Welcome to Wooden Camera
Wooden Camera is now available through Black Flag Distribution, and we could not be prouder to bring it to Australian dealers, rental houses and production facilities.
If you have spent any time on a professional set, you have almost certainly seen a Wooden Camera cage, top handle or power plate holding a rig together. The brand has earned its place on cameras of every size, from compact mirrorless bodies to full scale cinema packages, by doing one thing exceptionally well: making camera accessories that simply work, every take, every day.
In this introduction we look at what sets Wooden Camera apart, why it resonates with filmmakers who genuinely care about their craft, and how it fits into a wider system of tools you already know and trust.
What makes Wooden Camera different
Wooden Camera designs around each individual camera rather than forcing every camera into one generic rig. Each cage, plate and bracket is shaped to the body it is built for, so ports stay accessible, controls stay reachable and nothing gets in the way of the operator.
That camera specific approach is backed by a few principles you will find across the whole range:
- Industry standard mounting everywhere. Generous 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, with locating holes compatible with ARRI standard locating pins, so the accessories you already own simply bolt on.
- Thoughtful details that protect the shoot. Engraved focal plane markings, cable clamps that stop HDMI and USB-C connections pulling free, and pass-through slots that keep cable runs tidy.
- Modularity by design. Recent systems are offered as half cage, full cage, Core and Elite builds, so a rig can start lean and grow with the job, rather than paying for parts you will never use.
- Built for working sets. Precision machined hardware made to be mounted, unmounted and thrown in a case day after day, job after job.
The result is gear that disappears into the workflow. You stop thinking about the rig and start thinking about the shot.
Made for filmmakers who care about the craft
Wooden Camera is for people who treat filmmaking as more than a job. The camera operator who rebuilds a rig three times to get the balance right. The owner operator who wants a build that looks as professional as the work it produces. The rental house tech who needs every kit to come back in the same condition it went out.
These are people who notice the small things, and Wooden Camera is built by a team that notices them too. A handle that sits exactly where your hand expects it. A battery plate that keeps weight close to the body. A cage that protects the camera without adding needless bulk.
Whether you are shooting a passion project on a weekend or running a multi camera drama for a broadcaster, the range scales with you. Entry configurations get a camera production ready quickly, while the deeper accessory range lets experienced crews build exactly the rig they have in mind.
Leading innovation, camera by camera
Wooden Camera has a long track record of having accessories ready when the industry's most important cameras arrive. Its current range covers bodies such as the RED KOMODO-X, Sony BURANO, Sony FX3 and FX30, Canon EOS C400 and Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K and 17K (RedShark News).
A few recent releases show how the team keeps pushing forward:
- Canon EOS C50. A low profile, gimbal ready cage, expanded power options and dedicated supports for Wooden Camera's RF to PL and RF to LPL lens adapters (CB Insights news summary).
- Fujifilm GFX ETERNA. A modular three part top plate that works with either the native handle or the Wooden Camera Ultra Handle, plus the D-Box for secure power distribution (Newsshooter).
- Sony FX2. A three piece cage system offered as half cage, full cage, Core and Elite builds, giving operators more ways to buy exactly what they need (ProVideo Coalition).
That is the real value of the brand: when a new camera lands, Wooden Camera is usually already thinking about how crews will rig it, power it and protect it.
One system, working together
Wooden Camera sits within Videndum's Creative Solutions family alongside Anton Bauer, Teradek, SmallHD and Sachtler, and that shared heritage shows on set. These brands are designed to live on the same rig, so building a complete camera package feels joined up rather than pieced together.
- Anton Bauer power. Wooden Camera battery slides and plates come in V-Mount and Gold Mount versions, ready to carry Anton Bauer batteries and distribute power cleanly across the rig.
- SmallHD monitoring. Wooden Camera monitor mounts and arms give SmallHD monitors a secure, adjustable home, whether on the camera or on a director's stand.
- Teradek wireless video. Cages and rails offer plenty of mounting points for Teradek transmitters, keeping them close to the camera's outputs with short, protected cable runs.
- Sachtler support. A balanced, properly supported Wooden Camera build moves smoothly from shoulder to tripod, sitting comfortably on a Sachtler fluid head.
For dealers and rental houses, this means one conversation can cover the whole package: support, power, monitoring, wireless video and rigging, all from brands designed to work as one.
