Anyone have an HX A1 with an SGpro adapter?

I am planning to purchase both within the month and I was just if anyone could upload a photograph of their rig so I could have an idea of how this monster's going to look.

Also, anyone care to elaborate on their experiences with this particular set up? Good or bad, I would love to know.

This is my first HD cam and my first 35mm adapter so I am looking for all the insight possible.

Thanks!

*XH A1 - sorry for my typo!

I'm considering getting a 35mm adapter as well, and I have an XH-A1. I've seen AMAZING footage with the Letus Extreme and the A1. I'd also like to see some pictures of A1 w/ certain 35mm adapters for a better feel of how it'd be setup.

rawfa just got an SGpro, but won't be able to post footage for a while (I believe he mentioned in another thread he was leaving for Rome shortly). I'd like to see some footage from that combination as well, to better make my decision.

EDIT: You can also take a look at this link from DVinfo where a user asked which adapter between the SGpro and M2 would be better for his A1:

Here ya go... great set up quite a few have got this rig on here,
Ive since added the sg follow focus and moved the monitor forward,
the monitor is for framing its only SD but has image flip built in,
I rum component to a 19"HDTV for focusing, you wont be disapointed if you get an A1 & SG

cheers Russ

Here's an XH-A1 Brevis rig .. sgfollowfocus, geardear lens support and donut, formatt fm-500 matte box, noga arm, 800x480 lilliput tft, cavision plate, custom sourced 15mm/55cm carbon rods (I have some for sale, if anyone interested).

Still deciding on how best to shoulder-pad it, have a cavision thing but its not ideal for this setup, I think I'm going to go with a custom thing.. cinevate 15mm block (their universal thing) bolted to a thin peice of aluminium plate, with foam covered with leather (or similar), that way it can slide *under* the baseplate, and slide forwards out of the way, when I want to dock to tripod
