I am hopefully buying a used SG BLADE, WITH THE SHOOT 35 RAILS for my ex1.

I am in need of handles and a shoulder pad for movement etc.

What grips/ shoulder fits the 15mm rods.

I have looked the at Jag 35 handles

Handles | Jag35.com - would these fit.

if not what is the indi system like? I haven't the budget for the red rock set up unfortunately :(

Thank you

I have also looked at the CAVISION handle and pad to fit on the shoot 35 rails.

But there is no UK supplier, so i have to pay stupid amount of shipping charges.

Any advice would be great thanks.

You might do well to buy the rest of the kit from Wayne Kinney's outfit, the manufacturer/vendor of the SGBlade adaptor. You will at least know it will fit up correctly.

If you look up Philip Bloom - DP, Director, Filmmaker (http://www.philipbloom.co.uk), he may still have his 35mm adaptor shoot-out on his website or maybe linked to in his blogs. He tested the Letus Extreme/Elite/Ultimate, the Cinevate Brevis and SGPro/SGBlade products over time. He has since moved on to digital SLRs. I think he might have favoured Zacuto rigs but it is some time back and my recall may be a bit clouded..
