There are a lot of photos here, but I feel it is necessary to show the versatility of the system.

We have the parts back from the anodizer now and the WEBstore will be set for ordering tomorrow, I will post the link here as soon as it is set up. Kits will ship out Monday.

The cheese plate for the top of the FS7 does not require removing the handle, just the screws on the side you want to mount it on, and replace them with my screws. This is nice for mounting Monitors or Recorders like the O7Q, and with this plate you can use my Odyssey mounting system that always keeps the horizon level and allows mounting in the back, front high or low and on the right or left side of the FS7. I call it the half cheese plate, it is very light and mounts on either side, or you can use 2 to have both sides at the same time. I will also add any custom threaded holes you may need 4mm or ⅜" for example if you contact me. The bottom of the plate is rubberized so it will not mar the finish on the camera.


And I have the tail hook for the VCT14 back with 15mm rod clamps ready as well. Next week I will have a 15mm vertical or horizontal cheese plate for the rear of the FS7 with a choice of battery plates BPU, GoldMount or IDX Vmonts. This is nice because you can balance the camera by sliding the batteries back and forth on the Rods. And a special Metabones/Canon lens foot fastener or standard lens support on the front rails. More on this next week.

The photos shows our basic kit with suede shoulder pad and 15mm rail clamps for the front of the FS7. The photos also show all the ways you can use the Odyssey mounting kit to place the EVF or Odyssey pretty much anywhere. This will work fine with the Sony Back as well. The Odyssey can be used as a screen when shouldering instead of the EVF or can help to balance the FS7 when shouldering. Or it can be used by a focus puller on the right, the positions are almost endless. It will also work with the back cheese plate/battery plate mount on the 15mm rod part of my kit or with the cheese plate that can be mounted on the back of my rig w/o rods in the back.

I like the look of this top cheeseplate!

Also, be very interested to see the Metabones support as all of the lens supports I have wont get past the "lip" at the front of the camera.

Here are some photos of the Metabones and big lens support I make for the FS7, it is pretty universal and will fit on lots of cameras.

This is before anodizing, the parts will be black. Just quick snaps in the metal shop before tumbling, final hand polishing and anodizing.

As you can see the angle piece is reversible so it can be used at many different heights and offsets. The cost will be $125.00 and I will post link here for ordering as soon as it is up on our WEBstore. The pieces will be back from the anodizer on Thursday and there are other parts coming back here then as well like the VCT14 tail hook/15mm clamps and the rear cheese plates for 15mm rods.

You can contact me directly if you want to pre order, I will be shipping out Thursday afternoon.

So the standard holes are 1/4 20?

Yes the standard holes are ¼-20.

But you can spec any size tapped holes at any distance apart. And I will add them for $5.00 for each hole. Just add note when ordering or contact me directly.
