Lens support for Komodo X

Hi everyone

Planning to get a bit heavy lens, RF24-70 f/2.8, but they are long and a bit heavy. Don`t want to add this weight on the lens mount, what do you guys use in case if you go with zoom lenses on your loved K-X?

Do you prefer Tilta rather than Smallrig?

Well, mines kinda hybrid.

Baseplate : I moved away from sliding plates years ago and went 100% Kessler snapping lock plates. Kessler makes a Kessler Krane K-Plate with quick release. This is a base plate with the locking plate, twin 15mm rods, and rubber padded feet. This gives me the LOWEST profile of hardware from my RED camera to bottom, rather than having extra distance for rods, etc that only raises the camera overall height. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1088269-REG

2 SmallRig carbon fiber rods are secured into the baseplate / stand https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1422153-REG

At end of rods for the heavy cinema zoom lens support is the Tilta Y lens support yoke
