At NAB 2024 in Las Vegas, Wooden Camera presented its Elite accessory systems for Sony BURANO. Accessories include a new D-Box and B-Box, top plate, base plate, as well as a new EVF system that maximizes the functionality of the Sony BURANO.
The Elite accessory systems for Sony BURANO reflect the VENICE 2 collection, and you will notice that there are many similar accessories.
The general concept of the system is to mix universal components with camera-specific parts.
Base plate system
This system includes a low profile ARCA baseplate and an ARCA mounting plate and is compatible with any brand of bridge plates using the ARRI standard height. The base plate has been designed to keep the center of gravity low and allows users to easily add shoulder pads or other accessories while maintaining optimal stability. The riser plate features a clamp locking system with a thumbscrew for added security and comes with ⅜”-16 mounting points to secure the deck plate.
D-Box and B-Box system
The D-Box provides additional 2-pin 12V, D-tap and 3-pin 24V power options and is available in Gold Mount or V-Mount versions. Additionally, the D-Box allows hot-swapping capabilities when power is connected to the DC input and a built-in battery. The B-Box adds two 2-pin 12 V, one 3-pin 24 V as well as a Remote-In port to your camera configuration.
Top plate system
The top plate system includes multiple ¼”-20 and ⅜”-16 mounting points. Using the forward-facing ⅜”-16 mounting points, users can add the dual rod front clamp to secure the rods with a 15mm top plate rod clamp. Additionally, with the mounting point ⅜”-16 mounting, you can also add the EVF system directly to the top plate. The 2-plate design ensures that it can be used in tandem with the SONY PWX-FX9 Top Handle by removing the inner insert and attaching the handle directly to the camera. The top plate also has mounting locations for the original BURANO carry handle.
EVF system
The EVF system uses the universal 15mm stem clamp and provides users with the option of having a modular way to mount the EVF. This system includes a new universal EVF accessory rail swivel clamp that is fully rotatable and allows the user to determine where they want to place it. Safety buttons help keep the EVF secure in the system while providing a quick release option in case removal is necessary. An additional mounting option is to use an accessory rail with an accessory bolt-on clamp for mounting around the camera when traditional use of an EVF is not necessary.
At least in my opinion, it makes much more sense to mount the included BURANO EVF elsewhere on your camera and then use a separate EVF or monitor, but that depends on your individual needs.
