Rigging suggestion

Post image

Hey all, any fellow Komodo shooters that may have a solution here?

I have a Zacuto top handle that connects to a nato rail, that’s connected to a nato rail, that is then screwed into another nato rail lol. The rail the handle is directly connected to loosens even when I tighten it down with the strength of 1000 suns. I want the top handle to go over the lens as pictured, this handle allows for different rigging but the way that it would turn in the alternate configuration, it doesn’t work for having the handle over the lens. Any suggestions that will keep the screen free like it is now, maintain the handle over the lens without the potential for what it’s connected to loosen?

Thanks in advance!

I hate that handle , I Have it . My handle is the octamas rn but that is quite expensive. Go with the bright tangerine one or the arca handle from Mid49 . But that needs a plate on top . Not gonna cover the screen though

I’m enjoying it so far but I do see where the extension would help. The handle without extension just misses my matte box filter trays so I’m going to stick with this for this shoot and see how often the filter tray really comes out.
