F5: XLR Audio input problem for left eye shooter

[andycla]

I was considering buying an F5 but Ijust realized the XLR audio imputs are on the botton rightside of thr camera. I willmbe doing a lot of shoulder mount shooting I use my left eye and mount the camera on my left shoulder. Looks like the xlr cables will be right on my neck or face.

could somebody confirm this will be the case? I will be using a zacuto recoild or sony shoulder mount
If so there is any solution for this? I don't see any other audio imputs on the camera.

Thanks

There is this little guy....plugs into the side of the camera and ties the 2 XLR's into a single 5pin or 7pin XLR. Keeps the side of the camera flat.

Haha, you really do have a solution for everything don't you Carlos?

Great, Where I buy that one? I look at Solid cameras but I can't see to find it
