Looks like you got the camera nicely centered with the battery grip on, how did you manage that?

Looks good to me. I got mine in the post the other day and am yet to have a play with it.

I use the spring/belt combo a fair bit. There are occasions (fast sprint finishes) where you can't safely shoot off a tripod so I am shooting using my rig and the belt plus a zoom/iris control on the...

Hi Mike, it's the DVTEC Multirig Pro plus tripod bracket. I work in professional cycling (mostly) and the ability to get moving shots from vehicles, then dash and clamp straight to a tripod for a...

LOL, the one I moan I have about DVTEC is the lack of UK importer, meaning hefty import tax. I should've found an alternative EU dealer perhaps.

The DVTEC may look Meccano but it performs anything but. Packs up really small - which if you have to fly a lot, like I do, is fantastic. Also provides an amazingly stable platform, configures into...

I use the DVTEC Multirig for my AC160. Pricey, but the results are fantastic and you can buy a tripod mount as well, so the rig doesn't need to be taken off/put back on.

Brent's a super-nice guy. Next time you see him, say the video-journalist for GCN in Qatar/Oman says hi.

That looks very decent, Mike. I have the CRC14 from my old HMC151 and on the AC160 it feels a bit tight. If I get bored of using it, I'll either go for the CRC15 or a try a Fotonex. My dream is...

Ha! I missed the entire thread, but thanks again Walter!

I'm in the UK and took delivery of my Studio1 today - very pleased with early results. I have it mounted on the left arm of my DVTEC Multirig. Once you get used to what direction you need to turn the...

I phoned them a while back - I think they're just a small company. Seemed fine over the phone.

Hi Mike, the Kata isn't great for using the LCD and I also find using the focus, zoom and iris rings a bit constricted, which is why I thought I might have a look at Fotonex as they appear a bit...

I use my CRC14 with the mic side-mounted.

I was also considering an offering from Fotonex http://fotonex.co.uk/offer.php?id=81 Not sure if this would fit a Panny (the Panny version they do has no mic cover)

I have an AC160 and I found the Petrol cover a nightmare - fiddly as hell. I settled on the Kata CRC14, which is pretty decent and takes into account a mounted shotgun mic. I have yet to find a cover...

In Qatar I was shooting in Cine-D, 1080/50p, shutter at 1/120, making quite heavy use of a DVTEC Multirig for the handheld stuff. It's a god-send.

I shoot professional cycling, and the AC160 is my weapon of choice. I don't use Auto anything, so the zillion pages on autofocus problems weren't a concern to me. Here's some recent footage from the...

Hi, I am in Dubai for a shoot next week with my AC160, staying in the world's tallest hotel and I thought it might be a nice opportunity for a funky timelapse sequence. It's not the kind of thing I...

Any info on where this can be done in the UK please?

I work mostly in professional cycling. Shots here were with my AC160, but some with my HMC151. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i8uIFZxaXQ

Can you post or link to some pictures of your rig please, Chris?

That's a good tip, Nate, but I need something a bit longer term. I'll be working and filming professional bike racing off a fast moving motorbike so the cover/slicker has to be pretty top notch. I...

Thanks, I've checked it out - it doesn't appear to be available through any UK retailer and I need something fast.
