FS: DSLR cage with top handle, top rails, cold shoe, and HDMI lock

josh_chiara — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 15:54:09 +0000

Awesome cage for a A7s or similar camera. Will work with a 5d or similar without a handgrip also.

Comes with top handle, top rail mount, cold shoe, and HDMI lock.

Cold shoe can be moved anywhere on the cage.

All metal and super solid. I was using it with my A7s and it was great. I have decided to go Kinemini 4k, so I no longer have a need for this cage.

Top rails not included.

Paid a little over $300 for the whole thing about a month ago.

$210 shipped any where in the US. I'll ship worldwide but the actual cost of shipping will need to be paid. P.M. me for a quote.

Quick release adapters and QR plates

Zoke — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 18:56:08 +0000

I've recently purchased a GH1 while waiting for the GH2 hack. I have not received either camera's yet but I was wondering which quick release adapter & plate that is commended for tripod and shoulder rig on which the battery would still be accessible? With Google I find a few and some people recommend Acratech 2173 QR. Any tips?

Alternative for Manfrotto 577 Rapid Connect Adapter in rigs?

QuickHitRecord — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 13:39:36 +0000

Incorporated into a straight rig, the Manfrotto 577 Rapid Connect Adapter just slightly offsets the camera from the the rods (see picture) so that they no longer line up in a straight line. It's a nuisance. Anyone know of a cheap Chinese alternative that accepts Manfrotto's standard 501PL plates that won't do this?

Quick Release solutions for One Camera and multiple Devices?

There are plenty of Quick release solutions available - but most involve some kind of vendor lock-in.

This video doesn't help re a universal solution; like most, it simply encourages buyers to buy an entire matching set of devices. But at least it gets the one camera > many devices message across.

Does anyone know of a solid DSLR system where you could ideally buy, say, Several Base Plates (AKA clamps) with (1) camera plate?

That way, we'd have a camera plate on our camera, which stays on. There's a tripod waiting with a base plate assembly already attached; also a stabiliser, a shoulder rig and a triangle dolly - all with base-plates ready for truly quick attaching of the camera.

Now, is that too much to ask, without buying a plethora of camera plates/base plate sets, each in its own blister pack?

GH3 - Worth waiting?

Alexauwa — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:56:40 +0000

Hi everyone,

I am thinking about getting the GH2, but lately read an interesting article about the GH3 coming out with some great features such as AVCHD 2,0, 60p mode and better low light functionality.

Do you think is it worth waiting? Has there been any release date mentioned yet?

Looking forward to your replies.

Best,
Alex

What Kind of Quick Release Plate do I Need for a Stabilizer?

Toronto — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 09:30:13 +0000

Hi, I have this old glidecam (probably 25 years old) that someone gave me and I need to get some sort of quickrelease plate system for it but I have no idea on what kind of quick release plate kit I would need. Here is a photo of it.

http://www.glidecam.com/product-1000-pro.php

There are all kinds of various quick release plates on ebay but some seem to be only half of a kit, different sizes, too big, too small, etc.

http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=quick+release+plate&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340.m570

If you look at the photo, the sliding plate at the top of the glidecam only has a few centimeters of space between the base plate, so the bottom part has to be thin enough to fit inside the 2 plate areas but I have no idea how to differentiate between something that will work and something that won't and I don't have money to experiment buying various ones, I would like to get one that will work the first time.

If anyone can help me please check out ebay or elsewhere and send me a few links of plate kits (both the piece that will be permanent attaching from underneath the top plate of the stabilizer, and the piece that will then attach onto that first piece, then the 3rd piece or second piece that is permanently screwed into the camera that has some sort of switch function that would be easy to get to under a GH1 so that the camera can be easily attached and removed to the first or second piece without anything needing to be retightened after balancing every time you want to take off, put back on, take off, put back on.

Thanks very much.
