Prague... a prototype rig.

[Brook Willard]

Anybody have a fish scale we could use?

Haakon, let me tell you that it doesn't take much to get a Red rig into the 30+Lb range. After attaching the 85-50mm, Red sliding base, Chrosziel single sided FF, 19mm steel bottom rods w/15mm Adapter and short 15mm rods a lightweight Chosziel Mattebox, a Battery (Granted with the Red drive cage) and the Panasonic BTLH900a we were getting to about 35Lbs by my estimate. Now the Pany monitor weighs more than the Red LCD & EVF combo but only by a pound or two. We were using both my 1030s head and Blairs 1030HD head. Both performed admirably but you could tell the HD was reaching it's limit, whereas the S still had comfortable room on the counter balance. If you think you are going to ever use bigger lenses or more accessories like motors and onboard converters, I would really consider the S.

LOL Thanks Evin.....

I feel better now.

[Paul Moss]

there's only one small thing that worries me........the straight plug coming out of the back of the monitor.......why not have elbows on both ends....? i could see that getting knocked about a lot.......

 

[Evin Grant]

I think that's comming.

This is my favorite prototype rig, Prague. She is one of the 25 pre-production units made last month.

The Crank set up was about 18lbs.

May I ask what this set up weighs?

Perfect set up Jim.

I plan to match something similar to this, seems to be diverse enough for all kinds of shooting scenarios. I would lean on the lighter side (ie 1030HD sticks etc) just to be able knock out more setups in a days work.

Loven Prague!

Now can I get my rig laser etched or not, what’s the final word on that?

Cheers!

Now that's the setup that makes my heart skip. I'm going to refer to that as my PrizeFighter setup. Fast, powerful and effective.

thanks for sharing.

The view all other camera manufacturers will see as the RED blazes past them.

So did you guys buy a Blanket-Light or what? I love the look of all the new photography as of late.

 

[Jannard]

I'm giving Jarred a lesson in table-top photography.

Actually, we are doing these together. The professor and the student. The student is getting pretty fu$king good.

I give free classes... and some stories to go with the lessons!

Is that the new Quick Plate that the battery is mounted on? And is the Quick Plate mounted on a third Top Mount?

 

[Jannard]

Quick Plate is mounted to a Universal Mount Plate.
