WC UVF Mount 2 compatibility ?

[Olivier Gresse]

Hi

I would like to know if the WC UVF Mount 2 can be used on the Epic-W without a top plate (so directly on the brain) or if I need to buy one?

And Is this UVF Mount can be directly used in a shoulder configuration or if I have to buy an extension or something else...

Thanks for your replies

Is there someone using this WC UVF Mount 2 and can help me please ?

You can certainly mount the WC UVF tube clamp directly to the brain, but you'd be interfering with the top pogo pins and/or handle start/stop interface. A top plate is most certainly recommended.

I find that the sled of the UVFv2 mount (without extension) is just long enough to move the EVF far enough forward for a balanced shoulder rig with a prime lens or compact zoom setup with a matte box. I'm using the WC Premium Shoulder Rig v2 FYI.


My current setup uses WC's pass through top plate, and I actually had to request some additional washers and longer screws from Wooden Camera so that I could mount the tube clamp on the front of the plate while still having enough clearance for the 7" in its cableless config.

I feel like there's a more elegant solution on the horizon but attached is a photo of my current setup with EVF. I didn't want to lose the cableless functionality of the cam by using lemos, so I have a WC pogo-pogo cable in play with the RED EVF mount and a nato rail clamp.
