They do offer a battery plate option as well. If you are into matte boxes, stay tuned...we've got a few matte box video reviews coming very soon. -Matt Jeppsen Hey Andrew, the box on the back is a Zacuto counterweight.

It doesn't look like a battery. P.S. it would have been nice to a matte box on that thing just because it looks cool. What is that on the back off the camera. It doesn’t look like a battery.

Like you guys said in the video, it's not so easy to get access to true industry veterans like this. I'd love to see more stuff like this-- I don't even know if a film school can offer great little concentrated packets of knowledge like these. It's things like this that'll keep the "new" digital generation of filmmakers from wasting all the innovation and work that's been done by their predecessors, while allowing them to take the craft forward from there. On top of that, it helps amateurs aspiring to be pros (like myself) learn the right habits and techniques right off the bat. thanks FreshDV! Great series!

I feel the focuspuller/AC is one of the most critical people on the set, and this is proof positive of this - not to mention this sold me finally on cine lenses vs. still. I find the zacuto rig is simply fantastic. i think this tutorial is one of the best behind the scenes pieces i’ve seen.

I think we all learned a thing or two from Bob. He has an amazing amount of practical experience and knowledge, and we appreciate the time he spent with FreshDV. Isn't the Zacuto rig the shiznit? It's just a pleasure to shoot with, so configurable. -Matt Jeppsen Thanks for your kind words, greatly appreciated. I think we all learned a thing or two from Bob.
