My Letus35 FE setup

[someday]

This is with a PD170 but usually i will use it with the HVX-200
Longer rods are coming in order to unhide the Nikon lens...

Nice step up. Is that the Cavision matte box and rod system?

Looks like it could use a little more support but definitely looks slick.

Cavision rod support: Arri, 38cm rods are coming.
A second Cavision lens support will hold the Letus and it's coming too.
Matte box is from Active Industries, purchased in ebay, from India, It's all plastic, but it looks like it was metal. It's cheap and i didn't want to invest in a matte box.

Very nice setup...I too had to configure my setup with the Nikon Lens above my Canon camera lens in order for the CCD's to line up correctly.

Did you buy your arri rods from ebay? If so, they won't fit your cavision.

yep, i got it from the same guy. It tapers at the end but the middle is about 15.9mm. I raised hell with the guy but he would not accept returns saying that the description is accurate and no previous customers had complaints. Lemme know if you have any luck.

Holla at me if anyone wants 14 inch rods for arriflex.

Hey Someday,
Did you ever sort out your rod situation? I'm curious after having no luck returning them I relisted and sold my rods to some guy with an arri support and he said it didn't fit his either.

The seller is now listing them as 15.6mm (still wrong, won't fit brevis's 15.8mm either). I'm going to leave neg feedback and file a dispute with paypal/cc if I don't hear him. I'd like to know what you did or what's the best course of action (anyone?) Thanks!

Edit: Original seller finally agreed to refund. Hope it all follows through.
