C100: Need C100 MK II Rig Recommendations

[Scott Bastedo]

I'm looking to purchase two rigs for the C100 MK II. These would be for educational use. Both cameras would mostly be used in a studio environment and on sticks in the field, but we would like at least one to be able to use handheld or for ENG purposes. Both rigs need a matte box, follow focus (iris wheel would be nice as well), and some sort of cheese plate or cage for accessories. We also need an articulating arm, external monitor and loop or EVF. We use Anton Bauer batteries and plan on using an adapter, so it would be nice if the camera had a plate for them. We must spend around $2500 for each rig, but may have a little extra if it goes over. Thanks.

Years ago I bought the Tilta Universal Shoulder Rig kit for use with my DSLR cameras. Recently I purchased a C200 and found that the Tilta setup works well with it too. B&H sells this kit now for $1,380:

The cage is height adjustable and the C200 just fits, height of the C200 is about 6". The cage can be removed if necessary to fit taller cameras or to lighten the rig.

Some of the components can be seen in this review with a C300:

The kit is well made, the FF is fluid dampened and has virtually no play. The shoulder baseplate is compatible with Sony VCT-14 type mounting plates.
