Hi Thomas,


How is the sound quality of the t.bone EM 9600?

Best regards

Hi Thomas,

Nice rig ! How did you manage to screw the rig from the top ? Did you have to get RED top mount as well ?

Best regards

Hi,

Haven't yet used it more than a couple of times on some projects where the audio wasn't super critical so haven't done an in-depth evaluation, but so far seems perfectly acceptable, especially for the price... The shock mount that comes with it is pretty cheesy, though, but then again can't expect miracles.

Yeah, forgot to mention that above - I just had two generic 15 mm railblocks that I drilled through the center with a 10mm bit and bolted to the 3/8" thread in the middle of the WC top mounts. No Red 19mm hardware anywhere. Works great but for drilling, the rod clamps need to be wide enough to leave enough metal around the hole.

I don't know if it's by design or some cosmic accident, but the end result was that the top rails are the exact standard distance (85 mm) above optical center. So basically it gives the option of mounting the follow focus or matte box either above or below the lens, and the vertical spacing is still correct. Nice for clearing some extra finger space for the old M42 lenses I'm mostly using...

 

[Raphael Biss]

Nice work !! Do you have screenshots of what you filmed ?

 

[T_Freundlich]

A number of pieces in production... Will be sure to post some material once I get to that point!

Guys, what's the best solution for mounting my 15mm mattebox to the mx? I contacted Long Valley but they no longer produce the product. What would be your next choice?

 

[T_Freundlich]

I seem to recall seeing a similar product from another company (ET?) but maybe it's no longer available. Failing that, you probably just need to mix and match baseplates and risers to get the spacing you need. As the R1 is built on the 19mm standard it's not easy to fit 15mm gear onto it but it is possible with a bit of effort and creative DIY engineering...:beer:

 

[Sinh Tran]

thanks T_Freundlich, I will have to search for a solution

A couple of closer pics from my 15mm solution in the event that it's of use to someone...

Hi all! an update of my rig with globalmedia pro batts and proaim carbon matte box.

Hi Russell, how do you find the 509 handling the weight of the rig? I'm just in the process of replacing my #2 fluid head that was lost in action on a recent shooting trip and have been looking at the 509 as a candidate...

it works ok for lighter weight setups but as soon as you start putting bigger zoom lenses and accessorise on it, the head starts to max out and can't pan or tilt as smooth. i'd probably recommend the next model of head up like the 519..
