Arm to protect protruding SSD?

[Julio Quintana]

Hey guys. I feel like I'm constantly slapping directors' hands away as they push on the SSD to make subtle pans. Is anyone making a bolt on arm that only protects the SSD, but doesn't greatly increase the width of the camera? I'm using the RED top plate and DSMC quick release base.

Ive thought a tactical rib located correctly with some attached swing-away -tab of sorts could work well...

That would be great if it was swing away. I keep expecting Viewfactor or Wooden Camera to release this. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Our new cage system protects the SSD, I'll post some photos of it this weekend. hint hint

Even something with a wingnut actioncould work well. As long as it's tooless..

I've recently started mounting a RED handle on the rods on the back of the camera as "SSD protection", but I would love a more elegant solution.
