Author and Cinematographer, Marco Solorio (owner of OneRiver Media) has been using the original Cinema Camera since mid-2012, prior to its public release as an early beta tester and first recipient of the camera outside of Blackmagic Design’s global headquarters in Australia.Video book trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkbp44Gyl5cSince that time, Solorio has used various Blackmagic Design cameras as “A-cameras” on a multitude of real-world projects, from commercial, corporate, short film, and feature film productions. Breaking all preconceived perceptions, Solorio implements production-proven rigging scenarios that allow these cameras to be used in both conventional and non-conventional ways while obtaining extremely high quality these cameras are known for.Various Cinema Camera and Production Camera 4K rigging setups are shown in great detail (including parts and cost breakdown) that include: Compact Rig, Studio Rig, B-Roll Rig, Interview Rig, Cine Rig, ENG Rig, Compact Shoulder Rig, Aviator Rig, Skimmer Rig, and many more.

I commend the author with the large amount of work and detail that went into making this book. Love all the setups, parts and photos covered in so much detail. I wish all camera books could be this thorough. Definitely recommended.

This a truly informative and in-depth book on rigging the Cinema Camera and 4K. I love the fact that it goes beyond that and applies to any camera. Despite one of the other reviews claiming the author being arrogant by shooting countless photos of how the gear is used, I found all these photos to be of huge help and of high quality. Since when is it a fault to have a lot of photos and copyright information for photos in a book? At any rate, I highly recommend this book.

Almost a year ago, my company switched over to Blackmagic Design cameras. Due to their level of dynamic range, codec, and cinema aesthetic, it was an easy decision to make. Just like any camera kits out there, you have to accessorize and create a workflow that works with you. Rigging Your Cinema Camera is not only the perfect book, but the book to get if you are a Blackmagic Design camera user. I would say this is pretty much the bible of rigging your cinema camera.Marco goes into full detail on the kits he uses and each piece of accessory. A great feature that I appreciated about his writing is the fact that he does not highlight just one single piece of equipment, he analyzes multiple pieces of equipment. For example, if you want to know which top handle or cages to use for your cinema camera, Marco will lay out a handful of these accessories and dive into the pros and cons of each. In addition the added links to find more info or purchase the equipment was so helpful! Saved us from many searches on google. Overall, this is a great book for any level; whether you're experienced or just getting into videography. We even use the book as a reference to rig other cameras that are not Blackmagic. Great work Marco and we look forward to future literature from you and your team!

WOW! Am I glad I bought this ebook!!! I am so impressed by the quality and the amount of content included here. This book is a must for any filmmaker that is looking to take their camera and filmmaking kit to the next level. Marco Solorio knows how to rig a camera and the shows you the equipment you need to put it all together. Although be uses the rigging for the Blackmagic Cinema Cameras, the theories will apply to any camera you would like to rig properly in multiple configurations. Not only does Marco go into great depth into rigging theory with different camera setups, he also talks about his experiences with all sorts of gear from manufactures with different types of rigging hardware and offers his choices on the best gear that works for the job. The best part is the links he provides to B&H for a more detail description & price. Thank you Marco for this awesome book! This will be a resource and a go-to guide for our production for a long time to come!Ryan CarthyHockeyXtra Show
