Pics or it didn't happen!

No but seriously... thank you! I have been wondering this myself... great to know. And a few pics would certainly be appreciated

I know how I'll be mounting my EVF now!

Viewfactor's FMJ ribs are also NATO able...

I would love to see pictures. Never used Nato rails, so they're a piece of gear I'm still trying to fully wrap my head around.

Here is a pic taken with my phone that shows the RED sliding top handle attached to the rib (just as a quick example)
and yes the FMJ are also Nato compatible but there was uncertainty about the RED ones as someone from red said they weren't NATO compatible originally....View attachment 20141

Question is are RED ribs compatible with Wooden Camera Top/Bottom Plate?

 

[Maz Mawlawi]

Not compatible with any of the bottom plates from either VF or wooden camera. The RED ribs require their own "bottom section" to be attached like this one http://www.red.com/store/rail-components/product/dsmc-tactical-right-adaptor

wait but they connect to the FMJ top plate correct?

EDIT: NO

 

[Ben Graham]

can you confirm they work with FMJ top plate? Viewfactor said they would not work.

Sorry for the confusion...

No, I don't think they do.
