The new Robot Skin GH5 is an innovative professional cage designed to fit like a glove around the latest mirrorless Lumix GH5/GH5S cameras featuring the exclusive LockCircle Asymmetrical Design Approach for right hand camera grabbing and control with the original camera ergonomic feeling. Designed for comfortable grip and action, leaving on the left side of the camera all the production tools and accessories mounting: a still and film camera without the limitations of other cages.
The asymmetrical concept can be upgrade with the Side Bar to add other accessories and rigging solutions on the right side.
A special ergonomics approach offers the action/control of the camera knob selectors and on/off lever from the back of the cage across two cnc machined finger channels and camera dials can be directly viewed from the top plate across two splits.
Something more than just wrapping around the Lumix GH5/GH5S with a metalic cage with some threads: a natural extension of the original camera shape!
The Robot Skin is designed for filmmakers using the original Panasonic DMW-XLR1 microphone adapter on the GH5 hotshoe.
