MCS StudioCam Bundle

$3,350.00 $3,015.00

The Studio Cam was designed for tripod shooting with an EVF. The patent pending EVF leveling system allows the camera operator to tilt the camera up and down with minimal movement on the EVF eyepiece. While not a new concept in the 35mm film world, this is the first EVF leveler designed for the DSLR and smaller form factor cameras. The EVF leveler greatly simplifies the camera operators job as it requires much less head movement than a hard mounted EVF solution.

Note: The current MCS line was developed around the Canon 5D/7D by Shane Hurlbut over the last several years. This does NOT limit the system to these two cameras. The whole concept behind MCS is modularity. The camera becomes the least important piece of the puzzle. All you have to do to convert MCS to outfit a different camera platform is replace the cage and camera. We offer a full line of custom camera cages, both powered and non-powered, for current and future cameras.
