Why should I use a full or half camera cage on my setup?

Camera cages protect your camera body from drop impacts while providing structural support for heavy cinema lenses. They add multiple 1/4"-20, 3/8"-16, cold shoe, and NATO rail mounting points to attach top handles, external monitors, wireless transmitters, micro-recorders, and cable clamps.

What is the difference between 15mm LWS and 19mm Studio rod systems?

15mm LWS (Lightweight Support) is the industry standard for handheld, mirrorless, and compact cinema setups, placing rods 60mm apart center-to-center. 19mm Studio systems feature thicker rods spaced 104mm apart to support heavy optical setups, matte boxes, and large zoom lenses on full-scale cinema rigs.

What are the benefits of adding a follow focus and zoom control system?

Manual or wireless follow focus and zoom controllers allow camera operators or focus pullers to make smooth, repeatable focal pulls and focal length adjustments without touching the lens barrel directly. This prevents camera shake, enables hard stop marks, and ensures consistent focus precision during video shoots.

What mounting standards are commonly used for rigging accessories?

Common mounting interfaces include standard 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads (often with ARRI locating pins to prevent twisting), NATO rails for rapid lever-clamp attachment, Arca-Swiss plates for quick mounting to tripods and gimbals, and Rosette mounts for adjustable handgrips.
