Hello Patrick,

-monitor arm TILTA http://www.tilta.com/product/d-36.html
-matebox 450R2 Super Wide Chrosziel (you can mount any lenses, still or PL and big zoom)
-followfocus GENUS (but do not love it)
-hands Cavision (smaller and lighter)

You are a 2 hour drive from me, if you want to try.

Bumping this thread because the holidays are coming and I've got some spending cash. Post your rigs pretty please.

 

[Patrick Tresch]

good idea's Patrick. More often then not most HH solutions are too tall, and top/front heavy. This is going in the right direction... down and rear weighted. Then the next issue is how to get on and off a tripod easily and re-balance.

Wow... this seems a long time ago... ;-) I'm actually designing a shoulder mount based on arri dovetail and some sliding elements that permits to adapt the weight repartition as you like depending on config and going from handheld to tripod within 2-5 seconds. But putting my shoulder where I drawed it, it will make the rig too front heavy. The best Head/eye position would be near the Epic Brain (next to the focus mark). I'll try to make a prototype but won't go into production as like with the FanPlate, people like it a lot but won't buy into it.

Found this thread amusing and helpful awhile back and hoped some animations displaying a few of my epic configs might help rekindle it:

 

[Jordan Buck]

Daniel that is awesome.
Can I ask what your review on the WC shoulder mount is? I am about to bite the bullet on one.

Thanks,

 

[Joachim Hoge]

Daniel, that´s very cool. I think we spoke a while back about backpacks. I found the smallest possible one that I can drag to the mountains with a fully assembled EPIC that is ready to shoot. It´s a Haglofs (Swedish brand). I´ll try to post some pics here soon

Here's the new top handle by SmallRig (purchased on Amazon). I love how I can mount the 5" touch screen to the top of the handle (on the cold shoe mount)

Hi Jordan, I really like the x shoulder mount, however I find it to be a bit heavy. I am actually selling mine if you are interested, just don't use it very often. Here is the thread with price on the shoulder mount: https://vimeo.com/89149698

I prefer these two handles for shooting handheld with the epic:

I will try and post pics soon of how I set this up with the 100mm nato rail and how the screen mounts onto handle with 70mm nato rail, pretty cool setup indeed.

Joachim would be interested in a photo of your epic backpack rig for sure.

Cheers!

I figured I would try reviving this thread. Always cool to see how people run their Epics.

Here's my Dragon all grown up. I will replace the O Connor O Box with a Bright Tangerine Strummer at some point but for now, this will work just fine.
