Vocas released the following new accessories for the RED V-RAPTOR: two side cage brackets, some wooden handgrips for the wing grips, and a PL/LPL adapter support. Let’s take a closer look at these accessories in case you want to create a lightweight V-RAPTOR rig!
Dutch manufacturer Vocas is well-known for making high-quality camera accessories like their recent LCD monitor support for the Sony FX6. The company has just launched some accessories for the RED V-RAPTOR that could be useful if you’re looking for lightweight rigging options.
Let’s start with the side cage kit that consists of two wing grips. This kit is compatible with the RED KOMODO and the latest V-RAPTOR.
The side cage brackets attach to both camera sides via the two M4 attachment points the camera provides. It gives you two 1/4″-20 and two 3/8″-16 threaded holes with ARRI locating pins and one ARRI rosette.
Once the two wing grips are attached to your camera, you can screw the two Vocas handgrips to your RED V-RAPTOR. The wooden handgrips attach via two 1/4″-20 screws and nicely wrap around the side cage brackets.
If you’re looking for a minimalistic handheld V-RAPTOR setup, these wooden attachments could be an excellent option!
Lastly, Vocas launched a PL and LPL adapter support designed explicitly for the V-RAPTOR. This adapter support mounts directly to the front of the camera with four 1/4″-20 screws.
Once this very sturdy adapter support is in place, you can attach your Vocas Canon R-Mount to PL or LPL adapter to the camera. Next, firmly lock the four adapter support 1/4″-20 mounting screws. Then, tighten the red wingnut, and you have one of the strongest PL/LPL mount adapters available on the market.
The Vocas side cage kit for the RED KOMODO and V-RAPTOR is available now for $173/€149. The wooden handgrips will be available in May 2022 for €91.89. Last but not least, the PL and LPL adapter support is available now for €246.81.
