The Zacuto Z-Release line includes:

* The Zamerican™ Large and small articulating arms, the new standard in articulating arms

* The ZicroMount™ is for mounting monitors or hard drives to articulating arms giving you quick release action. Using Zacuto's new Z-lock technology

* The Z-Mount™ is for mounting articulating arms to Baseplates, Zgrips™ or any 15mm rod giving you quick release action.

* Zuds retrofit existing articulating arms giving you quick release action on both ends of your arm. Tighten the Allen screw and the Zud™ cannot come loose, as well, whatever is mounted into it can't move.

* The Zround Mount™ is a retrofit to allow Zacuto DoubleMounts™ & MiniMounts™ to accept Zuds™ or Zamerican™ arms giving you quick release action on your Double or MiniMount.

* The Zdapter™ comes with Zacuto Z-locks™ in 15mm (lightweight rods), 19mm (studio rods), 5/8" (Panavision rods, as well as light stand spuds & C-Stand arms) Z-locks™ mount on the Zdapter™ Backplate vertically or horizontally. This lets you make the Zdapter™ do whatever you need.

* The Wireless Plate screws onto the wireless bracket. Either a 15mm Z-lock (lightweight rod), 19mm (studio rod, 5/8" (Panavision rod) adapter also screws into the wireless bracket. Slide the whole wireless unit onto the appropriate rod and lock tight.

“With Z-Release™ virtually anything can be mounted to this style of camera allowing you to completely customize your HD video camera setup, stated Zacuto Marketing Director Steve Weiss.”
“This is going to change the way people mount gear.”

“What’s unique about the new Zamerican™ articulating arm is that Zacuto has done away with the screws on either end of the arm, stated Zacuto Director of Operations, Jens Bogehegn “An innovative 15mm rod is used to connect items to the arms. Plus you can then use Zacuto’s 15mm rod extensions to extend the arms to any length. If you own an existing arm with 1/4 20" or 3/8 16" screws, just add a Zacuto Zud ¼ 20 or 3/8 16, your arm is now ready for Z-Release™.”
