Post Your Scarlet-X Rig

[Prince Bagdasarian]

Excellent thread idea. I'll definitely post my pics here once I have my scarlet rig set up. :)

[Anthony Vu]

I included more details into my original post. I hope this is more helpful.

Would be helpful if people would post specs with pics, brand/model/size, etc.

Daniel,

The dolly isn't a DIY. They are the Midas Mount System.

They sell the whole system with rails which I thought was pretty nice. You can use anything for rails though. PVC, Pipes, etc. I think this system is very "DIY"able, but Midas Mount does sell it for relatively cheap, so you have to decide whether spending the time to make it is more cost effective than buying. I would consider the opportunity costs when making your decision.

Anthony,

Are those DIY dolly wheels or can i purchase them somewhere?

Thanks Lliam! I can't wait to see your rig posted.

I figure since Phil is out in Texas, USA, he'll be too busy posting his RED SCARLET-X findings on a more regular schedule, so we need to occupy our time by checking out each other's rigs.

Fantastic thread idea. Had to be done. Good one Anthony. I love the Epic one. Well worth a look if you haven't seen it.

They asked for rig specs too, unfortunately not that many complied, pity as it makes a huge difference to others. So I'd like to echo Pete that'd it'd be fantastic if we could all make a concerted effort to do so.

RESERVED FOR SCARLET #517 RIG PICS *** COMING SOON ***

Quick question guys,

Is it possible to mount the 5" Touch LCD on a Red/Noga arm or similar? I'd like it to be a little more flexible then hard-mounted to a plate or the top of the camera.

Thanks.

I love seeing other peoples rigs! People are very creative on how they approach their set up for their needs. It sometimes feels like Legos for grown-ups. :)

Please share the photos of your rig!



Here is a list of this rig.

RedrockMicro Mattebox
Midas Mount’s skate-rail dolly
View Factor’s APU-IDX V-mount battery plate
VL batteries
Zacuto Universal Baseplate
Redrock Micro Shoulder Mount
18" 15mm rails
In order to get the mattebox to the correct height, we added the microLink3.

Great looking rig! Really helps a lot to see one put together and have the parts list!

What is the large device with the turning knob that screws into the Midas dolly? I don't see that in the list, but ... I may be blind?

Thanks!!!

Anthony what kind of battery life are you getting out of that vmount?

I did forget to mention the Manfrotto 501 Head. It's a cheap head and not very fluid, but for dollying, it does the job.

I'm actually not sure. I haven't really paid attention to it. We have 6 IDX batteries on set and the charger, so I never really worry about it. I'll do a test and get back to you on that since the SCARLET has many factors that will determine the power usage like different fan speeds

Here's my two Scarlets in their birthday suits:



I'm looking forward to seeing other pics on this thread to help me determine how to build out my rigs.
