Cinematographic synergy unveiled: SmallRig partners with Transformers to infuse filmmaking accessories with iconic characters
In an exciting turn of events, SmallRig, a leading brand in filmmaking and photography equipment, has teamed up with the iconic Transformers franchise to create a limited-edition series of gear that promises to revolutionize the way creators work.
Pre-Booking and Launch Dates
The pre-booking period for this highly anticipated collaboration begins on August 13, 2025, and runs through August 28. The official launch of the SmallRig x Transformers line will take place on August 28, making it available for purchase.
A Transformative Lineup
The collaboration includes a variety of Transformer-themed products, such as camera cages designed for leading mirrorless camera models with black and yellow colors, phone rigs and tripods with distinct designs inspired by Transformers, power systems, lighting, handles, shoulder rigs, stabilizer rigs, and microphones.
Bold and Battle-Ready Designs
The SmallRig x Transformers collection leans heavily on Bumblebee's yellow colorway in the press material and the video shown above, but more options may be available on SmallRig's website. The design team has embraced "bold dynamic hues" to create pieces that pop visually while still fitting seamlessly into a professional setup.
Camera cages will be accented with Autobot insignias, tripods finished in bold, battle-ready color schemes, and accessories detailed with metallic elements. The reimagined gear features vivid, cinematic colorways, heroic detailing, and a design language inspired by the Transformers universe.
Special Offers for Early Pre-Orders
Early pre-orders come with two perks: a free coupon valid from August 28 to September 28 on collaborative products and automatic entry into a lucky draw for a limited-edition Transformers Tool Kit Gift Box.
Design Competition and Gift Offers
Fans can submit their own Transformers-inspired product ideas. The most popular concepts could be turned into actual products, with one winner receiving a $500 coupon. Purchasers are eligible for a TF Tool Kit Gift Box upon qualifying purchases by September 28.
A Symphony of Creativity
This collaboration is a reflection of both brands' shared DNA built on adaptability and innovation. The SmallRig x Transformers line will completely reimagine the look of core products, offering creators a chance to infuse their work with the spirit of the Transformers universe.
As a photographer, filmmaker, creative director, and writer with over 10 years of experience in visual storytelling, I wholeheartedly support injecting character into filmmaking and photography equipment. This collaboration is a testament to the power of creativity and the impact it can have on our work as creators.
