Bill Rodgers Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Just digging this out of the depths, to ask what handle??? I only ask, as I find the three finger and thumb grip really uncomfortable and need something BIGGER! :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andries Molenaar Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) There are extentions to the 4008 grip to level the bottom horizontal for a tripod, underwaterhousing or to have a fixing point for a matte box. Some of these have a nice shape which helps people who don't like the standard thing. Maybe you want something like on this 70-ies Beaulieu mock-up/study-model :) I suppose it allwos one finger extra.

Bill Rodgers Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Ooohhh... that was a very 'SPACE AGE' mock-up! B) I will try a grip extension and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Rodgers Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 'TLC' pretty much equates to spending more on new cells, handle and a full service. I'll be down nearly £300 GBP after all that but the camera only cost a little over £100 GBP.My work colleague Andy has kindly paid for it (he wanted 70fps for a project he wants me to shoot), so I get to keep it after that as part payment for my services. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Rodgers Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I would imagine a Cinegon Iscorama is quite a pricey piece of kit?I recall recently watching this one for the 6008-9008 models. - http://www.ebay.at/itm/121106134784?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
