Description Whether you’re going for a static shot on sticks, or are busting out the gimbal for a tracking shot; the Advanced Cine Kit for Blackmagic PYXIS provides everything that you need. Based around our Universal Dovetail system, it is easier than ever to shift your rig from mount to mount. No matter what the call sheet throws at you, the Advanced Cine Kit will be able to accommodate: with an array of accessory rigging options and quality-of-life components to make every take easier. Dependable Dovetail The base of the Advanced Cine Kit is our Universal Dovetail: a one-of-a-kind system with compatibility with both Manfrotto 501PL tripods and DJI RS 4 gimbals. Simply mount the PYXIS from the Universal Dovetail and seamlessly shoot from either tripods or gimbals, and move between them in moments. For heavier setups or larger lenses, the camera can slide back-and-forth – and the Dovetail includes a spring-loaded gear rack to help with balancing the camera. Integrated Baseplate We’ve also included our Create Baseplate in the Advanced Cine Kit: giving you extra flexibility for shooting. Mounting via any standard 1/4″ or 3/8” screws, the Create Baseplate is the ideal pairing for the Universal Dovetail. Slide your rig in and out of the baseplate at any time. Please note that the Create Baseplate will not be at the 15mm LWS standard height with the Universal Dovetail. Advanced Rigging Of course, the camera is just the canvas: depending on what your shoot requires, you’ll be decorating the PYXIS with a range of potential accessories. The Advanced Cine Kit helps you fulfil that potential with the PYXIS. With our dedicated PYXIS Top Plate and side-mounted Cheese Plate; you have a range of accessory mounting points from 1/4″ and 3/8” anti-twist threads to MAP M4 points and QD sockets. The Cheese Plate also doubles as a vertical adaptor: making it easy to shoot phone-friendly cinematic content. Easily Handled If a gimbal or tripod isn’t working for you, why not shoot handheld? The Advanced Cine Kit features our Create Top Handle, which mounts seamlessly to the PYXIS’ Top Plate for convenience and comfort. Ideal for carrying your camera, or shooting handheld, the Top Handle can be fitted with accessories via its own range of accessory mounts, or built up with our range of Master Handle Extensions. Rod Rigging The Advanced Cine Kit also includes two of our extendable 15mm Drumstix support rods: made from structural alloy aluminium for a balance of weight and strength. Use these with the Create Baseplate to mount lens supports or other accessories, or alternatively mount them from the top of the PYXIS via the included 15mm Rod Console. In either case, the Drumstix offer solid structural support for your setup. Part of the Blackmagic System Perfect your PYXIS with Bright Tangerine’s range of accessories and kits. Designed to be no-compromise solutions to practical filmmaking problems, each accessory is precision-engineered and field-tested, to help you create the perfect Blackmagic build.
