Wooden Camera Announces Canon C80 Solutions
The Elite Accessory System features some new designs as well as a new solution tailored to the latest Canon camera.
Wooden Camera has announced an Elite Accessory System for the Canon EOS C80.
The collection features new designs (the Top Plate, Arca Riser Plate and NATO Side Rail) and an all-new accessory: the Canon ¼"-20 Ridge Plate.
The new top-plate design allows users to remove the back portion of the plate, enabling use of the hot shoe with the Wooden Camera top plate. When not using the hot shoe, the back portion of the plate adds a secondary connection to help lock in the top plate on the C80. A connection point for battery slides was also incorporated here to allow a rod-less connection point for power options.
The Arca riser plate was designed to reflect the camera-body design and allow expanded connectivity when using different lens mounts. This plate includes a lens-support rod and a mounting point for battery slides when the connection to the top plate is blocked or a different setup is required.
The new design of the NATO side rail includes an HDMI safety clamp to support the connector on the camera, as well as a tape-hook mounting point to give users the option of relocating the tape hook off the camera. As always, the side rail includes ⅜"-16 and ¼"-20 mounting points down the rail, adding mounting points to the operator’s side of the camera.
The Canon ¼"-20 ridge plate was specifically designed for users who want to use the C80 carry handle with Wooden Camera accessories; the ridge plate can be mounted in any direction.
Wooden Camera is offering an Elite Accessory System with Gold and V-Mount Battery Slide power options; a Core Accessory System, which allows use of the native Canon carry handle; and à la carte accessories for users to build their own systems. The Canon EOS C80 will begin shipping in November.
