Quite well thanks. I have to say it was way busier than I had anticipated.

It was fairly ridiculous... we were busy from open to close. Hell, we had more REDs in our booth than everybody else at the show combined.

Hey Ninjas...Congrats on what sounds like a good showing at the HD-Expo...

I agree...the ET accessories rock!

Since early December I've been beta testing multiple ET accessories, including the EVF mount with my RED EVF. For the past three weeks I've also been beta testing the ET low profile EVF mount that is shown in Evin's Post #21 of this thread. I really like it and I've been giving ET my feedback on it.

I've been using the ET ARRI base V plate (12") and ARRI bridge plates (15mm and 19mm) for over six months now - with excellent results. For field use I usually use a Miller Arrow 55 tripod, so I did a slight modification to the V plate to adapt it to the Arrow 55. The Arrow 55 uses a small snap in plate on the top of the tripod head. The ET V plate doesn't have screw holes that match the Arrow 55 plate. I got a heliocoil kit from a local hardware store ($25), then simply drilled, tapped, and inserted heliocoils in the ET V plate to match the Arrow 55 mini-plate 3/8" screw holes. The ET V plate then worked perfectly on the Arrow 55. Over the months I've loaded it up with an Optimo 24-290, Canon FD 150-600, RED 300, and many other packages and the system has worked flawlessly.

Could we please have somoe more info. I can't tell the difference with regular EVF mount from the picture. Evin, Gibby, or anyone in the know, would you be so kind as to explain the differences.

Many thanks,
Damien

The two beta EVF mounts I’m testing for ET include:

A very low profile machined one-piece mount that goes on the front of the top mount or on top of the top mount. It brings the EVF as close as possible to the left side of the camera and can be used to get it low as well. It can be repositioned along the cheeseplate if desired. This is the mount Evin posted the photos of earlier in this thread.

The second is a tubular clamp that mounts to the front of the top mount and allows infinite side to side adjustment. It is a little bulkier than the first since it holds a 19mm rod sideways to the line of sight but the extra adjustability may be preferred. I'll post some photos when I get a chance.
