Kippon Epic lens mounts

[Nick Gardner]

I own tons of PL mount lenses, but there are a rare few times when a different mount would be nice. Not nice enough to spend the big money on the Red mount, but these fit the bill.

Are these mounts approved?

The Red new aluminum mount is only $200 more, and I GUARANTEE better. Plus, it's not just a dumb mount like this one, which would not even let you change iris at all.

I didn't realize the (cheap) Red canon mount was out yet. I want a cheap dumb mount. I have no need to control electronic lenses. These guys have a nikon mount as well.

If you look at the kipon, you can see that it has an iris built in, hence no electronic control from the epic. Looks like a bad idea.

The Red AL Canon mount is amazing, and worth the money. That could be cheap plastic shit that voids your warranty. Totally worth spending an extra $200.

The only non-red mounts that I think are red approved of are

and

and this

There you go, the cinemods Nikon mount fits the bill. Again, I don't need or want to use electronic control of still lenses. There are just some specialty lenses that can't be had in PL mount affordabley that would sometimes be nice to be able to use. $450 sounds perfect.

Thanks Brad.

I would double check with the Cinemods guys that the Nikon mount is RED approved. The OCT 19 mount, but I'm not sure of the others.

Optitek is also approved.

I have the optitek. Works great for all my Nikon glass , even the sigma 70-200 which doesnt have an iris ring.

Sorry, was not aware of the Optitek mount. I don't have any Nikon glass so I've never searched for Nikon mounts.
