Light wieght rod system.

[Darryl Wood]

I am looking for a light weight bracket for the RED that will enable me to mount the Arri SR Light weight rail system. Does anyone know of a person/company who already makes them?

Long Valley is OK and very light but needs its own 15mm rods.
Element Technica is a bit heavier and bulkier, but would admit exisring LW 15mm rods.

Thanks but I already know about them. I have seen one somewhere but cannot find it now so if anyone has got one or know where I can buy one then it will save me the effort to build it.

I want to attach this Arri SR2 rod system to the front of the RED. It has the "horseshoe" type locking system.

Don't know why you would need to make such a specific solution. For the cost of someone making an adapter for that old ARRI standard, one could get a RED-specific mount with the rods included. The length of those rods would be inappropriate anyway as the RED's lens mount sticks out so far from the rest of the body unlike the SR, which has the spinning mirror to clear.

Well, the Arri design is better than the Long valley one on several points. The rods don't spin, they are more parallel, and they are faster to mount. And the length should be perfect for most primes.

Darryl, I wanted the exact same thing, was going to make it, but bought the Long Valley instead. The LV is just so cheap, considering it would take a day to design and make one myself.
