Re: EX3 Users I need input -Exmount or ST7 mount ????
You might want to consider a more generic shoulder mount which you can use with other cameras, especially as your currently using BP-U batts. V-Lock batts and charger are not cheap items. The ProTech works, but it's not the most elegant engineering I've seen.

Re: EX3 Users I need input -Exmount or ST7 mount ????
I can vouch for Olof's mount. It's pretty much a permanent installation on my EX-3. However; I did already have the IDX brick system, so it was an easy and cost effective transition

Re: EX3 Users I need input -Exmount or ST7 mount ????
Olof's is an excellent support system. You may also look at this one from DM-Accessories: DM-Accessories — EX3-SHOULDER Shoulder Brace For EX3 Camcorders
I have used the original design for the last 3 years to good effect.

Re: EX3 Users I need input -Exmount or ST7 mount ????
here's my support shoulder brace. The nanoflash is screwed on with a bracket on the back. Works for me!

Re: EX3 Users I need input -Exmount or ST7 mount ????
I've become a big fan of the Genus Rig. It's the first outfit that lets me shoulder mount and maintain balance and functionality. I also use the original batteries or Switek to run my Nano and the extra weight on the back just makes balance a breeze, even for long periods.
With the aid of Manfrotto zoom controller (the smallest I could find), I no longer have to remove my hand from the handles to start, stop or zoom the lens. |
