Hey guys. I have some questions about my Scarlet-W setup. So if anyone have some time over it would be great with some feedback.

1. Shoulder rig combined quick release solution
I own MCS Shoulder Pad (http://www.letus35.com/mcs-shoulder-pad/?src=prn#ProductTabs) and thinking of finding a solution with a dovetail to put it on. The lighter setup, the better. I’ve been looking at Woodencameras options and they look pretty neat. The optimal setup in my opinion (please come with feedback) would be the following:
Summary
I thought that I could mount the quick riser on the camera. And because of having two quick dovetail, I could mount one on Bridgeplate (19mm) and the other one on a tripod or Gyro.


The LW 15mm Bracket will be mounted on the Quick Dovetail which will be mounted on the Bridgeplate (19mm).

Question:
Do you know if the Quick Riser is supported for the Scarlet-W? On the website it says ”Epic/Scarlet"

- LW 15mm Bracket (Weapon/Scarlet-W/raven) - http://woodencamera.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=1214
- Quick Dovetail - http://woodencamera.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=572
- Bridgeplate 19mm - http://woodencamera.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=358
- Safety Dovetail (12”) - http://woodencamera.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=416 (Here I could strap on the MCS Shoulder Pad I talked about earlier for comfortable shoulder support)
- x2 19mm Rods (15”) - http://woodencamera.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=338

2. Mattbox

I’ve looked at this company: http://www.brighttangerine.com/category/matte-box/2
Any thought of that one against the other brands? This one is nice cause you can have both 15mm 19mm studio and also swing away.

I’m thinking of Tiffen ND-filters. Do you have any recommendations here?

3. Extra monitor
Say that I would use the camera on a gyro. You can now control the Scarlet-W with the built-in WiFi using Foolcontrol iOS. Then it might be nice to have an extra monitor on the gyro. Any suggestions here?

4. Handgrips
Any thought regarding the Oconnor: O-Grip? I need some handgrips that will be high up and close to the body. I usually grip the mattbox instead of handles.
