TRIPODS
About
The Manfrotto 405 3-Way geared pan and tilt head has a 16.5 lb load capacity and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. It includes an integrated RC4 quick release cam lock and a 410PL Quick Release Plate. RC4 compatible quick release plates such as the 410PL can removed from the head by pulling the cam lock's spring-loaded lever, which also allows the plate to be instantly reattached.
Cameras or accessories that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 or 3/16"-20 threaded mount can be connected to the 410PL Quick Release Plate, which measures 2.5 x 3.3 x 0.5" and has a rubberized, non-slip surface. The head can be rotated 360°, tilted 90° forwards or 30° backwards, as well as 90° sideways for portrait orientation. Each of these three movements function independently of each other and have individual, snap-lock knobs with easy-to-turn, fluted grips. Turning each snap-lock knob allows the corresponding movement to be rapidly adjusted, and once the knob is released, the adjustment is locked into place. An additional, rubberized knob set within each snap-lock knob allows incremental, geared adjustments, which help to ensure that any device mounted to the 405 head is precisely positioned relative to the subject.
To further promote fast and repeatable device positioning, the head also includes dedicated angle scales for each movement that are designed for easy visibility.

About
The PMG-DUO 4' slider combines both straight and curved tracks into a single slider body. This dual-action design lets you add traditional slider moves, or dynamic parabolic moves simply by flipping the slider.
If you want to use the curved side, mount the straight side on your tripod or stand, and the curved side will be on top. Likewise, mount the curved side on your tripod/stand, and the straight side will be on top. If you want to place the slider on the ground or other surface, the built-in legs on the ends adjust to support either side, curved or straight. Moreover, each leg is independently adjustable for leveling the slider on uneven terrain, and both fold for compact storage inside the included carrying case.
The PMG-DUO offers multiple mounting options. There's a 3/8"-16 threaded hole at the center of both the curved and straight sides, and there are also multiple 1/4"-20 threads across both sides. Additionally, 5/8" baby pin support is provided on both ends of the slider, in either curved or straight mode for mounting on stands.
For increased strength and durability, the tracks are CNC machined from a solid block of aircraft grade aluminum. The carriage clamps onto either the straight or curved sides of the track and features three aluminum wheels with precision roller bearings inside each wheel for low resistance and smooth sliding motion. A large knob releases the carriage from the track, for attachment to the other side, while a smaller knob locks it into place.

About
The Easyrig Cinema 3 is a body-worn support system for camera operators working in a handheld configuration. The system works by using a suspension line to support the weight of the gimbal rig, taking the load off of your shoulder, neck, and arm muscles, and distributing it across your torso. This lets you shoot for longer periods of time without worrying about arm fatigue. The system consists of the vest, shock absorber, and a standard support arm. The Cinema 3 is ideal for lighter-weight rigs, while the Vario 5 is optimal for larger camera builds.

The system works by using a suspension line to support the weight of the gimbal rig, taking the load off of your shoulder, neck, and arm muscles, and distributing it across your torso. The tension line is adjustable by turning a screw in the back, letting you dial in the appropriate amount of tension for your rig. The system consists of the gimbal rig vest, Vario 5 standard support bar, and a 9" extended support arm.
