The guy makes one for the DVX as well (Already sold) It holds up to 6 filters and has room for the ana adapter, and at its price. seems like a good deal to me...
What do you guys think?

Yeah, it does look good. Wonder if the rosd can also be used to hold a follow focus setup at the same time.

Make sure they are 15mm rods, anything else and most of if not all FF will not work. Also make sure the rods are 60mm centre to centre, if they are off buy as little as 2 to 3 mm the FF and most other accessories will not work. Other than that it looks like a decent build. Ask about the ability to add french flags and do the stages rotate. Just two cents worth of advice.

Honestly, it looks ugly. But I guess for homemade, its awight. I woundn't pay 350 for it though. Maybe $150.

6 filters? Geez. I rarely ever (I can only think of once) say damn, I wish I had more than 2 stages.
