CANON 500 f4 on a Scarlet!

[STEVE HOSKINS]

Has anyone got any good contacts for a tripod mount that can take both the Scarlet and lens? I am new to the camera system and as I am an animal specialist in stills where this lens is used a fair amount I would really like to be able to use it on the Scarlet but at present I cannot find a simple way to support both camera and lens.

Thanks

Use a riser plate and 15mm rod adapter, and a lens support. This will allow the camera to support the lens regardless of what tripod or other rig it is mounted on.

These are not the only solution, but are good and popular:

You may need longer rods than the 6", and there are many different lens supports out there, some cheaper and some more expensive.
