Monitors

An on-board monitor transforms the shooting experience. The camera’s screen is now dedicated to control and menu selection. A 5” or 7” monitor enables the operator to concentrate on framing, focusing and image control. Monitors cover all price points and all shooting environments.

No bigger than a smartphone, Gnarbox 2.0 is an instant back-up device for SD cards. Its fast 1TB drive (256GB and 512GB also available) stores and protects all your video files. It supports H.264 and H.265 files playback over HDMI and previewing on connected mobile devices.

Audio

Attach microphone systems to the camera’s 3.5mm audio port:

Azden PRO-XR 2.4 GHz Wireless System	Azden SMX-30 Stereo/Mono Switchable Mic

Both options deliver huge flexibility and excellent audio quality without the need to invest in XLR adapters.

ND Filters

Large sensor cameras are famously superb in low light. In sunlight, however, they need the help of neutral density filters to limit the amount of light hitting the sensor and forcing the user to use uncomfortably small apertures.

Syrp Variable ND Filter 1-8 stops 67mm or 82mm versions	Syrp Dark Variable ND filter 5-10 stops 67mm or 82mm versions

Each filter comes with a set of step-up rings for maximum compatibility with your lenses.
