The CAME-TV Terapin Rig Follow Focus Matte Box GH5 GH4from CAME-TV Terapin Rig Follow Focus Matte Box GH5 GH4is a comprehensive camera support and power kit. Built around a power breakout box with a variety of camera and accessory connectors, this rig transforms your GH5/4 camera into a complete shoulder-mounted setup. This Terapin Rig is comprised of a baseplate with 15mm and 11mm rod pairs, a power distribution box, a single-side follow focus, a matte box with flags and donuts, a Start/Stop trigger handle, a dummy battery, and a Sony L-series type battery plate.

The versatile breakout box at the heart of this rig transfers your camera's power, video, and audio signals to a larger, more accessible interface. It draws power from a single Sony L-series type battery and distributes that power to multiple devices simultaneously. The breakout box sports an SDI video output (BNC), two 7.2V accessory ports, and the battery plate. Audio features include one XLR audio input with 48V phantom power, and a 3.5mm headphone jack with a volume control knob.

The LWS baseplate supports 15mm rod-based accessories, including the single-side follow focus and the swing-away matte box. The soft shoulder pad attaches to the 11mm rods mounted to the rear of the baseplate. Additional rig components include a microphone clamp, a right angle HDMI adapter, two audio cables, a DC power cable, an HDMI type A cable, and an HDMI type A to type D (micro) cable.
