Shooting Vertically

[Thomas Akira Nakasone]

I need to rotate the camera 90 degrees, effectively shooting vertical frames. Yes I know, for years I have been telling all my fashion photog friends how much more cinematic the frame is horizonatally - and now I have done a 180 - pitched a concept and need a solution.

Does anyone know anything that will function like this (I don't need to do 0 through 90...just 90) :

[/QUOTE]


Or has anyone had experience with this? Better yet can anyone make a bracket like this one to function with EPIC/SCARLET?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.

I use an Arca Swiss Adjustable L Bracket...

Works pretty nicely. I have some FMJ Side Handles on order and may just mount a quick release to them in the future.

Thanks boss!

I use a 20 dollar self made home depot bracket - call me funny but I think
450 bucks for an angled piece of metal is slightly excessive.

I do that all the time for shooting models on white and greenscreen. works well.

axel, could you elaborate on what you constructed your DIY bracket from?

Really Right Stuff makes great L brackets. I did not measure yet, but I think this one fits ($109.-)

I wonder how the L bracket (or even their normal plates) and clamp hold up with the weight of epic/lens/evf/etc... ???

Not sure, but The Cloud can hold up a mid-size sedan

Nathaniel beat me too it It's indexed at about 45 degree incriments, but definitely can do 90 each way. This pic gives you an idea of the mounting options - standard cheese hole spacing

Would that work with a RED One?

This is a little pricey but is also excellent in landscape modes, http://www.filmtools.com/filmtools-standard-tilt-plate-aka-wedge.html

We've tried Scarlet on it and just saw an Alexa pic using it. Properly mounted/secured, it can support the weight of a RED no problem.

+1 on this one. It supports a ton of weight but it is pricey.

If you have the Viewfactor FMJ top/bottom then the side rail/handles allow you to mount a QR plate directly to the side.
Voilla! Vertical camera.

brilliant, low profile, and simple!

As Evin says, the FMJ kit is great, very flexible. One reason I got it early on was the ability to mount Epic vertically. I normally use a short Arri dovetail plate bolted to FMJ side arms. Could also use any number of other plates to attach to other types of tripod heads. Very light, simple, keeps center of gravity low and centered over head. Neat.

 

[Ted Parkes]

Manfroto makes a 90 degree bracket that would definitely support an Epic or Scarlet.
