How it Mounts
At Cinekit, we always favor hard mounting over suction cups. So, the Rigrod Shock Killer uses a universal roofrack clamping design that will securly hold the upper tubes to the roof of any car.

What's in The Box
What about the tubing?
In order to maintain our vision of providing high end , no-frills camera equipment at an affordable price, the Shock Killer Rigrod is compatible with two types of tubing that you can purchase separately.
EMT
1-1/2 in. Electric Metallic Tube (EMT) Conduit is made of steel and has a nominal measurment of 1.74" outer diameter. Used in old-school Hollywood for one-off complex rigging setups, it is a cheap option to get the job done that can be found at any home improvement store across the country. A typical EMT setup will go for around $150.
Sch. 40 Aluminum Pipe
Schedule 40 1-1/2in Aluminum Pipe. Also known as "speedrail". This is an industry standard in car rigging. Although more expensive, it is a lighter and stiffer option with more after-market support but will need to be ordered online. A typical setup with Sch. 40 pipe will go for around $600 + shipping.

“This rig was an absolute blast to use! After putting it through high speeds, big braking, and a few heavy corners, I realized how much of a beast this thing really is. The footage exceeded expectations and I came out with a happy client!"
Fenn David
Cinematographer
“Shoutout to CineKit for creating a hitch mount gimbal arm solution that is easily accessible for the masses.”
Ryan Duffy
Digital Creator
“…I saw the footage from the test and was very happy with the production and quality that cinekit rig is bringing to the table… definitely on the list of "which do I buy" when it comes to on car camera equipment.”
James Yeoman
Goombah Culture Cinematographer
“it's not justifiable to me to spend upwards of $2,000 on a car rig to get rolling shots. So, when I found the CineKit rig and saw the price and shots it produces, it was a no brainer”
