Ollywood88 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hi Guys, Any 1DC shooters here looking for a cage/rig for hand held work. Small rigs do a half cage. I am assuming I just need to buy a longer rod? I would like the cheese rod and place a handle on the side. https://www.amazon.com/SmallRig-Camera-Canon-Panasonnic-Fujifilm/dp/B011NVXP1A?tag=viglink23612-20 What monitor is worth purchasing, I saw the SMALLHD Focus one, Looks great, wondered If I can get one cheaper not too fussed on features main ones would be false colour and peaking. I did see a USED DP4 and a used Marshall 5 inch monitor but only 800x400. Any rig setups would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Harper Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I've got the Wooden Camera cage with a Ninja Blade monitor. Didn't pay that price for it though. Picked up all my stuff used via kijiji. https://www.woodencamera.com/canon-1dc-camera-accessory-kit-base-guide-s/336.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mido Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 This will work: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SMALLRIG-VersaFrame-Cage-Large-for-Canon-EOS-1DC-Canon-1DX-Nikon-D3X-D3S-1750-/252380527809 It works for 1DXII. Regarding monitor, I have SmallHD 501 but I guess SmallHD Focus would be better as it's much brighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollywood88 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Thank you for your reply. Yeah wanted a half cage so this would come apart I would add handles too. what setup have you got?/ what camera? DP4 any good or is it old now thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mido Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I have 1DXII and SmallHD 501 but for handheld work it's just Zacuto Enforcer and Zacuto Z-Finder. I mapped one of the front buttons (near the lens) on camera for AF on/off and that's it. DPAF is absolutely fantastic and it almost never failed me. Amongst other stuff I have XC10 and 80D. Will probably sell 80D and buy 5DIV for Movi as 1DXII is a bit heavy. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
