Left arm to go with Ursa Mini Shoulder Plate ?

PostWed Jul 26, 2017 5:38 pm

Hey All -

I previously had been using a set of RedRock Micro Shoulder handles that extended from rails, but I recently got a Matte box and a follow focus that makes the rails a little crowded So I'd love to use the built in Rosettes with the exsisting Ursa Mini handle. Does anyone know of a left arm that works well with the plate ? I already have a Wooden left handle with a rosette, but I'm struggling to find one that will work well ergonomically with the plate.


Thanks

--Zac

I use SmallRig's "Arri Extension Arm 1807". It is almost the same size as BM's arm so it matches. (I also use it with their wooden grip which makes a nice config)

if you don't mind me asking where did you order it from ? Amazon has the shorter version, and the only other palces I can find it are direct from china

Thanks Nick !

I actually messaged Smallrig through Amazon - they are Re-stocking those arms on Aug 5th for anyone not wanting to deal with International shipping !
