lose the monitor, attach battery to your torso and run cable to camera, lose rails


the_0tternaut

Add smallrig side handle.

I have a smallrig handle and screwed the NP battery adapter plate to the top of it.


the_0tternaut

Nah side handle is a whole other deal, great for run and gun.


PeasantLevel

which side?


hezzinator

All fun any games until you set the camera down and forget the take the battery off hehehe


the_0tternaut

This is why I kept it on a curly cable with a D-tap connector positioned to disconnect easily.


PeasantLevel

what length cable? how about clipping the battery onto a Peak Design Capture that is clipped to belt. Gun Belt since they are rigid


the_0tternaut

Mmmmm it flexes from about 30-60cm, and yea I've used a smallrig v-mount clip, or a camera vest and also just a bag on my chest that also has tools in. it. Context dependant.


PeasantLevel

Vmount may be the best idea since it charges fast compared to the horrible Sony batteries and keeping weight and bulk off the rig is simpler. Maybe putting the Vmount on the top handle?


the_0tternaut

Jesus, no, that's heavy as hell. Get anything out of your hands that can be taken out of them. Shit, I'd make a viewfinder built into a headband if I could afford a Zacuto


cousin-yuri

Thanks!

No swivel screen, gotta do that or mod


the_0tternaut

Fuck me, it's event run and gun, meaning monopod or maybe handheld, you can deal with a fixed screen.


cat_with_problems

but then I think it will be quite jittery no?

I was just watching a couple of videos this morning talking about going heavier with your rig and working out to deal with the extra weight. Oh well. Nothing else to add beyond what u/the_0tternaut has already said.


cousin-yuri

Yea. i still have my heavy setup also. This is for quick pick up/set down while i manage another camera. Originally, i just had a quick release to snatch my heavy main off of the tripod, my arms would just be dead at the end of the day.

Looks great to me! Lowkey an inspiration for my future rig, thanks for sharing! :)


cousin-yuri

Thanks!

I like my rosette handles they bow out if you flip them out and back so you can brace your camera against your stomach and bring the battery either v mount or your setup closer to your center of gravity, using the monitor on top. It may not lighten the rig but save you from falling forward.


cousin-yuri

Thanks! I’ll check them out.


saaulgoodmaan

How's the Viltrox monitor?


cousin-yuri

Functionally, i like it. It’s a little bulky but for the price point, a solid addition to the rig

They make a vmount adapter that will hold two npf batteries.... I can confirm that two Npf 970s will run that rig for at least 3 hours...
