Thanks to the folks at Juicedlink, I've had a chance to get my hands on their new Accessory Brackets (from the DIY Line):
(Note: I'm in no way affiliated with Juicedlink or any representatives therein
)
There's quite a few configurations for rigging (ie. screwing a quick release to the bottom), but for my needs, I think using the 101B as an accessory bracket on rails works best):
The bracket comes disassembled in 4 black anodized aluminum bars which you screw together (necessary hardware included):
The brackets ship with joining screws (+ spares), along with accesory mounting screws, rubber washers, and a strip of adhesive cork (not pictured):
Robert also sent me the 15mm mounting block for the bracket (DIY105B). I had to use an allen key to tighten the block onto my rails, which caused the ends to bulge a bit - doesn't hinder functionality, but did look a little funky :
As you can see, there's a lot of mounting holes (7 on each side, 11 on top, 4 on bottom) for all your accessories - in both industry sizes.
Per the Website, the DIY Line may have some surface imperfections to prioritize affordability, but honestly, what imperfections I could spot were few.
It would be nice if the bracket by default accommodated taller/gripped DSLR bodies, but it looks like Juicedlink has something to address that (DIY106B):
The bracket also has enough clearance to use as a handheld solution akin to a Fig Rig - here I have my DP6 and audio setup:
Overall, I'm really pleased with the product - true, the DIY Line doesn't have the glamor of much more expensive products, but then again you're saving money which can go towards more accessories. The DIY101b has strength, usefulness and affordability, and I plan on using it for a long time. Thanks again Robert!
