Zacuto Z-S7R Overview

The Sony FS7 Recoil Kit from Zacuto is a shoulder-mounted rig includes the VCT Pro Baseplate and our Axis Mini for Sony FS7 which can be used with either the Gratical EVFs or the Sony monitor. You can relocate the Sony camera grip to the side of the VCT Pro Baseplate via M6 rosette for optimal usability and comfort. The rig is designed for optimal balance and comfort when shoulder-mounted or on a tripod. With lenses and cameras being similar weights, the balance point is where the lens meets the camera body.

The VCT Pro Baseplate has a sliding top plate for quickly removing the camera from the rig or fast length changes. It also has a built-in, curved shoulder pad, a V-wedge tripod connector, a removable and extendable 6.5 "iris rods and rows of 1/4" -20 screw holes along the sides for accessories. With quick release 15mm rod parts in the rear and recessed rod mount, this rig offers maximum accessory capable space under your camera lens.

The Axis Mini Mount attaches to the 15mm rod port on the Sony FS5 Top Plate to mount either a rosette mounted EVF like the Gratical HD or the Sony monitor (sold separately).

VCT Pro baseplate
With built-in ergonomic shoulder pad, 10 "sliding track, extra space for accessories in front, VCT14-compatible V-wedge, red buttons and levers all around, and much more, this is the stylish VCT Pro Baseplate from Zacuto. Use it with all types of cameras, from DSLRs to larger models, like the Alexa.
A section of the baseplate extends out beyond the 15mm LWS rod adapter in front. With the rod adapter thus set back, you have additional space to mount accessories under the camera lens, allowing you to position the camera further back on the plate, keeping the balance point of your rig directly over your shoulder. (The rod adapter is vertically adjustable 1 ", and has to be in a raised position to allow for accessories to be mounted in the additional space. Also, a 1.8" riser for the rod adapter is optionally available for RED cameras by special order from Zacuto.) Also, on the bottom of the section that protrudes out is where the V-wedge is. There is also a 15mm LWS rod adapter on the rear.
The VCT Pro Baseplate features a 10 "sliding track, providing the space to optimally adjust balance after every lens change. Moreover, the included red camera plate can be loosened by a spring-loaded lever instead of a screw, so you can make adjustments quickly and easily. To fully release and remove the plate (and camera), just press a red button on the side of the baseplate and slide the plate out. The rod ports also have spring-loaded levers.
An ARRI M6 rosette is available on the front for attaching accessories and grips, and there are also three 1/4 "-20 threaded holes on the side providing additional mounting options. 1/4" -20 and 3/8 "-16 tripod mount holes are available on the bottom to use instead of the V-wedge. The shoulder pad runs pretty much along the entire length as well as width of the baseplate, and is made of gel polymer. Two 6.5 "15mm rods are included. One 1/4 "-20 and one 3/8" -16 screw are supplied for the camera plate. The VCT Pro Baseplate is made in the USA.
