Aaton wood grip adapted to EPIC?

[C.H.Haskell]

That was going to be my next question...looks like AB.

 

[Jason Bognacki]

Working on it ...

Any update on the development of these wooden grips?

The wooden handgrip exists, it's getting the proper trigger connection to the camera that's been the pain. Simple circuit, just need someone to make it. If you want a handgrip simply to hold the camera we can sell you that today. Whenever the trigger is done you could add it on with no retrofit.

Hi Mitch,

That sounds great. Can you post (or email me) the details.

Thanks,

Ben

AbelCine is not currently a sponsor on REDuser, so I wouldn't be comfortable posting a link. But you can go to our website and search for "red handgrip."

Mitch,

Count me in. I have the handle just need that switch YeHa!

 

[Jason Bognacki]

Thanks for the update. Curious what type of rosette this wooden grip will have... Arri standard or Red (dsmc)?

 

[Peter Strietmann]

Peter what battery is that?

Sorry just noticed your question. It is a varizoom D-8081A 88wh. Keeps the epic going for at least an hour and a half.

We can deliver the Aaton handgrip in ARRI Rosette order the original Aaton rosette, but even Aaton has moved away from that one to ARRI now. I have seen a soon to be released ARRI-to-RED rosette adapter from a third party.

Using an old Aaton grip w/ an Abelcine 15mm rod adapter. Works great... but looking forward to upgrading to the triggered version when its ready.

OLOFF at westside AV made me a great handle for my AF 100.. No reason why the handle couldnt be modified with correct cable.. He doesnt do RED, but he may want to start.. westsideav.com

 

[Jason Bognacki]

I would be interested in purchasing an Aaton handgrip in standard Arri rosette...and later upgrading with the start/stop switch when you guys are done fabricating the switch...any link or ordering info?

 

[Ryan De Franco]

Any news? Just realized I want nothing to do with a fancy, weapon like black rig; just remembered operating an Aaton XTR rented from Abel, damn it's been too long.... the wooden handle is just too expensive to buy without the trigger, has anyone figured one out?

 

[Andrew clemson]

Ryan from wodden camera just released arri to red rosette adapters if that helps this quest at all

 

[Tom Gleeson]

Th real problem is creating a switch within the Aaton handle that switches the Epic on and off

Guys i have My Aaton wooden handle mounted on LW 15mm rods. The 15mm rod bracket is one that Aaton made, so it has the rosette on the end of the bracket.
Its a great handle, i have the 2 pin Lemo-Lemo cable that Aaton made for the handle, i guess its a simple wire up to trigger through the BNC on my top plate.......
fingers crossed here i go.........!
cheers

Paul,

Can you show a picture of your handle mount that is not blocked by yhr handle? I still have my Aaton handle from my LTR but it uses a strange clamp onto a square rod system. Lovbe to see how you worked it out.
Be wary of wiring the trigger as it is apparently not simple and the trigger requires power?

Paul,

Thanks for the link. Looks good although its priced old school at $550. Any luck with an Epic on/off switch?

Vocas is now making Aaton style hand carved wooden grips. Saw them at NAB. They are nice systems but pricey:
