I would use a rod clamp and put on the same rod that holds the monitor. Could use an extra rod with a right angle rod adapter to change orientation. Tbh I dont like the tilta cage, it's missing mounting points and has less configurations compared to mid49 or wooden camera cages, but I do understand it's much more affordable. keep on sharing ! :)
Thanks for that, I’m trying to figure out if I have enough bits to make that work. Yeah I think some of the more expensive cages would offer more flexibility for sure.
Hey Martin! Yeah I’m thinking about putting one of my pyro 7” up there but also don’t necessarily want to create that footprint. I will test it though. I have a 5” monitor as well that I used to use on my c70, I should try that as well. It’s been about 8 years since I visited Hobart, it’s a bloody beautiful place!
Love seeing your setup. I wanted to go with the Tilta Vmount plate but couldn't find on in stock. Tried to reach out to Tilta a couple different ways to get an estimate and they never replied so I ended up going with the Wooden camera v-mount and VCT base. So far super happy with that. I do need to rig up a top plate and handle so I can get a better CoG for my Easyrig ball. Also want to do the Mid49 mini XLR to XLR kit and mount that off one of the side rails.
Wooden camera stuff is solid, you won’t have any issues with it. A sliding top handle would be great for those finer CoG adjustments. I think both bright tangerine and mid49 have those as an option. Just not sure how far the mid49 can move. Yeah the mid49 breakout looks awesome, I’m very interested!!
Seems quite busy. What do you think of it compared to Wooden Cage? I decided to order a wooden cage elite system but I was contemplating between this and wooden. The bulk scared me off from this one. What are your thoughts?
With the Tilta one I wish the top handle didn’t take up so much space. They could have gotten away with one screw at each end rather than the four screws it has. I’m pretty happy otherwise. The price of the wooden camera one was out of my price range but it does look great. It’s had to tell on the specs on their websites which one is heavier but my Tilta one does add some weight to the camera.
@@videographerstuff539 it’s about 1,579g for all parts only, (not mounted to the camera, which weighs 2,715g with the side hand grip, battery, monitor and cable) For the wooden elite kit, once you take off some of the parts you may not need, like the rods, or baseplate, top 1/3 pieces, nato rail, etc which is very well designed for the wooden gear, you can vary your gear from 400g for just the top plate, handle mounts and handle (and you can mount much to just these pieces) all the way up to the 1,579g with the whole setup, or anything in between. I may make a video about it. :)
Please take off the plastic film on the vlock plate. For the transmitter you could use the same quick release plate but just put a receiver on the side plate. Or even just some Velcro on the side and back of the block battery or side plate. You could also do a nato rail on the base of the transmitter and small block nato clamp on the top handle instead of the cold shoe mount.

Thanks, looking forward to more feedback.
👍 yeah I got a few things to run through for sure!
@@videographerstuff539 Is that the only monitor you use? What about an EVF or larger external. By the way I am in Hobart. Regards Martin.

@@videographerstuff539I’ll weigh it and let you know. 👍🏽

Yeah you should totally do a video! The more details like this out in the world will help people decide for sure!

Thanks for that! A nato option might suit off the top handle. Just gotta keep it clear of the easyrig cord and my hand for grip
@ yah it’s why I would probably just clamp it to the side instead.
