SWAT Rail Question

[Timothy Eaton]

Is there any way to mount the female side of a swat rail pair to the bottom of the 5.6 inch Touch Screen LCD? Then, I can mount the LCD anywhere I want to put a swat rail. Make sense?

Tonaci,

That's what I'm talkin' about. What is the piece of hardware labeled RED below the LCD? It looks like Wooden Camera has also produced something like this: http://woodencamera.com/nato-clamp

I have the Wooden Camera Nato Clamp is awesome. I'm supremely happy with it and their locking Rails.

It is called the Bolt-On Camera Guide Clamp:

I'm about to order one of these myself. I tried the Wooden Camera one but it didn't fit my needs. Also with the WC clamp you need to use washers as spacing otherwise you can't loosen the clamp with the LCD mounted on top.

Hi Curran,

I was just about to buy the Wooden Camera clamp so I am interested in your experience. Could you expand a bit on the problem. Are you saying that there is a design flaw in that once you mount the LCD there is insufficient room to actually loosen the clamp?

These first hand reports are really useful because of there is just so much stuff floating out there that might be useful but there is no opportunity to actually try it out first. I have a whole shelf of dead red one accessories already ...

A few units were out of tolerance and the issue has been resolved.

Works perfectly for me, no washers. LCD lives on the WC clamp, goes anywhere. I'm really pleased with the WC stuff, very high quality build.

I cut a small piece of nato rail that screws to top of top handle, so the whole rig pops off to stow. I'll post a pic later. I didn't get nato rails until I started using them, now I'm hooked.

Ok, thanks for the clarification and reassurance. I am back on track to buy a truck load of Wooden camera stuff very soon

Ah, I must have just had a bad one then. I was wondering why both ends of the clamp were flush at the top, and you included washers too. Thought maybe that was just the way it was designed.

I'm happy with the Safty NATO rail though. Just in case someone picks up the camera with the DSMC Sliding Top Handle that isn't secured.

I love the new one from RED here ... http://www.red.com/store/rail-components/product/bolt-on-camera-guide-clampn

Ordered two of them, should be here tomorrow or Monday probably.

What is that screen?

 

[Ryan De Franco]

I think it's the 5' touch, just photographed wide angle and close... I am seriously considering postponing the 5' purchase until the 7' is announced. Last we heard was January.

Back to the NATO rails, any other combinations you guys feel you couldn't live without?

It was a 9" Touchscreen LCD that was announced. And no word on price.
