The Ultimate Cinema Rig for the Nikon ZR: OMNIA Edition

Nikon's first RED-powered cinema camera deserves a purpose-built rig. The OMNIA Edition for the Nikon ZR delivers V-Mount power, D-Tap distribution, and a custom-fit screen protector designed specifically for the ZR's massive 4-inch display.

The Nikon ZR changes the game. A compact, full-frame 6K cinema camera with internal R3D Raw recording, 32-bit float audio, dual base ISO, and Nikon's proven Z-mount autofocus — all for $2,199 USD. It borrows RED's legendary colour science and pairs it with Nikon's deep-learning AF system and 7.5-stop in-body stabilisation. For filmmakers, it's one of the most capable cinema cameras ever made at this price point.

But to truly unlock its potential on set, you need more than just the body. You need all-day V-Mount power, proper accessory distribution, and a professional rig that transforms the ZR from a compact mirrorless body into a full cinema camera setup.

That's exactly what the Rigid.PRO Nikon ZR CineRig Base (OMNIA Edition) was built for. It includes everything the standard OMNIA offers — plus a larger screen protector engineered specifically for the ZR's 4-inch vari-angle LCD.

The Nikon ZR was designed to shoot cinema-quality footage in a compact form factor. But compact comes with trade-offs:

The OMNIA Edition solves all three — in one product, purpose-built for the Nikon ZR.

Why the Nikon ZR Gets Its Own Screen Protector

The Nikon ZR features a 4-inch vari-angle LCD — significantly larger than the screens on most mirrorless cameras. The standard 68mm universal screen protector included with every OMNIA fits the majority of cameras, but it's not large enough to fully protect the ZR's expansive display.

That's why the OMNIA Edition for the Nikon ZR ships with both protectors: the standard 68mm for when you swap the rig to a different camera body, and a larger protector engineered to match the ZR's 4-inch screen exactly. Full coverage, zero compromise.

1. All-Day V-Mount Power for 6K R3D Raw

The Nikon ZR shoots 6K/60p R3D Raw internally — a first for any mirrorless camera at this price. But that kind of processing power demands serious energy. The EN-EL15c battery won't last long. The OMNIA provides V-Mount or Gold Mount battery power with four D-Tap outputs, a master power switch, and an LCD voltage display. Attach a 150Wh V-Mount battery and shoot all day without a single battery swap — while simultaneously powering your monitor, wireless transmitter, and audio gear from the same battery.

2. Purpose-Built Screen Protection for the 4-Inch LCD

The ZR's 4-inch, 3.07 million-dot, DCI-P3 display is one of its standout features — bright, accurate, and essential for on-set monitoring. The OMNIA Edition includes a dedicated larger screen protector that fits the ZR's display precisely, keeping it safe when the screen is tucked into the rig. You also get the standard 68mm protector for when you move the OMNIA to a different camera body.

3. Arca-Swiss Quick Release

The ZR's compact, EVF-less body was designed for versatility — gimbal, tripod, handheld, shoulder rig. The OMNIA's integrated Arca-Swiss quick release system lets you pop the ZR in and out of the rig in seconds. Go from a fully rigged cinema setup to a bare gimbal-ready body without unscrewing anything. Essential for documentary and run-and-gun work where speed matters.

4. Four D-Tap Outputs for Your Entire Kit

Running a SmallHD monitor, a Teradek transmitter, and a wireless audio receiver? That's three accessories, each needing power. Without the OMNIA, that's three separate batteries with three separate chargers. With the OMNIA, one V-Mount battery powers everything through four D-Tap outputs rated at 10A total. Fewer batteries on set means less weight, less downtime, and less gear to manage.

5. No Cage Required

The OMNIA works with any cage or without a cage entirely. Attach the included Arca-Swiss base plate directly to the bottom of your Nikon ZR and drop it into the rig. This keeps the setup as lightweight as possible while still giving you full V-Mount power and professional mounting options. If you add a cage later, the OMNIA adapts without any changes.

6. Universal — Protect Your Investment

The OMNIA isn't just a Nikon ZR rig. It works with every camera body and every cage. If you add a Sony, Panasonic, Canon, or Blackmagic camera to your kit, the same OMNIA handles them all. One rig, unlimited cameras. Your investment is protected no matter how your kit evolves.

7. Aerospace-Grade CNC Aluminium Construction

The OMNIA is machined from solid billet aerospace-grade aluminium — not 3D-printed, not die-cast. Every unit is CNC machined and anodised for a premium finish that matches the build quality of the Nikon ZR itself. Available in five colours: Pitch Black, Arctic Blue, Crimson Red, Burnt Orange, and Pastel Pink.
