Michael Hardwick Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 So I have a ton of low mode with a Red in my immediate future. Of course using the ET cheese plate up top. PRO 2, so no groovy built in tilt plate like the Ultras. Not used one before, but I love the idea of using the Hill 435 bracket to adjust the tilt angle instead of tilting the sled... Can the the camera end of the bracket bolt to the ET Cheeseplate, or is it based on that 435 handle dovetail and otherwise non-usable? Thanks for any guidance Michael Hardwick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted May 7, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 The Hill 435 Low-mode bracket is specially designed to be attached to a Arri 435 and has rudimentary attachment point only found on the Arri 435... I would try: http://www.baer-bel.de/ Go to products page 18 and check out the "Dogcatcher" Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jess Haas SOC Posted May 7, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I have a low mode cage of sorts made by actionproducts that has the ability to tilt. It would probably work for your needs. My gear will be back in LA on Monday if you want to check it out. ~Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardwick Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Thanks for the clarification - as I feared. Definitely want to avoid cages if possible, and I will check out the dogcatcher tilt plate. Have the George Clinton riff in my head now... " Do the dawg catcha!" Hey Erwin, miss Mt. Shasta at all?
