Just thought I'd share my setup! :wink5:
 
How do you place the LCD and the top handle?
And by the way, how does leather feel?

The LCD goes on the top handle with the 16x9 INC Cine Lock, it's like a mini tripod quick release. Bolt one side to your camera and one side to your LCD. It's really awesome.

Does the LCD hold well on one screw? No wiggling?

I'll be honest- the single screw on the base part and the LCD part is the one thing I hate about the mount. If you twist the monitor clockwise, the mount loosens pretty easily. I think my next move will be to put a swat rail on top of the handle, then buy wooden camera's little swat adapter piece. That should be a nice solution. Until then, I just tighten the screw like a mother f*cker :)

I just saw Jarred post a picture of something similar that Red is making, so it'll just come down to price :)
 
Yeah I was considering NATO clamp, but I still have to figure stuff out. I'm trying to come up with a way to mount the top handle, side handle, LCD and rods, and be able to take the LCD on and off fast enough, and not clog up the camera's top as well. Ugh. Where was that Jarred's picture?

Thanks for the heads up!
