At Cine Gear 2024, SmallRig was showcasing a prototype of their upcoming family of accessories for the Sony BURANO 8.6K full-frame CineAlta cinema camera. On the show floor, we caught up with Manny Moreno from SmallRig to find out more. Introduced back in September last year, the BURANO (our Lab Test here) has been out for a while now and Sony has just announced a firmware update roadmap to make it even better. Meanwhile, many companies have launched their 3rd-party accessories for the camera, including ARRI, Wooden Camera, and Tilta, for example. Others – like Zacuto, MID49, and Bright Tangerine – have even tried to offer an alternative to reposition the camera’s EVF to make it more comfortable to work with. SmallRig has long been producing cages and accessories for hybrid mirrorless or entry-level cinema cameras. But in the past, they rarely approached high-end systems, except for their RED V-RAPTOR Cage Kit, which is now discontinued. Now the company seems to be back targeting more advanced users with their Sony BURANO kit. Let’s take a closer look! Sony BURANO with SmallRig accessories.
