Arri MB-17B and Arri lightweight follow focus on RED?

[Ronnie Wenngren]

Hi!
I am a becoming RED user and am selling my Super 16 equipment for buying a RED camera.

I have an Arri MB-17B matte box and I wonder if there are any chance it would fit with the 18-50 RED zoom?

I also have a Chrosziel 16:9 matte box - CWAH-FV, CF-MB/ST - as an alternative - if this works on the 18 - 50 zoom.

I am going to buy the Lightweight Support Bracket for the Red One Camera by Douglas Underdahl - which you mount directly on the camera - to keep the weight down.

I am hoping to use the Arri lightweight follow focus on this 15mm lightweight rods - if the lens diameter allows this.

Appreciate an answer from someone who knows.

you probably should use Jobs/eqp. for hire

Well he's not actually selling in that post, but asking if these items will work. So It's now in the Accessories forum.

It sounds like a good setup Ronnie. I think of my R1 as a drop-in replacement for my SR. I use an LMB-5 with the 15mm lightweight rods that D. Underhal produces. I have been looking at the new ARRI MMB-1 combo for the RED.

Thanks. And your equipment seems nice too. Unfortunately must I sell my Arri - it feels in the heart you know.
