You’ve just dropped a few grand for a new Canon 5D Mk II and while you are waiting for it to arrive, your mind is wondering if you will be the next big name in movie making right?  If that is you then you need the new Zacuto Filmmaker Baseplate Kit. The Zacuto DSLR Filmmaker Kit allows for tripod and shoulder mount use of your DSLR camera for smooth, comfortable shooting.Zacuto kits allow users to make DSLR’s work much like camcorders. The rig can be easily balanced with a few quick adjustments and gives DSLR cameras the stability of a larger shoulder-mounted camera, which will produce smoother shots. The combination of the height adjustable Universal Baseplate and Z-Spacer allows you to mount any matte box and the Z-Focus. The Z-spacer not only raises the camera but also moves it forward so the lens mount is over the rods. You can mount any matte box, but you can make your matte box a swing away matte box by using the Zwing-away adapter included in the kit. The key features of the DSLR Filmmaker kit is the ability to mount a Beachtek audio adapter (DXA-5D), a special unit for the Canon 5D Mark II with audio meters and a headphone jack for monitoring audio; and control the levels of your outboard microphones easily. You can also mount an on-board monitor for both handheld and tripod use.

So call up Santa and add this complete rig to your Christmas list. Oh yeah, and it will only set you back $4,930.
