Help, need a .9mm allen key in New York

[jaadgy akanni]

The locking screw is a 0.9 mm or a .035 inch Allen.
Here is a image of the process of taking it off.

yep, the locking screw- the only 0.9mm screw on the mount.

Hey guys, I want to thank Offhollywood and Jaadgy for taking the time to try and help us.

I ended up moving the production to an HVX P+S combo. I had a happy smiling director and producers at the end of the day, and that's what is important. We will give Red another go next weekend on a different production. I was really impressed by the images that we made, and also really want my own 300mm prime now.

With regards to the mount. We are taking it into a pro camera tech tommorow morning. I've just been too busy shooting to really deal with that issue.

If you have one of the new batch of RED's I would encourage to to get familiar with the ins and outs of this mount, as it's not the same, I hear, as the first 50. We work with PL mounts all the time and didn't do anything out of the ordinary to get ourselves into that situation, so be aware of the possibility and get prepared for it. Unfortunately I won't be there for them to adjust the mount. I'll see if we can get some pictures of it and put them up.

Also thanks to Brian Ferguson for having a late night Skype video call with me. I appreciate your help.



Thanks,

just bummed we couldn't solve your problem - turns out our AC on the stunt car shoot had that key in his kit - that is how we fixed our situation - so, yeah ... I'm gonna pick one up asap.

Also, since Red is changing a few things - if we are all going to help each other - it might make be a good idea to let us all know if there are any differences in camera units (cameras 1-50 have xyz, but on cameras 51 + etc. etc.)

And an AC saves the day yet again! I knew there was a reason we carried all those tools.
