Pix of your Letus35 Support Rod Setup?

that rail system looks nice! too bad it isn't carbon ;)
but it is real nice to have a modular element to your rails!

Do you guys at Letus have any ideas for shoulder mounting the camera with the risers going down so low? I like to pull my camera off the tripod when I see something and throw it on my shoulder real quick and that looks like it might hurt!

That's what I want... the shoulder mount option.

Love them :)

ps: don't laugh at my mini tripod plate, it just suits the picture, being the "mini" and all :engel017:

As for shoulder mounting without risers penetrating trapezius muscle, 2 ideas
- raise the camera/adapter to highest point so it's flat on the base,
- or you could saw them down
... just make sure you won't regret the latter.

Charles:

What kind of 35mm adaptor is that?

Hi Charles:

I thought I had seen images of the Letus Mini, I didn't know it looked like that and that it had a sort of square portion on it. Interesting. I have a Letus Extreme, I am sure you will be as happy with the Mini as I have been with the Extreme so far.

Hi Fabulous:

1. What kind of monitor arm is that?
2. Which monitor is that? Are you happy with it?
3. Did you ever consider mounting your camera low and putting the Letus Extreme up high instead? It says on the website that you can mount this way but I have yet to find anybody who has set their setup up this way. Wonder why?

Thanks,

Dan

where did you get the matte box from. Trying do do set up like yours for my dvx 100b. Got any advice. Have the extreme on the way. Also do you have any suggestions on trying to use the extreme with a steadicam or handheld?

Here's my old set up - I used Cinevate rail blocks and a 5/8 piece of aluminum rod to raise a second set of Zacuto rails. Awesome set up. Really like the Cinevate rail block - will do just about anything configuration wise.

However, you'll notice that I have nothing to "mount" the Letus (snorkel side up) to the rods, so I had the Letus mount cradling the LEX and my 5/8 rod supporting the snorkel. Not the best way to do this but still for a $100 or so, good solution if you're not wanting to spend the Zacuto $$$

So I found out shortly afterwards that Letus had an extended riser (seen in the Zacuto configs) - with another Letus rail mount, it allows you to raise another set of rails and mount to the Letus at the same time. I LOVE this setup and it's only $50 not including a second set of rails...

I don't have any pics but will take some this week.
