RigWheels has just released an interesting new plate for heavy cinema cameras that allows you to switch from horizontal to vertical shooting in seconds: the 90-degree vertical camera mount. Based on a two-hinges design, this plate has a big payload capacity while ensuring your camera stays perpendicular, leveled, and at the correct angle. So, let’s take a closer look at it! American manufacturer RigWheels is well-known in the industry for their sliders, magnetic car mount systems, and other heavy-duty camera mounting accessories. Last year, the company released the Kraken, a versatile heavy-duty car mount system with an impressive maximum payload capacity of 175lb/79kg. The Kraken is based around a massive 25.4cm/10in suction cup, which attaches to a RigPlate via four rods. On the RigPlate are two RigPlate hinges to adjust the camera angle. In a smart move, as vertical shooting is here to stay, RigWheels modified the RigPlate to make it a more universal 90-degree vertical camera mount. The 90-degree vertical camera mount can take heavy payloads.
