I'd like to use this rig with the black magic cinema camera. How compatible is it?

I've never put a Blackmagic on mine, but it is a solid build and completely customisable so should do the job. You might find you need to file down the baseplate and add a Manfrotto removable one (it makes it much easier/quicker to mount) and maybe add a touch more counterweight, but this is easy enough to do... For the price it is equal if not better than the Redrock, you cant really go wrong with this.

Hey! I brought this rig for my bmcc and am very happy with how it works! It is abit of a tight fit when you have the whole top piece on aswell but is workable, however I haven't needed to use the top handle and horseshoe parts of the rig on top so just leave it off. The only thing I have found abit frustrating at times is the mounting screw, which is abit fiddly, especially if you have big fingers! I believe gini rigs actually sell a separate bmcc quick release plate for the rig if it is too much of an issue. Overall I have been very happy with this rig with my bmcc and would recommend. Hey!

Sure, it is compatible with the BMCC :). The baseplate has 1/4-20 thread so the BMCC can attach directly to it.Hope that helps

Haven't had that experience yet. I so far have used my Canon 7d, 5d mkII and 70d. I don't know the dimensions of the BMCC but if it fits insid the cage and you find a compatible mount(you'll need to experiment around with that yourself) then it should be fine,

I will suggest you use MK 908, it has quad core. Much easier to handle the video out put. Thanks, have a great weekend!

Yes, this should work. As long as your input application (which black magic provides one) will allow you to select the various inputs. I have encountered a few situations (using composite video input) where the audio can get out of alignment. This can be easily fixed in an NLE like Premiere Pro or FCP X. This might not be an issue with an HDMI input. Be aware that this product will not auto-sense which inputs you are using. You will need to know what inputs and what frame rates you are outputting via HDMI to get your recording to come through predictably. If you are comfortable with that, then this will work fine for you. Yes, this should work.

To do what you're asking will require a Converter from Black Magic Design. Hope this helps!

After looking over the Blackmagic website, I would think not. Size-wise, it would fit fine. But weight-wise, I would think it to be too flimsy for a Blackmagic Cinema Camera. This mount is built more for small to medium sized DSLRs.

I use Pinnacle Studio 12 ( acutally it's 12.1 - the Ultimate version ) and it works pretty well with my Quad Core computer and a good video card for editing AVCHD footage from this camera. I'm very pleased.Tony

I have not tried it with that camera specifically, but it is very versatile and customizable that my guess is that it would work. We have used it with the Canon 5 D Mark 2 as well as the new Blackmagic 4k camera without any problems.

Actually I believe it is only compatible with a 16 or less. I run a 16 and it holds a lot of video.

Donna, I am sorry I don't have that information, check the Steadicam site which has a list of cameras and measurements under Merlin.I hope you can work it out from there, I would think it should be OK from my playing with various cameras on the Merlin.Good luck with itGordon Bennett

Yes it will work fine. U may want to use a larger cam such as a8 or a9 for best performance

I purchased this lens for a Nikon camera. Unless your Black Magic cinema camera has a Nikkor compatible mount it will not fit. Order the lens with Canon mount.

No answer for using it with a Linux system, but works great with my home brew set up.There are way bettercamers, but have no complaints with this one.

Yes, it is compatible but a full-frame lens (FX) would be better suited for your camera.

If the lenses you use are FD/FL mounts and the Blackmagic cam uses a mft mount, then yes... Should work

Yes,I have this version of OS X and black magic works fine with the RCA plugs. The component hook up has an audio/visual synch problem.

If it were me, I would call either a local camera store, B & H, or Adorama and ask about compatibility. I bought this particular release because I have a Canon 5D and 7D both of whichwere listed. My experience is never 'assume' when it comes to electronics compatibility. Hope this helps.Lawrie
