Post Your Scarlet-X Rig

[Aleksei Gorodenkov]

Whats that top attachment that is connecting the rails??? Trying to find something like that, where did you get it and at what price? Does it have the right size/placed holes or is this something kinda just rigged?

Thats http://store.redrockmicro.com/Catalog/DSLRClamps/DSLRbaseplate
for 174 dollars.
It works... but with only one screw... its not the best solution..

Hello everyone !

Those are the picture of the 2 differents set-up I have for the Red Epic.
One being more lightweight than the other, working good for handheld, while the others is more appropriate for studio shoot, where cables and additional components are required.

Both set-up and accessories can be designed for both 15mm studio offset or 19mm.

I found that as much as 15 LW can sound appealing due to its lightweight set up, in my thoughts, it is strictly for dSLR EF-mount and nothing else.

I have a FF5-HD follow focus also, that can be both mounted for 15 or 19mm.


I had a bad experience with the red quick release platform and decided to go with the old school bridge plate, as it never failed me.


Would love to hear your thoughts !

Are there any cages that actually will allow you to use your DSMC side handle?

I think they all do, you'd just have to remove the one front-right rib (and potential the back-right rib as well, since it might get in the way of your hand.) Wouldn't that work?

I would just be worried that all the weight would then be put on the left ribs (unless the ribs really do nothing except act as side protection?)

The ribs do not hold any weight. They are there to attach accessories to. Hence why you can use the top and bottom plates without any ribs.

Bob,

Our Sidearms hold the entire camera. They were designed to allow you to mount your camera sideways if need be..hence the witness mark on the centerline of the lens.

Very true John. I have your ribs on my camera actually. I thought the question was wether you need them on both sides of the camera.

Nice rig Jack....trying to configure a shoulder rig myself at the moment-genus shoulder pad looks very interesting-how comfortable is it on a scale of 1-10?

Thanks

Bob --- Looks like you've got some Berkey System and Solid Camera accessories making up your rig. Like it a lot. Which ones are they specifically?
