SHAPE Lightweight Matte Box and Follow Focus Kit for Panasonic Lumix GH6

The Camera Cage with 15mm LWS Rod System for Panasonic Lumix GH6 from SHAPE is a formfitting cage specifically designed for the Panasonic Lumix GH6. Made of CNC-machined aluminum, the cage offers multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes with anti-rotating ARRI hole patterns. The cage allows unobstructed access to all camera functions, including the memory card and battery compartment, side buttons, and the lens release button.

A 15mm LW rod baseplate system attaches underneath the cage with four M4 screws, and additional support is provided with a height-adjustable Metabones bracket that is included at the front of the baseplate. On the bottom of the baseplate are three threaded holes to facilitate the attachment of quick-release tripod plates for quick switching from tripod to shoulder rig configuration.

A full-size HDMI cable lock keeps your video cable securely in place, and the camera can be fully operated without having to remove the cable doors. Cold shoe mounting options are available on the included aluminum top handle, and for vertical shoots, a second handle can be attached to the sides of the cage.

Use the compact SHAPE Follow Focus Kit with Single 15mm Rod Clamp with your camera setup to make focus pulling easy. The modular design allows you to add and remove any of the components without screws or tools, and its small profile allows the addition of a matte box or accessories around your lens.

At the core of the kit is a rubber, anti-slip follow focus wheel attached to a single aluminum 15mm rod clamp. The clamp rotates to adjust to most lens sizes, and it's tightened by a locking lever. The clamp's rotation also allows the focus wheel to easily swing out of the way when changing lenses.

Five drive gears are included to fit a variety of lens sizes: 0.5 MOD/78T, 0.6 MOD/64T, 0.8 MOD/38T, 0.8 MOD/43T, and 0.8 MOD/78T. The gears can be flipped from front to back to facilitate different lens configurations. A 49mm rubber friction wheel is also included for the 0.5 MOD/78T gear which is most commonly used with DSLR lenses.

For alternate fine-focus configurations, use the included speed crank or 11" whip, both of which attach to the center point of the knob. Four magnetic marking disks are included to attach to the focus wheel.

Built with a rugged aluminum frame and a lightweight silicone shade for daily use on your camera rig, the Lightweight Matte Box with Single 4 x 4"/4 x 5.6" Filter Tray from SHAPE clamps onto 124mm diameter lenses, and it can adapt to different size lenses with the included lens adapter kit. The included filter tray fits one 4 x 4" or 4 x 5.6" filter.

There are stops at the bottom of the filter tray slot to prevent the filter from falling through, and it can be easily accessed using a quick release pin. One 124 to 87mm clamp-on adapter ring is included, as well as four threaded lens adapters to enable mounting the matte box on lenses with 67, 72, 77, or 82mm threads. Optional components are available separately, including a carbon fiber top flag, swing-away rod clamp, and clamp-on adapter rings such as 124 to 114, 104, 100, and 95mm.
