Hehe. Thanks!

Even though I posted my A1 set up a few pages back... since DIY adapters are now apparently fair entrants, here is my set up again, but with my recently built DIY 70mm Mid-Format DOF adapter.

You can see test footage here, if you're interested 70mm DOF Adapter Test

Its a Glidecam Camcrane 200 with self made remote head on Manfrotto Tripod and Dolly. It works very fine.
