[Charles2009]

For the last few years, i have been attending the famous Cine Gear show in LA. I since i got my hands on an F3 from Sony recently... ( yeah i'm lucky!) i was looking to fit it on a rig that allows me to put it on a V Mount plate.

Well boys and girls...

poor design of 4pin xlr though, it blocks the sxs door being able to open, i hope they change that.

All you have to do is use a straight plug. Problem solved. Very cool though, nice find. They have website?

Pity there isn't a design with just one front handle centrally positioned...I hate the double handle design, I'd prefer to keep my left hand on the Lens.

Any idea on a release date for this rig?

That shows where this really belongs- DSLR world- ergonomics out the window. The DSLR accs comanies made some money and in the process raised a whole generation of users with no clue about ergonomics. Most of these young men (and girls) think now that front heavy rigs with two long handles making you stretch your arms, belly support rods, etc. all that awkward counterweights in the back are PRO look. God save us.....

Here is an other v-lock plate - should work fine with a FS100 but maybe not so good with a F3 - still front heavy.

But as long as you mainly use it as just a plate and rod system, for 280 bucks...

I have a central handle that screws into a base plate or camera bottom. It worked well with lighter cameras, but when I tried it on the F3 it was too heavy to control properly.
