I would pose this question on the cinevate website. But their not quick on responding to questions. I recently purchasesd the flip module from cinevate. And when i set it up to my rails i cant seem to get it so it doesnt rotate the brevis unit and uncentering the image. Is there a special method for locking the brevis and flip module to an hvx and rails system?
Brevis flip: how do you keep it from rotating?

? Don´t understand that one.
Do you mean the Brevis itself (the carbon part) keeps rotating? you need to tighten the screws a little then. You got the allen-keys with the Brevis, right?
My setup: HVX - then the stepdown-ring - then Achromat and flip and Brevis. You need to set it up once so it is all aligned straight. All screws are fingertight, don´t need more. Then I have the cinevate rails and Brevis-support-ring.
There are videos on the Brevis site which show all this. Check those out!

P, it's in the basic setup video here. Between the initial setup where you adjust for both XY and rotational alignment, and then making sure the Brevis-to-rails quick release is snugged up, it should be rock solid from there on in. Once you've done the basic setup it should come off/on the rails and camera within 20 seconds or so without further tweaks.
