Yeah, a different beast. The cold shoe mounts are generally superfluous but I like them when I am doing one-person docu or field interviews for a mic, my Juicedlink, etc. That can be added when I...

You can certainly remove the "straight piece" on the back and the friction of the mount points are plenty secure. That piece certainly ads but it isn't needed if you want to manipulate the screen.

Nothing too exciting but here is what I came up with for now - a little clunky but totally effective, parts I already had plug a $0.27 facet washer from the hardware store adequately dremeled. Yes,...

This is the plan:

Pulled that image from Cheesycam. Basically, I have another 90 which will come off the back of the rail, grab a cable clamp from plumbing supply, etc. Super easy to...

Ha! Don't tell Wooden but those two bits are from that cheap as dirt Polaroid shoulder stabilizer. I will add a few photos once everything is assembled. I am away for the next two weeks so I will...

Keep in mind that you are assuming a 1.5 FOV modification as with APS-C. m43 (GH3, etc.) have a 2x modification so your 20mm becomes a 40mm, the 35mm becomes a 70mm, and so on.

I am waiting to...

Inspired by this thread, I purchased the small quick cage from Wooden. Really nice - light, grabs the camera well, great access, compact, etc.

Added a rail and a 90-degree from other kit -...

Is access to the headphone port blocked? Still accessible with a 90-degree out of the camera?

Yeah, I was captivated by the Bolex style too, but when I used a simple grip below and a viewfinder (LCDVF on the Nex-5n and a Zacuto eyecup on the GH2), I unfortunately experienced more unsteadiness...

Cool, DrDave. Definitely appreciate all of that and I agree that these forums - a "home" to a lot of people like yourself willing to share knowledge - is where I've learned the most. Thanks to you...

Super catchy model name: the Sony ICD-SX712. Very small, very high quality for its intent. Mounting options are a pain and I hacked apart the little stand with the 1/4-20 thread so that I could mount...

Ok. I understand the emphasis upon doing audio right as framed above. I also really get the right tools for the job. I can also understand that lots of professionals are likely pissed, frustrated,...

Thanks. Helpful. I am very interested in this for a walk-around setup. Small, sling-able (wouldn't have thought of that - awesome.)

Any reason other than price why you are going with the fotga...

Pablo / Heartfelt / others ? - any updates or ongoing thoughts, experiences? I am considering this quite earnestly - plus there is a "back-order" incentive right now.

Oh, another thread next door:...

This has been my experience too. Now you have a single pivot point directly below the camera and all the weight is up high - troublesome even with a viewfinder connecting to my eye.

Thanks for that video. Great at showing strengths/weaknesses. Annoying about the loosening of the hinge but it seems to get a whole lot right in terms of flexibility/compactness. Also seems that...

Right. You've perhaps seen this already, but when you have the new compound clip in the info panel, you can then selected to mute the on-board audio.

Hey all. Walter. Really psyched for resources and conversations like the ones here.

Getting into video with my nex-5n, canon fd lenses, and constantly trying to find the audio solutions that are...

Interesting, yoclay, and confirming for me.

Tobias, I'm sure you have seen this thread, which is why I've been running my Rode into the H4n's 3.5mm: ...

It is problem-solving even if it is not what you want to hear or if it does not work for your budget. I think that thru this thread there has been a lot of patient and thoughtful advice delivered.

Another incredibly helpful piece of problem-solving. Thanks, everyone.

Thank-you for doing and posting this thorough eval. Really, really helpful.
