Although the Hybrid was developed as an upgrade for the Red One, its modular design makes it compatible with many current cameras from Arri, Sony, SI, and Aaton while setting a new paradigm for future cameras.
By simply switching the clamps on the front and rear of the bridge plate, the Hybrid can be converted between different rod standards. The rod clamps easily slide on to steel pins and are held in place by two 1/4 -20 socket cap screws.
When using primes or a lightweight zoom, the front clamps can be used to support accessories such as a matte box and follow focus, and the rear clamps can be used to support other accessories such as drive mounts or battery mounts. And when shooting with larger zoom lenses, both clamps can be employed for maximum rod support. Utilizing both sets of clamps on the Hybrid provides better support for a zoom lens than on previous bridge plates.
A 15mm Lightweight support clamp can also be attached to the front of a 15mm or 19mm Studio clamp, allowing the use of matte boxes and follow focuses that use the Lightweight standard.
Panavision support is also part of the modular system. The Panavision support bracket allows use of the Panavision Modular Follow Focus and also provides standard 12V Panavision power outs that face the front of the camera.
Both the 15mm Studio Kit and the 19mm Studio Kit replace the 15mm and 19mm Arri-Style Base, respectively, on the RED One. Each kit comes with the Hybrid Body Core and two corresponding 15mm or 19mm Studio spacing clamps.
The 15/19 Dual Studio Kit replaces both the 15mm and 19mm Arri-Style Base on the RED One and includes the Hybrid Body Core with a pair of both 15mm Studio spacing clamps and 19mm Studio spacing clamps. All three systems can be upgraded at any time to 15mm Lightweight support.
The Hybrid is compatible with all of the Element Technica dovetails, as well as any other Arri-standard dovetail. When used with an Arri camera, a shim plate is required.
