ergocine flyweight rig

We are doing a redesign of the Blade and Top handle 
they will be finished at the end of the weekend.
So watch this space.




The ergocine flyweight rig, offers a affordable, highly configurable, aesthetically pleasing, ergonomically designed camera support system.   The flyweight is ambidextrous  you can flip from left-handed and right-handed simply by rotating the blade 180°.The  rigs components are constructed of black cherry or black walnut hardwood with (2) 1/4 – 20 female receivers per mounting point creating a, no slip, high strength mount.


Shown with the 6" top handle.

Flyweight rig components: 
the blade, top handle and the 2 sphere grip. 

The "blade" is a left right reversible shoulder mount with 4  paired 1/4 20  mounting points, each point allows you to mount the bracket on the horizontal or vertical axes.



 The "top handle" comes in a variety of lengths (6 8 &10 inches you choice) depending our your EVF configuration.  If the length is not right when you receive it we will happily swap it out at no cost.


A low cost version of the BWG the "2 sphere grip" offers similar functionality at a fraction of the cost. The main difference being the bracket terminates in a rough surface with no Arri rosette relying on a friction connection.  

Check the ergocine flyweight rig page for a limited time introductory package price and a la carte pricing.  Please note that rods, brackets, cameras and battery plates are for illustration only.  If you wish you can get the Cool LCD 15mm rod clamp from us at cost.


Both Small Rig and Wooden Camera make the necessary bracket.

16 x 9 base plate and dove tail for the C300


















The 16 x 9 base plate for the C300 works perfectly to balance the Lion - R2.




You can see where I notched out the wood so the base plate would fit.
