Major ADVANTAGEs over everyone else

Hot Rod Cameras is the original innovator of PL mounts for HDSLR cameras. Hot Rod Cameras is the first pro-level solution to mounting cine lenses on HDSLR cameras and offers more styles of cinema lens mounts for HDSLR cameras than any one else.

Here are a quick list of advantages of the Hot Rod Cameras products that no one else can match.

- Multi-camera compatibility, the same Hot Rod CS (Central Support body included with all Deluxe Kits) will safely support PL mounts (and attached lenses) on Canon 7D/5D, Panasonic GH1/GF1/G2/G10, Olympus EP1/EP2 and several forthcoming cameras from Panasonic, Canon and others.

- Hot Rod Cameras Canon modifications are minimally invasive; and should Canon release another HDSLR in the future (they will) the custom Hot Rod PL mount portion can be painlessly transferred to a new camera body.

- Hot Rod Cameras Canon PL mount can also be mounted on a mirror-intact Canon 7D/5D/1D camera body, which retains full use of it's optical viewfinder. Obviously, this results in a smaller selection of compatible PL mount lenses, however, this is a 100% reversible procedure that can be completed in about 5-minutes and will not void the original factory warranty.

- Hand grips are included with every Deluxe kit.

- Extended warranty service (parts and labor) for the 7D-PL will soon be available.

- More innovative HDSLR accessories designed specifically for the Hot Rod Cameras PL mounts, CS (Central Support Body) and HH (Hand Held Grip) systems are coming in 2010.

- We know that one size does not fit all, so you have the option of modifying a camera you have already purchased.

- The principal design and manufacturing team has nearly 40 years of combined experience building camera equipment for companies like Panavision and Dalsa.

- Patents Pending

- Crafted in small batches in the birthplace of the "Hot Rod", Los Angeles, California
