SHAPE Launches Director's Kit for Ovide KOKO 10" Monitor

Launched in June 2023, the Ovide KOKO stands out with its advanced features, including six 12G-SDI inputs/outputs, an HDR DCI-P3 touchscreen, and the capability to record in Apple ProRes format directly to a standard 2.5″ SSD. It supports recording from one 4K camera or up to four 1080p60 cameras simultaneously. Despite its robust capabilities, the KOKO’s size (25 x 16.9 x 3.3 cm) and weight (1.3 kg) make it a less portable option, prompting SHAPE to offer a solution that addresses these challenges.

Kit Components and Features

The director’s monitor kit from SHAPE for the Ovide KOKO includes four primary accessories: two side handles, a sun hood, a camera strap, and a 5/8″ pin bracket, designed to improve handling and versatility on set.

Side Handles: These quick handles are equipped with ARRI anti-rotating mounts, allowing for easy attachment and repositioning on the KOKO’s aluminum body, which is dotted with 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 mounting points.
Sun Hood: The custom sun hood provided by SHAPE attaches with velcro strips and is secured with an elastic band, ensuring that it does not obstruct any mounting points on the monitor.
Camera Strap: To alleviate the discomfort of carrying a heavy monitor, the kit includes a universal camera strap with quick-release attachments, enhancing mobility and comfort.
5/8″ Pin Bracket: For secure placement on light stands or C-stands, the kit features a 5/8″ pin bracket with ARRI anti-rotating pins, ensuring the monitor remains stable and secure during use.

SHAPE’s director’s monitor kit for the Ovide KOKO 10″ monitor-recorder addresses the needs of filmmakers seeking enhanced portability and functionality in their equipment setup. With thoughtful design and practical components, this kit promises to make the use of the Ovide KOKO on set a more efficient and enjoyable experience.
