Element Technica introduces V-DOCK, the
new professional mounting system designed to replace the messy
and insecure practice of using Velcro-type material or gaffer
tape to attach camera accessories. V-DOCK is a neat solution
for working with popular digital camera systems, including
the RED One.
Compact and user-friendly, this precision mechanical device
includes a main assembly featuring a female V-Lock interface
and a spring-loaded split clamp. A separate male V-LOCK attaches
to accessories to allow fast and easy mounting. The V-DOCK
main assembly anchors securely
anywhere on a single 15mm or 19mm iris rod. Once in place,
it’s a simple matter to add any item equipped with the
male V-LOCK. Thanks to the V-DOCK’s convenient quick
release mechanism, removal of accessories takes only seconds.
One popular use of the V-DOCK is for the Element Technica
RED Drive Shock Mount System. When combined with the ISO-Plate
shock mount, it greatly expands the range of shooting conditions
for the RED Drive by eliminating dropped frames in many situations
where one would normally only use a Compact Flash card. It
is easily converted to a rigid mount for the RED RAM by substituting
the individual shocks for stainless fasteners.
When teamed with the Element Technica Aluminum Battery Interface
Plate, V-DOCK provides a secure and easy way to mount the
power source anywhere along the camera’s 15mm or 19mm
rods. What’s more, the system
can also be attached directly to the Shoulder Pad Frame on
Element’s Mantis Handheld Kit.
With the addition of Element’s V-DOCK AJA mounting plate,
the V-DOCK system offers a quick and convenient way to install
any AJA mini- converter on the camera rig. And V-DOCK is an
elegant way to mount the Preston Cinema MDR2 or other popular
lens controls.
Element Technica continues to develop more V-Dock smart support
solutions for a host of other applications. The V-DOCK accessory
mounting system is available in 15mm and 19mm models. U.S.
list price for each model starts at $250.00.
