C300: C300MKIII/C500MKII Top plates, handles, & rig accessories

[chris f]

I've spent the past couple of days tinkering with all the odds and ends that I have from previous set ups to find a general set-up I like before buying anything new to get things EXACTLY where I want them and I'm curious....

What is everyone using to rig their C300MKIII/C500MKII with? I was going to go with the Zacuto top plate as that's what I'm used to from my C200s, but the Bright Tangerine top plate looks interesting in that it's a sliding plate (which could come in handy when getting things perfectly balanced for Easyrig) and it has 15mm rod support out the front.

Right now I'm leaning towards:
Bright Tangerine Sliding Top Plate
Tilta Top Handle For Arri Alexa Mini Cage

The Tilta handle has a lower profile which I like AND it is NATO mount so I can adjust it side to side to find the horizontal balancing point for Easyrig and then with the Bright Tangerine Top Plate I could slide that back to maintain the vertical balancing point if I swap a lens or some other minor weight change.

I had my previous cameras FS7 and EVA1 rigged with smallRig top plates, nato rails, handle, rods, follow focus - but so far for the C300iii I didn't feel the need to mount anything else than a baseplate.

I put the smallrig c200 top plate on my C300iii and it still allows me to mount the provided monitor arm/mount contraption up front (but lower and more streamlined than on the canon top handle).

I like it so far, as it keeps things relatively clean and simple.
