Options for mounting Ki Pro Mini to Epic/Scarlet?

[Luis Caffesse]

There will be times where I will need to turn around 1080p files quickly - as much as I would like to shoot everything at 4K, it simply isn't feasible for every job.
So - I'm trying to find the best way to mount a Ki Pro Mini to the Scarlet.

I'm planning on using a Vmount adapter plate in order to power the Scarlet and then the Ki Pro off the dtap.
I can find a million ways to mount these things with rails... I was just trying to see if there was a decent way to do it without rails as well, just to stay as compact as possible.

I was considering using the AJA mounting plate for the Ki Pro Mini, but I"m not sure if that can be attached to the rear of the Scarlet directly.
Any thoughts or advice, especially from any members using the Ki Pro Mini with Epic, would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't have a Ki Pro Mini in front of me but judging by the photos on the internet it looks like it could be mounted on the rear sort of like what I did here:

The other option is on the side opposite the SSDs. An adapter plate would still be necessary but it could be cool on that side as a pseudo-handle

I noticed mark blogs post said the ki pro mini ships with a mounting plate

There’s a bunch of mounting options from 3rd parties - but AJA ships with a very cool plate that has tons of mounting holes - we grabbed another one and quickly attached it to the a RED Quickplate.

Thanks for that link, J - hadn't seen that.
The Ki Pro doesn't ship with that plate (at least not in the config I have, I guess) - but AJA's mounting plate isn't that expensive ($75).
I was planning on using it - just wasn't sure how.

I'm trying to avoid spending 1200 right off the bat for the backpack... which is backordered right now anyhow.
That post gives me some ideas though - thanks.

I did, and was about to buy one - but actually wound up picking up a used unit here on REDuser just a few days ago.
Too good to pass up.

B H photo is selling an AJA Cage for the mini that mounts it between a Vlock battery and the cameras battery plate. Power is shared between the camera and the unit.
