Cool - this photo just answered my all my top-handle questions in the other thread. I shoulda guessed - the answer is MODULAR!
 
looks great.

So what's the weight of the system as I'm trying to work out what head to get?
Will the O'connor 1030 work or do you need 2060?
 
Is it possible to top mount the battery with this setup or just have the battery hanging off the back without the drive mount. I'm probably going to be shooting to CF 99% of the time. I'm thinking of a setup similar to the roller blade shot.
 
I think from now on, all still images you post of REDs should be taken by other RED's.

Hey, doesn't that "cage" member sort of get in the way of the side run switch? I know, I know, modular, but I could see someone fumbling for it the way it's laid out...

I really do like the top grip. A bunch.
 
Is the connection to the body going to remain the hex screws or is it going to be some sort of quick(er) release system. If it is going to be hex can you trap them with a retaining ring so they wont fall into the grass and be lost to all space & time?
Thanks.
 
That's a good question on the tripod heads. I need to find one that can do the job...what's your suggestion Jarred?

o'connor 2030 and 2060 have been doing us very well. when you start adding things like matteboxes etc. it quickly passes the 15 pound maximum heads.
 
You must be kidding me with that top handle design. That's freakin' awesome.

Haha, Brook... you're so funny. We always manage to see things the other way around! :)

I actually quite liked the length of the previous top handle design as there was no chance for it to protrude over the lens. The one in the "basic" pack is the other extreme - a small stump that - although I'm sure will be handy for those on a tighter budget - doesn't mount in two places and give that extra support I'll definitely want. I was digging the carbon fiber, too, though I admit that was purely for aesthetic pleasures. :-) Totally minor changes that don't impact what's really important... I can't wait for this baby to come out!!

Ralph Oshiro is going to freak. :)
