Aahh OOOhhh. As Paris would say that's hot. What do you know you can go handheld with that plate.

Which thing are you meaning? that V-mount plate?

yeah I've wanted one for a while I just think it's not worth 200 bucks.

my HD110 doesn't have the v-mount on the bottom, it's a regular threaded hole, so I just used whatever quick-release plates I had laying around to make it work for now. The newer HD200/250 has the v-mount.

And yes, I go handheld all the time. I have the rod-mounted handles from Cavision, and it takes the strain off of the lens. The lens doesn't take any of the weight of the camera, it's all on the rods.

It's a good investment to protect your lens from bumping against the ground, even when you do not have a mattebox.

What 2/3" camera are you using?

sony DSR 500 and a 370 too but i figure it' be the same setup.
