Which arm fits the accessory shoe? at DVinfo.net

Just in case anyone is up right now....

My XL2 will arrive tomorrow and I'm ordering some other accessories for it.

On this page: http://store.yahoo.com/cinemasupplies/irarmbr.html which monitor bracket will mount to the accessory shoe on the XL2? I wasn't sure how the XL2 shoe is constructed and I wanted to make sure before I laid down the cash on a bracket. I believe one 1/4-20 end will mount the Panasonic LCD I just purchased.

Also, before I purchase one of these, if someone knows of a cheaper alternative, please let me know. However, keep in mind that I will need to have the monitor upside down on the camera (I'll be using a micro35). I don't think other brackets I've seen will allow me to do that.

Thanks,

Kelly

Kelly,

This is the one you want, or anyone that says hot shoe.

or this one:

If you hadn't already purchased the monitor, I would have recommended the Marshall at B&H

You can flip the screen image without hanging it upside down.

Kelly,

I just read your previous post on powering your monitor. I'd like to make a suggestion. I haven't heard of anyone having this problem, BUT, that is a lot of weight on your camera's hot shoe. Monitor, large bracket, and a battery large enough to power it for any length of time. Not to mention that the XL2 is already front heavy.

When I bought mine, (XL2) I got the Anton Bauer battery kit in a package deal from B&H. It has the HyTron 50 battery, Titan 70 charger/AC power supply, and mounting bracket. This not a cheap set-up. If your pockets are deep enough, by all means, get the AB set-up. If not, get a battery belt, or extend the cord on that Nebtek adapter and hang it on your body, maybe rig it on a sling.

If you have to carry the XL2 around (I don't know what kind of shooting you intend to do) it will get heavy, fast! And like I said, it seems like a lot of stress on the hot shoe.
