Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this include the Camera itself or just the accessories?

A: The camera is not included.

Q: 2. Will this support a Canon 1DX?

A: Unfortunately the Redrock Micro ultraCage Scout HX only supports cameras up to 125mm in height. Canon's EOS-1D X is measured at 164mm tall. The EOS-1D X Mark II and Mark III are measured at 166mm.

Q: 3. This is for 2 rods, correct?

A: Hi Nikos !! This question slipped through our net through B&H, but we've got it now. The pricing is for a pair of Carbon Fibre Rods.Thanks for your interest!Anthony

Q: 4. Will this item connect to B&H # RE81290002 with a C100 on it? Thanks.

A: Yes. I run this matte box with the Red Rock Black Cage on a C100. It's a sweet set up. This is a big matte box. It might be a little big to run on a shoulder mount, but everything is compatible.

Q: 5. The design by the photograph seems as if I would not be able to use the electronic viewfinder in conjunction with this cage. It seems to me that either the screw on top of the hot shoe or the rod holding the motor will poke you in the forehead if you try to put your eye to the electronic viewfinder. Is that true? Or am I just imagining it?

A: This will vary depending on the camera you use. However this product was designed with using the LCD Screen on a camera in mind more so than the viewfinder. It may not be as easy to get your eye up to the viewfinder as it normally would be with this cage.

Q: 6. I have been struggling using this on 6.5 rods, the mattebox does not slide freely down the rods, it stops at the end of the rods because the up and down adjustment does not go high enough. Does anyone have a solution to this, other than getting shorter rods?

A: I've had the same issue unfortunately, and my solution has been exactly that-- shorter rods, which is annoying to have to have different size rods depending on the lens being used.

Q: 7. The description says it fits 4x 4 filters as well is this correct?

A: Hi, yes it does

Q: 8. The Deluxe bundle was supposed to come with the universal donut, yet mine did not. Anyone else get the donut package instead of the universal donut as advertised?

A: Mine came with the foam donut set, as well as a universal donut which looks more like a hood. It's a soft fabric with a draw string on one end. Perhaps it's there and you just expected it to look like something different?

Q: 9. How reliable is this?And can we map the focus throw to whatever degrees we want? i.e. a lens with a 240 degree throw we can map it to 90 degrees on the thumbwheel?

A: Very! And by that I am assuming you mean repeatable. It's also extremely solidly built, so it won't just break down into bits while you use it. Mine had a bit of motor jitter, which annoyed me. But Redrock support was extremely helpful and pointed out to me that you can in fact control the amount of torque on the motor so I managed to dial it down to a point where I am now extremely happy with the responsiveness.Regarding remapping the throw of your lens, it actually works the other way. No matter what the throw of your lens, the Scout will remap it to 270 degrees. It would have been cool if they allowed us some control on the remapped angle, but in practice I have seen it doesn't really matter, because most of the time you don't really rack focus from infinity to the minimum distance your lens supports. You only need half that ability in most cases, and even less if you are following some form of action, like a dance or a group of actors etc.

Q: 10. Hi all, and especially any Sony FS7 users: With the clamp-on option, would this be acceptable to clamp onto the bundled FS7 zoom lens, or too heavy for the lens mount or in the way of the viewfinder? Thanks!

A: I think it might be too heavy especially with two filters, I have a FS7 and I use this with the Zacuto VCT Universal base plate that has rails. I found the shoulder rest on the FS7 was not that great, also the baseplate works with my old sony quick release plate. Mounting the matte box to the rails is quick and easy.
