Roll Rig 2 by Movcam

Roll Rig II is a device developed by Chinese company Movcam with an aim to keep the camera perfectly levelled in any shooting situation or to use it as a 4^th axis for unlimited roll.

• It can be used on top of the steadicam sled, and that way it provides you a perfect level no matter in what position is your sled.
• It can be used on various stabilized heads to act as a 4^th axis, that means you’ll get unlimited roll on a push of a button.
• It can be used on a tripod or dolly to achieve perfectly centered unlimited roll.
• It can be used in handheld mode, to keep the roll in level or to achieve unlimited roll.
• And definitely some more situations to explore…

If using original camera mounting plates, all the cameras will be optically centred.

After lot of testing, we do NOT recommend the Roll Rig to be used on a steadicam as a substitute for a Wave or Volt system. Here is the video why: https://youtu.be/SOSyttCEZ1A

And here is the video for which kind of shots can the stedicam + Roll Rig combo be useful: https://youtu.be/LUymmIMYYrU
