We got together with the guys from POP HD to put together this video review on the Manfrotto Sympla video rigs. This is a beautifully designed system that is extremely functional. Beyond the mounting rigs and matte box which are great. The Sympla system has a remote control that controls focus and few other functions of the camera. This allows us move focus as we are shooting without the need for expensive, bulky follow focus rigs. It also means you can steady the camera with two hands unlike other rigs. Also we mention in the video, the new focus control is only available for Canon we can confirm that the Nikon version should be available be the end of this year.

We believe this is going to change the way you think and shoot with DSLR. Team will have the complete Sympla range in next week. And we will be adding a few rigs to our rental dept. So you can try before you buy.
