Help with RED Matte Box set-up please...

[Joseph Cook]

Probaby a very noob question I know but can not figure out exactly what I need to save my life to get this RED Matte Box to work with our current set-up (RED Epic-W). Can anyone tell me PLEASE exactly what we need, there seems to be so many options I am confused as to what will work. We currently have the RED Matte Box Cage, Matte Box Rod Support, DSMC Universal Mount 15MM, and Wooden Camera Epic-W Base Kit. (Easy Top, Easy Rider, LW 15mm Bracket, Top Handle, and 2x 15mm Rods) Obviously I can't use the LW15MM bracket and rods for the Matte Box because the rods do not line up with the DSMC Universal Mount. I see that there are several options but not sure which is the best set-up without costing another small fortune. Thanks so much for your help.;

This is the Wooden Camera Kit we have:

MATTE BOX ROD SUPPORT

you need all of that and the red lens support for either the 15 or 19mm rails.

Or you could just go the clip on route, where you get the appropriate ring for the outer diameter of your lens and voila. No dealing with support, rods and such...

yep! for sure. i believe they only make very large diameter lens rings so unless you are shooting with cine lenses, you will be forced to go the other route.
