Premium Members Michael Tsimperopoulos SOC Posted March 17, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 A few years ago, I was asked to fly a Varicam on its side, for a video-instalation art project where all monitors would also be sitting on their sides. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing, so a little improvisation was required as the sun was going down. I used a Hill Arri-3 Low-Mode Bracket to mount the camera on its side, and quite a few dogbones attached to the XCS plate to provide the much-needed rigidness and support. Surprisingly, there was no vibration whatsoever. The Transvideo Cinemonitor has mounting points on all sides, so that was easy. If I had a little more time, I'm sure I would find a more elegant way to do it, but most probably the Hill bracket would be my starting point once again. On a side note, the experience of composing for a vertical frame (9:16) was so refreshingly different, that I had a wonderful time. Take care ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members GrantCulwell Posted March 18, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks Michael and Eric. As of right now, we're thinking the set up may take longer than production scheduled time for. If that changes Eric, I'll give you a shout for the mount.
