Why not just use a couple of RED side handles on top and bottom rods?

I have a cnc mill and taps... could build one pretty fast if you have some specs ( size ) and where you want the 1/4 20 and 3/8 16 holes. I've been planing on making one with dovetail side and bottom... just haven't gotten around to it.

two side handles work great.

I had a fab shop build me one a couple years ago. Just two 3/8 aluminium plates welded at a 90 and drilled out. Cost $75.

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Made my own out of 1/2" aluminum angle stock. Any machine shop, or anyone with the right tools, could whip one up for you in a couple minutes.

Two side handles work well.

The DEADLYCINE CALAVERA doubles as a portrait plate.

Yes. I own the first one.

I have a film tools tilt plate, http://www.filmtools.com/filmtools-standard-tilt-plate-aka-wedge.html it is great because it is so fast and easy to use. I also have an arril tilt plate that is worm driven and has standard arri dovetail, it is great because you can drive it to a very precise position with the wheel located on the back end of it. I've used both on them on my red with large zooms. They are both well machined but the film tools one is about a quarter the price of the arri.

Yes. I own the first one.

Yup, it works well:

Ronford-Baker make custom portrait/L plates here in the UK

The L bracket that ET makes attaches to our Cheese Plate and gives you 3/8-16 holes to mount a bridge plate. You then slide the camera onto the head just like you would normally, its just in portrait mode... All of your follow focus and matte box accessories mount like they do normally, from the rods coming out from the bottom of the camera so nothing is sideways except the red camera body. And if you have two bridge plates, you can attach one to the bottom of the camera and one to the right angle plate and switching from portrait to standard is really quick and easy.

On a recent portrait format commercial shoot we made a pretty solid rig by using two side handles and a Sachtler wedge plate. Simple, cheap and sturdy.
