Pics of the Underside of HD100U? Tripod Support.

I was curious if anyone has, or could take some photos of the underside of the HD-100U / HD101? I am trying to see what the tripod socket and surounding body consists of (ie. 1/4"-20), and how the JVC V-lock tripod adapter supports the front and rear of the camera. I am looking to add an Arri MB-19 (4"x5.65") matte box, a new Arri FF-5HD, and an (adapted) Arri Bridge plate to the HD-100U. The rather small tripod mounting point (ie. just below and to the rear of the lens mount) is making me reconsider some the bridge plate / lightweight suppport options. It does not seem as though there is any mounting point on the rear of the camera (ie. behind the shoulder pad). I have seen the numerous pictures of the Chrosziel LWS / matte box / DV rig FF setup, which do not seem very "secure" on the bottom of the camera(s). If any one can provide some insight / input on how the bottom of the camera is configured, and how the demo HD100U / Chrosziel kit handled, it would be much appreciated. Pictures of the underside of a stock HD100U would be helpfull also.

Thanks,
