I'm pretty excited by this simple device...the Bogen Nanoclamp 386B
It's a rail clamp that fits tube sizes 13-35mm, so you can move it from your 15mm top rods to your 19mm bottom set-up, all in a single INEXPENSIVE device. You can under-sling your LCD with ease, use it for mic mounts, wireless mounting, on-camera light, you name it...it has 3/8'' and 1/4'' female screw attachments, so it is pretty flexible. And can hold up to 12 lbs. of weight.
And it adds very little weight to your camera, so it is great for lightweight set-ups.
Most mounting devices for the RED cost you hundreds of dollars for the same functionality, but this little doo-dad will set you back $30. It's the most lightweight and flexible mounting device that I've seen, and can be used in a bunch of applications. Did I mention it is only $30?
I've been using a Zacuto mount to hold my LCD, but this is just as good and it costs about $250 less....don't get me wrong, I love Zacuto stuff and just sent them another $2300 of my money for a follow focus, which looks very nice, and some lens supports.
But how often do you get away with a $30 part for the RED?? Especially one with this degree of functionality....
Here are some pictures...I threw these together with the LCD, but it can be used with a lot of other accessories as well. I tried to show the flexibility -- top mounted on 15mm rods, underslung on 19mm rods, and mounted to a tripod leg, all within a matter of seconds....
