    Hey Folks,

    Just thought I would share this with you, we have been working on trying to tidy up our setup, to keep it neat, and provide power for the follow focus and video split.

    Here are a couple of photos of the aluminium plates that we have built, they include a power breakout using 2-pin lemo connectors. The other benefit we have found is that with the MōVi dovetails integrated into the plates there is no way possible they can twist.

    Both top plate and bottom plate that we have built are lighter than the MōVi dovetail and MAP-1 combination, and also quite a bit stiffer as well.

    Since we use the RT Motion follow focus, the LBUS port on the PL mount lens is not used. We got in touch with ARRI and asked if we could power accessories from this, and they advised that it will supply battery voltage at up to 4 Amps. So we use a 4 pin lemo to two pin lemo into our top plate to power all the accessories. When we have to go handheld there is enough power to also power a Small HD 502 which we use as a view finder.

    Cheers

    Chris

    Hi Rick,

    Yes I will be selling them, at the moment they are built to order, but if there is enough interest I can do a batch run.

    Hi Chris, we have been using your setup on an M15 with a Mini Alexa on a local Melbourne drama almost daily. It has been working very and saves us a lot of build time. We have also incorporated the steadi mate arm and vest, again almost daily and this setup had been working very well and we have definitely put the rig to the test. Very happy with results alll round.
