Proton Pack V2 is a backpack-worn camera accessories platform. It includes a multitude of mounting options for your:

  • Batteries (gold mount or V-mount)

  • MDR

  • Wireless HD Transmitter

  • Timecode generator

  • Cinetape readout

  • Focus Monitor

  • Venice Rialto Camera Body

Handheld shooting and cramped sets often require cameras to be as small as possible. DPs often request that the camera to be completely stripped-down. Proton Pack provides the perfect, elegant solution to accomplish these builds without compromise to your normal workflow.

Convenient velcro surfaces and cheese plates make secure attachments for all of your professional accessories. The business end of your rig can now be as simple as: body, lens, & focus motor. That's it! 

Proton Pack's power system is ready for 14v or 26v camera systems and provides 13v breakout power for all peripherals (p-tap & 2pin Lemo).

Ideal for working with Arri Alexa Mini, Red DSMC, and film cameras, Proton Pack is more than simply a backpack plate. It is a complete system providing all the custom cables and accessories you will need for any build.
