[George A.]

Hi!

I really need a BOLT-ON SWAT RAIL CLAMP like this one:

Anyone has one for sale?
I'd prefer one in New York City or around. I'll buy one this week.

Thanks!

If you are willing to buy new, you could get one from Wooden Camera. Much cheaper than the RED version, very well made (I have one and am ordering a second any day now), and Ryan's customer service is absolutely outstanding. An order placed before 3 PM CST will almost surely ship the same day. Not affiliated in any way with WC, just impressed with the way Ryan does business.

Does it fit RED's own Swat Rails?

Does it fit RED's own Swat Rails?

I'm sure it does, as it fits the integral swat rail on the DSCM top mount perfectly. Virtually all of WC's accessories are made specifically for RED cameras and therefore maintain compatibility with other RED accessories. Only something like the Arri rosettes would be incompatible with RED rosettes, and even then WC makes RED spec rosettes.

Does it fit RED's own Swat Rails?

Yes. I just went to the Red store in Hollywood today with my Wooden Camera NATO clamp and tested it on one of RED's SWAT rails. Worked like a champ. Bought the 50mm SWAT rail to bolt to my wooden camera shoulder rig so I can mount the LCD on the crossbar. That way I can go from tripod to HH mode in seconds.

I will say the one thing I like about the Wooden Camera NATO rails is that they have a safety pin on the ends that prevent your stuff from accidentally sliding off.
