i just read all 40 pages of this thread, wow....
35mm adapter rig photos
- Thread starter ryvac
- Start date
I already have a Zacuto type of Universal donut for less than $90. I've made it myself. I'm not sure what type of cloth they used but $90 seems quite expensive for me. All it took was a piece of velcro, stretchy cloth and some stitching to do and that's it.
I just uploaded some pics of my rig to my website here:

Luis,
Yes, the image is upside down when shooting. You would need to either buy the $545(not sure on exact price) MicroX flip adapter or use mirrors to somehow make the image right side up. I believe there are plenty of M2 users who use an external monitor, but I personally don't have the money right now and do more "run and gun" style shooting....so the added weight is too much. The M2 is a great device and I'm beginning to learn it's potential, just waiting for the weather to get warmer in Ohio to shoot more outside stuff.
I bought the M2 (without the camera) with the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens for $715 shipped through a user here on DVXuser.com. I'd suggest looking in the marketplace forum for a used one as it helps when you are just starting out and don't have to spend thousands on a brand new one.

Just acquired a Nikon 300mm f/2.8 for...well...free.
I'll upload a detailed shot later when I put my rig back together, so here's a teaser...

mozingopj,
Dude! thanks for that info! it's weird I didn't think about that before... like if I get an adapter without the flipper thing then I can use and external monitor and turn it upside down. I wish my HVX would have came with an upside down switch!
By the way I'm also waiting for the weather to break. But at least it's giving me time to do all the research on the setup I'm aiming for.
on another note... I had forgotten all about the DVX marketplace.
thanks a million!

Here's my rig on my newly aquired Pegasus. I need to balance it better and such but for now it works.

Lor, in our EX3 rig (3 posts up), we put the shoulder rig almost in the center of the rods, and since the camera is heavier than the adapter + lense, the balance is very good (see our shoulder test over here)

Wow, digging that dolly! That's some serious DIY.
That Malaysian footware is interesting for a set too! ;-)

Is that a 4 or a 5 piece dolly kit? because I see an extra accessory on the floor.
That's why I don't trust friends that say "I have one, I'll bring it with me"
LOL...

I didn't mean to say Malaysia is a third world country. I was simply talking about where I came from. And I was commenting on the "4 or a 5 piece dolly kit" and not the camera itself.
In fact, I am still building my own dolly track system. Not as good as the pros but it'll do the job.
