35mm adapter, supports EVF...

Not much info on it. I couldn't find anything besides this: http://prolost.blogspot.com/2007/06/redrock-gets-it.html

Reminded me of RED-GRIP and RED-RAIL a bit.

I want one.
 
I saw this on prolost as well. I'm hoping they package the thing complete as a deal. looks sick
 
Hi all

I guess things make the rounds :)

This was a concept rig we showed at Cinegear to show that a 35mm lens adapter could be a compact, handheld system, and not limited to just tripod and dolly shots. Also,we wanted to give a flavor of Redrock gear and how it will evolve into the future

My god, that looks awesome. Anyone have any idea about the price? The camera only costs a grand.
 
Man, even with that tiny HV20 on there, it looks impressive.

That's a great looking shoulder rig, for other camera's as well.

Too bad it's not available yet.

Brian, perfect lens for that setup would be the Nikon 17-35 2.8. when are you going to add hard stops to your focus rings so that we can use that lens? Take a look at the hard stops on Zacuto's zip gears... I prefer yours because they are larger and seem like they would compensate for the short focus throw better. Looking forward to someone solving that problem because the 17-35 is nigh-unusable IMHO without hard stops and an expanded focus throw. Or is your answer your upcoming remote follow focus?

Hey Bruce, quick question for you here. If I buy the HV20 and want to use it this summer to shoot some outdoor landscape and nature stuff, is there any type of simple grad NDs or polarizer filters I can somehow get onto the HV20? I won't need an adapter because this will be deep-focus stuff. A grad ND would be super useful for me on an HV20.
 
The hard stops are coming - you are absolutely right about the RR lens gears - the larger gearing is specifically designed to give you more finesse and greater control over still lenses.

You could cheat the focus throw problem a bit by using either a larger lens gear (like those ones with the stand off posts) OR a smaller gear on the follow focus unit. This would not expand the focus travel on the lens, but it would help at the knob on the FF unit. Hard stops should be easy to incorperate either on the lens ring gear or at the follow focus knob.
 
featured camcorder is not HV20 but that rig is soooo coooool
 
it was mounted upside down.. probably to counter the flipped image thing.. and besides.. the cam is so small and basically acting just as a sensor and recorder.. the real shit is the RRM FF and VF. I want this set up.. Who wants to buy a dvx100A?
