Seth Baldwin Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) The mamiya gets hella heavy, even with a hand grip, and neck straps kill. Any systems like ready rigs that I can connect to the strap connectors? Its meant to be a studio camera, but I like the flexibility of going handheld more often.

Ed Conley Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 That Mamiya RZ strap mount is pretty specific. I imagine you'll have to find an extra Mamiya strap and figure out some way to attach it to a ReadyRig bungee cords or any of the other brands out there. You are certainly on the heavy side with all the accessories attached to the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Conley Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 The old tried and true Monopod is an option as well. Certainly not quite as agile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Baldwin Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) What if I go for a shoulder rig setup. But because the viewfinder is in the centre of the camera, it'd have to be something along the lines as those DSLR shoulder rigs that position the operators head in front of the monitor attached to the camera vs the shoulder rigs that place the operators head on the side of the camera (which is the case with shoulder rigs made for cinema cameras). And it'd also have to be some kind of shoulder rig that places the camera slightly lower then the operators shoulder. And due to it's dimensions, a shoulder rig with handles spread wider apart. Any suggestions? Edited September 24, 2020 by Seth Baldwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Conley Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Find a local welder who can fabricate a custom cage out of aluminum. Don't see it as being too difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
