ARTICULATING BRACKET - This bracket was made to solve the problem of freefly helmets having a neoprene forehead area. The problem is that in order to mount a ringsight, you must place it too far away from your eye in order to avoid jamming it into your eye while putting the helmet on. This makes it pretty hard to use a sight and the metal juts so far out that it is a safety hazard.
The articulating clamp allows you to mount a post that is spring loaded and rotates to allow you to move the sight out of the way and put the helmet on. As you can see, the pin and slot on the front of the mount allows a 90 degree axial movement. Then rotate the shaft to move the sight back into place. Kit comes with three Allen head mounting screws, Allen wrench, and articulating bracket. It's the perfect way to add a ringsight to many of today's freefly helmets. The sight mounts to this bracket with a normal swivel clamp.

This .43x ultra-wide angle lens is extremely small, and was created for digital/video cameras that have 37mm sized filter threads or smaller. It can also be fitted to cameras with a smaller filter thread size by using a step-up ring. This high quality lens has an extreme curvature of field, or fisheye effect and will increase your video camera's field of view by a full 135%. This allows you to work very close to your subjects for striking visual angles and effects. The optical glass lens elements are multicoated to reduce the possibility of flare, ghosting and internal reflection. The lens simply screws on like a filter and come with lens caps and handy storage case.
$110.00
