Wooden Handles - mounting solutions?

[dvxkoji]

Folks,

Got here 4 beautiful handcrafted wooden handles that I want to use with a standard 15mm rig. Actually I plan to sell 3 of them once I found a way to mount them.

Here are some pics:


I thought about a rodmount like this:

but actually I would like it to be a little bit longer or more adjustable.

Anybody knows something that might work better. I also thought about Arri rosette system but thats just too expensive.

btw. if anybody is interested in one of them I also consider selling them the way they are now without any modifications done my myself.
would also trade for a wooden left-hand handle.

thanks,

David,

Got an idea where to order Arri rosettes for a reasonable price?

I came up with a solution awhile ago. However on my handle I didn't want to bore a giant hole through one side and wanted something similar to the Vocas option. I started a thread about my project here: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?287546-Wooden-Handgrip-DIY

The RAM ball mount solution I came up with is not perfect by but is very adjustable and very solid, albeit bulky. I would say it would not hold up to a large camera rig (20lbs or more) and for that you would want something more heavy duty like the rosette option.

Just searched on google, and ended up on another DVXuser thread:


Something like this would be perfectly doable too:

Westsideav.com sells rosettes for $25. They're in NH. (USA).

Only thing I've found, after a search on their website, but it's 50$:

I'd like to trade one of them for left-hand grip... anybody?
