Sneak Peak at Boomerang Flash Bracket

This is all we want to reveal at this time.  This is the main articulating arm for our new rotating flash bracket.  This will be smaller and easier to operate than our Guillotine flash bracket.  It will keep the flash upward at all times, perfect if you are bouncing the flash or just want a fill light with shadows behind the subject, hence not visible in photos.  It will feature a secure locking lever.  It is estimated that it will weigh about 10-12oz.  Very light.  We will also make it work with our lineup of Arca-Swiss compatible body plates.  The Arm you see in the picture will also be available in quick release version.  The Arca-Swiss plate will stay on the body and ProMediaGear's Boomerang bracket will stow away for easy transport.  The picture is an Iphone capture.

New Plate for Canon DSLR 1D series

ProMediaGear Plate (one base plate only) for Canon EOS 1D Mark III and Mark IV, 1Ds Mark III Arca-Swiss, Really Right Stuff RRS, Kirk Compatible

This plate is lighter than competitors plates, it offers the same level of stability, aircraft quality aluminum with durable black finish.  Also having separate anti rotation lips on the sides and not through the entire length of the plate, offers you more contact with camera rubberized grip, increasing comfort and grip quality.  The are no sharp edges, the whole idea of making custom fit body plates like these is to not even feel it is attached to your camera.

With ProMediaGear you have a chance to buy a unique item, new designs not copies.

Very universal Arca-Swiss compatible Lens or Panning plates or rails

When it comes to professional photography its all about customization and whats right for the job.  We have designed these rails, or lens plates to be as flexible as possible.

Use them as a panning rail with a clamp to find your nodal point.  You can attach our clamps at 90 or 180 degree angles, our clamps come with 1/4"-20 Screw thread or 3/8"-16.

Use them as just lens plates, or double dove tail rail.

They come in 8, 7, 6, 5 inch lengths

Exploded View of 40mm Arca-Swiss Compatible Clamp

Exploded view of our 40mm Clamp, all of our clamps share similar design. Instead of long grove or channel design like Really Right Stuff, Kirk, Wimberley we use twin post to stabilize clamp with it provides less play and is more stable. We welcome anybody that would like to do side by side comparison.

These Quick-Release clamps are available at our store for $55/each with free shipping:

New Katana Gimbal Head Coming Soon

Here is some screen grabs of our new Katana Gimbal head.  We are hoping we can finalize the design very soon and be able to produce these heads in early 2010.  Our date has moved back from December 2009, but we felt the design changes more than warrant the wait.  You can use it with any medium or 35mm telephoto lens (with a mounting collar/shoe of course) you have, provided your tripod will support the weight.  Maybe we should build one not only for photographers but for videographers also.


The major difference between our old prototype and this one is the braking mechanism.  We wanted to increase the effective surface area and be able to control it better so created these "fins" as you tighten the fine control knob on the side they will put pressure on the resistance ring and thus provide smooth motion.



Compared to other market leaders like Wimberley or Jobu, our design our Gimbal Head is bigger, with longer mounting clamp, vertical adjustments, and provides more clearance to save your knuckles from abrasion, and of course it just looks better.  We may offer it in various colors but for now we're probably going to stick with just black.  We will also offer it with various knobs, for those who are fighting the cold, it will give you much more needed control over tightening the clamp.

For the weight conscious photographers, this isn't featherlight, but its all made out of aircraft aluminum and with steel ball bearings, instead of plastic hardware.  If there is enough interest we may even create a carbon fiber arm.

New Back to back 60mm Arca-Swiss Compatible Clamps

Panorama picture shooters worldwide can finally have a more solid set of clamps, we have just released a configurable set of 60mm back to back mounted Quick-Release clamps.  These clamps are created with the finest and most precise CNC machines available, with aircraft quality aluminum.  They feature safety stop mechanism preventing the plates from slipping out, and can also be used separately.

Buy your own with either 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 mounting threads and enjoy the ProMediaGear quick release system.  Your camera can wear one of our plates without you even noticing the mounting hardware is attached.
