The U-Boat Video Rig (which we’ve been using since it’s inception) by Canon Explorer of Light Bruce Dorn, aka the “mastermind” behind iDC Photo Video, graces the August cover of Popular Photography.
The U-Boat Video Rig is lightweight, inexpensive and most important…a cinch to use! We love em’ enough to own two (quick release versions), both outfitted with the easiest to use DSLR follow-focus on the market, the Run & Gun!
