  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Gini rigs cage for Scarlet

I would not trust that bridgeplate for the world.

It doesn't look like it has a QR system, so tightening down two knobs to secure it on the dovetail seems very fishy to me. I have no idea why they didn't directly copy Wooden Camera's design as they're quite notorious for this already...

I would like to know how it performs though.
 
Ah so it does look like they copied someone. I guess business as usual then.

If this lives up to the standard of rod locking that's present on all of his other gear, then it actually might be worth the hassle of tighting and untighting the knobs to get the dovetail on/off. I'm used to QR bridgeplates, but I guess this isn't bad for the person who doesnt have to often pull their rig off the dovetail or adjust for every single piece of kit added.
 
GiniRig seems to build stuff then improve the design as they go.

So Nils I reckon you got the 1st prototype of this design. I saw it on Ebay but wasn't sure about the lack of dovetail safety locking. I reckon this will be added on newer versions.

In regards to everyone bemoaning how Ginirigs rips off other designs, he actually doesn't. Zacuto & Ginirig rail clamps are totally different, only similarity the red knobs. The "I Focus" FF yes looks similar to Cinevate "Durus " but when you compare the 2 side by side totally different the only similarity is the diameter of the wheel & even thats different. The cages again different to competitors products.

There has been some wild claims on this thread but at the end of the day this stuff is well built matching or surpassing in quality a lot of the competitors stuff in fact its better built than a lot of chinese or indian products or some US product made in china which are knock offs. Apparently this is unethical....go figure.

Hi,

I have just receveid my cage from gini, but she doesn't fit my Scarlet, the cage is too tight, do you have the same problem?

Best Regards,
 
Hey Malik,

I received mine about a year ago. Fit just fine. Have you got the one with the swat/nato ribs or does it have mounting points on all edges of the rib? Either way, sounds like a dud. Unless you have them upside down!
 
I just received my cage 1 hour ago. I will test it in few week, I curently do not own my Red camera. I've got mine new for 104$ on ebay with shipping + 27 dollars of french taxe.
