The SYMPLA 80mm Horizontal Offset component allows two sets of SYMPLA Rods to be joined off-centre. The most common use is connecting the SYMPLA padded shoulder mount on short rods with a pair of long rods holding a RC2 Mount so that the camera viewfinder or LCD screen can be more comfortably positioned & the weight of the camera & rig more rgonomically distributed. ...

Every person is different in height & build, & when it comes down to something as critical as a professional video rig, everyone has their own preferences for comfort & support. The handles are where the ergonomics & positioning flexibility of SYMPLA really come into play: mounted on ball joints (inspired by Manfrotto’s professional photographic heads), they can quickly be set wider, closer, vertically, horizontally or at any intermediate angle, rotated 360°... even upside-down – in whatever position you find most stable & most comfortable. SYMPLA Adjustable Handles are fitted on a Universal Mount by two flyout arms that can be angled independently to bring the handles closer together or set them farther apart. The handles pivot on ball joints for easier adjustment: a twist of the single locking dial on each handle loosens or blocks all movement, allowing them to be rotated freely & quickly set at the exact position & angle required. The handles can be set in customary vertical or near-vertical positions, but also horizontally like motorbike handlebars. When a SYMPLA rig is mounted on a video head, the handles can be used as double pan bars. SYMPLA Adjustable Handles can be inverted & used upside down if more comfortable & convenient for the particular rig set-up. The PVC-free Adjustable Handles are supplied with two metal spacers that can be fitted between the handle & ball joint to lengthen the arms. The same spacers also adapt the handles for use with Manfrotto’s clamp & joystick remote control units: use a single spacer at the top of both arms if using the Clamp-On HDSLR Remote Control; if using the Deluxe HDSLR Remote Control in place of one of the Adjustable Handles, both spacers should be fitted at the top of remaining handle to make it the same length.

SYMPLA's Camera Body Support & Lens Support help create a more stable, vibration-free platform for shooting. Filming with long telephoto lenses on HDSLR cameras or camcorders means using the lens L-bracket as the connection between camera & rig, which creates a less than ideal weight distribution & means that the slightest movement or touch of the camera or lens (such as pressing '''' Rec'''', or focusing the lens) produces visible camera shake & vibration that has to be edited or removed in post-production. The body & lens supports are vertically adjustable to rest firmly against the camera body & lens to damp & eliminate vibration, & to make your whole rig more stable & secure. both supports are rubber-coated to protect camera equipment. The SYMPLA Body Support has a flat rubber-coated bar that can be raised until it rests solidly against the underside of your camera body in order to stop it from vibrating when the lens L-bracket is being used to connect the camera to SYMPLA. A repositionable ratchet locking lever blocks height adjustment. To cover greater height ranges, an additional SYMPLA V-Offset can be used with the Body Support. ...

High quality digital sensors & photo lenses need careful control of incoming light & the SYMPLA Flexible Mattebox is a universal light-hood, a positionable anti-glare/anti-reflection shield & a double 4x 4'''' filter-holder, all rolled into one. A key component of the SYMPLA system, the Flexible Mattebox is designed for speed & ease of use, with its 90° hinge allowing fast lens changes & single-lock, tool-free height & front-back movements for equally speedy alignment. The SYMPLA Flexible Mattebox is designed for cameras with interchangeable lenses; fitted on a Universal Mount, it slides backwards & forwards along SYMPLA rails, & has 50mm (1.96'''') of vertical travel so that it can be aligned with lenses of different lengths & heights. The mattebox has an elasticated textile lens seal that fits common lens diameters, & is built around a 90° swivel joint, which rotates the mattebox out of the way for fast lens changes. The weight of the Flexible Mattebox is fully supported by the SYMPLA rails (not by the camera lens) reducing stress on the camera’s easily-damaged lens mount. Two 4x 4'''' filters can be held in front of the lens –one of the filter holders rotates to allow a polarising (or graduated) filter to be angled correctly. The concertina rubber light hood is opened or closed, partially or fully, in an instant. More versatile than the traditional French flag design, it can shield unwanted directional glare from any angle without blocking light from the rest of the scene; in many cases, that can make a direct difference to the f-stop that can be used. because the hood is flexible in length, it's universally compatible with lenses from wide-angle to tele. it packs flat for transportability &, when open, protects the lens against knocks & scrapes. being made from rubber, it won't hurt anyone who accidentally bumps into it… which means it’s much safer for use in crowded places or close to sporting events. Another benefit of the flexible hood is that it can be used when shooting at an angle through glass: position the camera & extend & angle the hood so it forms a seal against the glass, thereby cutting out reflections. Repositionable ratchet locks on all movements. Weight: 1.1kg ...

One of the world’s first true electronic HDSLR remote controls, the Clamp-On Electronic Remote Control for Canon HDSLRs lets you react quickly to changing contexts & creative inspiration. The Electronic Remote connects to your Canon HDSLR via USB (Universal Serial Bus) & interfaces with the camera & lens firmware directly in order to control focus operations, live view, record start/stop & shutter release, & more.

- Focus Memory settings
- Live View control
- Auto Focus control
- Live View Digital Zoom control
- Video recording start/stop
- Photo shutter release
- Remote control battery status
- Customizable focus direction
- Recording LED

- Clamp fits the spacer supplied with SYMPLA Along with the Deluxe model, the Clamp-On remote control unit promises real innovation in the field of HDSLR filming by circumventing the need for any physical contact between follow-focus equipment & the camera lens, instead wiring directly into the camera body to use the internal focus control systems. The advantages are obvious: lenses can be swapped easily without extra hardware or adjustment, nothing jolts the camera unexpectedly during follow-focus, one-man camera operation is easier, & control at a distance is as simple as extending the cable between the camera & the remote. The Clamp-On Remote is perfectly integrated into the SYMPLA system, fitting comfortably to the spacer element of a SYMPLA Adjustable Handle & allowing fingertip control of key camera functions without moving the hand from the grips, in turn making support more stable & secure.
