  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Can you please guide me to a thread, or a picture, where I could see the setup with the mic and the light attached on Scarlet. What are my options here? I'm new to RED cameras and would like to see if I can also use the Scarlet to cover events.
 
I haven't seen a picture but the beauty about the Epic and Scarlet is you can really build and customize them to what works best for you. If I were you I would pick up either Brook's Top Plate (Merely assuming he makes one for the Scarlet once released) or an easy plate/stick from Wooden Camera. This would give you more mounting options. From there You could pick up a hot shoe adapter for both the light and for whichever shock mount you'd like to use with your microphone. I've also personally picked up the Wooden Camera A-Box for an affordable yet reliable way to plug full size XLR's in.

Hope that helps.
 
Welcome to the sexiness that is RED =)
 
Thanks for the posts. And as far as the hand held shooting goes, is there another way to put the Scarlet on my shoulder, other than, using "The Clutch" for $4900.00. Perhaps something similar, for less $$?
 
Hey Patrik, I'm with you, I would love to have a "Clutch" but it's certainly not in the budget at the moment. Steve Gibby recommended on here a while ago before the clutch came out the ET Mantis, and I've heard very good things about it from a few people now. I'm considering it depending on the how much the Scarlet costs and what is left over in my budget. It runs new for about $2,000 it looks like (http://www.elementtechnica.com/products/view.php?p=29).

If that is still out of your budget, maybe someone could recommend one of the heavier duty DSLR Shoulder Rigs?
 
Thanks guys, for the quick posts. Perhaps I'll try to combine Wooden Camera accessories, with element technica, cause I also need to be able to attach a small LED light on the camera. Or maybe I should make a rig with all that I need myself:).

What kind of arm do you have in mind? You have a picture? I'd like the shoulder set up to be balanced too, if possible.
