Woah, some of those set ups are insane. I enjoyed looking through this thread, can't beat some good ol' tech porn.

Heres my tiny hv30 set up, ideal for me as i'm just starting out working on my short film and someones feature, very lightweight, small and produces great results. Oh and ignore the shi tty mic. 35mm adapter is JAG35 vibrating. Also getting flip hack so i can see the images right side up-no external monitor for me!

Heres some cool photos. We were shooting in an abandoned garage place, it was a huge depot for servicing and repairing london taxis. Has been closed and unused for about 10 years. Really interesting place.

Bit of an odd video, its about a girl whos had her heart broken, and her and her flatmate kidnap the guy and take him to a warehouse where they force feed him heart shaped biscuits.

SGpro r3, flip, follow focus, Canon FD (new backfocus mount and XY adjustment ring) Redrock mattebox, stadicam flyer.
 
In that case I'll have to post my new and improved setup on my Warroll gear head. The thing's so heavy and the sticks massive too. Oh never mind....
 
HVX 200/ SGPro OCT 19 mount with carry handle and monitor mount

HVX 200/ SGPro OCT 19 mount with carry handle and monitor mount

Here's the latest incarnation of my SG Pro rig. After some time mounting my 7" Marshall HD LCD to an arm mounted on the camera I've found a way to isolate the HVX from the monitor mount and rod support system. I never liked having all that weight on the camera handle as it tended to slightly torque the adapter and put strain on the HVX's handle and lens thread.

I've used some components from the Redrock shoulder rig and other doodads to make a new monitor mount and carry handle which puts no strain on the HVX itself. The result is a rig which is very sturdy, reasonable light and very versatile. I can swing the monitor in any direction and mount it at any angle without slippage or strain on my camera.

As you can see the additional hardware mounts to the auxiliary rods. I had to put an offset bracket to work around the body of the flip module.

Very pleased now with the rig. What do ya'll think?

IanD - Awesome rig, man. Just curious, can the RR grip handle all of that weight by itself? Or, do you have to carry that beast by holding the RR grip and the cam's grip too?
 
The RR grip *CAN* hold all the weight no problem, but since the handle isn't exactly on the rigs center of gravity I also hold it from under the rods. I never put pressure on the HVX handle. That's exactly the point of this engineering.

What I like about this setup is that I'm no longer worried about the camera getting damaged especially when moving the rig around, rigging to ladders, jibs and whatnot. Now I have rock solid hard points to grasp and rig to if necessary. Now the camera mounts to the adapter rather than the adapter to the camera. This was my attempt to come closer to the sturdiness of the P&S Technik.

very nice thread, discovered just today. Some of this stuff looks way overkill though, like the gearhead tripod or the shoulder mounted rigs with external monitor....you guys are real gear slutz:Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

looks like I might get one of these bj35 adaptors for my hv20.....I read about a flip hack for this ....anybody care to point me to some sources?
 
Overkill for me is only when it becomes gratuitous or impractical. As a pro who needs to rely on his gear almost daily it's critical that it can function the same way every time and as importantly, survive the rigors of production. I see plenty of rigs which look like they'd fall apart within minutes on your average indie shoot or take a nose dive at any time due to their front biased balance.

I also think it's very important to make your rig as ac-friendly as possible. It just makes for a better experience all the way around.
