After getting some sweet pro accessories from ARRI’s PCA division, the Canon C200 is now getting third party accessories from Wooden Camera. I am a huge fan of Wooden Camera’s stuff, especially their unified baseplates – they are simple to use, versatile and built like tanks. It has been quite some interesting few months lately for mid-tier Super 35 4K camcorders, with the imminent release of the Panasonic EVA1 towards the end of the month and the fact that the Canon C200 has been shipping for the past month or so, getting just the camera is step #1 in making it production ready.
Wooden camera has some new accessories to make your life easier when rigging a C200 for a shoot including a baseplate, top plate, handgrip extension cable and a V-mount or Gold mount plate for some extra juice.
