Zacuto VCT Rotator
L-Bracket Camera Mount for Quick Vertical/Horizontal Orientation Switching
The Zacuto VCT Rotator is a game-changing solution for filmmakers and content creators who frequently switch between horizontal (16:9) and vertical (9:16) video formats. Designed to streamline the transition without disrupting rig balance or accessory configuration, this robust L-bracket mount allows you to rotate your camera setup in seconds while maintaining precise alignment and optimal ergonomics.
Compatible with Zacuto’s VCT Pro Baseplate or VCT Dock, the Rotator is engineered for professional workflows that demand speed, stability, and flexible framing options.
Built for Fast Format Switching
With just a flip of the locking lever, users can:
-
Slide the camera out of the baseplate
-
Rotate it 90°
-
Slide it back into place — ready to shoot vertical or horizontal
This entire process takes only seconds, making it ideal for commercial, broadcast, social media, or documentary shoots where multiple framing formats are required in the same session.
Compatible with Cameras and Key Accessories
The VCT Rotator supports a wide range of camera bodies and integrates with common accessories:
-
Adjustable width and height accommodates DSLRs, mirrorless, and cinema cameras
-
Compatible with camera cages, matte boxes, EVFs, and follow focus systems
-
EVF position remains independent from the camera, allowing seamless pivoting even when switching orientations
Whether you’re using a RED, ARRI, Canon C-series, Sony FX6, BMPCC, or DSLR, the Rotator ensures your accessories stay properly aligned and usable regardless of the shooting angle.
Modular Mounting & Accessory Support
The Rotator includes:
-
¼”-20 and ⅜”-16 screw holes for camera mounting
-
Integrated cold shoe mount for microphones or lights
-
Built-in NATO rail for attaching EVFs, handles, wireless transmitters, or additional accessories
This versatile layout allows creators to customize their rig for shoulder-mounted, tripod, slider, or studio setups — without having to remove or reposition critical accessories during rotation.
Seamless EVF Integration for Ergonomic Operation
The independent EVF mounting point allows operators to pivot the EVF for perfect eye placement whether shooting vertical or horizontal. This ensures:
-
No compromise in comfort or posture
-
Continuous visibility while switching formats
-
Professional framing accuracy with less downtime
