Bright Tangerine Cine Tape rangefinder mount for Misfit Kick, Kick 360 & ARRI LMB matte boxes

Bright Tangerine has released its new Cine Tape rangefinder mount for the Misfit Kick, Kick 360, and ARRI LMB matte cases.
The Rangefinder Stand provides a swivel base to support optical measurement devices such as a Cine Tape, CineRT Focusbug, or ARRI UDM-1.
Optical measuring devices require a line of sight which usually places them in front of and above the matte box. This creates a problem when filters or lenses need to be changed because the assembly becomes an obstruction to AC power and they then have to remove the Cine tape first. When returning the assembly, if the sensor is not returned to the same position, it must be recalibrated to ensure accurate readings, taking up critical time on set.
To solve this problem, a swivel base allows the rangefinder assembly to swivel for unobstructed access to the matte box. The sensor assembly can then return to its original position, eliminating the need to recalibrate. The knurled locking knob secures the base, with notches every 45 degrees for quick alignment.

The cart has a 3/8-16″ anti-twist mount and is compatible with the ARRI LMB accessory rail (K2.0013014) and the ARS line of rails for top handle or cage mounting.

Installation of the rail requires only two bolts, connecting to the upgraded upper flag mounts on the Misfit Kick and 360. This means it can be installed and removed without disassembling the matte box. Widely spaced mounting points minimize any flex and increase stand stability. Safety stops at each end prevent the stand from accidentally slipping.
