Aaton wood grip adapted to EPIC?

[Jason Bognacki]

Any update on these w/ a start stop switch?

 

[MiguelOrtega]

putting that ugly handle on a beautifully designed epic must make the designers on the red team cry...

This thread still kicking around i see..>Mitch whats the word, did able ever make a cable for EPIC?

 

[Mitch Gross]

Sorry, no. Figured out how to make it work but cannot seem to get anyone interested in manufacturing the thing.

QUESTION for Paul Moss :
I cannot see on the pics how you attach the rod to the epic body, are you using the Action product ?
Thank you

 

[C.H.Haskell]

Thanks for the quick response Mitch, oh well...lost cause for now. Can you make me one.

+1 on this too

Whats the consensus on this, would this be best powered from a D tap on the battery plate or do people want this completely self contained. Also how important is the Aaton rocker switch, personally I think its really nice.

 

[Tom Gleeson]

Self Contained would get my vote. Dtap or power cord is another piece of spaghetti to tangle and get damaged. What if the power is within a small inline box that goes from the handle to the Ctrl port? Button batteries may do the job as only 3.3-5 volts are required. Hopefully we could keep the Aaton Rocker switch or replace it with a similar one?

It seems Lemac in Sydney have made just the box, its a fairly neat little unit .

If you need one contact Scott at lemac he should be able to help you out..

aaton + red

aaton + red

Wanted to keep it small... 3V lithium and electronic all fitted into an original aaton handle !

Just removed the original lemo plug and went with a direct cable for the EPIC / Scarlet (using RED's 4-pin-00-lemo-to-flying-lead). Also changed the switch to a red push "momentary" button. Will see how long the battery will last but so far very happy with it

 

[John-Erling H. Fredriksen]

Do you have any more info on how you did that, or is it a trade secret?

Very interested in making the same build for myself... Or do you take orders?

send me a private msg with your email so I can forward you a small pdf I made with the instructions / quick how-to and shopping list...

Late to the party

I am years late to this thread, but I'm still looking for a decent record start/stop handle. Is a custom job still the only way?

 

[Erich Roland]

there are a few nice wooden handles with start switches now in the wild, not sure who has red.

Vocus, WC, and I think Small Rig also.

 

[Tristan Pemberton]

I have a KinoGrip.

Really nice build quality that's made to last.
