(Hollywood, CA and Dallas, TX) - Redrock Micro, the recognized leader in affordable professional-level cinema accessories, announced today a new line of Limited Edition Nikon Gold DSLR rigs. The Nikon Gold rigs were designed and launched by Redrock in response to the new generation of Nikon HD video DSLRs, including the D4 and highly anticipated D800. This union between industry powerhouses offers shooters a unique support system without compromising quality and professionalism.

Nikon's D800 and D4 are rocking the video world with huge improvements in video quality, performance, and usability. Among the many enhancements are industry-standard recording frame rates and video formats, comprehensive audio including monitoring, full manual controls, and groundbreaking full-resolution HDMI output. Nikon shooters everywhere are realizing these are the cameras they've been waiting for.

"With the release of the Nikon D4 and Nikon D800, Nikon sets the new standard for extremely high quality video in a Digital SLR," said Sharon Henley, Senior Manager, Product Lifecycle Control for Nikon. "Support equipment like the Limited Edition Nikon Gold rigs from Redrock Micro are great complements to Nikon's DSLRs and help our customers get the most from shooting video."

The beautifully crafted Redrock rigs are the same ones used in major television shows such as 'House MD,' 'Ghost Whisperer,' and 'Californication,' and feature films including 'Act of Valor' and 'Real Steel.'

"When we first laid eyes on the Nikon D4 and D800, we realized the advanced video capabilities would be a huge hit with filmmakers," said James Hurd, Chief Revolutionary of Redrock Micro. "We created the Limited Edition Nikon Gold rigs to celebrate Nikon's achievements. There is no better way to jump into video than to pair a new Nikon DSLR with a beautifully matched, professional-quality Redrock rig."

Limited Edition Nikon Gold rigs have the same configuration and legendary quality as their standard Redrock counterparts, but with Nikon Gold and Midnight Black accent colors replacing the classic Redrock blue. The three rigs offered in Nikon Gold are:

1. Captain Stubling - A compact, action-style handheld rig including support and focus control with the microFollowFocus.

2. runningMan - Stability and ultra-compact size ideal for run n' gun DSLR shooters.

3. Field Cinema Deluxe V2 Bundle - Comprehensive shouldermount rig for comfortable long shooting sessions and support for extra accessories such as external monitor and external recorders.

Redrock rigs are also compatible with virtually all HDSLRs, so even if your camera is a different brand, these rigs give your setup a distinctive look. The rigs are fully functional and ready to go for your next production.
