Spotlight on Tools: Red Rock Micro M2 Cinema Lens Adapter

Today we present part one of a two part segment on Red Rock Micro’s M2 Cinema Lens Adapter. 35mm lens adapters have really given independent filmmakers on limited budgets the opportunity to get a cinematic look while shooting on video. Since it’s introduction, the M2 has garnered much praise and now has quite a following from those working in the “pro” sphere, with filmmakers utilizing the adapter on music videos, commercials and feature films.

In this first part of our spotlight, Los Angeles based independent filmmaker and director Stefan Gildden gives us some insight on why he decided to purchase the Red Rock Adapter and what type of work he uses it for. He then takes us through each component of the product as mounted on his Panasonic HVX-200. Finally, we talk about some precautions that should be taken into consideration when shooting with the Red Rock M2.

    Come on guys, the M2 really is the last adapter you’d wanna get nowadays, compared to the SGpro and Letus Extreme. All three are more or less within the same price-range. The SGpro is even cheaper and it blows the M2 out of the water. The M2 used to be at the fore-front but nowadays it’s painfully lagging behind all the others. I hear Redrock might be having some plans for a new adapter but until then the M2 should be at the bottom of your list. Buy the best your money can buy.

    Hi Jason,

    We weren’t saying that anyone had to buy the M2, or any other product for that matter. This was simply a quick overview of a piece of gear and how it works.

    I look forward to giving the SGpro, Letus and many other products a spin in upcoming HDFilmtools.com webcasts.

    Thanks much for the feedback.
