DALLAS, TX, May 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Redrock Micro unveils the highly anticipated microMatteBox and
microShoulderMount
accessories for digital filmmakers that deliver cinema-grade light management
and
camera support at revolutionary prices. These new products build on
Redrock's growing family of cinema accessories that enable digital filmmakers to
create dramatic film-style footage using standard digital video cameras.
Redrock microMatteBox
The microMatteBox is the first cinema-grade matte box to bring high-end
matte box
features at a fraction of the price. For the first time high-end cinema features
are now available to indie filmmakers, including:
-- Full size, wide angle matte box
-- Swing-away design for easy access
to check and change lenses
-- Two rotating stages supporting up
to 5.65" filters: stages can be
added or removed

price of comparable solutions. The Deluxe Bundle with eyebrow and side wings
is $695. A Red One Bundle is $795 and includes native 19mm rod support.
"After having worked with the microMatteBox myself, I think Redrock is going
to take the market by storm," said Barry Green, Emmy Award-Winning producer and
noted
industry luminary. "The microMatteBox is amazing for the price."
"Chalk me up as a believer," said Kendal Miller with FreshDV.com, a site
that
tracks and reports on emerging technologies for digital filmmakers. "Redrock has
brought an incredible product to market. "
Redrock microShoulderMount
The microShoulderMount meets the need for configurable, high quality
handheld
camera support at an incredibly affordable price. The microShoulderMount
enables a wide variety of video cameras to be conveniently placed on the
shoulder and balanced with handgrips for stable handheld shots.
"Our customers have told us they don't want to compromise quality and
features for affordability," said James Hurd, Chief Revolutionary for Redrock
Micro. "The microShoulderMount is the perfect solution for a camera support
system, whether you are shooting with the Redrock M2 35mm adapter or stock video
cameras."
The microShoulderMount is simple and elegant, yet powerful enough to deliver
the most requested features:
-- Lightweight, strong shoulder support
for any size video camera
-- Configurable components allow for
hundreds of unique rigs
-- Expandable with other Redrock accessories
to grow with your needs
The microShoulderMount Standard Bundle starts at $275, approximately
1/3 to 1/2 the price of comparable solutions.
