As we’ve come to expect from Redrock Micro, they’ve released another defining piece of camera equipment that will be useful to many shooters in the industry with their new Scout camera multi-tool. We spoke with Redrock’s Brian Valente for more on the Scout, as well as their new adjustable lens ring.
First of its Kind
The Scout is first of its kind ultra-portable camera multi-tool. It’s a universal cage and rig in one featuring a built-in microRemote Fingerwheel System that’s wireless ready. The Scout has a rail system when you need a cinema rig, or detach it for a super compact handheld setup. Quick-Change between rigs quickly (with the quick release system), even your gimbal. Integrated power keeps everything tight and self-contained.
Load-and-go, run-and-gun, point-and-shoot right out of the box. Scout is the ultimate self-contained rig for handheld mirrorless camera and DSLR video.
Features and Benefits
- Protect your camera with the precision-machined aluminum cage
- Enjoy exceptional stability and torque resistance
- Easy balancing with built-in multi-axis balance adjustments
- Wireless-ready – enables second person to pull focus remotely (just add the wireless handheld remote, sold separately)
