A few questions from a new XH A1 owner
1. Is it possible to attach an M2 without the support rails and use it efficiently? I don't have the money for the 1200 dollar rig yet.
2. What is your favorite preset? Thanks! |
Can't help with the M2.
Favourite preset is Steven Dempseys VIVIDRGB. Trev |
I would positively not use the M2 without rails.
|
well then...
is there a way to buy an inexpensive rail system and/or achromat? or do I need the achromat at all?
thanks for all your help! EDIT: I'm going to be using Nikon Bayonet mount lenses |
My info was that you do need the achromat so the camera can focus properly on the screen. There are lots of rail systems out there. Check B&H.
|
If you don't want a rail system look at the brevis. I would recommend a rail system no matter what, but you can use the brevis and the letus without a rail system.
|
Remember, you have the Brevis and then whatever different lenses you add. That's a lot of weight far out from the body. I definitely wouldn't do it without rails. I seriously doubt that on a camera the size of the XH A1 they over-engineer the lens mount for much more than a lens hood and a filter. Most everybody that adds a mattebox with more than one filter slot also uses rails.

I don't have an m2 but i do have a letus extreme and its much cheaper and in my preference just better for the price you could try one of there rigs there definently a great buy!
