  • 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 :)

Sim Accessories Videos

that battery plate is awesome.

any chance you can make your website not resize the browser window, i hate it when that happens.

thanks.
 
Okay, I'll ask the obvious. Will the EVF mount be available separately and mountable without the handle? And will it beat Element Technica's $950 price point?

I have to say I was sceptical of it compared to ET's mount when I saw the photo but the video makes both bits look really well made.

Good job!
 
No, unfortunately, it mounts only with the light weight handle system. The pricing will be one complete system.....from battery mount, handle, and viewfinder mount. The only thing

Not only are the parts well made (Anodized Solid Aluminum) but these parts are battle tested....We have over 100 HD cameras with this handle style and viewfinder mount and the AC's have not broken them....lol

John,

Do you have a Red Drive/Battery plate option? Can the existing Red Cradle be mounted to your battery plate base (remove the V-lock and mount cradle to the backing mount) Possible if you took off the swing mount on the Red Cradle...?

Cradle mount is in the works....we should have something in the very near future. As you can see from the way we design, everything integrates into the next peice.

The problem with the RED DRIVE mounts that we had designed was the amount of shock absorbtion needed. We are working on that right now.
 
FYI All,

I dropped by SIM video today and had a look at this stuff. It is all top grade materials and craftsmanship. This is a very practical and well thought out solution that is highly functional and keeps the overall camera weight down.

The battery plate has the correct holes for three different types of plates. When put together with the shoulder mount this becomes a very elegant and very comfortable solution for handheld work and a quick transition between POD and shoulder.

The folks at SIM have a great reputation for customer service and I was very impressed by the toe-plate which is very strong (as you can see in the you tube video).

Very nice work guys. Rest assured, this stuff is rock solid and the real deal.

Concur, the whole system looks well designed and integrated!

Look forward to a price list and most importantly, delivery schedule!

Cheers,

Paul

ET should go back to designing farm equipment or oil rigs.
Their stuff will look good on a Abraham tank.
 
I agree with foldablility and being modular. Most important is delivery schedule and price. I am willing to pay for quality, but not overpay.
 
I anticipate getting the word from RED soon regarding #1162.

Getting down to the wire for decisions on what accessories to order. Any info would be great!
 
True, comment was unnecessary. Oh and BTW, it's an M1 "Abrams" tank, not an Abraham, which would have been a much, much older model, similar to the Isaac. ;-)
 
Ouch...

Ouch...

For the record I'm looking at a number of vendors, Element Technica being one of them.

ALSO, ET was *very* responsive to my email inquiry. In my book good customer service is highly important and adds value to the products offered.

AND... way UNCOOL comment!
