Hey guys just wondered if anyone new any cheap options for mounting the red touch to the side of the camera, i am using the zacuto stinger. Also looking to get a top handle so any ideas for that?

Thanks

I'm using the easy stick and top handle from wooden camera. I also had to use a longer LCD cable to the brain to get the handle centered for balance.

x = Wooden_Camera (damn censorship )

I didn't know I couldn't use those words. Woops. Peter was right in what the x was. Guess there must be a reason why their name is not usable here. Some sort of copyright deal maybe? Can't remember if I read that or not. In all honesty other than the cable, the parts could be easily made if you have the right tools.

jup, copyright deal... I think it's very "kindergarden" - but well, just use WC or stuff like "_" or "*" or maybe *-* between the words (I didn't try out everything)... where it gets really nasty is when you want to actually link to them via URL - no chance to do so; in one of my sales threads I gave up after like half an hour of editing my post without managing to get a working link to the WC store (and I know some HTML actually)...

but back to topic; We also use the Wooden_Camera top plate plus top handle - if you mount the LCD at the front of the top handle (front not top I mean) you can run it with the original short cable - no need for a longer cable with that option... you're a bit limited in the vertical swivel by doing so but for us it works just fine (you can see our config in the "post your EPIC setups" thread).
