Mark Baluk Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Sorry for any obvious answers. This is my first time using a preston unit. And I figured I would rent it out for the shoot so I could get accustomed to using it in the future. I will be renting out a preston fiz package in two weeks, and I wanted to know the best way to mount the mdr onto a Zephyr. In the past I've velcro'd a BDR to the camera Any ideas or reccommendations. A search came up with nothing on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted November 7, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I use 2M Dualock velcro (much stronger) right under the stage. It's a bit messy when docking (i usually leave just enougn room for the docking bravket to fit) but it gets the job done. Otherwise on the camera like you did before.

Premium Members Robert Starling SOC Posted March 21, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 The MDR doesn't have to be mounted to the sled, it can be mounted to the camera as well which may or may not have more surface area.

Premium Members Jameson Johnson Posted March 22, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I haven't used a preston, but could it mount onto 15mm rails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Baluk Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I ended up using some brackets that came with the kit to screw to the mdr and mounted onto the rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
