Mike O'Shea just had a run of practice cages made. They are the cages we use at the SOA workshop and, in my opinion, for what it's worth; they are one of the best cages out there. Very versatile with its height capabilities depending on how many rods you get, which is great if you are using it with different cameras. The best part, I feel, is the hole system he gets tapped, holes on both the top and bottom and they are all over the place. Separate holes for camera screws that are countersunk so they don't get in the way of mounting the dovetail plate. You can see pictures of them on Mike's website Filmotion. If interested shoot Mike an email thru his site or give me a call and I'll give you his number.

Hey Folks,

 

Cool thanks for all the input. I have tried Mike on the phone and havent heard back, Like you said the website has said out of stock for months.

 

Rob, I guess you being in thailand is why I havent been in touch. If you would drop some #'s on price and shipping. I would see if it would work. As far as building my own, I would love too but it would reallistically be a coulple day job for me. Between being an AC/fledgling op/ and a landlord im SOL. Beau

As much as I like the prefix of Doctor, I regret that I am not one. Boy would that have made my mom proud. Do you think doctors have to do their 1st couple operations for free as resume builders???? I know Mike's website says out of stock but trust me, contact him, I was just at his house on Saturday and saw the pile of metal.

 

Bryan how are you? I am sorry I haven't replied to you yet. Hope all is well happy holidays.

I have got some inquieries for the DV-weightcage that I made a while ago, however, it's not enough to run a new batch of them.

 

Price: 200 Euro or 255 US $ + Handling/Transport

 

So if there are operators that are still interested in this, please let me know so I can decide what to do about it.

 

Best,

 

Rob
