HVX and MatteBoxes

[SurJones]

I have Two matte boxes. Chrosziel 4x4 and a Century 4x4 with RODS. Will these fit. Do I need to get Widescreen versions of either one of these? thanks.

If not I guess I have 2 for sale

thanks for the info.

Should work with the right adapters.

I am using a Chrosziel 4x4 and it works great. I did have to add a 3/8" spacer to raise it a bit higher above the rods from where it was set for my BetaCam.

 

[SurJones]

can I see pics of the cam with matte box?

 

[SurJones]

Pics Larry?

 

[Larry McKee]

Sorry, I've been out of town. This is the only picture I have. It is the HVX with the M2 mounted with the mattebox. Not exactly what you asked for, but all I have.

Cool, is that an M2 support with the 24" rods?

 

[Larry McKee]

Yep, M2 support, but 18" rods.

 

[Zack Birlew]

Ah, very well, then I shall order the 24" rods when I get my M2, because it sure does look like you're a little cramped there for rod space!

What kind of Tripod and head is that?

 

[Larry McKee]

It is a Cartoni Gamma with single stage Cartoni sticks.

price? Still in the market for a tripod

I bought it about 6 or 7 years ago and it ran around $4000. It is very versatile and I have enjoyed working with it. It can handle my BetaCam with a large teleprompter just as easily as it worked with my DVX. Couldn't be happier with it.
