Tonaci, did you have a custom power cable made by ET? Love that Easy Right setup btw!

 

[Jason Wingrove]

hey Tonaci can you take me through the way the bomb is mounted on the bottom shot? And i presume the cable you have running from the ET battery plate is this one?

Yes, thats is the one. Element Technica can make any custom cable at any length. =)
As for the EVF mounting, I noticed most of the other configurations have the EVF mounted where your head has to tilt upward... so the trick to mounting the EVF lower involved using this little guy: http://www.red.com/store/rail-components/product/dsmc-universal-mount-19mm plus the easy plate from woodencamera: http://woodencamera.com/
In the area directly underneath the lens mount, it provides threaded 1/4-20s...with the easy plate, it allowed me to push the mounting points forward so you can place the evf mount on top of that. =)

My Epic rig is pretty boring, simple... But I like it that way )
(Love the RED VOLTS)

What's that top plate and arm to the left handle. Looks sweet and simple.

Mark,

What is the weight of your config there? I saw a picture of someone using Epic on a Steadicam Pilot (max 10lbs) and wondered what accessories you could get away?

Does the epic, lens mount, media, side handle, redvolt battery, and LCD come in under 10lbs?

I'd try to work it out but I cant find weights for any items apart from the epic body itself.

It's got a bit of weight to it... but still very easy to hand hold. I only use the mono pod because I start to get a sore lower back if holding for two long. Add one mono pod.. fixed

With a RED VOLT in it I just walk around like its an over size Hassleblad with handles. Did you see the quicky surf video we shot.. well that was in this simple mode..

 

[Mark Andersen]

Steadicam set up can be very light (on the sled) don't need monitor, side handle, etc. Batteries and monitor are down below, all thats up top is the brain and lens. Epic is a super light steadicam rig.

Here's mine...

 

[Jason Wingrove]

Perry what is that top handle? You knew we'd ask right?

jas

 

[Jason Wingrove]

Handheld - quickly and easily balanced with the dogbones and adjustable grips. All RED.

Nice setup Marc!

So if this was a shopping list it would be:

Sliding Top Handle
Swat rail?
2 x Jogged Dog Bones
2 x Ball & Socket handles
Wingnut with rosette cap?

and what is the LCD mounted off?
thanks
Jas

 

[Jonathan Stevenson]

and what is the LCD mounted off?
thanks
Jas

Looks like it's bolted into the cheese on the right side of the sliding top handle... Hard to see amongst all the hardware in the shot.

Hi Jason!

That's customer made handle since I can't get the Red Sliding Handle before I need to use the Epic-M for few shooting projects...
thinking to make some more for friends...

 

[Christian Pfeil]

Here's mine...

yop the handle is pretty cool!

can I be your friend? ;-)

Thanks Mark (both of you)

Without the side handle, how would you control the functions of the Epic? Do you carry the redmote in your pocket while using it? I assume the monitor at the bottom of the rig is not the touchscreen but the one built into the steadicam?
But it sounds like it would be possible to use the 'pilot' if it was just the Epic brain and lens.

Just got my 17-50mm Pro Zoom, mattebox cage, Red Focus & some accessories, dress it up for my baby... Hehe...
A bit lazy so just Shot with iPhone

 

[Jean Guerra]

Perry what is that break out box you have there with those red cables?? looks sweat!

 

[Perry Ho]

That's the one from spacecame, just got it last month, still pretty fresh...
