Look at my cool new Nikon Mount!

[J. Bernard Vallon]

HA! Its awesome!

Time for shooting! Thanks Doug!

 

[Anthony Gratl]

That looks amazing. No issues with backfocus or otherwise? Have you got any pictures of attaching the new mount?
Happy shooting...

 

[Dexter Gregoire]

It looks nice. Give us some details.
Does it replace the PL mount from RED?

 

[J. Bernard Vallon]

It replaces the PL mount from red. Doug collimated it in a few minutes (its in the video, he went slowly for demo purposes), no issues so far. I'll post images shortly.

Thanks for the videos. Collimating is easier than I thought.

Don't ever do it to the little onboard LCD!

Unless that's the only place you'll ever view it.

At leaet not until 1:1 zoom is enabled...

 

[Laco Zamba]

Is it 17-35?

If you use the "focus assist" graph at the bottom, the focal accuracy should not be limited by the monitor display resolution (at least, as I understand it). Although I'd still like to use a larger monitor just since the graph appears so small on the onboard LCD. It would be nice to have an option to show the focus assist graph at fullscreen size. Hint, hint.

[planet e]

can you at least tell us if it is less than, comparable to, or more expensive than RED's mount? is that a 17-35mm on the camera?

and thanks to you and doug for those youtube videos. they're pretty informative.

 

[J. Bernard Vallon]

I have no idea what doug will charge people, you'll have to ask him.

 

[Douglas Underdahl]

Will post more info on Friday - thanks

Doug
