3rd Party Nikon Mounts

[Giuseppe Pugliese]

Hello, I have searched the site, and can't seem to find any info, so I am asking on here, sorry if its posted somewhere already where I couldn't find it but...

Are their any other companies that are making a 3rd party Nikon Mount for the Red One?

I saw one from http://www.longvalleyequip.com/ that has a nice way to control the G lenses but they no longer make it... Any other manufacturers out there?

Trying to look for options cheaper than $500

Have a look at the A-mount system: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=40918

All together it will be a bit more than $500 but the great thing is that you can swap mounts easily and fast.

Here's an overview over the different mount options for the RED One:

The A mount system is probably the best and most versatile mount for the red. Last I heard there was a g lens mount available for sale, but it is being redone to make it better.

Might add that the A mount is approved by Red, so thats a definite big plus.

edit:
Oh wow didn't see martin's post. His link really does pretty much explain it all for you haha. Good Luck!

I really like this one. BTW, I am not associated with the company in any way.

Optitek makes a Nikon mount that locks the lens tight and allows for Iris Control. optitek.org/nikon-prolock.php

A mount. You won't regret it. Best there is.

If you are only going to use nikon then go for the optitek mount. It's like a nikon pl mount and will control the iris on all lenses, even those without an iris ring.

The optitek prolock, no doubt.

Thank you everyone for recommendation.
We are running out of stock from the second batch. There are a (very) few left.
Two questions:
Are we converting to Epic base mount?
How many should we order for the next batch?
Some feedback please- speculations welcome as well
