Hey everybody, I am having a custom top plate made for my PMW-F3. I took the handle off and where it was attached the innards of the camera are exposed. So I am having a top plate made by a friend with a CNC machine to cover the entire top of the camera. In preparation I am having trouble getting exact measurements of all the screw holes. Does anyone have a schematic with measurements they would care to share?
 
So far no success: Sony sent me the same isometric drawings that you can find in the user manual, which is of no great help to me. I will certainly post images once it is done but for now I am still hoping someone can hook me up with schematics that have measurements between the screws on top of the camera.
 
Maybe try seeing if you could find measurements from the 3ality armor or a user on here that has it to give you measurements from theirs? Just a thought. If not you may just end up having to grab some calipers and measuring yourself. Are you adding mounting holes to your replacement top plate? Any plans to replace the side panel and remove the camcorder handle? Keep us in the loop! I'm local and would be interested to see what you come up. Possibly interested in one for myself too.
 
Digital calipers are cheap from aliexpress, I'd say the path of doing it yourself and measuring is the way to go.
