Olaf, will your right angle bracket interfere with the single horizontal battery plate system sold by C.D.?

Will you have any of these at NAB?

The rubber strip is a nice touch.

Dave, I will not be at NAB. I have a 3 week shoot in April in the GA and MO. There will be some of my stuff in the CD booth. As you may know I am primarily a shooter and run production company, the gear production is an outgrowth of what I make for myself. But I must say the gear production is starting to take over a bit. As I get older I must say I enjoy staying here in the valley working for local clients and making parts in my wood and metal shop more than insane travel schedules.

I do supply the bracket with an allen screw and wrench, as well as the large thumb screw, this will fit under the CD bracket as well. I think even the thumb screw fits as well. I have not had a CD battery plate in the shop yet. They are on backorder. I have 2 battery plate solutions as you may know they can be ordered with every battery plate I have, AB Gold Mounts, IDX/Sony V-mounts, Sony L, and Canon batteries.

I am sure the rubber keeps it from rotating, I just like the idea of an added indexing pin.

At NAB I am trying to figure out of the Tilta external EVF monitor arm can be adapted to your right angle bracket. Also, my Movcam cage has two upper forward facing holes for short upper rods that perhaps something can be attached to that with a horizontal perpendicular arm to attach to your bracket.

I am sure you can work something out. I always try to make really compact simple rigs with as few parts as possible. With my level bracket any ¼ or ⅜ threaded device can be added to the bottom. The bottom is also rubberized so it helps to keep the base from swiveling as well.

I decided against the pin to keep production simple thus price down. I can install the "pin" as a custom addition for $25.00 extra. It means another "tool change" in the CNC machine and a hand insertion of the pin in a press. It also makes the rubber installation a bit trickier.

Remember we don't make thousands of these in a big factory. There actually is a lot of hand work in small production and keeping things simple keeps price down.
