So I want to put an industry standard matte box on this camera to use with my Nikkors...do I have to buy the $2750 premo Red Rail just to do that?

I'm sure the Basic Production Pack has 15mm rods spaced at 60mm. I can't believe they could be anything else.

no there are light weight matte boxes that clamp on to the lens as long as its internal focusing
here is one. you can get different size rings to fit your lens

The rods on the rail are 19mm, not 15mm
Only the Premium Production pack includes a 15mm adaptor.

There seems to be a 19-15mm adapter, but I'd be very surprised if you couldn't order one seperately.

Only the premium package has a "15mm rods adapter". It seems silly to pay the $2750 price just to be able to bolt a matte box on

The Base Production Package is sufficient to mount a full size matte box. The camera base plate is designed to accept 19mm rods. There is a 19mm - 15mm rod adaptor available if you only have 15mm based accessories.

You only get one front grip with the base package right? Can you add a second one without the full premium package?Originally Posted by Stuart English
If the zooms weight, camera, mattebox and filters come in at what i think they will, then a second grip will be mandatory. Methinks.

Do you know this for a fact? Accs. designed to mount on 19mm rods are set up for a 105mm center line spacing.

Hence the 15mm adapter.
