AltCineCam has introduced the final version of their Blackmagic Cinema Camera Box Modification, the Eclipse. The company first showcased an early working prototype in June 2024, and after feedback from beta testers, they got to work on a final version, which they have unveiled.

The top of the Eclipse features six chrome custom buttons, including Record, plus function buttons, and the jog dial to customize the screen (false color, focus peaking, etc.).
