    The Pro-Aim 15mm rods are the same diameter, but the thread-pitch of the male and female ends are not compatible with Gini and TrusMT rods. Don't know if they'll play with the Lanparte rods.
  • mrmukkemrmukke
    One last question before my decision: Are the rods included? (Confusing that in the ebay link on page 1, it says they're not)
  • jaecjaecjaecjaec

    Mine came with 2 12" and 2 8" rods. Considering that they are aluminum, they are surprisingly heavy. Swapping mine out for carbon fibers soon.

    About seller.
    This is direct manufacturer deal. As all other special deals we have.

    About extending orders. This is special deal. So, to prevent load on me and seller, no extension.
    Use ebay. Period.

    i would like to get one ;)
    Vitaliy: Pm
  • RetinaRetina
    Can anyone compare the quality to a Gini rig?
  • brandonmrshbrandonmrsh
    Does the seller sell just parts, or only the rig? just curious!
  • jaecjaecjaecjaec
    The seller sells everything. The deal is only for the rig.
  • brandonmrshbrandonmrsh
    Gotcha. Do they have an ebay page or anything?
  • Nino_IlacquaNino_Ilacqua
    I bought this rig and I am waiting for delivery. Is it possible to attach it on the tripod or do I need some other part for this?
  • RetinaRetina
    Sorry for my newbie questions, but would it be possible to mount an external monitor to this setup using one of their 'magic arms'? Would I have to use the offset option or the 'normal' one? Viewfinders aren't my cup of tea as I have one bad eye...
  • jaecjaecjaecjaec
    Retina...If you plan on using this with an external monitor, you want the straight rig. The offset rig offsets the enter camera towards the center of your face, so that you can use the camera's screen or view finder. And yes, you can mount the magic arm. It simply clamps to the 15mm rails on one end and to the monitor to the other end. I have the 'professional' version of this rig. Same thing, just loaded with everything such as matte box, battery supply, etc....You'll like it. I'm going to try a video review on youtube soon...I have a cold right now and sound totally stuffed up.

    btw..something wrong with your retina?
  • RetinaRetina
    @jaecjaec: Thanks for the explanation... So if I were to pull the camera screen out, I could still use the straight rig?

    Really looking forward to your video review, who cares that you'll sound like you have a hangover! ;-)

    Thankfully, nothing serious with my left eye, it's just slightly less in focus than my right eye, and if I use only my right eye, I get a splitting headache! :-) Also, I find it more difficult to keep the surroundings in check if I only look through the viewfinder. I guess I'll end up with an external monitor with hood.

    I've always liked the word Retina, and I couldn't think of any better name when I made my account here. ;-)

    If you want a closer look at the rig, I just posted a video:

    @jaecjaec

    Thanks.
    But initial plans and camera level are kind of strange :-)
    Try to reshoot them with camera rised to the face level and intercut with existing stuff.
  • jaecjaecjaecjaec
    @Vitaliy_Kiselev

    That's what my wife said :) I didn't want my face in the frame. Might scare people off. Just a quickie for those wanting more detail on the rig and are considering this deal.
  • lanpartelanparte
    Thanks Jaecjaec, you can put the battery pinch at the back of the shoulder support.
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev
    @lanparte

    I think that you can supply shoulder pad with either much longer rods or second straight clamp and extra rods.
    As counterweight is much more effective if placed further at the back.
