Camera & Vision

The professional cameraman’s favorite choice for two decades, the Dinkum Systems®CINE™ lens shade helps keep your lens free of sun, dust and drizzle. Featuring a large 10”x 6½” beveled-edge anti-reflective aluminum shade supported by a super-strong spring clamp and a 15-link, 16″ long, multi-directional, length-adjustable arm.

Designed for use on larger film and video cameras, the CINE™ lens shade, or “french flag”, attaches quickly and accurately to multiple points on the camera body or mattebox. The surprisingly strong plastic clamp has 1.5”-wide rubber-coated jaws and pivoting rubber tips which ensure a solid base, enabling multiple points of attachment, yet eliminating scratches or damage to equipment.

Optional bases:

The Screw Mount is a base that attaches to the threaded receptacle on your accessories block, camera handle or female-threaded mini-Cardellini clamps – providing secure fastening to all standard ¼-20″ attachment points. No tools required to interchange parts: simply pop apart, and press back together!

This Fixed Base Mount is ideal for shooters who prefer a mounting solution with a horizontal profile. The Fixed Base Mount tightens on to the ¼”-20 female thread on the handle of professional cameras and provides a low profile with uninterrupted handgrip.

No tools required to interchange parts: simply pop apart, and press back together!

Make your lens shade do double duty as a mount or grip device with our range of interchangeable heads and bases, designed to meet all sorts of on-set challenges.

The Dinkum Systems Clamp-to-Clamp device has a super strong 2″ spring clamp on one end of 13 interlocking segments with a slightly smaller 1″ spring clamp on the other. The length-adjustable modular hose arm has an hourglass-shaped double-adaptor piece included in the assembly. This double-adaptor piece means the arm segments can reverse direction from the standard male-to-female connection, allowing for a clamp base on either end of the device.

The Clamp-to-Clamp has been created due to customer demand, and is being used in a wide variety of applications in many sectors including military, forensics, mechanics and surgical. The two sizes of clamps will securely grip an endless range of items for countless uses, and our length adjustable arms and spring clamp allow for placement in areas other mounts can’t reach.

Use this grip device for holding items steady for macro photography, positioning devices like audio / video receivers, video transmitters, flashlights, cables, microphones or giving you a third hand for reflectors.

Accommodates surfaces up to 1″ – 2″ thick, depending on which of the two clamp sizes you use as the base. Weight 4 oz.
