Where do I buy these? (rail block)

[mcbob]

I'm cobbling together a personalized rig from second-hand parts... I have a few of these, but not enough... these have been perfect, but I have no idea who makes them or where to get them.

Optionally, any vendor from whom I could source piecemeal rail blocks would be a great lead. Thanks.

Those are from Cinevate. http://www.cinevate.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=68

I'm a big fan of Berkey System though. I use their rail blocks on my Steadicam for my monitor mount. I think they've got a much better hole configuration, and they take up less space on your rods too. Also, the price includes free shipping. http://www.berkeysystem.com/store/60mm-rail-blocks/rail-block-standard/

You may want to not link to a picture on the Philip Bloom forums. To view the picture on here, you need to sign in over there first, and that's not a great thing to make someone do. Just post it as an attachment on here.

That's it, thanks! And thanks much for the alternate suggestion.

Sorry for the hotlink, it's been fixed

Every now and then I get on eBay's camera section and search for things like "15mm rail", etc. Amazed at all the little doodads from Taiwan that show up. There's a guy selling follow focus gear rings for $18 that are the same quality as RedRock's $45 pieces. And he has free shipping.
