I ordered the Wooden Camera cable-less mount in mid April and they have been treating the communication rather badly by pushing the shipping over and over saying "it will ship in three weeks" every time. Now they've done it again at the time it should have been shipped so there's no guarantee that they will actually ship at that time, it could be months away really, no one knows.

So I'm gonna give them three weeks and after that I'm done with WC. Before that I'm looking into other options. The main problem I've had with any other option before was that every one was incompatible with the top handle and Red batteries. As I see it, neither the Element Technica mount, Reds V-lock expander or the new Red V-lock DSCM2 mount will be compatible with the top mount and Red batteries. Is there ANY other option out there that enables a low mounted battery like WC is doing? Putting the battery lower in line with the bottom of the camera?

I've seen the option of increasing the height of the top mount, but first off, it blocks more of the mounted display, since it's higher than it, second, the camera gets pretty high and balances worse when filming while holding the top handle.

So, are there any options that lowers the battery or push it further back to make room for the handle?
