Need help with shape rig!

PostSat Apr 27, 2013 2:19 am

Hi! Just got my Shape rig but I need screws to hold the camera in place? Two top ones and a bottom screw? Where and what type should I get? I thought the rig would ship with screws for $900 but I guess I was wrong... = S

Never owned a rig before!

Bottom and top mounting holes on the camera are all 1/4" 20. So find regular 1/4 20 bolts at your nearest hardware store. I got like five 3/4" long ones for around $1 today.

Thanks! Went and got some! Worked like a charm! Do you know of any good bag that is able to fit the BMCC and the Shape cage without having to remove the cage?
