig-base-standard-edition No audio options just yet.

[@EmileModesitt]

Amazing, thank you!

[@marcr4349]

Sorry i waited so long to post here. I received mine about 3 weeks ago and it was easily my best purchase yet. The weight distribution is bang on with the Smallrig99 vmount battery, and my footage is much more stable. Really easy shooting handheld now and I find myself using the gimbal less too. Well done Rigidpro. Best upgrade to teh Fx3 you can buy IMO.

[@RigidPRO]

We love this feedback, which echoes so many others! Thanks for sharing!

[@iwasakisony13]

How long did the shipment took?

This is so nice Caleb may get one 🤣

[@justinhatchvisuals]

wow amazing! I was wanting to get the cineback, but I might get this one instead! Thank you!

[@RigidPRO]

Excellent, you can choose between top handle or standard models here: rigid.pro/collections/camera-rig-bases

[@justinhatchvisuals]

@RigidPRO thank you. I would prefer getting the one with the top handle! I guess we will see other companies following your design shortly. Amazing design. I will definitely do a review when it comes in.

Is this compatible with other vmount batteries?

[@RigidPRO]

it will work with any v-mount battery@@TvBoxHead

[@heymanhn]

I missed the latest cineback pre-order by 15 minutes so I ended up getting this instead!

[@RigidPRO]

You won’t be disappointed!

[@kayizijoel1167]

Now that UVC is supported on iPad, and Monitoring and IP Encoder Apps being developed, I believe many people would adopt using iPad as monitor and Encoder. I suggest you add usb-c hub and a usb capture card. The capture card connects to the hub and the hub connects to the iPad. The importance of having a Multiport USB Hub in between and not simply having USB Capture Card connecting to the iPad, is to allow things like Ethernet connection, Adding multiple USB LTE dongles for bonded connection when streaming and useful to have HDMI output from the iPad itself, therefore a USB Hub is useful. I wonder if this is something you would try to build. Otherwise am super excited about the functionality Rig for the ZV E1.

[@RigidPRO]

You can already use D-Tap to USB adaptors which we recommend for powering camera. There is only so much real estate available without making the camera bases unnecessarily bigger. The ZV-E1 is not currently on our roadmap for new product development.

[@DokoGaTV]

Will there be version like this for the A7 one as well?

[@DavinciHD_]

On the website its shows them almost sold out? Will anymore of these be produced or is It over when the lat one is sold?

[@RigidPRO]

They are made in batches and it’s been hard to keep up with the demand. They do sell out and it can be anywhere between days and weeks before stock is available again. If you’re thinking of purchasing do it while there is stock showing to avoid delays or disappointment. We just received more stock of the Standard Edition today, but there is no ETA for the Top Handle version currently.

[@onavisionmedia]

Can this work with another cage like a small rig

[@RigidPRO]

This model works exclusively with the highly stable 8sinn cage. We wanted to release a product that would be reliable for many years in the field and the 8sinn allows the top handle with our design and is very stable.

[@Rumen.Aleksandrov]

Are you planning to make it for other cameras as well?

[@RigidPRO]

Yes we have some models in development now.

[@RigidPRO]

[@Beastmasterx]

is the handle plastic?

[@RigidPRO]

Carbon fibre reinforced material. PET-CF.

[@Ksyntaylor]

This looks similar to the cineback build; is there any difference between this and their version?

[@RigidPRO]

We haven't physically seen the other one - but aside from the obvious which is that this works with the Sony Top Handle, it's also produced from High Temp Resistant and UV stable PET-CF - which is a carbon fibre composite. Other filaments may warp on a hot afternoon shoot in the sun (wedding etc), or worse, deform if left in a hot car. It makes it extremely tough and durable. It also includes a LCD Voltmeter so you can see quickly what voltage is coming from your V-mount battery. Overall it's very solidly built, and the weighting feels amazing in your hand.

[@Ksyntaylor]

@@RigidPRO wow, thanks for the reply! I look forward to getting my hands on one!!

[@kells2305]

What cage is being used on with this cinema rig? I don't see any reference anywhere. I want to ensure I have everything i need when I purchase. Thanks!

[@Superjeanmarc]

What's wrong with your Cineback? At least Cineback is compatible with Smallrig and Tital Cages.. (Seems really that Rigid totally ripped off the design of Cineback though..) @fishvisionsmedia

[@TvBoxHead]

@fishVisions is your fx3 firmware updated? If so are you getting the weird battery notification when you turn on the camera with the cineback rig attached? Its the only thing discouraging me from buying one.

[@FishVisions]

@@TvBoxHead yes, any kind of battery that’s not the original small Sony battery you will get that notification. Vmount or any 3rd party battery

[@AnthonyYbarra11]

Where on the body can you charge the rig

[@RigidPRO]

The V-mount battery (detachable and not supplied) when connected, can be used to either power the camera (d-tap to dummy battery), or you can use a d-tap to USB-C connected to the camera to keep the camera battery charged. Let us know if you need more information.

[@mstanciuprod]

I use dtap to DC for my mointor

Why?!
