Do you have any plans or close-up of the rod and base system? Thanks

Do you mind sharing any plans or componets? I thought your footage was incredibly crisp. What kind of achromat did you use? And why kind of glass did you end up going with for your adapter?

Thanks, sorry for getting back so late, been busy. The basic element for the rail system, I purchased from Home Depot, there was about 16 left from old stocks and couldn't find anymore. I screwed 2 of these together with a piece of aluminum to make the basic element. For the GG I used a focusing screen that I found from the used samys camera store. I bought three of them and messed up 2 of them trying to get it round, there was no info on it so I don't know what brand it was. I liked this GG the best cause the bokeh looked natural and didnt have that super out of focus look. The follow focus was a hell to make, especially the moving arm gear for the lens gear. Here are some pictures so you guys can check out the design.
