GDU Sidehande is great, but needs this MOD

[Blair Thornton]

I love my GDI left side handle (https://global-dynamics-united.myshopify.com/products/gdu-cowboy-handle?variant=30295208131) and would like to buy a Right one to match, but have concerns about mounting an RTmotion Thumbwheel.

Adrien Oneiga mounts his like this: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbhrp32AHrQ/?taken-by=oneiga

I'd like to see the side handles have a hole bored through the handle and have a small mounting kit like this attached mockup.

Anyone else like to see this?

I have a bracket in production as we speak. The water jet cutter is taking forever! This is the prototype. It will be powder coated black to match the handle. It will work with Teradek RT thumbwheel, cinegears thumbwheel, dji thumbwheel and basically any FF with a 1/4-20" mount. I should have these done in a week or 2.

Sorry for the delay Blair...CES had me busy!
I will have an exact price next week once I have final numbers from powder coating, But definitely under $100 for a pair. and of course you can buy just one as well
I am picking up the brackets from the water jet cutter Monday and getting them powder coated. Each bracket will come with a low profile 1/4-20" screw and there will be a thin anti-twist pad on the outer side.
Once I have them completed, Ill take some photos of the finished product and create a thread here as well as the RED FB groups.

Hey Blair, Sorry for the delay been traveling a lot for work. Was just up in Ottawa last few days shooting..I mean freezing

Here is the finished Universal bracket

I say Universal as this one has a much larger up and down adjustment slot.
I am working on a shorter version that has very little room to adjust up and down but is more designed for the Teradek RT thumbwheel which is really small.
Ill post a few more photos tomorrow morning of just the bracket.
