Canon C70 Travel Rig

My Essential Canon C70 Run & Gun Rig

When I need a compact, lightweight, and agile setup for my Canon C70, this is the "Run and Gun" rig I turn to.

It's all about getting great shots without being weighed down, perfect for fast-paced environments.

Here’s the gear that makes it happen:

Core Rigging & Handling

These components provide the essential mounting points and a solid grip for on-the-go shooting.

• Top Plate: Kondor Blue Top Plate for Canon C70

• Top Handle: Nitze Mini Top Handle (NATO Rail)

Monitoring

Clear visuals are crucial, even in a minimalist setup.

• Monitor: SmallHD Indie 7 Monitor

• Monitor Mount: Vlogger Advanced Monitor Mount (SPH-01)

Audio Capture

Reliable audio is a must. Here's my go-to for clean sound in dynamic situations.

• Lavalier System: Sennheiser G4 Lavalier Pack (EW 112P G4)

• Shotgun Microphone: Sennheiser MKH 416 Shotgun Mic

Lens Adapters

Versatility in lens choice is key, and these adapters open up a world of options for the RF mount.

• Speed Booster (EF to RF): Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R 0.71x (Speed Booster)

• Standard Adapter (EF to RF): Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R

Overall Thoughts:

When you’re building a rig, everything should have a purpose.

On a travel shoot, there’s always the balance between sacrificing what you need and what you want.

On my typical shoots, being able to capture anything at a moments notice is crucial. That’s why i’ve built this the way it is.
