  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Post Your Scarlet-X Rig

I've looked through all the pictures here. A lot of people are using the WC quickback. No one has the adaptor module mounted though. Has anyone considered this? Somewhere on reduser I saw pictures of a busted A mount on the epic using the WC QB.

Thoughts anyone?

probably a great idea - but I'm sure most may not want to spend the extra money, and have the extra ¾ inch + a few ounces of added weight 'cuz that would be a deal breaker… (especially with all the other 'extras' that they have mounted on the body already.)

edit: I might add that both backs I've purchased - VF & Wooden - have screws to hold into the camera, as well as being mounted to the 'A' Mount.

The mount from MG1 Concepts mounts directly to screws. If you don't have the screws in, it won't stay put. Not saying it's better or worse, just adding that it, too, relies on screws in those mounting holes. No idea about Action Products' mount; never seen it in person.
 
Just have to share this. I think I've rigged up the most compact Scarlet dolly system possible:

AriadneOnPicoSide.jpg

AriadneOnPicoBack.jpg


That's a Scarlet with Side Handle, Redvolt, an old 5" Red LCD, All Star Top Mount, Manfroto plate, Pico Dolly.

The Manfroto plate is needed to keep the Side Handle form hitting the wheels. The only thing I wish I had was a way to angle the camera a little up or a little down.

I. Love. This. Rig. It's so absurd, but it works.

jon, does the bridgeplate from the o grips let you attach the obox directly to it or is that a special part?

This is what we have currently, trying to get ideas on how to improve balance, etc.

That could be tough to balance when you've got dual displays, a matte box, and handles which (presumably) far outweigh the v-mount battery. Maybe ditch the extra monitor, mount the camera on the shoulder pad directly, and lose the handle extensions... That would place more weight directly over the shoulder, meaning the battery would only have to balance lens/mattebox... and handles... Hmm... still might be front heavy.

Speaking of battery, is that a lemo extension cable? Or is it a REDone BatteryBelt-to-DSMC cable? I was hoping to find a cheap way to give a quick-plate/v-mount power cable an extra few feet so I could mount it on my belt (or toss it in a pack) instead of having to mount it directly on the camera... You know, for when I want to be really small/agile/handheld.
 
Hi Elliot - How are you finding the Cartoni - Currently deciding whether to go for that one or the MAnfrotto - Phil Holland is very happy with the Manfrotto and I usually find his advice very insiteful and appropriate - would like to hear how are you fairing with the cartoni - I used some higher end cartoni and was always happy with performance so I'm interested in what you think of it.

Thanks
 
here's on of my Epic rigs out on a lake
