Nothing really sitting on the hotshoe.

You mean the EVF eyecup?

I drilled small holes. Not great. But it worked for me.

New review video is delayed. I got a new FF, but it was a bad copy. I'm waiting for free exchange.

Maybe I will do a quick review without FF...

Thanks, but I meant the hotshoe (for flash and led light accessories) that connected to your left handle, can be seen in 3:19 in your video.

Oh the coldshoe? :)

- Weifeng WF-718
- Berkey System baseplate, rods, blocks, handles, pads

@labalbi

The editman cage is already an old concept. There are better alternatives.

e.g. http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/comment/103265#Comment_103265

That's one piece metal cage solution. Much easier to add more gadgets on it. It will stabilize the body better with bottom/top locks for better racking focus. Rack focus is getting easier with the latest CINE lenses.

Or you could try the ones with C-shape bracket.

Either way is better than the editman rig.

Howdy, Stranger!
