The Striker is light and easy to handle. It has three points of contact by having one hand on the handgrip, the gunstock in your chest and your focusing hand on the lens. You can add a recommended fourth point of contact with one of our Z-Finders or with an EVF via an EVF Gorilla Plate Bracket.
The Zacuto Gorilla Plate V2 attaches to the bottom of your camera using the standard tripod screw hole. The Gorilla Plate V2 has a 15mm rod port on the underside which allows you to attach the main rod for the Striker rig. The rig can be freed from the Gorilla Plate V2 by flipping the red ratcheting lever. A tripod plate can be installed under the Gorilla Plate V2 for quickly moving from handheld to tripod. The handgrip, gunstock, and camera mount can all be adjusted independently and move along the horizontal rod independently. It is infinitely adjustable and can be built upon to create some of our larger kits like the Cross Fire.
The Striker cannot accommodate a follow focus or matte box as it does not have a full baseplate with rails. If you’re looking for a kit with these accessories, we recommend checking out our Cinema DSLR Kits that have a shoulder pad and counterbalance weight to properly balance the rig.
