  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Little problem with Sliding Top Handle

Webster Miller said:
Chad and Jeffrey,

What length SWAT rail did you use?

Yes I'm using the 100mm. The only thing I'm upset about with it, I'm thankful for the safety reasons but the length interferes with the VF battery plate. Where as before the design did not. If you plan on using a plate with the tophandle it would be good to get some kind of riser on top of the camera to lift up the top handle. Maybe it's only a problem with the VF plate, not sure but I just screwed the back cap off for the time being as I couldn't get the rosette off. I'll be picking up the WC mount top plate at some point in time, which will allow me to put the back cap back on.

I've also contemplated the outrigger handle but I don't feel I'd use it to much until I had my sidehandle, which are still in backorder. Which is the reason I went with the tophandle for the time being.

Brent thanks for the reply.

This is one of the options that I have been thinking of doing.

But I may also want a side handle (left side). Also, what are people doing if they want the LCD more to the side?

I would say the outrigger handle or something similar. Also there is the good old arm that you can use. There is also the spinner mount, and i believe a few other companies offer similar options. From what I understand, the cable what comes with the LCD is not long enough so you'll have to get a longer one to mount more to the side.

Thanks for the info Jeffrey. I am still waiting for the Scarlet and Sidehandle. I will be getting additional accessories, when I figure out what they are.

No problem. Thats kind of how I approached it. I started so that I could shoot. Now I'm starting to add on as I need too.
 
If your concerned about the handle sliding off Wooden camera do a great Safety Nato rail with stops on it to prevent kit sliding off the rail. Reds stuff is great, no disrespect the but the safety button on Wooden camera rail is a good move.

The main issue with the handle is it fouls tall V loc bricks if mounted on the back of the camera
