Configurations Thread

Okay, I need a little help until RED can help (not a big deal, it's really all good).

But I didn't receive the bottom plate/dovetail or the ET ARRI 19mm base plate yet (it's on back order, all good). So, in studio mode the only way I can figure doing ANYTHING is to shoot to the CF card, battery on the belt clip... but this means:

NO FOLLOW FOCUS (I can focus on the lens, fine) OR MATTE BOX/FILTERS

Any ideas? Anyone?

Maybe I'm just flustered, not thinking straight or something...

BTW - The new finish kicks ass! WOW, love it.

Any ideas? Anyone?

Can you run rods from your top mount and rig the FF gear to connect from above?

Kinda like this:

Other than that I'm idea-less at the moment.

oooohhh -

Thank you! Will try that!

Funky looking I imagine, but if it works...

Can I just say -

I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!!! THANK YOU JIM! THANK YOU RED TEAM!

The modular design saved my ass today! I haven't yet received my bottom plate or ARRI 19mm base plate but I had to shoot a rugby match today. I had to be handheld. I had to figure this out. And I did.

Thanks to Jim's vision of what a camera should be. Again, thank you Jim.
Here's some pics of the "rig" I configured to go hand held w/o the "correct" parts.





Oh, BTW - THE RED PELICAN RULES!!! Totally worth the money! Love it!
