So I bought all the pieces. I got me a nice HVX200 a few months go with a couple of P2 cards and it works great. I put it on a DVRigPro and I was running around the city getting some great shots. But without a AC, moving files is a hassle, and I wanted a better depth of field than I was getting. So I got me a Firestore to record to, and a M2 with the Follow Focus, and topped it off with a Marshall Montior. HELP!

So all the parts came in and now I got to get this thing together! How do I make that happen? The Zacuto looks like a good, but fairly expensive way to go. Even then, how do you stick the monitor on the end of those Noga arms once I get it? And will the follow focus and m2 fit perfectly or do they need to know in advance? I'd like everything, the camera, monitor, and firestore, to run on same same v-mount battery. Will this work? Can I do it without two grand more to Zacuto?

Any help is appreciated.
 
To attach the Noga arm to the DvRigPro., Use the 1/4" insert found under the side rail. take the allen screw out, and move the insert to the top of the rail.

The square end caps can also be removed and put back easily.

The Fire store can be secured with the supplied velcro straps to the back acc. plate.

BTW- Few hizballa missiles just missed the Noga arms factory today.:(
 
Danny, I didn't even think about you being in Israel. I hope you and your family are safe and doing well.

....ok....so I've figured this one out.... What I'd like to know is how to get that insert onto the FRONT rail.......I've snooped around...pulled here...pushed there...unscrewed one or two things....and STILL can't figure it out. Any suggestions?...without destroying my DVRig, please!
 
Release the front right side tilt knob all the way out and pull out all the parts including the bearing, and one of the black discs.

Now force out the other black disc by pulling and slightly shacking it, You now have the front rail open for the insert.
