i´m so in love with my handgrips...

[Chris Pyle]

I was just going to say this. Preston....DUH!

Yes, obviously if one HAS a 1st AC. Not everyone has that luxury. It all depends on what you're shooting, and how.

hahaha, jacek

soooo many different manufacturers. hell, think of that: optitek/optitron added to this setup !!!
you are right. my existing setup contains too many products of different manufacturers.
i will not add another manufacturer. such as optitek. thanks for the hint about mixing too many manufacturers.

btw. i love the lens support which i received from you for the 18-85 rpz ;-)

it is soooo easy to remove the left handgrip. sometimes it is on, sometimes it s off. what you can't see is the shoulder pad from allstar. the system is balanced well, even when only one (right handgrip used).
when i need ky left hand on the lens it's off ))
i don't know where to get a arri rosette to 15mm rods mounting solution. even when such a thing exists, the handgrip would be placed too high, for my purposes.
i had to use the Zacuto Sony FS700 Grip Relocators. as i found out and i was searching long, they are the only solution which mounts direct an arri rosette to 15mm rods adjustable in height.
they are great. and they are 199 dollars, thats not expensive.

the only thing i'm not happy 100% is the evf mounting solution...

i will post pics of the rig, if i found someon who shoots the pictures

Man, you're really are set in your ways, huh?

If the guy wants two handles let'em enjoy his rig. I'll tell you one thing for sure, while it may not be my preferred setup I'd shoot some solid stuff with it no problem. The same can be said for Zacuto rigs and the like.

The rig does not matter at all. Only the results.

If you must have the left handgrip on, wouldn't you prefer it closer to the body than the right one? I know everyone has his/her own style, but I think it would be much more comfortable and controllable that way.

BTW, try Solid Camera for the EVF mount.

 

[Norbert Jalitsch]

thanks mitch, i looked on the solid camera evf mount, wow.
i will order it after the new year holidays !!!
best, norbert
