Why We Love The New Canon EOS R
There’s no denying that mirrorless full frame cameras are here to stay. With Sony leading the charge, they’ve become crazy popular in a short period of time. It amazes me how these mirrorless cameras have taken the camera rental business by storm.
Our customers demand mirrorless cameras on their camera rental orders along with an Alexa Mini as their B Camera. Mirrorless cameras’ form factor, size and ability to capture full frame or almost full frame is something to behold. It blows my mind how people have all of a sudden forgotten the Canon 5 …

The Redrock DSLR Cinema Bundle
The Redrock DSLR Cinema Bundle enables cinema-style shooting with cameras that are otherwise limited due to size and design. DSLR cameras such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Canon 7D boast a number of benefits (excellent image quality, low light shooting, etc) but are less than ideal for handheld shooting. The Redrock DSLR rig solves this problem.
The Redrock Cinema Bundle features a protective and stabilizing microSupport cage built from carbon fiber rods (easily disassembled for storage). A padded shoulder mount, including front han …

Along with the ability to capture full HD video clips at 1920 x 1080 resolution, Canon’s EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR camera features a 21.1-megapixel full frame 24 x 36mm CMOS sensor.
