RigWheels has announced their new RigMount XL camera gimbal mount. The RigMount XL “provides a wide ‘stance’ which is ideal for the higher center of gravity associated when mounting a gimbal.”
From RigWheels:
RigMount XL is a robust mounting platform designed for mounting brushless gimbals. This configuration builds on the popularity of our RigMount X magnetic mount. Brushless gimbals have quickly become a regular part of on-location production and the RigMount XL provides a quick and secure way to get dynamic shots from vehicles.
The RigMount XL provides a wide “stance” which is ideal for the higher center of gravity associated when mounting a gimbal. The wider stance also helps distribute the weight of the gimbal and camera over a greater area so flex in body-panels is not an issue. This wider stance is also ideal for mounting larger camera rigs without a gimbal. Parts are precision machined from 6061 aluminum and machined to a tolerance of .001″.
As will all RigWheels products, there are many different ways you
can configure components depending on the shot you’re trying to get and the surface you’re mounting to. The RigMount XL shares some of the same components with our other mounting and dolly products so if you already own a system you may be able to upgrade to this configuration and vise versa, if you purchase this mount you will have the ability to upgrade to add more functionality.
The RigWheels RigMount XL will be available in September 2015 for $350-$750, depending on the features selected at purchase.
