suggestions for HV20 rig

[jonas206]

hey I am looking to get moving on a 35 set-up for use with an hv20 on a project asap. I will be using it to shoot some doc/case study type of footage, so ideally a rig that can include a shoulder brace and also mount on a tripod.

i'd love to see what people would suggest to fill out the package. I have a bunch of canon FD lenses, and one really nice nikkor F lense, so i'd be happy with either format.

I have a little budget, but not looking to be in for much more than 2k for the complete rig.

also, are there setups where the hv20 could be upside down or where i would see the image right side up and not flipped? thats been a pain in the past when using local handbuilt adapters. Am I going to want/need an LCD and mount to make sure focus is cool?

Ideally I'd love to see what the regulars on here would do if they were in my position.

any insight would be greatly appreciated. thanks jonas

A cheap route: Hv20, Brevis preflip set up, spider brace, Frotto 501hdv or libec ls22, Ikan 8000HD. The brevis unfliped loses the least amount of light, so your HV20 with its small sensors will like it. The Economy ver of the Letus is also good, and this is flipped. but with the HV20 you will really need to have an external monitor to get sharp focus.
