NEW design to chew on...

[Emanuel A.]

Monster weight reduction.

I would and I will support this option.

BTW, post some more footage, if possible, Jim. This would be so cool and it shall calm down the anxiety. What do you think?

IMHO, the motion picture from the prototypes is rocking!

[Joe Aurili]

I'll call this one "wide load" :)

Sure adds a lot of space to put things though, if you need it.

another option...

[Jeremy Hughes]

just so everyone knows.. the camera is the same size..

Why's it look smaller then, Jarred?

[Ace]

Im glad the holy handles are back!

I see plento of places to keep a joint while filming.

[Tom Lowe]

I like it better. Thumbs up.

Why's it look smaller then, Jarred?

I think that Jim needs to throw in a trusty pabst blue ribbon can for size reference :)

[Anders Holck]

Whoa, dramatic lighting in that last render Jim :-)

Is the front/bottom quick release for the camera/rail or the Red pad/rail?
(Looks like it's for the camera/rail)

The weight reduction in the Pad seems like a good idea, but the new thin profile at the front looks very fragile if it it's supposed to have 3/8" screw holes for tripod mounting or is the Pad still replacable for a lower profile tripod pad?

another option...

THANK YOU JIM!!!!!!!! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED! :greedy:

Tons of mounting points, lightweight, protective, carry handles, just perfect.

AKA Leggo RED! (Leggo my RED!)

This design is getting pretty close to perfect. A low weight minimal profile set-up to use until you need more, then pop on the side bars. 1, 2, or 4, what ever you need.
