-I spent a lot of money on Red Rock to make my original C300 useable.
-Chrosziel existed way before the dslr/large sensor digital cam revolution.
-Berkey Systems: He builds good stuff. I have his top plate and handles on my F55, still today.
-He who shall not be named…. Lolrogar-BlackEye(DBG
-Zacuto: around before the “revolution’, too. I still have and use some of their stuff designed for broadcast cams and real film gear/accessories.
-Can’t comment on the rest
I have a few of those RRM 15mm 90 degree adapters but can never find ways to use them. It's like they solved a problem a long time ago but can't exist in today's world.
It seems like Chrosziel doesn't have much presence today? Or at least they don't make as much marketing noise.
I had a Berkey top plate and handle for my fs100, that camera was tough work!
There's much less of a need for the zacuto fit outs these days. They were pretty smart not joining the race to the bottom on pricing. It'd be cool to have small rig's library but with zacuto's quality.
I can't remember but I'm pretty sure Jem Schofield used to do an episode per day on his blog - the c47 (before having youtube channels was normal). He put out a huge amount of content and is really knowledgeable, he also does official Canon cinema camera tutorials (for Canon) etc. I haven't watched in years but poor Jem used to always be standing out in the cold sharing valuable information - definitely ahead of the times for vlogging but didn't have much of a chance of exploding as a "cool" YT channel.
