  • It's a custom Ford modified with a 57 Bel Air Grill, Probably why you thought it was a Buick.

  • I'm starting to dislike rigs

  • Less than perfect pic. But it's pretty simple. Cavision reverse mounting plate system on 25cm carbon rails, with a TrusMT NF2 follow focus and a Cavision Mini 3x3 matte box. Personally I am in love with the Matte Box, and can't imagine using anything bigger on a GH2. The Matte Box only weighs about 350 grams with all three flags. This picture is from before receiving the leather donut adapter ring which fits like a glove into the matter box and cinches tight on lenses up to 77mm diameter (or was it 82?). It is a very light setup, but still I am aiming to shave another 8-12 ounces off this by getting a lighter mounting system, and maybe even a catclaw follow focus. The trustMT is nice, but has had a few hiccups (suspect I got a bad unit). Not pictured are my tiny light weight bicycle grips which I adapted to the rods using some clear hose from my fish tank water changing system. Not ideal, but until I have some extra cash it works. I can also use my very light weight manfrotto monopod as a shoulder support, handle, or monopod if you can imagine that. Pretty versatile though not the most comfortable.

    Thanks,

  • @grisnjam Straight up genius. Love it. I did a few basic mods for recent shoot but damn you've got the skills. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

  • @grisnjam Spectacular! Would it work on a G6?

  • @oscillicn I don't have a G6 so I can't say for sure. I did measure the GH3 which barley fits the VF-4. It is 2 1/4 inches from the bottom of the camera to the bottom of the EVF. You might measure the G6 and see how they differ to get an idea.

    @matt_gh2 Thanks!

  • @humpman

    This one directly went for first prize :-) I especially like device to fix camera operator head.

  • @Vitaliy_Kiselev some of my friends told me this too, them ask me "Is it an execution device?". You didn't see my homemade crane, it's a pity but i didn't shoot it in camera.

    jaj ajaja ja aja that's just too good @humpman :D

  • GINI parts and a 5v/9v/12v battery that is integrated into the baseplate and padded to make a shoulderpad, and which powers the monitor, GH2 and a H4n recorder.

  • Here is my GH rig based on Lanparte shoulder mount rods and bolting the Varavon loupe onto a cage. The front section is removable to mount on tripod, back section balancing and recording 10bit 1080i in the AJA Ki Pro Mini. I've loaded the firmware upgrade but Pana still haven't addressed the 50p output that needs to be 25p on the HDMI port. I returned the interface unit and got a second GH-4 instead. Also, I'm tinkering with the LA7200 anamorphic adapter.
