Please make a Lego room in the stores, or some sort of way to see rigging ideas on the website. There's so many options it's hard to picture configurations only seeing each piece individually online.

That's an extremely complicated project, they're braver than me if they're undertaking it.

I would love to build those models. But I'm sure they're already made.

Yes - Kipp handles can be bought anywhere in the world (including Denmark). Brdr. Klee used to have have Kipp handles - but now they have a whole bunch of similar ones: http://www.klee.dk/catalog/index/nodeid/n_lever

Great! Thanks (tak!) Tony

Just wondering what the basics to attach my Epic to a tripod would be? I see a bottom plate and the dove tail mentioned in the store but I guess what Im wondering is can or will I be able to use my ET/Arri standard dove tail with the Epic attachments I see in the store or should I plan to get the total dovetail and locking bracket that is offered.

 

[Curran Giddens]

Russ, the Dovetail version of the Red Quick Release baseplate works with the ET / Arri standard dovetails.

Any idea when I can purchase this from the store?

Can I use the new QUICK RELEASE PLATFORM directly on an ELEMENT TECHNICA MANTIS ?.

Element Technica says THE MANIS is "designed specifically for Arriflex style bridge plates"

Thanks.

I don't have a Mantis, but I have used the QR platform on the ET Dovetail and it works.

Yes you can, we have done this, as we use the Shoulder pad plus dovetail plate form the Mantis and everything else form the RED CLUTCH,
with the Quick release Pro system, fits like a glove...

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

As Stacey and Ketch both point out, the RED QR dovetail plate fits all ARRI-standard dovetails; including the ET Mantis.

yop, that's another plus for the clutch!
I love that thing, beside the epic.. hehe...

Did I miss the EpicX body re-design, or was that posted somewhere?

Yes, and I found that I can pimp my mantis as shown if photo. Works great for a lower POV. Very stable, too.

Michael, that's awesome! Would you mind posting 1 or 2 more pics from a diff angle so I can fully see how you did that?

also, what parts are that on the rear, the battery plate? i dont recognize it

Hey Ketch,

Even though you're hiding behind the camera ...:001_smile:... I can see that your EVF is pointed up and your head is tilted upwards to greet it.

Isn't there some way with that Spinner mount system to lower the Bomb EVF into a variety of viewing heights so that your line of vision can resemble that of the camera lens?

 

[jonddominguez]

Thanks!

"The Mantis" looks great. I think it's my favourite option for EPIC. But I'll wait to see the price of the whole RED BACKPACK SYSTEM.

That is the only photo I have now. Will have my assistant shoot some more later this week. The battery mount is kludged from taking it off the Red Cradle from my Red One, drilling two holes in the steel back plate and bolting it to the Red One 19mm Top Mount. The Epic is hanging from a Red One Universal Mount via the Brook Willard top plate. I have a couple of 24" carbon fiber rods coming to lighten the rig (I am 61 and find that lighter is better). I find that the Kenyon gyro is not necessary most of the time as this rig is so stable on the shoulder. More photos to be posted when available.

you can mount a swat rail to the side of the FMJ toplate and onto the swat the spinner. works great

 

[Justin R Goff]

That is exactly what i am after. Now when are these guys are going to release it? No information on their website about it.
