Compact and Lightweight camera head block

Approx. 70% smaller than the VENICE Extension System 2, it’s ideal for handheld and small gimbal use.

Detachable cable, extends up to 12 meters
The newly developed cable is thinner and more flexible than before, and since it is detachable, shooting and installation in tight spaces has become easier. To make it easier to use with smaller gimbals, the included cable is 4.5 m instead of 3 m and can be replaced with a 12m. cable (optional accessory CBK-12C3621).

Support for PL mount and E-mount Lenses

Stereoscopic Shooting
Positioning two camera head blocks side by side enables high-resolution stereoscopic shooting with an interpupillary distance of 64 mm using E-mount lenses, creating natural stereoscopic images and enhancing visual immersion*.

*Two VENICE 2 cameras are also required.

Stitching Shooting
Combining multiple camera head blocks for a VFX plate rig allows for 360°VFX plate shooting, expanding creative possibilities. This compact and lightweight setup also supports VFX plate shooting and virtual production background filming.
