The cheese plate for the top of the FS7 does not require removing the handle, just the screws on the side you want to mount it on, and replace them with my screws. This is nice for mounting Monitors or Recorders like the O7Q, and with this plate you can use my Odyssey mounting system that always keeps the horizon level and allows mounting in the back, front high or low and on the right or left side of the FS7. I call it the half cheese plate, it is very light and mounts on either side, or you can use 2 to have both sides at the same time.

And I have the tail hook for the VCT14 back with 15mm rod clamps ready as well. Next week I will have a 15mm vertical or horizontal cheese plate for the rear of the FS7 with a choice of battery plates BPU, GoldMount or IDX Vmonts. This is nice because you can balance the camera by sliding the batteries back and forth on the Rods. And a special Metabones/Canon lens foot fastener or standard lens support on the front rails. More on this next week.

The photos shows our basic kit with suede shoulder pad and 15mm rail clamps for the front of the FS7. The photos also show all the ways you can use the Odyssey mounting kit to place the EVF or Odyssey pretty much anywhere. This will work fine with the Sony Back as well. The Odyssey can be used as a screen when shouldering instead of the EVF or can help to balance the FS7 when shouldering. Or it can be used by a focus puller on the right, the positions are almost endless. It will also work with the back cheese plate/battery plate mount on the 15mm rod part of my kit or with the cheese plate that can be mounted on the back of my rig w/o rods in the back.

Here are a few photos, many more are on the page from the link in the top of this post or here.
