Shall I buy ARRI PCA for BMCC or buy rig from various manufacturers?

I'm reading around forums everyone writes Wooden Camera cage, Redrock Rails, Viewfactor cage, tilta rig etc many others...but no one has ever written ARRI PCA for BMCC so I want to know are this perfect for bmcc ?and are these extremely strong.


2. I importantly want to know cost wise difference is buying set of ARRI PCA for BMCC and other manufacturers? HOW MUCH PRICE DIFFERENCE its going to happen approximately bettween general most selected rig vs arri PCA for bmcc...

Thanks in advance

I can't see a figure anywhere on that website for how much the Arri rig costs, but I expect the price dfference between that and anything else would be quite large. Arri make equipment for the very top level of filmmaker; it's indestructible, but that always comes with a hefty price tag.

For $1200 you probably get the rods only . The price for the full kit at least in Germany is more around $8'000...

Some alu profiles
Some drills
Some threading tools
Some black spray

Done!

DIY cage is the best alternative

$1200-$11.000 for a cage kit
