The new KipperTie RISA R-XL is a camera-specific top plate designed for RED’s flagship production-oriented camera, the V-RAPTOR XL. It features endless 1/4”-20 and 3/8”-16 mounting points as well as a passive pass-through for the camera’s pogo pins. It retails for £265. While plenty of manufacturers like GDU, 8Sinn, Tilta, IgniteDigi, Modern Film Tools, and more already produce accessories for the standard V-RAPTOR body, choices for the studio-oriented V-RAPTOR XL remain limited. Third-party accessory, KipperTie, is mainly known for producing RED-oriented accessories, like their Strata-PL and Strata PL-ND bolt-on mount adapters for the standard V-RAPTOR body. The company recently came up with a top plate for the “XL” model that sports a smart design. Let’s take a closer look! RED V-RAPTOR XL 8K body.
