RigWheels Sidecar/Hostess Tray RigMount XL Brushless Gimbal Mount

The Sidecar / Hostess Tray configuration is one of the favourites to get some great classic angles. Because the sides of vehicles generally have a lot of curves and contours the A-Cup suction cups are recommended for this setup because they can conform the curves. When possible magnets are preferred because of the more solid connection.

RigMount XL is a robust mounting platform designed for mounting brushless gimbals. This configuration builds on the popularity of the RigMount X magnetic mount. Brushless gimbals have quickly become a regular part of on-location production and the RigMount XL provides a quick and secure way to get dynamic shots from vehicles.

The RigMount XL provides a wide “stance” which is ideal for the higher centre of gravity associated when mounting a gimbal. The wider stance also helps distribute the weight of the gimbal and camera over a greater area so flex in body-panels is not an issue. This wider stance is also ideal for mounting larger camera rigs without a gimbal. Parts are precision machined from 6061 aluminum and machined to a tolerance of .001″.

As with all RigWheels products, there are many different ways you RigMount XL Gimbal Mount can configure components depending on the shot you’re trying to get and the surface you’re mounting to. The RigMount XL shares some of the same components with our other mounting and dolly products so if you already own a system you may be able to upgrade to this configuration and vise versa, if you purchase this mount you will have the ability to upgrade to add more functionality.
