Halo Universal Base Kit (for Small Cameras)

Any camera, anywhere. The Halo Universal Base Kit for Small Cameras gives you the freedom and flexibility of advanced camera rigging in an easily-accessible package. Mounting via 15mm rods, the Halo is the next step in camera cage freedom – and when coupled with our Universal Dovetail, you can seamlessly mount to gimbals or tripods in moments.

Featuring an Arca-standard quick-release system, the Halo Universal Base Kit is the ultimate choice for filmmakers of any skill level.

Universal Camera Cage

With the Halo Universal Camera Cage, any camera can be set up for rigging in moments. The Halo forms a square around the camera body, striking a balance between clearance for large cameras and a compact form factor. This means that any camera, from the compact Sony FX30 up to the ultra-powerful RED V-RAPTOR XL, can be mounted.

Dovetail Design

Complete the cage with our Universal Dovetail, which mounts via the included 15mm LWS Rod Bracket to form a base for any camera. The Dovetail is the only one of its kind to have dual compatibility with Manfrotto tripods and DJI gimbals, allowing you to seamlessly transition from mount to mount.

Clearance for Compact Cameras

The issue with a majority of hybrid and compact cinema cameras is the minimal distance from the lens mount to the base of the camera, which causes lenses to collide with many standard dovetails. With the included Arca Riser and Arca Receiver, the camera is elevated so that lenses don’t clash with the dovetail. This doubles as a quick-release system, meaning that you can easily remove your camera from the rig for adjusting settings or swapping out lenses.

Clean Rigging

Wrapping around your camera body, the Halo offers a huge range of accessory mounting points for you to use. Along with industry-standard screw threads (1/4” and 3/8”), the Halo also offers MAP and QD sockets, a cold shoe mount and NATO rails. Able to take up to 10kg of load without flexing, you have huge scope for accessorising your rig.

By Filmmakers, For Filmmakers

The Halo Universal Base Kit for Small Cameras makes professional camera setups more accessible. You don’t need a dozen different Hex Keys or a batch of dedicated risers or spacers: everything fits together cleanly and efficiently onto 15mm support rods – which are included in the Kit.

Built to Last

Our Halo Kits are designed and engineered to the highest standards of quality, making them long-lasting camera rigging solutions. Our Drumstix are made from a durable structural alloy with extendable ends, and the rest of the kit is made from aerospace-grade anodised aluminium. Lightweight yet still resistant to wear-and-tear and rough treatment, the Halo Base Kit will be a constant companion in your filmmaking journey.
