Formatt Matte Box - Any way to attach to rods?

[justmarvin]

I bought this a while back: http://www.amazon.com/Formatt-FM-500-Filter-Holders-rotates/dp/B0007GFP8O

It screws on directly to my DVX100 lens.

I got a rod system with letus extreme, and I was wondering if there was any way to incorporate this into the rod system.

If I can't attach it to the rod, can I buy one of those adapter rings to fit my Nikon Primes? I have a 85mm, 28mm, 50mm, and 135mm. How do I know the thread size of these lenses? I'm not sure what adapter ring would fit these nikon primes. Any help would be much, much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

He's desperate. I'd bump too if I was desperate. Back to topic, is this what you're talking about?

The picture is pretty self explanatory. just find a small drill bit and screw two holes....and look at image.

cavision rails all come with a bracket for mounting matteboxes. They mount from the bottom.

something like this:

lol @ bump.

thekreative, thanks for the link, helped me put it all in perspective.

bluespider, thanks so much for the how-to pics. Do the screws get in the way of the stationary filter holder at all (i mean when put in a filter)?

I just read this thread: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=122262

hopefully mine was the batch of rods that wasn't oversized > 15mm.
