The ORCA Rigalto Backpack System with Easyrig Minimax allows you to carry the Sony VENICE camera on your back, so you can easily use the tethered Rialto extension handheld. The design consists of a large mounting plate secured to adjustable padded backpack straps. Offering a variety of mounting points, the large plate lets you attach ARRI dovetail baseplates, VCT-14 adapters, and other popular supports for quick release mounting of your Sony VENICE.

The Easyrig Minimax skeleton is included and secures to two dedicated brackets that come installed on the large mounting plate. When they're not used for the Minimax, the brackets can be used for cable management. Two Gold mount battery plates are included and attach to the large plate, each offering a D-Tap port. The system comes with a travel case that also has backpack straps as well as a shoulder strap. You can insert the entire Rigalto Backpack System, along with the Minimax, inside the travel case and wear the case as a backpack or carry it over your shoulder.
