Hello,

I know these are scarce, but if anyone has one that has been sitting for a while or wants to part with theirs, please let me know.

I don't like your chances, I hunted pretty extensively for one a while back to no avail.

Is there a particular rigging setup you're looking to achieve? I was able to create a pretty ideal setup with mine, using the front plate of a Berkey Systems F3 cheeseplate on the side of the camera, and a Wooden Camera rail-mounted top handle on top of the regular Sony plate: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?347371-Rigging-experiments

It's pretty affordable, and gives you all the mounting points you're likely to need.

I'd recommend the Berkey Systems top handle over the Wooden Camera one though, because the rotating handle on the WC kept coming loose, and having to be retightened (which gets old pretty quickly).

Thanks man! I saw your setup in the forum and it looks great. I am only concerned about how strong the anchor is to the top plate. How did you do it? Those 4 screws are tiny and I don't see a way to attach a Nato rail on to it. Another solution would be to place a cheeseplate on top and use the small screws and drill new holes to put it in place.
I own a Zacuto Recoil handle, and I love that thing. So versatile. But it anchors using a nato rail. I would like to use it to attach an external evf.

It's a pity we didn't grab a pair that were selling on the forum in Feb this year. If I catch a spare one somewhere, I'll send you the info.
 
Would an FS7 top Plate from Small rigs align with the pre drilled holes by removing the handle? Anyone knows?
