I was asked by Steve Weiss of Zacuto<\/a> to shoot some footage of myself and of the gear in action. So I went out with my friend, Suresh Kara of Documovie.co.uk<\/a>\u00a0to London for the day last Tuesday to go to some familiar spots and do some nice filming.<\/p>\n

I shot using the EX3 and Letus Ultimate with full Zacuto rig, including the flippable follow focus, whip, rails, universal base plate, zeddie wedgie, locking lens support and Zacuto Y-Fronts for ultimate support.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I didn’t buy Zacuto initially as I was put off by the cost. So instead I spent way more than I eventually did when buying the Zacuto rig by buying various cheaper alternatives that either didn’t do the job very well or just broke. Whereas my Zacuto gear is as good as new 18 months on. I won’t make that mistake again. You buy cheap and you get what you pay for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have become somewhat of a fan so to speak of their gear, there is nothing more modular or well made on the market. It’s camera geek heaven. As long as they keep churning out the good stuff as they are doing (check out the bottom of this blog) then I will continue to rave about their gear.<\/p>\n
