What have you used to raise the HV20 so high?

I think he just change the 5/8 rod to a longer one instead of the standard 5/8 rod that comes with the Cinevate rail set.

Hi Phil,
David is correct... Dennis Wood of Cinevate gave me a 6 inch post in addition to the standard 3 1/4 inch post for the camera baseplate. The post is actually 5/8 inch tubing you can buy at most hardware stores. I knew I would need a longer post in order to raise everything high enough to fit into the mattebox at its lowest height so I just asked him to include it with my rails and mattebox. Cheers, Leo PS: How's the Extreme testing coming along? |

If you have a 72mm ring on the Extreme, you can use a pair of step rings to make the jump to the HV20/HV30 43mm threads.
52mm to 72mm ring and 43mm to 52mm ring That's what I use and they work great. |
