It's time to review
The PNC Camera GearBox GB2
Let's get into it
The PNC Camera GearBox GB-2
Is made of black anodized metal
Now there are a few plastic parts on here
Like you got this tightening wheel this is plastic
And also the grips that you hold on to
These are plastic as well but everything else
Metal steel built like a Sherman Tank baby
Now even though it's all metal and steel
This bad boy is light
I love the feel of it the grips work well
In your hands they are very comfortable
And it's about as light as a feather baby
It's like having a feather in your hand
Feather cage
Now if you notice beneath the grips you have these
Extension adapters here
Now you can buy an extra one of these for like
I think ten dollars for a pair or something like that
But basically
This bad boy can fit or at least the claim of PNC is that
If can fit a full-size Canon 5d mark two in the cage
Without even using the extensions I was able to fit
A 70d in here without
Using the extensions and then for the battery grip
Things like that I actually
Had to add some extra extenders on here
Cause I had a battery grip and a preamp on here
And all of that ended up fitting in there
Now the top bracket has 14 1/4" 20 thread holes
That you can use for mounting hot shoe adapters
Mini ball heads friction arms or whatever
And it also has 9 1/4" pass through holes
That way if you got something without a thread
And you want to put a bolt on the other end
Or it's long or something like that
You can put it through that as well that was pretty smart
And pretty crafty by the guys at PNC to
Add in those pass through holes you crafty guys
The bottom of the bracket has 5
1/4 20" threaded mounts for you to
Put a quick release plate
Whatever else you wanna put on here
Now these 15 mm rails
These bad boys are connected through the bottom
Via hex screws so you're gonna have to use
An allen wrench to get at these hex screws on here
And knock these out
And then it also comes with this handy dandy
Thumb wheel here to go ahead and attach your
Camera a quick release plate
Whatever you wanna put on the bottom of this bad boy
Makes it really easy to connect all your stuff
And get it all hooked up
Now on the bottom you actually have a
Tripod mount so you can go ahead and mount a tripod
Mount this on a tripod monopod
Whatever you want baby make it happen
Alright so some important features that I want to talk
About with the GearBox GB-2
They make it easy for you to do things with your
Device so first of all as you can see
I can easily open and close
My LCD screen if I need to on the back of my 70D
Also you got some handy dandy
Pass through holes here if the
Camera was raised up even higher I can get through
And get to all my buttons I can get to get to my knob
And turn it
I can do things straight from the top of this device
Coolio gangsters paradise
And on the bottom of the device there's also a pass
Through where I can get to the battery if I need to
No need to take his bad boy off
Unscrew the thumb wheel and get to my battery
I can get to it right here if I need to
If I had a bigger lens on here or whatever
I can use the 15 mm rails for supporting that larger lens
I could use the 15 mm rails for supporting a matte box
This thing gives you a lot of flexibility
For adding accessories whatever you want
To the device monitors lights mics matte boxes
All that graviness and it comes in at a pretty good price
You're talking about about $120 dollars to $150
At the time of this video
I'm loving the durability of it
Feels real tough and strong
The one thing that I would say
Could be fixed is the thumb wheels on the grips
I think those should be metal like
The thumb wheel that you use to
Attach your device small thing but
I take off marks for it
Overall would I get this
Oh yeah I'd go ahead and get it again
Alright guys you know the routine
The thumb
The one that's pointed in the upward direction
Click it like it live it love it hug it
Show the thumb some love
Comments you know I love comments
If you leave me questions I'll give you answers
If I can't find the answer
I'll point you in the right direction
To get you the help that you deserve
If you need some more Pinnacle Studio love
