VF | Brook's FMJ for Epic-X... free upgrade [RED & Arri version]

[Demetri Zuev]

Brook, do you plan to make a separate Scarlet version of the FMJ Top without ribs?

[Mitch Deoudes]

+1 for someone to try the Red tactical ribs with a FMJ top plate & report back.

Trying to decide what gear to buy without getting locked into a "system" is brutal.

Does anyone know if you can use the Full Metal Jacket Bottom Plate + Full Metal Jacket 15mm Light Weight Standard Bracket with the RED EPIC Tactical Ribcage Pack?
From the pictures online it appears you can but I want to make sure.

Since RED's version of the cage attaches to the side of the body [instead of the bottom plate], there should be no clearance issues.

thanks Brook, I figured as much going on the photos but always good to check.
Thanks again

Hey folks,

Based on requests from rental houses in Los Angeles, we've made the FMJ for Arri baseplates as well! Pending interest we'll put it up in the store. :)

[Tim Whitcomb]

how is this different from other bottom plate? what makes this an ARRI ? the hole placement? What bottom plate is this for? thanks! in other words, whats the LA market solution that works with this? thanks!

[Brook Willard]

The bottom plate is slightly thinner, allowing the use of an Arri baseplate [taller than a RED baseplate] while maintaining proper spacing between the iris rods and lens. Several rental houses and individuals had wanted to use Arri BP-9 sliding baseplates [from the 435 and 235] with our full cage.

Brook, trying to reach you buddy for the UW Housing, look at your email inbox... ;)

Oh, and yes your APU-IDX plate did save our buts big time in Dubai, so much appreciated the super great service and the extra mile you and
Curt at View Factor went to make sure we got it on time... ;)

[Mitch Fillion]

Hey Brook, I placed an order for the APU-iDX plate on Dec 5th and it hasn't shipped out yet, just wondering when I can expect it? I tried contacting by email on Monday. Thanks!
