RigWheels MAG-Tight
The MAG-Tight Camera Windshield Mount is the most practical way you’ll find to mount a DSLR sized camera or other production devices, like transmitters, monitors and antennas, to a vehicle. With the growing popularity of shooting content inside of cars and the unmistakable front-on two-shot that you see everywhere, The Righweels MAG-Tight windshield mount provides an ideal solution by overcoming many challenges that typically arise when using traditional suction or hard-mounting techniques.
IT’S FAST!
There couldn’t be anything faster then snapping a couple magnets snapping together. Speed is critical for todays production environments and when you have fast tools you can get more content for your clients.
IT’S RELIABLE.
Forget about pumping your vacuum suction cups! This product was developed for a project where the cameras would be living in vehicles for up to a week at a time. If you’ve worked with suction mounts you know that they will loose power over time and more than that, it’s a thought that sits in your head the entire time you’re using suction which distracts you from the real work at hand. With our rubber coated magnets your camera will stay attached all day, all month, all year. This product is designed for HDSLR with compact glass or smaller (it can work for larger but that is at your discretion).
IT’S SOLID
With suction you’re using a material that is inherently flexible (rubber) to try to achieve a solid shot. This can introduce a lot of flex and vibrations. The MAG-Tight windshield mount essentially provide you with hard mounting points which yield much better results.
IT’S SMALL
One of the challenges with traditional rigging is the space necessary. In the interior space of a vehicle you need every millimeter you can get to tuck the cameras into the windshield deep enough to 1) stay out of the frame of other cameras 2) get as far away from the driver/passenger as possible to minimize distortion. The RigMount magnets are about 1/4″ thick and enable tricky placements quickly and easily.
IT’S VERSATILE
Like all RigWheels products, you can use these components individually for other purposes like mounting cameras and accessories to the exterior body panels of vehicles, railings, vending machines…. There are a lot of metal surfaces in the world!
