NEW design to chew on...

[Alexander Nikishin]

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

It looks like it'll detatch the shoulder pad and allow for an oconnor/sachtler, etc. plate to be mounted flush under the RED, nice.

That's the down side ;)

AKA Leggo RED! (Leggo my RED!)

Well, I didn't dare say that as that would be the way I'd prefer it. But I hope you're right :-)

I think that the shoulder pad detatching would be the way to go to keep that lower center of gravity while on sticks.

Sorry to flood this channel, but...

Are 19mm rods still an option for lens support?

Even stainless steel 15mm rods seem to bend slightly with a strong servo on older lenses in when it's cold. (Or do I just have to lube my lenses? )

19mm will be the standard, a 15mm adapter will be an option though with the premium packge.

[Häakon]

another option...

NOW we're talking... this is exactly how I'd configure mine. I think I'd get the handle grips on the corners as opposed to the arms with holes, but I assume that's an easy option to swap out. This keeps the camera well protected while still maintaining a low profile, and the top handle exists soley for easy transport. Bravo on this design!

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

Lol. But where do I put my cigars?

Dig the new design, but I still miss the bridge that ran along the top, without needing any rails. That was a spiffing piece of design. Can up I put in my 3 pence to have it back?... It'd be easy peasy to make, methinks.

Function before fashion? This is the cutest design yet!
