Zacuto. A recommendation.

OK I don't normally start a thread just to praise a company but on this occassion, take a bow Zacuto. I have seen their ads on here and decided to have a look around their online store. After spending an hour or so going through all their gear, I decided to make a purchase with them.

I ordered the base plate, red plate, noga arm for my Marshall monitor, 12 inch rods, the double mount with 10 inch rods and a wireless plate.

Total was about $1400. I placed the order last Wednesday and they contacted me an hour later to tell me the Noga arm was out of stock but a shipment was due in the next day. And true to their word I got email confirmation that the shipment had been sent and Fedex were on their way to me.

Well I got a call on Saturday from Fedex telling me I was to pay £163 duty and VAT before they would deliver, but they are now with me and all I can say is, the quality of this gear is truly superb. The base plate is a joy to behold and I am going to be very sorry when it gets its first scratches! Lightweight and beautifully engineered. Well done to Zacuto.

Just one thing. I found the rods, when joined together, were not long enough for my M2 and a Vocas MB350 mattebox. So today I placed an order for a few more bits, and yes I have already received info that the gear is on its way.

I can only highly recommend Zacuto and their service.

I've worked with Zacuto in the past.
Before the HVX200 was released we did some workflow
tests together. Good guys.
 
I bought all my gears from Zacuto, and they are the best. Steve is responsive and doesn't try to get you to buy the most expensive gears, but what's right for you and your budget, which I appreciate. They also test everything the sell for the HVX, so you know it's the best and it will fit. Great company, a pleasure to deal with.
 
Totally agree. Received my rails, baseplate etc. Unwrapping it was fun, all these beautifully engineered pieces. Sticking it all together is a lesson in precision tool making, and the assembled creation lay frustratingly on my desk for 2 days untill my HVX returned from rental to try out. However this meant I could examine it everytime I walked by. You get what you pay for.

And it's Utd colours, so I couldn't ask for more really...
