Hi
I have now two accessories to use with my gh3. An external hdmi 7'' monitor and rode videomic. Now my question is how to Mount them both? for now work with tripod/monopod. I would like to know solutionr for this use, or eventually another solution(shoulder rig..or whatever..)
thanks
 
i don't understand where do i Mount the equipment.i see onl one shoes Mount.what about the tripo head plate?does it attach at cage?i might also look for somehint simpler,just somehing that double the shoe..a shoe Mount duplicator. or i might sell the videomic. i bought for another camera and it was really needed. gh3 has got a good mic..don't know if videomic is still worthy

well...there's 3 shoe mounts right there. you can attach your videomic quite easily...i do the same thing, and attach my monitor...and a light. so that's 3 things I can attach to my camera quite easily.
 
Here's another very low cost option:

I have the GB-1, the basic model, at US$95 it's quite a bargain. The GB-2 adds rails and is US$120, and the GB-3 adds rails and a top handle for US$137.

I ordered 3 shoe mounts (actually only use two at present) for the top. All the threaded and non threaded holes allow mounting of a variety of things. Be sure to watch BOTH videos on that page. The GB series will handle almost all sizes of cameras including the 5D MkII/III.
 
this gearbox looks interesting. few questions : 1) do i need extensions for fit a gh3? wat do i use for the rod adpater bar? 3)i see the put a plate inside the cage, but can i put the plat at the bottom outside the cage,,so that i can quicl slide in the tripod head the Whole cage?.. i like this..only i would like to find something in europe to save custom fee!
 
hello need help
i reallly like the GB-1 Bruce indicates. Bu living in Europe, i need to find something to buy in Europe as custom taxes makes buying from USA really expensive. So i ask to anyone some hint on buying a cage in Europe
 
do you need something hand held? if so I would go with a 5 inch monitor, i got a liliput 7 inch monitor and dont like it on my shoulder rig, its just massive. I would recommend a 5 inch monitor, OR if you are going to be shooting with a tripod, get a clamp to clamp the 7 inch monitor on the tripod and then use the hotshoe for the rode video mic. I'm not sure what the clamps are called but they bend like a gorilla pod to get in place, im sure someone can link it for you.
 
need to know about this clamp!
would be great! i have bought a 7 inch monitor, and i use mostly on tripod, i am thnking the cage for mic and monito, nut if there is kind of clamp to attac to tripod (or head?) beter..less mess around
