GH2 Help I need some rig dimentions.

HI all

I just need some rig dimention if you could help me.

I know there are standard sizes for any add on`s to a rig such as a matte box but I just need to know them.

I am creating a shoulder rig from some carbon fiber tube and some rectangular aluminium bar but other than I know its 15mm tube I know nothing.

I need the spacing between each tube and the height the center of the matte box would be so I can make the camera base just the right height for it.

As good as the manufactured ones are I cant bring myself to pay hundreds of pounds on some thing that looks so simple to make ...... I will keep you posted on my progress.


Thanks very much.

All I can say is 60mm between the center of the two 15mm rods under the camera.
Don't know about the mate box height. (maybe contact a manufacturer and ask them, they may answer you if you are interested in their mate box.)

Optical center of the lens should be 85mm above the center line of the rods. The matte box center should be at the same level.
